Commodification

Like my previous picture, this picture depicts the American lifestyles built around oil and petroleum products. This symbolic picture represents a major example of America growing into the nation it is today. Instead of the American Flag being raised, an oil well is represented as the flag pole. Oil is the fuel and power behind the American public in todays society. Back in the early 1900's to 1950's Americans only cared about their Freedom, nowadays...Freedom is overlooked by almost every single individual in this country. This picture could also be represented as...industrialization!
