Lessig's Argumentative Analysis

Over the course of the readings, there is no shortage of creativity. Each text is incorporated with their own views and sense of creativity. However, the most similar would those of Lessig, McRobbie, and Lynch. There is many clear distinctions between the three readings, but they are all connected in one way or another. Through their works we see how they envision creativity through individualism, expanding the mind, and building upon an idea.

With Lessig, he demonstrates what side he is on, on the debate of creativity and innovation. He talks about the limitations in which we will have, if we simply just start from scratch, rather than building upon someone else's ideas. He gives a different point of view in that, he gives information about

Lessig continues to elaborate on his thoughts and ideas more and more. He then begins to talk about the legal aspects of creativity and innovation. There are an abundant amount of issues with our level of creativity in the United States. There are patents, copyrights, and infringement lawyers, etc. This in sense, limits our creativity and innovation. He then relates the United States way of innovation to that of Japan's. Lessig says, “This market exists in parallel to the mainstream commercial manga market. In some ways, it obviously competes with that market, but there is no sustained effort by those who control the commercial manga market to shut the doujinshi market down. It flourishes, despite the competition and despite the law." It gives a different prospect to our views dealing with copyright and patents. We are called the, "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave." However, our creativity is not truly free, especially to that of Japan's. Their views on copying one's ideas differs exponentially than ours. They have a different type of success, one that builds upon ideas and creates a variety of comics and works of creation, with more people benefiting from the doujinshi market. He encourages this type of "shared" ideas and

Unlike Lessig's, she begins to label all that is wrong with individualism. She gives the idea that a new modern urban culture is creating jobs in culture and arts. For example, Uber and Lyft drivers' can be regular day to day people. It is creating a work whenever you want type of jobs. She begins to state that there is no job security, health benefits, dental benefits, etc. It is nothing like a regular day to day job, like one that was always etched in every ones minds' as soon as they left high school or college. themselves for the increasingly global market. McRobbie says, "They can be successful, sell their work; they no longer have any reason to be angry social critics. This is the New Labour classless dream, a high-energy band of young people driving the cultural economy ahead, but in a totally privatized and non-subsidy-oriented direction." In a way she is stating that all of the self-driven and people who yearn to be self-employed, should be realistic and focus on regular culture jobs that have been around forever. Yet, also realizing that there is a shortage of regular jobs that we need in order to function as a society. It is due to the mentality of those who want to do their own thing and be their own boss. The limits in which McRobbie is thinking is that, without individualism, where would the world be right now? There would be no innovation, nobody to think of starting their own business or different
