Week 5 Overview

This week we finished watching a video on Capitalism and saw it in the point of view from someone who hates the system in which the government is controlled. He gave many reasons and examples to why he hates the system and backed up all those reasons with facts or true stories. Many of the stories had to do with life struggles and how some people get punished by the government in ways that they shouldn't, such as taking away property or land. I disagree with the argument being put forth but I also realise that there are going to be loopholes no matter what kind of government we run. We also worked on some pages in our english book and compared images from different point of views. That helped me to see the different perspectives a certain image can have. There are always two sides to the story and that is what this week has definitively shown me.

  1. I'm glad you're seeing that, Caite. I wish we had time in class to have more debate about Moore's argument about capitalism. I appreciated your comments in class when we were discussing his film.
