We watched it last week in class because of the recommendation of my philosophy teacher. Firstly I thought that it would be boring and really hard to follow, like all the things he normally shows us. But this video surprised me a lot.
Mr. Sandel starts a debate about the topic what money can't buy nowadays, because according to him, today nearly everything can be bought if we have enough money, even moral, civic and educational activities.
The fact that some schools even pay their students to read a book and so make them study is really shoking. I can't imagine me earning money for reading a book, if it was like this I had a lot of money right now. But I think that this method will never achieve the goals that they want, students should learn to love to read, they should have fun and be interested in what they read, and not only because they will get money for each book.
As simple as it is, there are just some things that will never can be bought. To have a passion for doing something you love, or just the feeling of loving someone or something are perfect examples for it.
In conclusion, I realized how we have shifted from a marked economy to a marked society and how necessary it is to change it.
