Nostalgia and Society: Family Spaces through the Lens of Culture

This chapter explores the nostalgic memories of childhood visits to McDonald's and the impact of family-oriented spaces in different cultures, particularly comparing the experiences in Poland and Hungary to those in the U.S. It addresses the decline of family representation in media and education and critiques societal shifts that emphasize career over family, suggesting these changes harm societal values. The conversation also examines the complex intersection of the entertainment industry, LGBTQ representation, and historical advocacy within marginalized communities.
