Mass Society




The theory of mass society, cited by Daniel Bell in the first essay in '' The End Of Ideology '' (1960) as being "probably the most influential social theory in the Western world today", is derived from several sources. Bell, after a survey of the diverse origins and permutations of the concept concludes it does not apply to modern American with its many diverse Voluntary Organization s.

thus shaping the nature of "public opinion". The theory of mass society has heavily influenced public discourse on Popular Culture and even scholarly Popular Culture Studies .
