Consumer Culture/Materialism--Lecture by Professor Hollie Martin (2014)
You enter the dizzying space called the shopping center. ย You gather as many goods as your budget (if you keep one) will allow (making a list, checking it twice). ย You (considering yourself nice rather than naughty) celebrate your excursion and delight in your new, shiny stuff. ย What is wrong with this picture? ย Professor Hollie Martin (Glendale College English Department) takes a look at how our stuff may be - 1/2

Today's #Covid19Cymru headlines:
