The fantasy violence on TV is a reminder that the
violence of the real world is much motivated by
people questing for lost identity. Rollo May and
others have pointed out that violence in the real
world is the mark of those questing for identity.
On the frontier everybody is a nobody, and
therefore the frontier manifests the patterns of
toughness and vigorous action on the part of
those trying to find out who they are.
Marshall McLuhan, “A Last Look at the Tube”,
Marshall McLuhan: The Man and His Message ,
(Golden, 1989), pp. 197-198.
