The Chains of Conformity

On page 15 we are given the main goal of the situationist movement that being “to create situations in which powerless individuals have control over there daily lives.” This is obviously a very big goal to try to achieve. On page 8 there is a reference to the cult of celebrities and how we worship it as a way to fill holes in our own lives. In today’s society to you believe popular entertainment is still all encompassing in this way? Do you believe that some are powerless to change there situation in modern day society? It seems these problems are very relevant today but you will certainly get a different answer depending on who you ask.
