Assessment For each activity reflect on the first 4 points, before addressing point 5 in a combined way: 1) What key points were raised by the group? 2) How did the discussions conclude? 3) Did you feel the discussions were a good space for exploring the ideas presented in the papers? 4) Did you feel there was anything lacking from the discussions, how could they have been improved or taken even further? 5) Provide some comment on how the two articles worked together. Activity 1 Explore Graebers (2011) argument that a focus on consumption puts the onus of everything we do outside of work, as simply of the nature of using things up which downplays the importance of our social relations. Do you agree with him on this? Discuss and reflect on the discussion. Graeber, D. (2011): Consumption. Current Anthropology, 52 (4). Pp. 489-511 https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/53226/1/Graeber_consumption.pdf Activity 2 So why are, the large middle classes consuming too much? Critically discuss the arguments presented by Schor (2001) in the discussion board space provided using the historical background and further reading from last week to support your understanding. Then reflect on this discussion and your response to this question in the second part of your critical reflection. Schor, J. B. (2001): Why do we consume so much? Clemens Lecture Series 13.
