reading this paper makes me think society's (British at least) emphasis on consumer culture has serious flaws. however, it seems the government is more to blame through using this ideology to avoid paying for education. it may be a nice way of saving money (from the government's perspective) but the dumbing-down of universities and consequentially the higher of degree owning citizens serves to vindicate the real problem, the pre-university education system in the UK.
