  • Begin by describing the cause(s) and effect(s) you found in the paragraph(s) you chose. (2+ sentences)
    1. Cause:  Oral history (or narrative) has been almost totally replaced by mass media broadcast.
    2. Effect:  Therefore, broadcast communication has become such a fixture in the realms of economic decisions, political outcomes, and moral reasoning.
  • Connect those cause(s) and effect(s) to consumerism.  How does it affect/relate to consumerism? (2+ sentences)
    1. The desire/need for broadcast communication is so great that, even when the US was facing the height of its last temporary economic decline, the money spent on TV advertising was over $50 billion dollars.  Broadcast communication has become one of the biggest forces in the consumerist society, as is shown through the amount of money spent on TV advertising targeting consumers.
  • Reflect on how the cause(s) and effect(s) of consumerism affect you. (2+ sentences)
    1. The constant stream of advertising, whether on TV or on the computer, continually puts new, "improved" products on my radar, trying to convince me that the product that I have is somehow faulty or dated.  Also, ads can be personalized based on my search history, so that also tempts me to buy things.
