Modern Society / Desensitized to Natural Beauties

Abstract: 6 pages in length. A comprehensive look at the theories of Walker Percy -- who asserts that we, as a society, are desensitized so much by the media that naturally-aesthetic scenery & images cannot possibly seem as beautiful to us as they should. For example, we have already seen and heard so much about the Grand Canyon that going there for the first time would not necessarily be the same awe-inspiring experience for us that it was for people hundreds of years ago. Bibliography is unavailable.
