Topic: The commercialization of Christmas and other holidays
As a member of this group, I will take equal and fair responsibility of my assigned duties to make sure that this project is finished on time and completed to the best of our group’s abilities. We will conduct interviews, research, and will observe major shopping centers. We will try to understand the different ideologies between age groups to attempt to come to a consensus.
