soc 350 #11 11-26-2013 How you look at it...

 I refure to the video you can find the full video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6niWzomA_So 

I was really interested by the movie we watched and the idea that so many people want to help other people yet they do not really see all that they do. I mean that I understand that at times there are going to be pains for the change yet I think a lot of the time. Or at least part of the time we don't think any one that leaves in a level lower then what we do is okay. If most of use where to go to a small village and have no electronic that we are use to. Then to add on the idea that being a farmer or a factory job. We then for some reason believe that we are helping people when we go in and change the way they live to match a western way of life. Thinking of this recalled me of a video that I watched in anthropology class a few week’s ago called Cannibal tour’s. I might be a bit cynical bout it and I feel bad about that but it upsets. I wish with all the advances in globalization that then the world could work in a more productive way with each other. To me it is not about going in and changing things to the way I do them. I feel that they should be done the way the people the changes are made for want them done. It is no me that has to deal with the everyday to day life problems that I create most times it is them. It upsets me that I feel so many times people feel that they are helping when in fact it is a ploy with a hidden agenda to change the playing field so that others with more power can keep getting power and more the game in the way they want. I used to video I did for the fact that I though it went really well with the idea of playing the game to have the game go in your favor. Yet the other players just go with it and there is nothing they can do. For example there is the a part in the video about playing a game and one player starts off with double the money to start and they get double every time they get payed. Even though there is nothing different between the players the one with the game in there favor stats to act in a way to view its self as better then the other player. Even when it is just a game so imagine the thinking there is in real life.
