![]() Morrie doesn't watch much television himself, but when he is asked to appear on Ted Koppel's Nightline show, he agrees (after grilling Koppel about his own personal culture) and later agrees to two more interviews. One way to understand Morrie's culture is through the way he interacts with television. It is focused on interpersonal relationships rather than things and achievements. Throughout his life, Morrie created a culture based on discussion groups, long walks, and spending time with friends. Throughout the Tuesday visits, he counsels Mitch to create his own personal culture so he too can live his life to the fullest. He instead advocates for the creation of personal cultures, or a system of living life that allows someone to be fulfilled through careful questioning of modern culture and religion. ![]() He takes issue with modern culture's overvaluing of materiality, achievement, and superficial things, which he believes is not conducive to living a happy, fulfilled, and successful life. ![]() Morrie's guiding philosophy of life is that each person must not simply accept the larger modern (mid 1990s) culture, which he consistently critiques. ![]()
