what is one reason postman believes television is a myth in current culture?
a. because tv offers experiences that normal society will never personally experience
b. because tv is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible
c. because tv offers an unbiased view on a plethora of topics
d. because tv is accepted as normal in some societies but shunned in others

Explanation:

Neil Postman argued that television functions as a myth because its cultural pervasiveness makes its influence taken for granted (invisible), shaping values and perceptions without critical awareness—aligning with the idea of myths as unexamined cultural truths. Other options are incorrect: A misrepresents his focus on invisibility, C contradicts his view of TV's biased, entertainment-driven framing, and D does not reflect his argument about TV as a myth in current culture.

Answer:

B. Because TV is so embedded in the culture that its effects are invisible
