Final Blog: Presentations

The Presentations had really resigned with not only my project but with my understanding as a whole. i really liked kevin's graph of all the car companies and the explanation that Lexus and Toyota are the Same Company and that the parts for the car cost the company the same; they just are advertised and priced for the consumer at an inflated rate in order to gain more profit. this concept really relates to the idea of a consumer culture as products are no longer based on their actual value of the materials or labor used but on a made-up and ambiguous price that reflects a persons value that THEY placed on the item.
