Johnny comes home late from work. He feels tired and decides to spend the night relaxing in front of the TV and entertaining himself with some shows. His cable company offers him a hundred television channels. He taps the remote control until, through the variety of programs, he finds something familiar and appealing. He quickly becomes engulfed in the plot to the point that the TV show offers him a comfortable escape from his stressful life. There are many similar forms of passive entertainment that he could have chosen from: surfing the Internet, shopping in art galleries, concerts, music, etc. The consumer can decide to commit to being entranced by a specific work of art or discard it and look for a new way to pass the time. Due to the high volume of art, we often don't have enough time to really see and analyze our surroundings and art ends up simply providing an experience. Consequently, the active consumption of art is only possible when we seek to find moral meaning in art and engage with the ideas it presents. Therefore, art criticism must concern itself with the morality of a work of art to be able to understand its value because the ubiquitous contemporary media provide cultural ideas that must be examined from a point of view that analyzes their implications beyond the consumerist values ​​such as materialism and entertainment. The ability to choose gives us the impression that we are engaging with the art, but our choices are only active when they are based on critical analysis of the work rather than the experience it provides. When we stop engaging with ideas, we allow our entertainment to run free and promote what it wants. Critics must orient consumers and help them understand the consequences of their artistic choices. relevant and influential when we derive meaning from it, which is why criticism can be useful in understanding its value. Criticism transforms us from drone consumers to active thinkers. Critics are entitled to their opinions, and a company's disagreement with a critic has sometimes had a greater impact. There are many points of view and conclusions.
