Ally McBeal: Cultural Values And Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The notoriety of Ally McBeal is not that surprising if one considers the standard elements of contemporary popular culture that it depicts. Indeed, the extent to which this particular program highlights such cultural values as capitalism and individualism, while at the same time devaluing certain ways of being, lends to the show's credibility as a reflection of society. Money and self-centeredness are two of the primary cultural values that stand out in virtually every episode; amidst the young law firm is a collection of people whose ideals are as shallow as a child's. That everything revolves around the amassing of great quantities of money reflects the manner by which society has rearranged priorities by placing superficiality at the top of the list. Add to that a significant sense of feminism gone awry and it all adds up to a television program that offends virtually every possible social group. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
