System Examples

The elite people who have the power to help the man with Parkinson's do not make an attempt to help either due to his or her greed and selfish agenda or because of his or her fear in getting punished by the system. The people with power and the people benefiting from the system are one in the same. These people do not want to jeopardize their comfortable positions by resisting the system, or they do not look beyond their comfort to recognize the cruelty the system is inflicting on others. I believe that the man should receive his home back and only have to pay what was left of the mortgage. It is easier to act morally correct when not affiliated with the system because you have not conformed to the corrupt ways of the system and the system has no leverage on you.


Humans are inherently greedy, and when they get power they automatically want to sustain this level AND gain more power. This human nature I believe is due to he comfort and security power instills in humans. To have power is to be in control, and it is better to be in control of your life and of things that effect you than to be reliant on others. The danger in relying on others goes back to the natural greed in people: relying on someone gives them power, and it turns into a cycle of power hungry antics. We see this acted out in Stanford's experiment. The police officers were given power, to keep this power, they enforce it through terror. The prisoners were given a role of reliance. They conformed to this role because this is what they have been taught to do.
