"The One-Dimensional Society" refers to a concept introduced by philosopher Herbert Marcuse in his book of the same name. It describes a society where critical thinking and individuality are suppressed, leading to a culture that values conformity over diversity. In this environment, people often accept mainstream ideas without questioning them, resulting in a lack of genuine freedom and creativity. In a one-dimensional society, technology and consumerism play significant roles in shaping people's lives. Mass media promotes a narrow range of opinions, making it difficult for alternative viewpoints to emerge. This creates a cycle where individuals become passive consumers rather than active participants in their own lives, ultimately stifling social progress and personal growth.
