Compare-contrast paper

I think I'll write mine about the contrast between the preception of the Pinto and what actually occurred, and hopefully show why that disconnect occured.

Questions and answers are here.


Does Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed have anything to do with it?
Is this phenomena related to the general crappiness of American cars during that era?
What does perception of corporate culture have to do with it?
Is it because it just makes a good story? (watch the clip from Top Secret to know what I mean)

  1. hey, i think we're supposed to choose two topics from our song and compare or contrast them somehow. but i could be wrong haha so i would ask him about it first. but i think that's a cool idea anyway. =]

  2. Oh- thanks for the heads-up. Now that I've thought about it, this topic might not work anyway, but with your comment, I'll defineatly double check.

    Thanks!

  3. Yeah, you are supposed to pick topics from your song. I would go with more concrete topics though. I think it would be a little bit difficult to compare something ambiguous with something so concrete. Ex. Comparing the Pinto with the VW bus.
