CORRUPTION IS NOT THE SOLUTION
Why humans have
the trend to corruption by a materialistic wish? The tale talks about a family
that has different kind of businesses which were illegal, the father makes oil
of dog and the mother takes over the unwelcome babies, one day the son of them
takes over a unwelcome baby and he was going to through it to a river but like
he was in the factory of his father the fast solution was through the baby in
the vast were they prepared the oil dog, the next day the father have the news
that the last night they make the best oil ever, the son decided to tell what
he did and since that point their parents continue doing the oil with some
humans, time later one night the mother and the father fight and the killed
each other, that day their son knew all the horrible thing that they parents
did. Because of this tale I get the next hypothesis, since long time ago the
society had created some ideologies in which the most powerful control the
world, taking into account this we can say that people need the power to
survive, when the people can’t have that authority the corruption appear,
continually the pressure of the society make that the human feel that
materialistic wish that along the time people had teach us.
Since my point
of view, I think that this is a great short story because the author use a
weird situation for explain a problem in the real life, for example nowadays
they are many crimes that are not punish, like the animal abuse, the abort
etc…, the tale make that the reader imagine all that is passing in the text
also in any part of the writing I get bored or confused this make that I like
the reading, it is interesting know that maybe in a future, past or present
this things of the oil dog and of the unwelcome babies pass, the author make
that our imagination fly and that we analyze the impact that this history have
in reality.
“These memoirs are written with a heart full of
remorse for a heedless act entailing so dismal a commercial disaster.” Oil of
Dog by Ambrose Bierce
Taking into
account the initial question we can say that this quote is related because the
author tell us that the business does not function with the corruption but it
always is going to be present in the society, the culture make that people
think in a specific way, that’s why the corruption exist because of the
avaricious thinking, the material things and the money make that people lose
all their values and start been a bad piece of the culture and society, the
problem is that if just one person do in bad way their businesses a whole
culture and society is going to be affect, because of this we have to take care
with the future of the civilization.
In Colombia
nowadays and in the ancient times the corruption always is present, one of the big problems of our country is that many
people have different ideas for change the situation in which we are but all is
a business and a materialist wish, maybe one day people understand that not
because they have big houses and beautiful cars they are better than a poor
person, in the tale they teach us that if you do bad the things all is going to
be worse and that killing and mistreat people is not the solution, so this text
make me open my eyes and see the reality in which we are living.
In conclusion we
can say that the tale let us think and analyze the society and all the things
that involve this topic, that corruption and the materialist wish is something
that teach us the world in which we live.
