A return to cultural indicators

Abstract

This article discusses the notion of cultural indicators, an important theoretical component in cultivation theory. The concept of cultural indicators is reviewed, especially in relation to issues of portrayals of violence on television and portrayals of homosexuality. It is argued that violence on television plays a nebulous role as a cultural indicator, due to unchanging levels of violence. Minority portrayals are seen as a more valid cultural indicator
