I have chosen to write about “It’s Consumer Spending Stupid” by James Livingston because it provides enough details to agree or disagree and to construct a strong response. In Livingstons essay, he argues that if Americans continue to spend, the economy will become stronger. On the other hand, in “Thrift: The Rebirth of a Forgotten Virtue” by Daniel Akst, the author argues otherwise. Thus, using these two essays will fulfil the requirements and will create a strong synthesis. If I incorporate…

influencing intergroup relations and perceptions of different groups of people. According to Collins, the “images and discourse used throughout media outlets provide a framework with which its consumers may construct representation of the world in which they live” (2016). In this way, books can influence consumers’ perception of the world they live in, in part by affecting how they view people from marginalized groups with which they may not otherwise be able to identify. Additionally, by…
Lizabeth Cohen’s book A consumers’ Republic part II concentrates on some of the social consequences of the 1950s. The main points of discussion centered on the GI Bill and those who did or did not benefit from this Act.

Cohen proves that the working-class, women, and black veterans were left thinking upon…
