Contra el anatema de la telebasura

Abstract

There are many who argue that the decline in curiosity for knowledge, the rejection of effort, and the difficulty of concentration for children and young people in school has a very close relationship with the consumption of trash TV. Whether this extreme statement is true or not, the truth is that the attempt to understand that strange pleasure that is produced in our society from watching trash TV must inevitably take into account all of those theories which, in one way or another, explain the fascination that almost all of us feel for the tacky, the cheap and the stupid.
