I think this shows American's at their worst, the facts show : a mob of angry people killed a man to save a couple bucks on some clothes and electronics. When you put it like that of course it sounds horrible and the article managed to successfully describe Americans as "savages". And to a point the article makes the reader believe that we as American's are savages who only care about making money and saving money. But the author of the article also managed to not get any quotes from people who were shopping. The article puts down anyone who wanted to save money for that day. I agree that the people didn't have to be that extreme but the words the author used did sound a bit extreme. Maybe it would have been a little bit more convincing if there were alternative view points.
Above: is a previous post about an incident that happened the morning of Black Friday. It involves my thoughts about an article that someone wrote describing how crazy American's get just to say a few bucks on something, this proves that they would even go as far as kill a man.
I am focusing on how an inanimate object, how little pieces of green paper with DEAD people on it can essentially run an entire society. I want to focus on the history of money and how it came to be the most important thing to many Americans. I would also like to connect the value of money, the greed that people develop for it and how far people are willing to go to get money. Lastly I will connect money to AWOL.
