Children, Consumerism, and the Common Good explores the impact of
consumer culture on the lives of children in the United States and
globally, focusing on two phenomena: advertising to children and
child labor. Christian communities have a critical role to play in
securing the well-being of children and challenging the cultural
trends that undermine that well-being. Themes in the tradition of
Catholic social teaching can move us beyond the tensions between
children's rights activists and those who propose a return to
"family values" and can inform practices of resistance,
participation, and transformation. Roche argues that children are
full, interdependent members of the communities of which they are a
part. They have a claim on the fruits of our common life and are
called to participate in that life according to their age and
ability. The principle of the common good forms the benchmark for
analyzing children's participation in the market and the ways in
which market logic shapes other institutions of civil society,
particularly educational institutions. The Cristo Rey Network of
schools is highlighted as an example of institutional
transformation which shapes children's participation in education
and the economic life of their families and communities in a spirit
of solidarity.
