Identity Crisis or Kardashian Cloning?

The West's identity crisis spirals as cultural uniformity reigns. As Jonathan Pageau and James Poulos discuss, Western civilization's confusion deepens with the erosion of tradition and purpose. Pageau points out that identity is born from engaging with one's community and heritage. Meanwhile, national symbols like anthems suffer from fragmentation as modern media amplifies sameness. Poulos critiques the internet's hollow diversity, likening Instagram's beauty ideals to a homogenized, "Kardashian-esque" standard. Is this digital age eroding individual and cultural identity, leaving us as clones? The ongoing debate highlights a critical cultural crossroad.
