The statement suggests that modern culture has both positive and negative aspects - it allows for diversity in music preferences, but at the same time promotes a consumerist lifestyle within a capitalist society. Therefore, the effect identified is that modern culture is both freeing and constraining. Option B suggests that globalization is resulting in a more heterogeneous world, which is not explicitly stated in the statement. Option C suggests that globalization is resulting in a more homogeneous world, which contradicts the idea of people being eclectic in their music preferences. Option D is partially true but misses the broader point that modern culture is not solely derived from media messages.
