What kind of car do you want, ideally, once
you leave school? Why? What realities do
you attribute to what is, in effect, little more
than a sophisticated piece of steel, plastic,
and glass? Where did these realities originate? How free are you to develop your own
personally meaningful reality of the car you
drive? And does it matter that you might not
be as independent or idiosyncratic as you
think? If you think cars are important primarily to men, why would this be the case?
Does it suggest that the “reality” of cars is
indeed constructed? If not, wouldn’t men
and women share the same reality? If the
question asked you to consider style and
fashion instead of cars, would your answers
be the same?
