Essay

Apply the following quote to a real life example. Remember to relate the example back to critical theory: "In advanced societies, however, culture has become synonymous with industry and hence subject to the rule of efficient production and standardization that is its hallmark. The relationship between mass culture and the individual is one akin to that of seller and buyer. However, "the customer is not king, as the culture industry would like to have us believe, not its subject but its object" (ibid.:99)."
