We see much in life but we need to take a step back and see that God is around too and even working to open our eyes to him through the struggles we endure. One may be the vast and diverse variety of people's character traits.
We are surrounding ourselves with messages but are so busy we actually have no time to do anything but presume the assumptions made are true, this leads to an easily swayed populace.
We align our glory with what glorifies us in our frame of reference, that it usually the most dominant medium known to us. Television leads the way in that department, so we take on the values and norms and references determined overtime.
