CULTURAL CRITICISM
Cultural Criticism Audio & Video

Interested in contemporary American culture, social criticism, or cultural studies? This LearnOutLoud.com section features a variety of audio titles by authors like Tom Wolfe and Neil Postman, as well as many audio books on topics ranging from the media, advertising, and entertainment in America to consumerism, cultural tendencies, cultural history, critiques of our educational institutions.

Browse through our audio library to find titles like "From Dawn To Decadence" by cultural critic, historian, and professor Jacques Barzun. Available on cassette, audio download, and MP3-CD, this audio book covers 500 years of western cultural life in decline. Or try "The Progress Paradox" by Gregg Easterbrook, which discusses why many Americans still feel unhappy even though we are better off today than we were yesterday. This audio book is available on CD and digital download.

Does modern culture encourage cheating? Is there so much pressure in society to be number one, that most Americans will do anything to get it at any cost? Listen to "The Cheating Culture" by David Callahan to find out why so many Americans cheat in school, in business, and at work now more than ever before.

Be sure to check out Jean Francois-Revel’s "Anti-Americanism". This audio book is not about what’s wrong with America — it’s about what’s right! Revel discusses the many reasons for “Anti-Americanism”, including envy, and solutions that could result in better relationships between the U.S. and other countries.

Whatever your interests may be regarding society and culture, LearnOutLoud.com has a title for you.
