A good example is Hollywood that has produced movies which promote immoral behavior, I would say it could be difficult to censor the media nowadays in the US, and few people notice the harm of the media.I don't necessarily know if I have a solution - I don't think Marx's solution is anything close to good (as I don't believe economic systems can ultimately change selfish human nature), and I don't trust the government to be for our best interest, considering not only the amount of people in history that have utilized government for the stifling of dissent when actual problems occur and ignoring those problems (that's not to mention that such stifling includes mass murder e.g. the Stalinist purges), but even the absolute bureaucracy that becomes apparent in most societies today with executive agencies and government-provided services, in which very little gets accomplished due to a lack of incentive.
But still, I often times think that many of the problems in our society that we have are a direct result of our corporate economic system, and that it is self-destructive for only causing these problems and much more.
Ideally, what we would want is a balance with a government who can objectively see what is morally good for people to regulate these businesses when they become sociologically harmful to a great extent physically, mentally, or spiritually - but the problem is there that in our society, there is no moral authority to make decisions on what is actually good for people or not, nor is the government independent of businesses, in which businesses can have special interest politicians get elected due to excessive amounts of money, for the benefit of the business and not the benefit of the people. Plus, the problem here is that to what level is something "sociologically harmful" can be contestable - I mean, are fast-food chains sociologically harmful?
