articles

Hey everyone sorry it took so long to get this up!i hope that my notes helped since i took so long!

Ok so first i will talk about my feelings of the articles.

i liked both of the articles alot but to me THE MORE FACTOR interested me a lit more than BLUE JEANS.

i think i THE MORE FACTOR better because it seems more relative than the other, only because it talks about something that we can all relate to, by this i mean that living in the society in which we live in we all want "more", whatever that is to each of us might be different but we all want it. the notion of Frontier- was interesting,also when the article talked about the over all productivity growth in the country and how it has been declining over the years until it reached debt. i think that the idea and knowledge that frontier is no more than a nostalgia, our society will not and has not let the dream die.

BLUE JEANS was also a good article but to me it seems more like it focused on the history of jeans and how designer brands have afected the use of jeans and who wears what. there are a few things i liked about the article, how it said all ages, gender, classes, etc. wore jeans and it was one thing they had in common. Another thing i found interesting was when it talked about Poverty and how even thepoor wore jeans, jeans that were torn and faded jeans that made th poveryt vissabe. I think this was interesting because today many people look for vintage jeans or simply buy new jeans that look old.
