On the very short understanding of Star trek, after cursory search I found these links pertaining to the understanding of Star Trek and the rise of American imperialism since 1960s.

Hello Prof,
This is a definitely a great article. But I am also would like to add the fact that how the images on facebook tries to relate the understanding pertaining to conspicuous consumption patterns of the user. As an user of facebook we are kind of more interested to show the aspects of our consumption, like promoting the brands of mobile phone, or places we visit. The likes on the images is a kind of validation received virtually. So consumption is an expression of display. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If you comment and want to add a link you have to hand code the links using html formatting, which is hard to describe without including active code, but here goes:
the less than sign, letter a, space, the word href, the url in double talking marks, greater than sign, then your link word(s), finished by less than sign, forward slash, letter a, greater than sign.
Its complicated! Sorry. Blogspot should fix it.
