Beats by Dre is a cultural pedagogue because they show how lazy my generation is. Beats is a headphone brand that production cost is low but market price is high. They show how gullible people are when is comes to celebrities. Beats are only valued so high because they were made by a rapper called Dr. Dre. This is a good example of a free enterprise; they can legally do that. With a free enterprise companies can have high prices for low production cost items. This reveals how a decent amount of people will buy things simply because a celebrity made them. Beats were manufactured in California, but those factory workers still get paid a lot less. Most of the revenue generated goes to the higher ups like the CEOs, investors, etc. None of these ideals are considered common sense, but they are still highly practiced amongst some.
