Obsolescence

The next issue we will work is that of obsolescence.
Our economic system is based on consumption, companies use many mechanisms to enhance the consumer.
One such mechanism is the planned obsolescence (we will see that there is another mechanism called "perceived obsolescence" and that is the basis of the whole phenomenon of fashion, but that will be in another post).
To understand what is that of "planned obsolescence" we will work with a video directed by Cosima Dannoritzer ( can stay here an interview with users) and co-produced by Radio Television English. We can see the full documentary on the link below and that RTVE offers us all many programs on its website.

The task that we must develop a slide show that explains to students of 1 ยบ ESO what these mechanisms consist of consumption.
