Culture Industry

... The function of the culture industry is therefore, ultimately, to organize leisure time in the same way as industrialization has organized work time......

My thoughts
In Korea, there is a big thing for people, that is English. Many parents spend a lot of money on English education for their children. English kindergardens became very popular. Many university students go abroad to study English like following the fashion trend. More business people attend an English class because they think they have to.
I always ask the reason why they want to study English at the first time in class. I'm surprised to hear that so many people answer they study English because other people do. Sometimes I'm wondering... what makes people study English here in Korea?
