@inihelene I was unaware that this was a GLOBAL issue. Another tweet said that law enforcement had to break up physical altercations in a grocery store over who gets the last few bottles of chocolate milk on the shelf. #globalstudies150

I found this website to be extremely helpful to better my understanding of cultural capitalism! It also provided video links that showcase its relevance in ways I never would have considered like cosmetics. #globalstudies150

The article ‘Things Banned From Schools’ made me wonder what else has been banned since I have been out of grade school. I was very happy to discover that ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has been removed from school curriculum in Washington. #globalstudies150

I think its interesting that luxury handbags are so expensive but their price isn’t necessarily related to the actual quality and durability of the bag. #globalstudies150

‘A Handbags Tale’ explains why people care so much about handbags and purses. I still don’t think I’ll ever be able to think of my purse as something that “offers freedom and yoke”. Do you think luxury hand bags will always be relevant? #globalstudies150

The article ‘Things Banned From Schools’ was very interesting to me because I personally remember tag, dodgeball, and bottle flipping being banned at the schools I went to. Did you disagree with any of the items that were banned in the article? Why? #globalstudies150

I was surprised after reading Undrowned that the author didn’t talk as much as I thought she would about pollution and its effects on marine life. Why do you think this is? #globalstudies150

@r05_sarah I had a hard time with the objectified section when analyzing my object. I did a lot of research and got a better understanding but felt so confused at first when trying to explain how my object is objectified even tho its literally an object. #globalstudies150

@ahyang22 I love seeing the diversity between everyones objects! I think there are two types of Apple Watch owners:
1: routinely wear it every single day
2:wore it for a month- now its out of battery somewhere in a drawer #globalstudies150

@paulaaasas It took me so long to figure out what I wanted to pick as my object and now that I feel like I found the perfect one, I’m actually somewhat excited! #globalstudies150

@evan_lc22 I think the intentions behind homework are positive but have underlying negative effects. It teaches time management at a young age but adds such an unnecessary amount of stress on students as they are already spending 6- 7 hours, 5 days a week at school #globalstudies150

@t_beamlak H&M is worth roughly 18.82 billion dollars and has so many consumers that their refusal to do interviews doesn’t effect whether they continue to make money or not. Avoiding interviews also allows them to avoid addressing their harmful effects on the environment #globalstudies150

Undrowned inspired me to further research the treatment of animals in zoos, which just confirmed that their methods are cruel and extremely unethical. As an ‘advancing society’ what steps towards change are we taking in this domain? #globalstudies150

Happy Black History Month! This years theme is health and wellness, ‘timely as we enter year 3 of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it disproportionately affected minority communities and placed unique burdens on Black health care professionals.’ #globalstudies150

The most unsustainable + unethical popular clothing companies include Zara, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, H&M, and SHEIN. As consumers, what steps could we take to shop sustainably?

Fashion industry is dominated by fast-fashion and its demand is increasing. Polyester is the major material being used to produce this clothing (non-biodegradable fibre, produced from petrochemicals). Learn to love thrifting #fastfashion #globalstudies150
