Mind Your Own Business:The Battle for Personal Privacy by Gina Graham speaks to an affront to the individual that is at once indicitive of society,s feeling of lack of importance in own,s own life and the need to find, vicariously, in the lives of others that life. We have moved from the boob-tube to the life of the individual as a way of distancing ourselves from what we feel to be a routine and mundane existance, to that of critic of others lives. This ever increasing genre of intrusivness shows the sad state of affairs that humanity now lives in. We have removed ourselves from inward meditation to a need for outward criticism. Such a paradigm is a glaring testamony to a new age of shallowness.Today we live only for the bankrupt bread and circus that the media heaps upon us daily. From high speed pursuits, to low level police interactions with private citizens, to a fire, we attempt to escape our own lives and hide in the drama and pain of others.
