Ways of Seeing - Part 1 and Chapter 7 - respond by Wednesday Feb. 6th
In the comments section, respond with your thoughts on the following questions which relate to Chapter 7 in Ways of Seeing:
1) In what ways does the author mean that publicity images refer to the past and the future, but never to the present?
2) What does the author mean by the "total [publicity] system"? What would your world look like with NO ads in it?
3) Do you agree or disagree that advertising is representative of a Free Market system, in that the consumer is able to see ads, make an informed decision about which products they want to buy, and go buy them? Does publicity offer free choice in its purest sense?
