Higher education marketing – does inducing anxiety facilitate critical thinking or more consumerism?

Abstract: Consumerism acts to maintain the emotional reversal of work and family. Exposed to a continual bombardment of advertisements through a daily average of three hours of television (half of all their leisure time), workers are persuaded to ‘need’ more things. To buy what they now need, they need money. To earn money, they work longer hours. Being away from home so many hours, they make up for their absence at home with gifts that cost money. They materialize love. And so the cycle continues [Baumann, Z. (2007). Collateral casualties of consumerism. Journal of Consumer Culture, 7, 1].
