Mr. Jhally is NOT talking about censorship as the last commenter suggests. He favors developing critical thinking skills about media. There is absolutely no doubt that advertising, and media in general, tries to get past our critical radar to sell us stuff. The people at MEF are working to get us to recognize the ways ideas are sold to us. This is not about "stupid Americans." This is about training ourselves to make wise choices.

He never said advertising was the only reason we have low values. And values aren't just our judgement of "what's right and wrong", those are morals. You don't have to be a "stupid yokel" to be affected by advertising, he's talking about how it saturates our world, and how now that we have started to become cynical towards advertising, advertisers are making it more and more intrusive and emotionally appealing so that we can't ignore it.

This guy really exaggerates. Everyone with sense knows that our lifestyle are in conflict with nature, and we all know that change is a must. But then he jumps to advertisement. Cooperate advertisement is not the reason why many people have low values. If he was right then all Americans are just stupid yokels who don't know right from wrong, and thats how he probably sees us Americans. It is up the the INDIVIDUAL to recognize proper values. We don't need anyone favoring de factor censorship.

our governments dont hav long term vision so i am not surprised about advertisers. they r ALL part of the problem. wat we shuld really do is outsource our governments to india and china - they wuld do a betta job.
