MDSA01H3 Lecture Notes - Muckraker, Nora Ephron, Profit Motive
Document Summary
Lecture and readings and textbook are testable, chapters 1-6. Re: textbook material- look for bold terms, important to know them; Blackboard discussions are good for exam review- prof puts stuff that might come on exam there. Midterm study guide posted on blackboard as well. Frame the things in the questions of the media lab in the context of your argument (ex. Logic of safety don"t only say that it happens, talk about why it is important) People buy something for the values it has: values are essentially economic if you look deeper ignores the work of the people who are working hard to produce the products, are becoming alienated, etc. Futuristic nostalgic ad for levis: formal is on the way out according to this ad, avoiding a below the year wardrobe , be futuristic with style to be nostalgic about it.
