| Publisher Description: What does popular culture teach us about ourselves -- our values, our interests, and our hopes for the future? In Acculturated, an all-star line up of contributors examines everything from television shows like Toddlers in Tiaras, Modern Family, and The Biggest Loser to online dating to Lady Gaga to trashy tabloid magazines, in order to assess the state of core virtues like thrift, honesty, perseverance, and generosity in our modern age. |
