place

Place is a reference to a position to space and time. A relationship in conjunctiuon to surroundings. A relationship of object to object to human being. Capitalism is an arena of human beings in relation to objects ,attempting to survive and transcend their surroundings. I talk about capitalism because we live in an age that is passed that of the hunter and gatherer. i almost typed 'hunger and gatherer'. Our space in the west has reached a point that we can't solely provide for ourselves off the land in urban areas. We depend upon a system of supply and demand. Capitalism provides ........a place to consume. A place that invests on gluttony. A place that expects that the goods created and developed are a variable to supplant the existing conditions of a 'slave'. " 2. a person who is strongly influened by or controlled by something"-Oxford English Dictionary. We, in the west. are in a positon of educated choices. We have alternatives of luxury. Some within our system do not have these choices because of economic pressures and responsibilities. As a commiunity we should look after each other. Communities through time have survived because of the different roles individuals have played in the survival of the community on a whole. Capitalism doesn't need communities; just one dollar at a time. In our definitions of individuality, we cling to the limited choice of a system to represent a projected self. A system of walking signifiers of self. " [The] brand identity and personality should either represent its target consumers - their values, lifestyles, and sensibilities- or what they would like these factors to be."- Mythmaking on madison avenue- s.randazzo
