Hi,
Here is a sentence in which I think a comma is left. Besides, I didn't get the second part.
Still, an increasing number of westerners feel some need to protect people in the developing world from becoming shallow consumerists, obsessed by brands, fascinated by American culture, mesmerised by television. In doing so, however, they are attempting to deny the vast majority of humanity the opportunities and material progress that will eventually allow them the time, as we have, to cultivate a guilty conscience.
Regards,
Nesa

nesa I can't find "the opportunities and material progress" part of speech!Not 'part of speech', but it is the compound object of the verb 'deny':
