Dreyfus-A leveled culture

Dreyfus argued that our culture has been leveled or flattened, meaning we lack culture and differentiation. This is undoubtedly true. The majority of the population lives in similar looking houses, wears similar clothes, drive similar cars, eat similar food, and owns similar smart phones. Religious and ethnic clothing are worn less. Mass production of similar goods and media have a huge part in why we have become dehumanized. Many people are vulnerable to a good commercial that is trying to sell them the latest fad. The more we are told something is "normal" or "cool" the more some fall prey to that idea, and the more large industries will produce to keep us 'flat'.
