I am so glad that i have this blog and the cluster forum to express freely my feelings and freedom of speech. Describe the argument that a consumer society leads to a throwaway society, is the title essay that forms part of TMA03, and after reading chapter 6 of 'making lives', which is creating sources of information that form the argument of, 'pro supermarket power' and 'anti super market power'. I really am struggling to remain objective while listening to the arguments of the 'pro supermarket' lobbies' and campaigners.. Hopefully, being able to vent my non objective opinion on these forums, will  allow me to write an object essay thats coming from the wise mind and not the emotional mind. If anything, chapter six of making lives has strengthened my belief that capitalism is the spawn of all that is not right in society today, and has been ever since the profit over people profiteers darkened this beautiful planet with their existence. I am not going to lecture about the con's of 'supermarket power' or the pro;s of 'anti supermarket power'. Appalled by colonialism, appalled by capitalism, and further more, appalled by those who justify the suffering of living beings for financial gain, to be honest, the fact that there is even an argument actually blows my mind. Ashamed to be a part of a society that allows this to happen, i would rather be isolated by my beliefs than go against them in order to fit in with people who support this behaviour, i am not any where close when i say, 'it makes my skin crawl'.
