Blog assignment 4

1843

Still being produced today. 

I will be analyzing weather people today are more evolved has a culture then past (1843). just looking at the tea pots there are big differences with the decorations. The 1843 tea pot has lots of decorations which made it look attractive and is the main focus of the. The removal of the decorations also removes the focus away from the tea pot therefore the focus is now either on the tea or the interactions with others while drinking tea.

These days the focus is no longer on the tea pot and it ornaments but instead it's on social interaction while drinking tea makes us as a society more evolved because we now think that relationships is more important than material objects. In my opinion we have evolved our morals simply because of the removal of ornaments. therefore I agree with Adolf Loos.
