When responding to two of your peers’ posts, choose peers who selected different artifacts by looking at the title of the discussion post. Assuming the reasons given by your peers were in fact the creator’s intention, describe how this knowledge changed your view, feelings, or opinion of the culture in which the artifact was created. How do you think the artifacts potentially impacted the values of society after it was released to the public? Discuss how your own individual assumptions, beliefs, and values might shape your impression of the artifacts.
