After watching the Glengarry Glen Ross play, I realized how easy it is to get lost in the crazy world of money and success. In our class, we have learned about morals, values, ethics, and their similarities and differences. I would sometimes sit and wonder why in the world we have to learn things like this, because I believe, think like a communitarian.
During the play, we saw many examples of how corrupt our world is. The first example was when one business man is trying to corrupt another man into a plan to steal "leads." Do some people really have to steal in order to get to the top? After all, didn't he end up getting caught?
Another example is the poor, married man is getting screwed out of his money. The salesman is competition to earn a car amongst other salesmen. The poor, married guy is trying to get his money back after he told his wife what he had done. After going back to the salesman, he is played like a fool, because the salesman won't even pay attention to him, lies to him, all in order to get to the top of the success ladder.
This play broadened my view of how the world works, and I know I don't want to be one of these types of Public Relations practitioners.
