Mood Disorders (Becoming Detached from the Cultural World)

Page four paragraph four in Culture jam explains how humans are becoming more detached from the natural world. It gives examples of how most people don't even know why the sky is blue or cannot remember the last time they smelled wild skunk cabbage. It also talks about how we as families are becoming less engaged in story times. In early years Native Americans told stories of the moon, epic battles, hunting experiences, and the stars. Instead we are now becoming more reliant on television and technology to tell us stories. Examples of this would be television shows such Jerry Springer, Oprah, or Maury. Instead of families telling stories with one another they now gather around the television and stray from that inner culture being and substitute technology as a form of story telling.

So the question I ask is. Is the fact that humans are straying from the "warmth" of mother earth an accepted fact of evolution, or is it a serious problem that needs to be addressed?
