Abstract
[Our postmodern culture suffers from the enormous impact of market forces on everyday life. We live in an era where the United States has replaced Europe as the global hegemonist. There is an increase of political polarizations along the lines of nation, race, gender (sex, sexuality, sex roles, sexual orientation, sexism), class, denomination and faith traditions. In our world, culture is sanitized and then commodified. This process of changing aesthetic tastes—domestication of the once exotic or feared other, uncontrolled appropriation, market-driven refiners’ fires, mass production, and marketing—is for our enjoyment at the expense of people’s lives and shrinking paychecks. Often the solution is placed in the hands of lottery games—games of chance.]
