Assigned Entry #4 Capitalism

Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.  I did not know what capatitalism was util I googled the definition and as I watched Michael Moore's film on it called The Love Story. When I watched the film I could not believe the emotions I felt watching it. If the film didnt have music or voice you could tell either way it was about something really bad and negative.  As I compaired the definition to the film I could not find a way to compare both of them. Until the part of the film where Paul Smith a walmart employee told his story. His story was very sad, his wife who was also an employee at walmart passed away and because of her death walmart got eighty thousand dollars richer and the family did not recieve anything from walmart. So this this is what a private or corporate ownership do on their private dicisions. They discuss about who and how many many people are going to get money from a dead employee. These people dont have hearts and Im scared of ever meeting or trusting a company like that. So now that I understand a little bit of capitalism, I now understand Michael Moore's purpose of this film. He makes these films to persuade his viewers into taking their blind folds off and seeing how corrupted these people are. It didnt take me very long to alighn with him on this subject. Michael has the evidence to prove his point across, The evidence was shown in the film. He interviewed the family and he interviewed workers they had so much to say. Michael try to interview the bad people and they hid their faces like cowards.
