Cultura de masas

Cultura de masas, or mass culture, refers to the shared set of experiences, beliefs, entertainment, and trends created by media and industries that are widely produced and consumed by large audiences. It includes popular music, movies, television, fashion, and other forms of entertainment that reach broad demographics. Mass culture is often characterized by its accessibility and the way it influences societal norms and identities. While it can promote unity and shared understanding, it can also lead to homogeneity and loss of local or traditional customs. Essentially, it shapes and reflects the collective tastes and interests of mainstream society.
