REACTION PAPER #2

Instructions:

For this Reaction Paper you need to write a 1500-word paper (about five and a half, double-spaced pages minimum) that answers the following questions:

 

• In what ways are the readings and videos on consumerism presented in the second half of our class related to the theories discussed in the first half of ourcourse? 

 

• How, if at all, are these ideas related to or influenced your thinking about your personal stance toward consumption?

 

• Describe how your own family wealth, or lack of it, have influenced your educational experiences.

 

• How is your personal story related to the readings presented in our class (in terms of racial positioning, wealth, discrimination, etc.)? 

 

The best papers will critically engage the relevant ideas presented on this topic. While relating to these questions on a personal level is encouraged, I also want to see you weave in a discussion of the readings that reflects your close reading of the assigned material and thoughtful reflection of the ideas presented in class.
