elaborating on the question "Are there Willy Loman's today?" ...YES! And they will continue to exist as long as capitalism and the middle
latest #11
I have met people of the same take on life as willy, that where they are just isnt good enough for them...
why does this have to do witth capitalism?
And they will continue to exist as long as we have credit companies luring people into more and more debt!!
capitalism creates a distinctive class system(wealthy, middle, poor) & allows people to move up & down within the class system.
This is what Willy struggles with. He wants to move up the ladder. and for some, its a constant struggle and always will be.
Credit Card companies create hidden struggles!!!!!!
also, we discussed in class this theory called "SCHIZOANALYSIS". It basically says goals can never be reached bc the trick of capitlalism...
is that there are no goals. so you are always spending towards unattainable goals. quite interesting.
Also raises question on what you want versus what you really need.
exactly, sgaitanos. great insight.
