first draft final paper

child- the start of your life your parents and pawning you off at the best most affordable day care

Being a child growing up in a capitalist society has many effects on your future life. Most families in America have children that they can not raise themselves. The mother has the kid and then spends every waking moment working to get enough money to give the kid food. The father is doing the same thing and never sees his wife. They never see there kid nor have enough time to spend with him. So they hire a nanny to watch the kid and be his real mother. But that’s only if you get lucky most families send there little youngsters to a day care center with a bunch or other kids that there families can not watch there own children while there parents are sucked into the capitalist world we live in today.

teenager- on the way up to your peak of your life you spend your life preparing for the rest of your life

During your teenage years teenagers are made to wake up early and go to school for eight hours a day. To learn things that will help you become a better robot to work better in the capitalist society. The peak of your life and the possibilities are endless and you have to sit inside take tests work on papers and be stuck in a lifeless abyss. Not only do you have to do this to do anything else in the capitalist society you get graded and chosen on what you allowed to do based on what you are capable.

adult- at the peak of your life you spend your life chasing money

Once you have been on the planet long enough for the social norm to call you an adult you have to jump into the “real” life. You need to get a job make a family and make money to be called successful. Nothing anybody does is good or worth it unless you are making money and fueling the capitalist machine. And the worst part is everyone wants to make money and continue fueling the machine. And people really get into it and they spend there whole lives in the matrix thinking that there lives are based on the money in there pocket and the clothing they wear, but really what is money? It is paper that says you have some sort of wealth to trade for things you really need like food and shelter. So if that’s the case why should anyone have more money than they really need? Why do people make money and profit buy selling food cloths and shelter? Nothing makes any sense but everyone looks past it like its second nature and no one questions it, because your no suppose to question it, your just suppose to go with it. But going with it continues to fuel the machine and not help you with your life.

eldery- durning the decline of your life you become a second class citizen and no longer needed to fit into the capitalist equation.

Once you are too old to contribute to the capitalist society you become some one who is just a waste of space in the eyes of the government. The only thing we give the elderly is a seat on the bus or train. And that’s about it. You get your social security money every month and you sit in your home watching television wasting away. There is no place that elderly fit in the money making equation. They are to slow to keep up with the daily 9-5 grind that most middle class robots do every day. And in our society we look at elderly like they have problems and they can succeed in our society. Most of them really have disease and are dying and can not function. But a lot of elderly people can fit in and help with certain things. Going back to the children elderly people like grand parents can help watching the youngsters as the parents sell there souls to the capitalist world to make a buck.
