Mainstream culture is why People magazine exists...and that's just one of many of its virtues.

By all means, identify the universally shared or unifying beliefs of all the individuals that compose "mainstream culture."

You've seen them in the first post.

I asked you to identify the universally shared or unifying beliefs of all the individuals that compose "mainstream culture."

Many who you would consider to be a part of "mainstream culture" do not share all of those beliefs.

What a stupid thread

Where you are just a bit slow.

I was about to post a reply pointing out that what you just wrote isn't a complete though, but then I decided against letting myself be trolled.

Have a nice--albeit truncated--stay at KMC.

And yet, "society"--a term I was using as not strictly defined by the denotation, as noted in the original post--does have such qualities.

So, all Christians think homosexuality is wrong? So, all members of society think homosexuality is right or "normal"?

Disagreeing does not identify the universally shared or unifying beliefs of all the individuals that compose "mainstream culture."

If it makes you feel better

It was a silly statement. And it was an even more silly example. I don't understand how you thought that People magazine was going to illustrate your point. Does it make you feel better?

Notice that this does not actually represent the whole of society, just the stereotyped mainstream culture.

The emphasis being stereotyped, i.e. unrepresentative generalization about an entire population.
