To begin with

Cultural analysts believe that in order to understand the meaning of something in society, look at its representation in the media. While this may be valid, I’m also inclined to believe that the media caters to the lowest common denominator. It panders to ratings and advertising. Media has no soul. And yet we're too busy to bother.

So let’s rework this: In order to understand the meaning of something in society, look at its representation in art and literature.  Can we do that? 

To understand this place, turn to artists and writers. There are a lot of them here.
