Never mind the fact that Naomi makes these sweeping generalizations about consumers. 1) Wal-mart censors. Yes, most people that shop at Wal-mart do not like "offensive" material. But guess what, the people that like cheap groceries and uncensored music still go to wal-mart. They just buy their music elsewhere. 2) You would have to be quiet the idiot to buy into a "Nike mentality". I buy Nike shoes because I'm fly as shit and they make nice looking sneakers. That's the sole reason....
I bet the people in sweat shops like their $1 a day a lot more than the $.05 they would earn elsewhere or relying on crops not to fail so they don't starve. If these companies decided to pay worker's overseas what they pay worker's in the West it would completely crumble those economies. O so now we have 10% of the population making 10 times the average salary, well looks like you other 90% better get moving because you won't be able to afford groceries. Understanding economics is key.
Interesting I just seen a guy reading this book on the bus n decided to look it up, it's seems pretty popular in Toronto. Very important content tho I can tell.
I think someone needs to investigate Naomi's relationships with corporations.
Who prints her books? Who markets them? Who are these corporations exploiting in the third world, or in the first world? Are they unionized? Do they share profits with workers or are they evil Friedmanite capitalists out to make a profit?
I fear the worst. In fact, I'm quite sure that her books have killed many happy and healthy trees and caused birds to have to move elsewhere. It makes me cry.
where else can they work? have you ever been to third world country. €2.00 a week is better than sifting through dirt to find seeds to eat and walmart has more upward mobility.
Tell that to the poor workers in third world sweat shops working 13 hour days for $2.50 a week and living in shanty town shacks so you can enjoy the progress of bargain sale prices at Wal Mart. Try telling that to the union organizers who have been locked up or simply "disappeared" at the hands of repressive regimes who enjoy a complicit relationship with multinationals. Progress is a loaded and subjective term dude. Wake up and smell your own ignorance.
What matters is where the information goes. It arms the public. Opening peoples minds and making them conscious of the ways in which powerful and external influences are playing a role in their decisions. How advertising is taking aim at you personally and attempting to instill a monolithic consumer attitude that sedates and severs our awareness of the realities associated with said products and companies.
im sorry but she is completely wrong about corps and censorship. For example walmart can simply sell every single magazine or obsene album because customers are going to be offended. If you want porn or hardcore music go to a sleazy convience store. The government is the real worry when it comes to censorship, they are the ones who force albums to come with advisory stickers and are constantly trying to limit speech.
For starters the notions of freedom and choice are more than just the freedom to choose where you shop.
You're missing her point. What she is saying is that corporations are deliberately using PR, advertising and propaganda to shape our perceptions of the world.
You are right to point out that government censorship is cause for concern because government is also represents another form of oppressive hegemonic control.
For Tupperware parties, Tupper the creator fired Brownie Wise because of surproduction (the demands couldn't follow offers) Not just because of jubilees for the salers. He retired himself few years later and sold his affair.
The solution it's information for yourself, for the future generation, take on your life, logos are part of you? yes, do you thing everyday in logos?yes, liberate and search your own capacity to get info, think, decide and take some solution
The problem isn't the logo in itself. The question is why some enterprises have dissolved others. I don't belive in a one an unique doctrine : Capitalism. You have to remember the popular social class figth since the 60. Take the case of Tupperware : the creator and 1st boss was against what have done her associate with the T meetings : More production.
Nike is rebranding the city I live in as a "Nikecity" with the olympics and the construction of sports venues. To find the six videos I have posted here at Youtube about the problem use the Youtube search with keywords:nike university of oregon.
Rather than asking stupid questions here about "what does she buy?" or "where does she sell her book?", you should read the book. The point is to try to pressure corporations to act more responsibly. Not to stop stuff from being bought or sold.
"objective" my ass. she hates businessmen and corporations for being successful. hate the rich for being rich. she disregards ONE VITAL FACT. PEOPLE BUY AND PARTICIPATE VOLUNTARILY IN A FREE MARKET. out of their own free will.
She's merely making a well researched observation, that what they/you consider business as usual is destructive and morally wrong. HATE, to give you an example, is deeply rooted in your comments, not in hers.
pretty goood video and that book is really interesting.
and yeah, HammerSickles, who are you ? Naomi Klein doesn't have profit in mind, she wants us, normal people, to realize what's going on in here. like in her other book, the shock doctrine about capitalism. anyways, if she makes money, she still is interesting and dig deep about real things of our system.
what are you talking about? think things over a little. She's a journalist, she spent 4 years of her life writing this book, and shes just supposed to give it away for free? You obviously havent the slightest idea what she talks about in her book: she's making justified observations on a historical and social scale. Now not once does she criticize capitalism, but consumerism gone crazy.There is a huge difference, and maybe u shud inform yourself better before spewing imbecilic generalities.
Why does this clown use "private space" / "public space"? It's private PROPERTY, public PROPERTY. Marx advocates the abolishment of private property though... no wonder she decides to frame it differently... can't have property rights now can we..
she used the term "space" for a very good reason: its where people are encouraged to congregate, and it applies to both private and public property. but if u understood she wants to abolish private property, then you are very wrong.

Although you may not be a victim of the process yourself, it is true that corporations are molding and branding peoples viewpoints.
