Extra Credit Entry#7 What A Great Way To Convince The Masses!

There are so many things that surrounds and controls our environment that we may not know about. Sometimes we hear them talk about these things and argue on Tv but we dont pay any attention to it because that doesn't put food on our table as well. However, Im so glad to have gained a little knowledge about a few of these things; capitalism and socialism. "Capitalism: a love story", a movie by Michael Moore has given me a highlight of what these politicians sometimes talk about. The purpose of the movie, I believe, was to provide a concrete argument as to why capitalism is evil and enemy to society. The delivery of the story was so powerful that I can say I got moved by it. The content couldn't have been delivered any better. One thing the story failed to provide was a counterargument and rebuttal. However, I still believe there were some areas in the movie that tried on that approach. For example, the writer tried finding an explanation for stocks, and many of the things that happen at wall street. I believe this was a way of employing some counterarguments into the movie, but answers from professors, and mathematical formulas that were provided from these wall street moguls clearly shut down any attempt to oppose. Delivery was superb in convincing the masses that capitalism was evil that came to hurt the poor. It also highlight the importance of socialism as a savior for the average American. You could tell on the reactions of people when Obama was announced as the winner of elections. Because people believed Obama has come to save them from the hands of socialists. On one account, the movie is very enjoyable and fun to watch as the writer involved a lot of humor into play. This is clearly seen in areas where he tries to find answers from CEO's and banks, walking in front of banks and asking about money that belongs to the American people. Without too much knowledge on capitalism, just like myself, one is definitely bound to agree with what the movie was intended to achieve. It is definitely a great way to convince the masses and the average American to hate capitalism and love socialism.
