My List

While I do like the list we came up with in class today, there are a few things I would like to change or add. Here's my personal list.

1. Bill Gates

2. Hollywood (Celebrities, etc)

3. McDonalds

4. Walmart

5. Route 66

6. The iPad

7. Constitution/Declaration of Independence

8. Subdivisions

9. The Packers

10.Roller coasters

11. Blue Jeans

12. Reality TV

Some themes I see running through it are entrepreneurship, consumerism and the glorification of the middle class.  All of these are involved in the idea that in America, we are free to create success for ourselves in order to participate in the culture of consumption we have built. All of these objects evolve around and stem from this idea.
