* Advertising and the End of the World. Not mentioned in the articles, however, this video, produced by Sut Jhally, brilliantly analyzes advertising's deep cultural messages, and the dire ecological effects of a society organized around production of commodities for profit. It feels too much like an illustrated lecture to interest most students, but it could be effective for teacher background or teacher education.
