Adorn's beliefs

I personally find what Adorn says to be extremely relevant, perhaps some aspects are outdated, but there are definitely attributes that still hold true. One thing that Adorn states that I find very interesting is “The cultural industry turns into public relations”. I find this statement to be thought provoking yet relevant at the same time. I think that a big part of our culture today is made by few people who bring this to broader attention and eventually making it the ideals and culture of the specific society.  

                   

However, there is another statement that Adorn mentions briefly that I believe to be quite out dated. This statement is “It is true that thorough research has not, for this time being, produced an airtight case proving the regressive effects of particular products of the culture industry.” In present there has been ample research on cultural studied in the media. Many of these publications have shown a correlation between culture industries and the effects on particular products.
