For today’s meeting, we had the discussion for the book of Selling the Fountain of Youth. This book was definitely so interesting because it discussed how in our society people are obsessed with looking young. The book had parts that were really eye opening such as how much money people spend of all these face creams and pills to stay young. The group that presented did a great job on touching on the key points. In my opinion, it is crazy how all these anti-aging companies push this idea that the natural process of aging should be stopped and how “just because we are getting old we don't have to look our age”. I realized that these companies just keep growing because they target both men and women. Even I feel like anti-aging companies are targeting me. When I look for face moisturizers or just a face was they always have creams from 20+ year olds and they make it seem like it is never too young to start with anti-aging. These companies make it as if getting wrinkles and slowing down is a bad thing.
After the book discussion half of us presented our oral history projects. I really enjoyed hearing about people’s family members and getting to see some of my classmates amazing projects. It’s nice to hear also the experience or difficulties that people had while interviewing their EP.
