Respuesta :

C apex, Society accepts any information as true without validation 


The correct answer here would be C) Society accepts any information as true without validation.


In his book from 1985 named "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business", Neil Postman addresses the issue of the negative impact television has on people and their reasoning.

The most clearly stated disadvantage of living in a world dominated by the presence of televisions, according to Postman, is that "the truth or falsity of an advertiser's claim is simply not an issue" because more often than not "no claims are made, except those the viewer projects onto or infers from the drama."

In other words, by saying that the truth or falsity of something claimed on TV is not even an issue, he wants to draw our attention to the fact that people have started accepting whatever they are served on TV as facts and ultimate truth without any skepticism or doubt which is devastating for the reason of a healthy, intelligent individual.
