❖ Still, America is happy to celebrate success, whatever its mystery, and Barbie gained fame not simply as a product but as an icon. Andy Warhol produced an image of Barbie, to be applauded alongside that of Marilyn Monroe. At one time you could hardly switch on the radio in America without hearing the song “Barbie Girl”, albeit by a Danish group, Aqua: “Life in plastic/It's fantastic.” A Barbie doll was buried in an American government time capsule as representative of life in the 20th century.

In your opinion should the manufacturers be sensitive to this criticism? There are no ‘right' answers to these questions, but you should develop a line of reasoning that reflects your values.”
