Except somewhere along the line, 'do your own thing' turns into 'do our thing, or else.'

Nice article.
We are all a sum of our genes, conditioning and environment. TV is a marvelous means of conditioning the masses and as a society we've been at the forefront of receiving this conditioning. The Internet has amped this effect. And since the 60's more and more segments of our society have been conditioning us through the visual medium. Three examples are political parties, the scientific community and DOD.
Edit: We are all consumers and everything is a product.
