Those who speak English, can immediately respond that monotonous word "image" has two versions of the Russian translation: 1. "image";2. "Idol."
According to modern linguists, the first value has been artificially created by the media.The second, I think, is particularly accurate reflection of the essence, because the desire to have a high status sometimes very similar to an idolatry.
features modern image can be divided into two main types: holistic and technocratic, each of which has its own subspecies and performs specific roles.
