Write a 750-900 word essay discussing a recent trend/event related to consumption in the US. This trend/event can be environmental, economic, or product-related. It can also be psychological (e.g. related to social media or advertising). Include your personal analysis of why this trend/event is happening, how it effects the consumer, and how it effects the greater community. You should also consider what this sort of consumption suggests about our relationship to the rest of the world. Make sure to substantiate your arguments and ideas with external information and citations.
You will peer-review one student essay as part of this assignment. Be prepared to present your essay later in the week. |
