Abstract

Alienation means that people and their target world are in an opposite state. There is an inseparable internal relationship between mass culture and human alienation. The alienation of human beings has created conditions for the prosperity of mass culture, and in turn the mass culture has deepened the alienation of human beings. At the same time, mass culture has become another type of ideology in the contemporary era; at least it has carried out a kind of “alternative ideology” function to the public in a cultural form.
