women are the main driving forces for the shopping mall and they receive enormous
amount of pleasure by just shopping at the mall. The Malls are definitely the
places for women to show their “power”. Many of them shop for leisure not necessarily
buying them when they actually need the stuff they want. Also, in the article,
the author suggests there’s an imbalance between genders in Mall culture indicating
the Mall is very famine. In the article, “the Art of Necessity”, the author
first saying the art has proven the social change and reflects many aspects of
people’s cultures and lives. For instance, “the furniture was moved into the
road” serves as an example of how people’s perspective of being neat and clean
is a work of art, mentioning in the article. The road also symbolizes the art
and politics, in which are maintained by the workers and create a social balance.
Police also serves as a power on the road.
