Cultural studies and sinetron in Indonesia

Cultural studies is an indiciplinary science that sees things from media views. Not like Antropolgy that talks more about how the things are invented and when something is happened, but cultural studies discuss about the media-effect in people, how it goes and people's mindset about media.

For example, sinetron in Indonesia. The themes are always same every channel. Nowadays, many sinetron have the same issue: "Children and their imaginary mind". Last year, the horror and mistical sinetron was so popular. With this, we can see that it sets up people's thinking ( esp. women and housewives because they have more times spending in front of TV).

Many housewives are affected by the plot of the sinetron they watched. Even they don't take care of their family when the sinetron plays. There are prime-time for sinetron, starts from 6 pm until 11 pm (imagine that!). The housewives keep on watching more than 2 sinetron with different title and story.

So, this is what happened in my country now. Just a minute ago, my mom got angry with my brother just because he moved the channel into sports match from sinetron.

Well, i can not say anymore words to talk about this..... Any comment?
