...Throughout most of history, art was seen as a luxury that only few people were privileged or wealthy enough to enjoy and experience. Whether it was during the Renaissance or civil rights campaign, many people were not able to attend the latest art shows or musical offerings because they had no place in such a revered luxurious setting with people of far higher social status (Dearborn Academy).

As society has progressed over the years, art slowly has become more and more accessible to the people- as it should be.

ABSTRACT The growing disillusionment and scepticism of brands is now a fact in society but where does it stem from and where does it leave brands? This journey started when I read Klein’s (1999) ‘No Logo’ but wanted to explore further why the anti-capitilist protests and movements were happening, what was it inside of society that had influenced this rejection of brands? Written in 1999, Klein’s No Logo comments primarily on the brand’s growth and their methods that have led them to the powerful influence in society they have today. I wanted to shift the perspective to the consumer and focus on the significant cultural changes they have been subject to due to brands. Since the publishing of Klein’s book in...

...MKT 533 Branding Strategy Cases Dr. Diane Badame Fall 2015 The price of this reader reflects a 20% discount on production costs, due to the early submittal of material by the instructor. Dear Student: Reproduction of copyrighted material, without prior permission of the copyright owner, particularly in an educational setting, is an issue of concern for the academic community. Unfortunately, the impropriety of much unauthorized copying is all too often overlooked by users in an educational setting. Although copying all or part of a work without obtaining permission may appear to be an easy and convenient solution to an immediate problem, such unauthorized copying can frequently violate the rights of the author or publisher of the copyrighted work, and be directly contrary to the academic mission to teach respect for ideas and the intellectual property that expresses those ideas. With that in mind, the University Bookstore has sought permission and paid royalties for all materials enclosed. The price of your reader reflects those necessary costs. This material comes from "Questions and Answers on Copyright for the Campus Community," Copyright 1993 by National Association of College Stores, Inc. and the Association of American Publishers.
