I've been reading and researching what has become of "events" in modern life, so thanks for this thread. By the way, "Children of Men" will probably be shown in Halifax and New Glasgow and Pictou far sooner than it will appear on screens in Nashua, NH, so I'll either get it on DVD or wait until I'm back home to watch it.

He has a point, but I think he attributes too much importance to shared media experiences. A few years ago, I too was convinced the echo chamber effect was quite pronounced, but I saw a glimmer of hope when I took a look at some data from Claria that showed that even political blog audiences cross-pollinated points of view a lot more than I thought possible. I figured that if lefty and righty bloggers and blog readers - who would be my leading suspects as far as crystallization of the echo chamber effect goes - can voluntarily expose themselves to alternative points of view, other folks probably can and do as well. I haven’t worried about the echo chamber effect much since. [...] [...] Brad Berens laments the loss of shared moments in media.

Seeing a problem leads to the cognitive process to solve the problem. Just recognizing that a problem exists is only the first step in resolution (e.g. medical diagnosis requires recognizing a problem is present, but you have to "see" it to fully understand the ramifications and proper steps in diagnostic evaluation that lead to correct treatment Ostranenie should occur in many aspects of our lives.
