ENGLISH 1A03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Bothy, Junk Food
Document Summary
Teens spend billion of their own money each year. Children 12 and under spend billion per year and influence + billion in household spending. Children and teens constitute an enormous market for corporations and have, until now, been overlooked. This video shows the invasion of public space. Public spaces that exist today have many restrictions. Parks have admittance fees, limit types of recreation. Legal services are only free to those in debt-free circumstances. Tv airwaves have all been sold to private companies by the gov"t. Many sponsored education materials are used by schools. Products are placed in textbooks (ie. math problems involving oreos) Commercialization gets into schools by offering free goods (ie. maps, book orders with commercialized characters) School sanctions this by allowing it in their classrooms. As books and learning materials are costly, schools are more likely to use the less expensive, sponsored material. Since these are sometimes free, they pass right through the objective analysis.
