Piercy has taken what is a pressing issue…

So, the next time you go to the store you beg your mom to get you the coolest new toy and the next thing you know you are a part of the mallcondo culture. The pressure from advertisers is just one reason to buy. In his essay “All Consuming Patriotism” Frazier explores the ideas of consumers buying because they feel as though it is being…
