In today's America, everything must be wrapped in entertainment. Teachers must be entertainers, employing an array of media experiences. Politicians must be clever and funny and ready with the humorous sound bite. Sports must have the big show, the talking heads, the bling graphics and the athlete antics. Even entertainment must be wrapped in entertainment--outrageous costumes, light shows, fireworks, multiple screaming screens. We and are swamped in entertainer stories, celebrity silliness and more.
The message is then that nothing is intrinsically worthwhile in and of itself. No value is in the joy of learning or leading or discovering for its own sake...unless it is entertaining.
