Lens Question: Comparing MacDonald's A Theory of Mass Culture & Hairspray


In the comparison between MacDonald's A Theory of Mass Culture & the film, Hairspray

Lens Question:

How can MacDonalds analysis of Mass Culture as an “imposition from above” and Folk Culture (which is shaped by the people themselves) illuminate our understanding of the role of cultural dynamics and the selection of a winner in the movie Hairspray?
