2.What audience do you believe Annie Leonard is trying to reach?
I think Annie is trying to reach common people or consumers, especially in developed countries like the US.
4.Why do you think Annie Uses the format of a 20-minute video rather than another format, such as report, web blog, or poster?
I think the reason why she uses the 20-minute video is this format is interesting, approachable, and informative at the same time. Nowadays, many people may not have the interest and time to read a word report or a long poster so a video attracts more people. And the images in the video vividly give people the idea of what Annie is trying to illustrate.
6.Who might disagree with Annie's message? Why do you think they would disagree?
I think the economists and some people from the government might disagree with Annie's message because the rapid consumption does contribute to the growth of global economy and therefore help to stabilize the world's political situation. People can't live on the level of living quality right now they have without a developed economy and safe political environment. And some scientists may doubt the possibility of the cycle of the whole system she proposed in the end of the video for various scientific reasons, such as some chemical changes are irreversible.
8.Has The Story of Stuff affected the way you think about consumption? If so, how?
The story of stuff makes realize I need to choose to consume the goods that could last longer. Before I may think people are free to buy any fashionable products they want and throw away the rest. After watching the video, I agree that buying "design- to- dump" products is helping some business man earning money on the cost of our planet.
