So today I started thinking about the Final paper for this class and have decided that I want to write about the second topic involving Giles Slade's book, Made To Break. In general I thought that book was a better read than Postman and my decision was made solely on the basis that if forced to choose, I'd rather read Made To Break again.
After analyzing the topic question a little more, I really got to thinking about the underlying hypocrisy that has potential to exist in a society that disposes such a high amount of usable goods while at the same time claims to be environmentally conscious. I hope to find out some really interesting facts about this once I start delving a little more into the topic.
While tackling the project, I want to focus on a few key points. Oddly enough, I'm not exactly sure what they are yet. I know I'd like to discuss the technology movement and the 'green' movement independent of each other first. I always believe that its important to provide descriptions of two things you are comparing before you actually compare them, especially in a research paper. This way it doesn't leave the reader in the dark when you start making arguments. I havn't really started research for this paper yet, but I plan to the middle of this weekend. I'll post back with another update then.
