So when choosing which question i wanted to take on I was torn at first but ultimately decided on the second question regarding America's battle in "going green." I chose this question because frankly I enjoyed Slade's "Made to Break" more than Postman's "Technopoly" and mainly because i feel it tackles an issue that is becoming more and more real, serious and is overall more relevant. Americans have been consuming goods for years . Goods that were manipulated and strategically made to create more consumption. I plan to engage with the culture of American consumption, mass production and the techniques used to sell us these products over and over again. What long term affects will this create? Is the effort for an eco-friendly green society completely futile? Moreover, to refresh my memory on Slade's main arguments and themes I went back to my old blogs as well as reading some of my fellow classmates' just to get a broader perspective on the topic. I plan on really delving into the book and looking for arguments I find significant enough to use in my own.
