B. Film: Rent ONE film from the list below (some are available for free online). Watch it. Then,
Capitalism: A Love Story.
The main topics of the film are;
Contemporary reality is produced by the significance changes of time in which society is currently living, and the effects that bring us to this moment from the last few decades. It is mostly based on facts, in which we identify ourselves with actual movements of lives. Realities can be found in many prospective life experience as the ones encounter on TV shows, or the type of documentary that aware us of social issues. For instance, in the movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story”. It shows us the cause and effect of our system being devastated by many adjustments to the law; as showed in the movie the cut break taxes from the government of Ronald Reagan to the American corporations and its outcomes after he left the presidency, a system that slowly declined to fall apart into the actual recession that our generation is facing. The producers of these realities are thoughtful encounters that persuade people of an idea being shown to the public with real facts, those facts are taken from life experiences in which it can be simple demonstrate that those issues are affecting our society. Therefore, these realities focus their storylines on issues that affect entire communities to give a sense of reaction among the victims, those who suffers from real life experience. The message sent by any reality could be a metaphor to begin a positive change in what is being shown as bad or wrong. If we think beyond the actual issues on the clip, we might get a solution in which all the parts involved can benefit from it. Even though some people do not want to sacrifice some personal assets to provide an equal society, we must demand an equal society that fights for the whole well being of our society. We need to stop the indiscrimination of social classes to enhance our future.

In the film “Capitalism: A Love Story”, directed and produced by Michael Moore. There was a conception of whether Capitalism is evil or not. The movie was focused to address the current issue that the system is facing, and how it was originated by the government selling the power to corporations. Also the film shows us the humanity side of people who are suffering because of the economy turned down.
I had chosen three pictures which are very common to the end of capitalism. In my own point of view, the system is in its final moments of existing and ruling the world as we know it. The acceleration of technologies, and the new changes in society will demand a different role in the consumption of how people will behave in the world, and therefore, react against the system exploitation of labor, inequality, and instability. In the first picture, we can see how the capitalism is being compared as the new communism; this can be seen on the flag as the Wall Street banks are in bankrupt. Through the movie, Michael Moore tries to get responses from the bank executives on Wall Street; however, he never got an answer of where is the money? The same money that was given by the government to support the house market and alleviate the suffering of many fellow Americans, and instead of serving this honorable purpose, they used for their own good. In the same picture we can draw the end of private enterprise. As a contrary reaction from capitalism advance in technology, even though I am a big fan of technology breakthroughs, I have included a picture from Cuba labors because I believe that the super advance reach in technology is affecting us, the middle class people. For instances, the easy access of transferring information over the internet is outsourcing many jobs that used to feed our families. This business maneuvers to minimize profit is leaving the working class behind, hopeless, and frustrated. Therefore, I have posted this picture to go back in the future and eliminate this maneuver of capitalism taking our jobs away from us, and bring them back to the present. My last picture clearly indicates a statement from the movie, is capitalism evil? In the film, Michael Moore went to the priest to get a response of whether it is or not, he finally ends it by stating; I lost the part of the bible when Jesus became a capitalist. This reflection makes me believe in all the incorrect manners that the market magnates are processing, and in some point of our era, they are going to pay for their mistakes. In my conclusion, I do not believe in capitalism as evil but the indiscriminate practices of taking people properties, jobs away from them, misusing government money to personal satisfaction, yes the same money that came from our taxes, laws that benefit the richest and smash the poorest of our country, that has to be considered the evil force of our era, and it can not be tolerated by the hard working class.
