  2. CU Natural History Museum • Located next to the North side of UMC • Open 9am-5pm M-F, 9-4 Saturday, 10-4 Sunday. • Visit the exhibit in the downstairs BioLounge, Chris Jordan’s art is on the walls.

  3. The Artist Chris Jordan • Chris Jordan gave a TED talk in 2008 to introduce his work: • Chris Jordan pictures some shocking stats | Video on TED.com

  4. Questions to consider.. • What aspects of our culture, material and non-material, are displayed in this exhibit? • Are we socialized to mass consume? How? • What does this tell us about our social structure? Think about the relationship between structure and agency - how are our individual choices constrained by social structure?

  5. Questions to consider.. • Why is it so easy to minimize or not consider the consequences of our mass consumption? • Take note of these questions and try to formulate some answers; at the very least jot down your impressions as you will likely have a future writing assignment related to this exhibit.
