Today, I read an article from the book called The State of Greed by Harrison Rainie. This article talks about the greed displayed in today’s world. As the years go by, greed is becoming more present. “A generation ago, a three-car lifestyle would have been thought opulent; these days, it's often essential in suburban families with multiple earners and a teenager or two.” This can be supported by the fact that technology is constantly advancing. It’s human nature to want whatever will put them higher than others. Another big issue this article introduces is the reason why people think greed is actually a bad thing. I mean, greed is increasing the amount of money in our country. The article says that “greed is tied to the broken health care system, the degradation of the environment, the behavior of welfare recipients and sleazy acts by professionals and politicians. People believe the love of money is a large contributor to our moral decline.”
This article can easily be compared to Dollhouse because of the greed shown within the show. The clients are the perfect example for this. Why else would they order a preprogrammed piece of perfection? The greed level is so immense…but would it be considered any more than the average person? Think about it…if we had that much money, would the average person do the same thing? Like mentioned in the earlier paragraph, technology is constantly advancing. Dollhouse shows the greed level increasing because the level of technology the scientists use in this show is so high.
