Culture of Stupidity

I breifly covered this in my last post, but i believe movies today are begining to create new social norms among highschool age teens. I have noticed that many teens today no longer value hard work and good grades, but likewise they praise their peers who slack off and proposely act stupid. This new norm is being supported by many new teenage comidies such as my example SuperBad. I am calling this new norm the Culture of Stupidity, in which teens value acting stupid more than being smart. I realy wonder why teens believe these false portrayal's that are in the movies?
