The Outcome of Desire...

Really sorry for the late blogs.

Anyway, here's a brief summary of the chapters of 8, 9, 10, and the conclusion.

"Form Follows Value", "Form Follows Power", "Form Follows Waste" and "The Political Elements Of Style" by Stuart Ewen, talks about how advertising and people work together to create an image. Mainly it starts with a certain fashion when it then spreads to an idea of what life is supposed to be. Some feel like that the things they desire are the best to see and have. Things like skyscrapers are built because its modern and a better place to live. In the early 1900's, everyone wants what everyone else wants and then people faced the ultimate consequence when they feel that they lost all their money and faced depression. In the end, everything that was desired lay to waste and people have forgotten what was really important.

These chapters pretty much describes what people have gone through in the Great Depression and even now when all that matters now is being with the people you should be with the most. Everything else doesn't matter no matter what people think about materials because its simply a waste.
