Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page discussion of the observation that commercial interests are permeating every aspect of our lives. Our public spaces, both physical and tangential, are increasingly subjected to commercial messages which are designed to change our perceptions and ultimately to render economic benefit on the commercial entity responsible for the commercial messages. The author emphasizes that seldom do these messages have any socially redeeming characteristics and suggest that if we could revamp the content of these messages we could move from a society which operates almost strictly on commercialism to one which operates at least partially on concern for the human condition.
