While reading Idiot Nation by Michael Moore I found myself agreeing and rejecting many ideas he shared.I really did enjoy many of the different statistics especially the ones about Harvard students and other high universities not being able to answer simple questions that one should know. I really found it interesting because we just expect those "higher educated" beings to know everything.
On the other hand i really did not like how he was so critical of everything especially America they whole time i kept asking myself then why doesn't he just move out of the country. All of his comments are so critical to any rule he really found the negative in any situation.. with that he drops out of college because they dont have a parking spot? i thought that was crazy.
Throughout all of the reading i never questioned what his opinion was he was very verbal about anything he felt. With that being said i think that quality is good for him but at the same time its not good to be narrowminded and he deffinately has that along with being a smart a** about everything.

Ya I found this story suprising when I found out how many higher education students did not know when the civil war was. I knew when it was. I think the reason Moore doesn't move out of the country because he feels the world as a problem has a serious issue. Look at us now we are in a global recession. I just think he is negative so that he can critically analyze a situation opposite the normal sugar coated approach. But, ya didn't you find it interesting how lazy he was for leaving school, but also determined enough to get his principal fired. How funny huh.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised about the whole dropping out of college thing because he couldn't find a parking spot. I think that was long coming. yeah, i also believe that we expect higher educated people to just know everything. It was interesting how he got his principal fired. He seems very determined, but its almost like he doesn't pose any solutions to these problems he addresses. Good job!
