8. I thought this was amusing to see a huge clearance on weight loss items that are towards the back of the store. You have to walk through the impulse items to get to the fitness aisle. This implies that if you want to loose weight, it can be simple. You don’t have to pay for an expensive membership to a gym just to loose weight, you can buy the equipment for less at Wal-Mart.

13. Quotes From The Texts “Subjects have agency- the ability to respond to their historical contexts and, with any luck at all, change them in the process.” “Wal-Mart wields its power for just one purpose: to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers.” “For the semiotician, the contradictory nature of the American myth of equality is nowhere written so clearly as in the signs that American advertisers use to manipulate us into buying their wares.” “Our job, it emerges in fragments throughout the day, is to keep ladies’ wear ‘shoppable’.”
