Final Paper Blog Two
Since I have last posted, I have cut much of how i was approaching this paper out. I have decided to look closely how American capitalism and the three main versions of obsolesence that interact with American culture will keep Americans on their path of disposability. What inevitably will happen though is a hard divorce between Americans and their obsolesence it seems. When taking into context events like that United Nations Basel Convention and the taxing upon the environment already from E-waste Americans will have no choice but accept, not embrace the green movement. I feel that is how the green movement will be ushered in. Not through the motivation to save the environment, but through the compulsion to save ourselves as E-waste and other pollutants start to consume our planet at a more alarming level where it can be felt more readily. American business will realize that to stay alive they will need to evolve as their cost effectiveness upon building products with life spans will not work anymore. Their longevity will come from making products that last, that can be recycled easily, and that do not tax the environment and the people themselves. I find it that my thesis will revolve around this point of action as I am in the revision portion of my paper right now. The paper has shed new light upon my own spending habits and have come realize that technological literacy is a very important subject that all need to know.
