Essay Seminar - consumer culture
In the first seminar of the year we had to read an essay called 'Culture/ Sub-culture, Consumer culture as a creative process' and analyse it to help with our essay. The essay was about how the industry has manipulated consumers into buying products using passive art. However there is sometimes consumer choice where people purchase things not aimed for them but make it their own.
Whilst studying the essay I googled some words in it that I did not understand. These words were acquisition (which I learnt means an asset or object bought or obtained) and psychographics (which is a study of people according to attitudes/aspirations). We also studied the structure of the essay and how our essays should have an introduction, main body (argument) and a conclusion (synthesis).
