Commercialization Quotes

• Combining the experience of a seasoned university president with the analysis of a respected legal scholar, Derek Bok explores what he concludes are 'signs of excessive commercialization in every part of the university.' His somber assessment of the current state of athletics, scientific research, and distance education, and his call for review and restraint, should engage the attention of every faculty senate in the country. He has given us a timely, candid, courageous, and important book.

• En nuestra sociedad moderna, la imagen y el proceso mítico han sido tomados por corporaciones que controlan directamente la publicidad e, indirectamente, la industria del entretenimiento. Las poderosas imágenes eróticas se utilizan con el único fin de vender productos de consumo; los efectos secundarios de esta comercialización tienen un profundo impacto en la imaginación sexual y la identidad de un gran número de personas.

• All the utopianism of the early days of the Internet seems to have dissipated. But I don't want us to lose that utopianism altogether, even if it was naïve and ill-informed and sometimes silly. Rather I want us to ask about the obstacles that are preventing the good stuff from coming to fruition. Let's investigate and think about creating something worthwhile instead of assuming that there is an inevitable track of increased centralization, consolidation, and commercialization that we can't do anything about.

• Al principio quise abrazar la imaginería y la franqueza de la música rap. Hay voces interesantes y dinámicas en el rap. Pero la mayor parte me parece irresponsable por su violencia manifiesta y su comercialización de la ira. Como artistas, creemos que podemos actuar a través del lenguaje. Si es así, debemos responsabilizarnos de lo que decimos.

• Any type of commercialization or, like I said, watering that idea down would be so damaging and frankly, be pretty uninspiring to me, because the fact that every piece is like my dream thing that I just can't get enough of and am just so excited to wear, is just the whole point of it.

• Key feature of sexual revolution is the large-scale publication and commercialization of details that were once secret. Sexuality has been trivialized. The interesting thing about this is that exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.
