The Story of Stuff: A Critical Analysis (Even Numbers)

2.  I believe that the audience that Annie Leonard is trying to reach is the consumers of USA, and the world.

4.  I think that Annie uses the format of a 20 minute video rather than another format like a report, web blog, or poster is because formats such as a report and poster does not get the attention of an audience.  She makes her video into this format (with pictures, and her standing there stating the facts) so that it can be easily understood (children are able to understand it and possibly people who's first language is not English).

6.  I think that the business people would disagree with what Annie has to say, because what she is saying is causing them to lose business, since most of their costumers would be informed about what is happening, and the business tactics that they are using.  What she is saying may cause the business people to raise the price of their products, because they would have to make their products in a safe environment where their employees are paid fairly and will be working in safe conditions where it would not affect their health.  Also they would have to find a solution that would reduce the amount of garbage that is being produced, and to make their product more efficient where it's main purpose is not to be broken after a few months of usage or to be replaced frequently.

8.  I don't really think this video has affected the way I think about consumption, because I already know about everything that the video is talking about.   There is no way that the cheap products that we are buying off the shelves of Walmart and other stores is coming from a place that pays their employees fairly.  I already know that the products that we are buying are producing a lot of garbage from first hand experience, so I tend to buy things of higher quality, and try to buy products that aren't made in China, or any other Asian countries that don't make a safe environment for their employees.  I'm one of those people that don't go with the trend, so when I buy electronics I would buy something that would last me a long time.
