The Effects Of Mass Consumption On American Society, Jon Foster May 2012

The Effects Of Mass Consumption On American Society, Jon Foster

Jon Foster

For a generation that doesn’t relate to the ‘eighties’, fondly remembers the ‘nineties’, and came of age in the two thousands, we often think of the sixties with a bit of nostalgia; reminiscing about Woodstock, and hippies, the nuclear family or maybe the Beatles. Unfortunately, much of this understanding is isolated within a bubble; wherein the sincere socioeconomic issues of the time, often become detached from their idealistic counterpart.

In the spring of 2012, a Collection Day was held at Sonderborg Castle in Denmark. It is a democratisation of Denmark's cultural …

Janie Tremblay

The European Film Gateway 1914 (EFG1914) plans to digitise films about World War 1 that have never been seen outside a cinema or on television.

The two-year project is a collaboration with partners in France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Adapted from the source document.
