In conclusion, Max Weber's ideas about the iron cage, disenchantment, and charisma can be applied to the proliferation of rough entertainment and media content in modern society. The emphasis on edgy, provocative, and often violent content in modern media reflects the dehumanizing effects of capitalist society, where profit and ratings are valued above all else. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern media, it is essential to consider the implications of this trend and to seek out alternative forms of entertainment and media that prioritize artistic merit, cultural value, and human well-being.

Also, I want to make clear that the sources cited are for illustrative purposes only; an actual academic essay would require more thorough and properly formatted citations.
