Farrell believes that not all shopping is a “utilitarian act” (381). He also believes that sometimes we merely shop for the joy we find while doing it. He explains how when consumers go on these “pleasure” (381) trips to the mall , they can find themselves in an explorative mode where the mall is the one helping them think about what it is they have in mind to purchase. According to Farrell, this is exactly how the malls want you to shop. They want this because it lets them define your sense of culture and courses you to make purchases based on such.

Seeing as they were writing so close together it’s no surprise they are similar in so many ways. When Ginsberg wrote “A Supermarket in California” there was a change in the times. Grocery stores like supermarkets started sprouting up and businesses were prospering (Semesky, par. 2) He resented everything that had to do with commercialism. John Updike on the other hand had another motive in mind when he wrote “A&P”.
In creating a campaign to reach a companies target market, the factors that the company usually discusses to reach people are the type of commercials that will be shown, what channel the commercials will be shown on, what areas advertisements will be placed, what magazines advertisements will be placed in, and what public figures will be placed in these advertisements. In creating their target markets do some of these companies purposely market in a certain manner to make sure their clothes will look less attractive to certain races?

Catholicism: Its Meaning, Identity and Culture Fr.M.Peter Amaladoss, Arul Anandar College, Karumathur. Catholics are often seen to be just a little odd. They worship saints and statues; they have pictures of saints in the stained-glass windows of their often garish churches; they wear medals and carry rosaries that are superstitious charms; they obey a foreigner in Rome; they don’t think for themselves but do what their bishops and priests tell them to; they are clannish; they are morally lax, given to drinking and dancing; they think theirs is the only true church; there is so much superstition mixed into their beliefs and practices that sometimes they seem barely Christian, and so on and so forth. In the midst of such thoughts and opinions, there arise certain questions, and the following are some with which this essay deals: Why have this large international institution, the Catholic Church, in the first place? Why have popes and cardinals and Jesuits and Dominicans and Franciscans?
COMPARING ESSAYS OF NANCY GIBB The Robert B. Miller College English 310: Advanced Composition And Textual Analysis Lisa Livingston October 23, 2012 Too much of a good thing is not always a good thing; however, good things can come to those who wait. Nancy Gibbs authored two essays entitled, “Merry Hallowmas,” and “Queen of the Aisles.” In the essay “Merry Hallowmas,” Gibbs points out that society is becoming desensitized with the whole reason for holidays, in part due to the over commercialization of holidays themselves. With “Queen of the Aisles,” the whole concept of good things coming to those who wait means just that. The two essays contrast in the following ways; one speaks on holiday hustle and bustle, while the other essay points out the importance of slow and steady to achieve the outcome you desire. Holidays are being thrust upon society at a rapid rate.
Consumption The brooch reached its audience in a more personal way than the mass-produced objects that were channelled through department stores and commercials on TV. The desire for a more humanistic relation to consuming was fulfilled through meeting the maker of the object in his or her small independent shop, away from the crassness of the shopping centres. Maraberth Schon also states that the museums helped the growth of the modernist jewellery scene through bringing together the jeweller as an artist and the artist as a jeweller through exhibitions, which encouraged the making of unconventional jewellery that people wouldn’t normally wear. There were several exhibitions held in the mid and late 1940’s, which were seminal ”having a lasting effect on the modern jewellery movement and its artisans.” 14 Furthermore, the studio jewellery at the time was relatively cheap and available to a much wider audience than it is today. The consumers would buy it as an accessory that was bohemian and arty, in the same way that we buy vintage or second hand today to make a similar statement.
