Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Is the concept of freedom overrated?: 22 of 27
Sartre said that "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you".

Business > Advertising Big brand advertising: The dangerous mind-virus: 2 of 2
The 1980s was the heyday for the big brand and of what advertising agencies call "market driven" policy. By this, they mean products that are produced as cheaply as possible, but where the value is added afterwards through heavy marketing. Examples of this are Nike and Gap, whose sweatshop clothes bear no significant qualita... More..
