Broughton and Horkheimer

Broughton and Horkheimer are associated with critical perspectives on society and culture. Max Horkheimer was a German philosopher and social theorist, co-founder of the Frankfurt School, who analyzed how capitalism and mass media influence human thinking and freedom. He believed that societal structures often manipulate individuals, leading to conformity and oppression. Broughton, while less prominent, has engaged with similar themes, examining the ways societal systems shape behavior and cultural practices. Both scholars emphasize the importance of critical thinking to challenge powerful institutions and promote greater awareness of social influences on our lives.
