Part 11/12:
Cultural Trends: The Decline of Civility and Rational Discourse
These episodes exemplify a broader cultural decline characterized by intolerance, hyper-sensitivity, and a propensity for outrage. Whether through offensive monologues, calls for violence, or biased media framing, societal discourse increasingly resembles chaos rather than constructive debate.

Meanwhile, audiences—particularly youth—are often caught in the crossfire, swayed by sensationalism and polarization rather than critical thinking.
