  • CORRUPTION of CONSUMERIST MATERIALISM
    • Economic globalisation has NOT IMPROVED PEOPLES' LIVES
      • This is because it PROMOTES an ETHIC of CONSUMERISM & MATERIAL SELF-INTEREST
    • This has created a LOSS of SOCIAL & CULTURAL DISTINCTIVENESS
      • This is because people buy from the SAME STORES & enjoy SIMILAR WORKING PRACTICES & LIVING CONDITIONS
    • 'BRAND CULTURE'
      • This pollutes PUBLIC & PERSONAL SPACES, creating a culture of UNTHINKING CONSUMERISM
        • This ABSORBS RADICAL CHALLENGES to its DOMINANCE by TURNING them into CONSUMER PRODUCTS
      • This is because people buy from the SAME STORES & enjoy SIMILAR WORKING PRACTICES & LIVING CONDITIONS
