Dawe uses television jargon to further elaborate how consumerism has dehumanised humanly values. “Right between the Carol Burnett and the David Nixon show they fell in love.” Through the use of television and consumer jargon along with the satirical nature of the poem, we understand how consumers have been impacted through the media. Through the poem Dawe allows us to see how the predominance of the media has impacted the values in relationships. “But the course of true etcetera, Etcetera.” Through Dawe’s use of the word “Etcetera” he shows us how love is no longer relevant in between relationships. Therefore, the media dehumanises the quality of humanly values and relationships.
It is surprising that the future is depicted this way by Huxley because it seems like more of a degeneration of mankind rather than an advancement. The drug soma is used excessively to take away any amount of discomfort or anger experienced by anyone in the New World. They use soma as a way to prevent the people from becoming curious and acting according to human nature. Serious emotion like pain is suppressed to avert them from following their natural inclinations to seek refuge in others. Personal relations and bonding have been replaced by this artificial drug.
“The preference upon the part of the refugee for plural leadership and decision” and “the resentment which succeeds the intrusion of strangers in relief leadership.” showed that people preferred to care for each other on their own instead then being instructed to do so, when they are left by themselves to do so. There always seems to be a sprinkling of the risk for belittling, or patronizing, for what makes them different. It removes the feeling of being civilized while caring for others that makes us act that way. “EMMA,” Emergency Managers Mutual Aid, born the fact that such services needed to be coordinated. Prince believed that the writings of a self-proclaimed “revolutionist” demonstrates that its the much more main- stream philosophy of a different era.
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.
Interestingly enough, ethical values the AMA sets forth is dealing more with stake holders rather than clients or customers the marketer serves. Based on these core values, specifically honesty, responsibility, fairness and transparency, General Mills, does not measure up, especially where consumers are concerned. General Mills is has been known to blur the line on honesty and market the products as being healthier for the consumer that what they really are.

Another thing that makes assimilation bad is the fact that people use it so much that they don’t see that it could be a danger in the future. Many people lose their history, traditional inhabits, and national culture, national spirit and therefore small nations can disappear. People don’t realize that assimilation not only hurts them but it affects the future generations and nations that could vanish if everyone decides to change their customs. One of the beautiful things of this world is how diverse and different everyone is. If we were to live in a world where everyone was the same it would be boring and dull.
In today’s society, everyone has their inalienable right to express themselves and be who they are. These rights, which allow us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, can never be taken away from us. However, people do not utilize these natural rights and often try to suppress their spirit in order to “fit in” with societies standards. This hedonistic culture conditions people to believe that showing your true emotions or opinions is “not cool.” People want to associate only with their “cliques,” such as the Alphas or Jocks. Often times, people become depressed and rely on anti-depressants to keep them sane, when all they have to do is be true to themselves and express themselves in a healthy way.
The Reality of a World Dictated by Technology People have become overly dependent on technology. Even though technological advancements make everyday tasks much simpler, technology should be used in ration. There are many other options to complete a task or communicate, but many people today find those ways too “stupid” because they rely heavily on technology. Although technology make life easier, people should not depend on it because it promotes laziness, places barriers between people, decreases language and communication skills, and destroys other types of media. With all the technology found in common households, people can do just about anything from their home.
