Homework 25/09/2012




This cartoon of STANTS (I found it on internet) shows a scene where a white dressed man has given an iphone to a kid with an american flag printed in his t-shirt .The kid takes the iphone and he throw it to a mountain of electronic devices meanwhile he says:"Ok,I´m bored what´s next?!!!".
This cartoon is an explicit critic to the american consumerism ,the mountain of devices ,where we can found TV´s,consoles and pc´s,a lot of it,all rejected by the kid(america)because there are another new product.This phenomene is the consequence of the fast developpement and the competitiveness of the international electronical enterprises those who make to a very rapid pace devices that make the previous one obsolete,and the anxious user buys a device behind other one not to remain obsolete,and the machine continues turning.
The name of the cartoon,"iAmerica" is a critic,in my opinion,of the base of the American economy ,the eyes opened as plates is an allusion to the frantic pace of consumerism of the american user,who only wants more and more with no stop what manages to be ridiculous like the importance that gives to it the society ,where the mode of the iphone or ipods it can have relevancy on your social reputation .
Personnaly I don´t understand the way of thinking of the persons that only thinks of buying the near device of apple or windows,since it is a real "way of life",an entire culture has appeared who only turns around this,its a none sense,a culture can´t be based on the purchase of different products meanwhile you can be reading or thinking on general,but that is the consumerism,his target is that situation ,and,sadly it is very expanded on the modern youth.

Our generation and the nexts have to fight this culture that destroys the consciences and the point of view of so many young persons and adults.

  2. This commentary is highly personal and infinitely better than the poor oral presentation given in class. What a pity!
    You will have to correct the many mistakes though.
    Besides, your blog is still in Spanish while it should have been in English from the very start. What's more, one post is missing (Post 2: the MADtv iRack video) Fix that up ASAP, please...
