Peter DeBenedittis, Ph.D.

"I see a culture formed around humanity's hearts and desires, not manufactured by commercial greed. I see media and entertainment that expresses, enriches, and enhances, rather than teaches compulsive debt, substance abuse, violence and risky behavior because there is profit in it. I see a world where everyday people have the power to shape their culture because they have access to the information and communication venues upon which democracy depends."
