From the supplier: Critics of commercialism contend that commercialism has become a powerful destructive force that threatens cherished values, cultural priorities, social structure as well as the natural environment. Through advertising, critics explain, market values are infused into non-market activities that extend the reach of business enterprises into institutions including the family, school and religion. Politicians, on the other hand, deplore the process of commercializing culture as the cause of social breakdown.
