COP2: 1st Essay Draft - Feedback

"How are psychogeographic techniques employed by man-made consumer environments, to manipulate the way we exist within them?" (Essay Draft title)

For the first draft submission, my essay was only part finished due to lack of sources and inspiration for directions to take it in. I feel that what I did submit was successful in the way that it was properly cited/referenced and outlined a clear structure for my intentions. 

The feedback I received was really useful, from Pete and also people in my tutorial session; 

Aspects to look into:
- Argument?
- WHY?????
- Las Vegas / cultural appropriation, use of capitalism
- Clunky question
- Read more texts on psychology
- C.R - redesign of parts of the london underground, kings cross - made people more passive.
- MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES
- Capitalism
- Semiotics by Stewart Hall, useful book.
- Mass Production / Industrialisation.
- Modern Utopia - shopping experiences, leisure. 'Shopping is leisure'

Feedback on Essay so far:
- Clear introduction
- NOT FINISHED
- Discuss Colour Theory / colour of prison walls?
- Industrial revolution and beginning of mass production / 1850's onwards
- Shape Theory
