He found that 172 college students correctly answered, on average, 38% of the multiple-choice comprehension questions without even reading the test selections. Many colleges, notably in the Midwest...

Sociologist and cultural critic Todd Gitlin argues that the structure and content of television programs propagate materialist values and political complacency. Historian Stuart Ewen contends that American industry spreads a consumerist ideology through advertising to maintain the authority of the capitalist mode of production...
