Conclusion

Abstract

Laughter occurs in all situations and circumstances in one’s life, culture, history, and social setting. This book examined the social structure that allowed a Korean singer named Psy to rise to global stardom. The question of whether we are “laughing at Psy” or “laughing with Psy” takes on a deeper meaning when we examine it theologically and in light of the “persona” or mask of God. Our society is broken because of discrimination, racism, prejudice, and dishonoring of those who are different from us. Part of seeking to live out lives of justice and love is about preventing the diminishing and harming of people. Instead of harming we are called to work toward honoring and lifting one another up, for we are all created in the image of God.
