@paulaaasas I agree! I need to integrate peer reviews in future assignments because I can tell it's strengthening my AB a lot. #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

I didn't realize how different everyone's ABs would look. The class has criteria that is so different from past class criteria and it's really refreshing to see #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

The peer reviews I've received definitely helped strengthen my AB. It's kind of hard to see your own work objectively so I really appreciate the feedback :) #globalstudies150

@EdwardZ002 I would say technology can be a part of clutter. For me, clutter means an abundance of unnecessary things that constantly get in the way. Constant electronic upgrades (like yearly) are clutter but upgrading from an iPhone 5 to iPhone X is reasonable. #globalstudies150

One thing to keep in mind: Putin =/= Russians. Most Russians don't want the war he is instigating. #globalstudies150

Ukraine is going through hell right now, and so are other countries and ethnic groups. This is a sick world. #globalstudies150

How much do you think sentimentality affects the amount of stuff people have in their homes? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Seeing the inside of a cluttered home made me realize how cluttered my home is. #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

I feel like the minimalist aesthetic is becoming more popular because people are aware there is so much clutter in their homes. #globalstudies150

It seems like capitalism is a way for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. And yet its early signs of formation were by the middle class? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Based on the readings and viewings, do you consider capitalism and communism to be opposites/antonyms? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

@Ro_MercedesA I agree with both of the responses to this thread. If we need to buy clothing, we need to buy ones we know we'll keep for a long time (which usually makes them more expensive). Thrifting is also a sustainable way to fill your closet. #globalstudies150

"The True Cost" mentions the education of Richard Wolff, a man who says the fashion industry is corrupt. He graduated from Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, which, because of the institutionalized state of cultural capital, makes his opinions/judgments highly valued.#globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

In the film "The True Cost" we hear that large fashion companies like H&M refused to do interviews…what does that say about them? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

In "The True Cost", a woman with traditional Indian dress (and I’m assuming is actually Indian because she had the physical characteristics of an Indian) had a British accent. Does this relate to a course concept? Pluralism? Cultural capital? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Are scholarly sources better or more credible than substantive sources? I think I prefer substantive sources because I can read/understand them better. #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Do you think it's possible to have different amounts of cultural capital in different cultures? My first language is English which helps a lot here but doesn't help me in rural areas of countries that speak a different language. #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Tell me why I didn't understand what cultural capital was until I read other people's slides on it. Things would be so much easier if everything was written in plain English. #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Does something have to fit into all five scapes to be considered globalized? Or does it only need to fit into one or two or three? #globalstudies150

[Beamlak T @t_beamlak]

Me stressing because I can't tell if a movie is an object-related topic:
