The only motivation behind ever acquiring money unethically is the prospect of providing happiness to one’s life, but do the people that engage in this process actually acquire this happiness? According to the recently acquired data, there is strong evidence to suggest they are not. Because the graphs indicate that the rich keep getting richer, it is obvious that most of the extremely wealthy people in the country are primarily focused on getting wealthier in any way they possibly can. Because of this, they are obviously not satisfied with living in extremely comfortable circumstances, so it is clear that they have not found true happiness in life yet, and are continuously in pursuit of more money in hope of finding it. Eventually, as technology is rapidly increasing the life span of people, there will be one generation of wealthy people that will realize what makes them happy in life and will not feel the urge to keep getting richer.

It is true that there will always be people who will take an unethical approach into getting money, but I do not think that it will be a huge problem in the future. The reason for anybody to ever acquire money illegally is of course the thought that it will bring greater happiness into their lives by being able to satisfy all of their material desires. People who do this probably feel compelled to do it, and are unable to see any other way to live their life than to live it with avarice. They feel more compelled than other people would to acquire large sums of money in any way possible. When they are successful in doing this, they are bound to feel that they are worth more now as people than they ever were before in their lives, and are sure to bask in the glory of the good life that they now find themselves in. The problem with this way of acquiring money is that these people were so wrapped up in the process of getting it that they probably do not know how to spend it in order to make them truly happy.

Looking back through history, I believe that it is fairly obvious that there are more atheists and casual religious people than ever before. Changing political and social structure had much to do with it, but there is no reason to think that the trend will cease here. People are becoming less fearful of the creator because they are becoming less fearful in general, as they know more about natural phenomena than ever before due to scientific research. And as more and more research is being done, there will be more knowledge known about the things that were unexplainable at some point in history. This type of learning will continue on in the future, so it is only natural to think that religion will decrease along with it. As people become more knowledgeable, they become less afraid, thus leading to a decrease in religion. As more and more people become less religious, it will lead people that are more religious to rethink their beliefs once they see a vast quantity of people that do not rely on religion to survive.

There is some definite truth in these predictions. As the world becomes more and more educated, more and more people are going to be able to think for themselves rather than accept the beliefs that they shared as a child with their parents into their adult lives. With more educated people, there is more critical thinking being done about whether or not religion is right for them or how much time they should devote to it. In a world that expanding its technological limits every day, there is simply more things that people can devote their attention to, and spend less of their time focusing on the unanswerable questions that would lead them to religion in the first place. I think that science also plays a major role in this too, because more and more questions about the natural world are being answered through it. As people become more and more educated about their surroundings, they are less likely to dismiss the unexplainable as the creator’s will. This emphasis on technology and science will undoubtedly make religion less prevalent in the future.

If there should ever come a time when the judicial system wasn’t corrupt and every individual case could be evaluated in a rational manner to determine who would be guilty and innocent, then there is still the matter of locking up people for life that remains absurd. I think that, if not now then in the near future, there will be a way of evaluating prisoners to determine if they can reenter society or not. The idea of a life sentence is a rather ridiculous idea in general, because people tend to get weaker and weaker as far as health is concerned as they age, so it can be assumed that a old lifer who is just like any other old person who is too weak to walk would not be physically able to commit a crime if let out. A person that has been in prison for 40+ years and would commit a similar crime if they were released would have obvious mental issues and should be in an insane asylum and not a prison.

This article has plenty of valid arguments for showing how wrong this is. Like we talked about in class, I believe the source of the problem all relates back to the unnecessary fear of the typical person living in Pennsylvania. I think that because the majority of people in Pennsylvania feel that they live in safe communities, they are more likely to be paranoid when it comes to viewing criminal activity here, which in turn leads to the prosecution of more juvenile lifers than anywhere in the world. Growing up here, I know a lot of people that would take a very conservative viewpoint when it comes to viewing crime and various court cases. They would just want people locked up if they were accused of a crime, like a guilty until proven innocent type of mindset, only there would never be a chance to prove they were innocent. I think this is the reason why there are so many lifers in the US in general, because this seems to be the common American thought process.

I think the video does a good job of pointing out the fact that many people do not have a lot of interest in the subject matter they are taught in school, which leads to a lifelong disregard for learning. Hopefully there will be some new technological breakthrough to completely revolutionize learning, because it is not going in a good direction as the video suggested. It is so standardized now that the idea of a perfect student is not the one that is able to think of many questions and collaborate with other people, but one that can remember the information in the classroom the best for an exam. Having a 4.0 GPA is all well and good when it comes to looking for a job in today’s economy, but in the future it will not be as promising as you would like it to be. Every day we see stuff from science fiction become a reality, so it is safe to assume that one day there will be Artificial Intelligence that will make the “perfect student” of today obsolete. When artificial intelligence reaches a point where it can process and retain information much better than any human mind could, it will completely eliminate the need for any of the material that is taught in education today. What would be the jobs of specialists today will be run by computers, so where will all the jobs be for people? It will probably reach a point where a lot of the work we do today will be done automatically for us, and if this was so then there would be no need for an economy anymore, because all anyone would be responsible for is maintaining the robotic entities that would take care of everything else for them. With no regular occupations, people will be more free than ever before, but the price of this will be a need for better communication skills and a more cohesive society since human interaction, in whatever form that may be, will also be greater than ever before. This is the course that education needs to be headed on in order for a prosperous future.

This entire issue is very much a fear issue more than anything else. When people hear the word “government”, they are inclined to think of intervention into their lives, thus the governing body of this nation will forever be cursed by the negative ideas that people associate with it. As people become flooded constantly with more and more information about the happenings in the social and political realms, there is going to be an increase in this type of paranoia because people are going to eventually see the people in high positions of government for who they really are, normal people that are prone to mistakes just like they are. Until this happens, however, people will continue to expect that the president, or anyone else in political office for that matter, will be a sort of supernatural figure that will be able to accommodate everyone’s wants and needs.
