In “Great to Watch,” Maggie Nelson talks about the ways in which violence has become a norm in everyday culture and the process through which people’s “blameless ignorance” leads them to ignore the ramifications of violence (Nelson, 300).

In “The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism,” Jonathan Lethem discusses the gift and market economies and how they overlap in their primary purpose. Nelson’s view of people accepting violence…
