VEHICLE Submitted by: Professor: Gus Janssen Anthropology 9/14/02 There is much a person desires in a vehicle, one; does it have power windows, Power locks, power seats, two; does it have a high horse power engine, or does it have a low geared engine, three; does it have nice interior, and can it hold the entire family, but most of all, four, is the price reasonable, or can I afford it. These are just a few things a person does when shopping for a new vehicle, but in this whole process are they missing the picture. Why do they have such nice vehicles to choose from, how do they get the money to be able to afford these vehicles, and how almost whoever you are can have a vehicle? I have been observing people and found out that vehicles make people lazy, but without them they would they would not be able to make a living ninety percent of the time. So when you put all of these facts in an Anthropological mind, it all makes since, why vehicles mean so much in our lives. First lets talk about how people take vehicles for granted, I went to a car dealership with my mother, because she wanted to buy a new SUV the first one we looked at was a beautiful Lexus, it was one year old, with twenty eight thousand miles on it; with leather interior, power windows and locks, with a V6 engine. She did not like the car for a couple of reasons; one it was expensive, and two it did not have a power full enough engine. The next one we looked at was a new BMW SUV, it had all of the same features, but a more power full engine, at around the same price, and that was the one she was considering to buy.
