According the popular culture, an Icon is an artistic visual representation or symbol of anything considered popular, model, or just part of the culture. For example, when talking about pop music, Michael Jackson can be considered as the icon that represents this type of music. For this Analysis, I m going to focus on three icons: McDonalds, Lexus, and Bobby flay.
First of all, McDonalds is the main icon of fast food in our culture. Anywhere in the world, and whenever anyone wants to get food in a timely manner, then McDonalds is the answer to this quest. In addition, our culture is defined as a fast food culture. We want to be able to buy a quick sandwich and go back to work as time is really limited. This icon brings a lot of success and production to me as individual and to the society as whole. When people from other countries talked to me about McDonalds it makes me proud to be an American. People think that USA is the only country capable of creating the most successful franchise of all times. In other words, McDonalds is not only an icon of fast food but to also successful franchise.
Moreover, Lexus can be defined as an icon that represents luxury in automotives. Whenever an individual is seeking comfort and luxury in driving, then Lexus is the brand to buy to accommodate the person’s desire. It is also an icon of priced automotives. When buying cars, if price is one of the factors, then Lexus might not be the right choice. I think that Lexus is a style icon as well. The same way a person chooses to buy a shirt or a pair of shoes, the person also can chooses the type of car desired. . I m a Lexus admirers, and I found that this icon is in fact a true representation of luxury and design. I can’t wait to get one :-)
The last icon of this analysis is a food name that has made a great change in the cooking industry. Bobby Flay is the icon of the best American cuisine. It is also the icon of iron chef and art of cooking. His name associated with anything and everything related to cooking. Whenever an individual want to impress his significant other, then the person can search for the closest Bobby Flay restaurant or research the Internet for one of his recipes. I enjoy the art of cooking, and I found that Bobby Flay has some really good recipes that can really change the way people eat.
I love Bobby Flay :) The food channel in general, I love to cook but I never really do cause it is just my son and me, and he is the pickiest eater! He loves what I hate.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree Lexus does represent luxury. I am partial to the older models of cars in general, especially the Cutlass S 77', but they are not good for my wallet or the environment.
Nice job on your post!
