Week 6 – Cobb Chapter 6
February 18, 2008
The discussion on “accessorized identities” raises some very significant questions. Cobb notes:
Commoddities serves as out autobiographical markers. Therein lies the danger.
It seems that in a world identified by what it consumes, there is very little need for one to understand one’s ultimate source. That is, one need no longer find belonging or identity in the appeal to one’s Creator. It seems much more tempting to claim the “creator” title ourselves.
“It seems that in a world identified by what it consumes, there is very little need for one to understand one’s ultimate source.”
Great insight.
