Do some people think our culture is screwed up?

Question

For paying entertainers billions more dollars than people that sustain our health and people that teach us to become successful individuals.

What does it show about our society that actors and athletes make up a large portion of the richest people in the US?

Answer 1

The only thing that I want to say is that; In the Arab world which I am one of them, like America’s People but not America’s Government.

If the media was more open I mean in the USA and people in the government was more friendly and peaceful, there would be more people around the world like your country,,, but unfortunately,

Take Care

  

Answer 2

Oh, yes, American culture is completely screwy.

There is too much consumerism, materialism, and WAY too much of celebrity obsession.

In my opinion, the "celebrity culture" shows that Americans prefer to hide their heads in the sand of a false world presented in the form of entertainment than to go out and face the real one.

Answer 3

The entire world is screwed.

Answer 4

well sad to say, but the entertainment business is way more competitive. there are people who are literally born playing basketball or singing. so alot is expected out of you, if your going into entertainment. now on the other hand. you are not born teaching the world or healing peoples wounds. most teachers and doctors will say they didnt know what they wanted to be until their freshmen year in high school. its all about whats more competitive.
