Design for the Real World

Papanek's belief that designers should understand the social responsibility in the work they do is relevant across all spectrums. I think these myths are not just a designers problem but a worldly issue that everyone should focus on. I think the myth of peoples wants does lead to greater importance when designing products. These myths definitely hold relevance.

Design towards the six directions are undoubtly increasing as the world accepts its responsibilites. I think with design as with most things consumerism usually outweighs other needs, but by mentioning the troubles at least the world can be held accountable and excuses won't hold.
