時尚／LV；運動／Nike；電腦／IBM……，眼下我們生存的時代，品牌形象代表一切，連小學生也懂得要用名牌。要表現自己的專業、品味、社經地位，就要消費特定的產品，不管你是否真喜歡其品質。獲得消費者的品牌認同，就等於獲利的保證，於是新創的品牌虎視眈眈，欲取市場第一品牌之位而代之。至於沒有顯赫招牌的產品，往往價美物廉還是乏人問津。 知名品牌挾著雄厚的資本、強勢的行銷能力、全球運籌（global logistics）的經營觀念，令其產品席捲全世界。一種產品行銷全球，創造了後現代的國際風格，統一了世人的消費觀，卻斲傷了異文化的豐富性。全球性的公司聲稱要支持文化的多樣性，其實他們所謂的「多元文化主義」只是生產更多的產品，讓消費者有較多的購買選擇。 而在知名品牌風光行銷全球的背後，是許多不為人注意的勞工。他們其中的大多數人無法分享公司的鉅額利...(展开全部)

When David Shannon was only five years old, he wrote and illustrated a story in which an unruly little boy breaks all of his mother's rules -- he jumps on the beds; he chews with his mouth open; he plays ball in the house. Any child who is tired of hearing his parents say "No " will readily identify with this boldly illustrated, comical story.
