Marxism may be understood through the social classes of a society which may be solely controlled by the elite. This makes me question..."who is in charge?" Why are there certain shows that make it on each broadcasting network? Its funny because the movie productions go through such a grueling process on finding the right star to play their movie. The producers and casting directors originally thought of George Clooney to play in their movie, "Jurassic World" though with specific studying on target audiences the producers knew George Clooney didn't have the youth to pull in a young crowd, therefore they saw the success of upcoming star Chris Pratt and chose him to lead in the summer blockbuster.
There are certain ideologies the movie industry incorporate within their movies that are connected with social ideas. Still woman lead roles are not as abundant as male lead role and the diversification of incorporating a different ethnic group is thin within the movie industry. What if "Jurassic World" cast a Asian or Hispanic lead? Would the sales differentiate? Or even a homosexual individual to star? There are certain social and political aspects that may have not been broken, though through time our ideas and way of thinking will evolve than fifty years ago. With Marxism, individuals need to stop and think freely and question everything. Why are "they" focusing on these certain issues? Why are "they" promoting these certain marketing ads? What are "they" promoting as distractions so they do not focus on certain issues. Its the responsibility of the individual to think outside of the box and make themselves informed to make their own opinions.
