Introduction
Global carnival theory by McLuhan is a theory that talks about the new generation. That is the way of living, public appearance, behavior, attitude and the new society. The author wanted to convey the message the view on how the effect and positivity of the way people are living currently. In the 19th and 20th century the way human beings were living has completely changed compare to what we see today. Of course, everyone can see the difference. It is arguable that the difference started after the end of the 1st world war. Today’s world moral behavior has changed. The way people used to behave in front of their elders and the ways elders behave in of the young adults. One begins to ask, where the good moral that we were all taught in our childhood. Is it possible to reverse the situation? McLuhan speaks about how the things that used to consider done by adult in private place are now being done in openly by the miners and young adults.
Is everything happening the way it used to happen? Perhaps no. let the truth be told the society has changed. I agree with McLuhan theory. Recently, I was watched a commercial ad on one of the channel around (Tucker 2010). There was an ad that was advertising vegetable fresh fry oil. The ad featured a lady and gentleman sited under a palm tree dressed in swimming costume. All over sudden they started undressing each other, what I ask myself is what does fresh fry has to do with romancing. This explains clearly how the world as accepted this morals.
Today take a ride and go to the nearest mall and see who you will find advertising products and their mode of dressing. Latest research result explain that 61% of all website you will try to access you will be linked to a pornographic site through an online banner. What does it take to access a pornographic site, online accepting that you are 18 and above. There are no rules that can stop miners from access such kind of sites (Shepard 2009). Take a look at the current situation in America, right now open marriages are being practiced in America.
McLuhan piece of art is of low quality. The reality is that what he is explaining is the truth and that there is a reality of addressing the whole truth in order to address this immoral behaviors happening in our world. One cannot view exactly what is in the video not unless you strain your eyes. The whole clip is in waterproof format. It is the sound quality is also unclear of what is in the video clip.
Finally, the society is changing in terms of illiteracy. Nevertheless, McLuhan is justified to say that the social life of human being has changed. From his video, if you can spot a naked lady dancing naked. This is the reality of what is happening in the 21st century. If you watch on TV you will hear individual taking freely confessing that stripping is there carrier.
In conclusion, McLuhan exposes the reality of what is happening to the world. He explains social changes that have taken place in the world. Individuals who existed in the world in the early 20th century and human living in the world today are two different social lives.
