NO LOGO: Brands, Globalization and Resistance
Naomi Klein, acclaimed journalist and author, examines the rise of
international branding and the grassroots anti-corporate campaigns
it has inspired. She asks viewers to consider the costs of
globalization, including the disappearance of public space, consumer
choice, and stable, meaningful work. Analyzing how brands like
Nike, The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols
worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby
corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products
(outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in
creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.

IN YOUR EAR: The Job Interview
With so much at stake in today's job market, an interview has to be handled just right. This ABC News program follows Peggy
Klaus, a career and communications coach, as she takes an anxious job-seeker under her wing. In a heady prep session, Peggy
and her client discuss the importance of eye contact, confident body language, confident tone, and good grammar and
vocabulary. But Peggy takes her mentoring a step further: during the interview, she feeds instructions via a remote
transmitter to the applicant, who wears a tiny earphone receiver. Peggy's strategy focuses on dispelling naive expectations
and forcing the potential employee to proactively "drive the interview". #12658/0635 11 minutes 2008 Fil $69.95
