A remarkable man

At first, Berry's article looks like a just praise for Shaw.
However, I was able to find a hidden message from the article after last class. Berry praised Shaw's experience in the countryside, his philosophy
based on self-respecting and labor and folk-agrarianism.
On the other hand, I found critique on education policy in the U.S. which
pursue only top.
According to his article, Berry praises Shaw like this, "As a consequence,
he began to "to rise up," not to "the top". I think Berry criticizes education policy and competitive society without respect for human's life
in modern society depending on Shaw's claim.

discourse and power

Hidden power exists in our living.
Especially, I have been worried about commercials.
I think many people are subordinate to the corporation's strategy.
Unconsciously, they have been exposed to their intention which sells many products to consumers. As a result, the people seem to eat junk foods or drink harmful beverages like coke etc.
Further more, the people seem to be under slavery for the commercial corporations unconsciously. However, serious thing is that they don't recognize the problem. The commercials only attract them to buy their goods and make them . Therefore, the people have more and more changed into consumptive people. They rarely read a book for themselves, just enjoy their
life. I mean the life which enjoy their life is not bad, but the life
is not good for human kind. I think originally human being is intelligent
exist. If we consume during our life, the life may be vain.
Naturally, people like to enjoy in their life, however, I mean we need to
balance enjoyment with critical understanding about the our surroundings.
