When studying the technique of culture Jamming, two key issues resonated with my personal values and beliefs strongly. The issue of labour exploitation and environmental sustainability. Major brands such as Nike and American Eagle Outfitters have taken advantage of globalisation, exploiting third world countries to produce their products. Both brands have been caught in labour scandals, damaging their reputations. However, the method behind culture jamming has really made me realise how we as consumers are continually influenced every day to consume more and more. The strategy behind advertising is very powerful, because even though I know about this exploitation, I still have purchased items from both companies. In relation to environmental sustainability, I have research recent oil spills and chemical disasters that have had a detrimental effect on the environment and human health. Unknowingly many oil spills go unnoticed as the westernised world is so unattached to such issues, as well as major hazards since they occur in third world countries. Companies like Mobil, Shell and Dow Chemical have impacted the world in a negative way, yet have taken no blame for any wrongdoing. These issues are what have inspired my own personal reflection and have been replicated in my own culture jams I have created.
