These heories are, in fact, undeniable. Freakonomics presents, rogue economists that search for the hidden side of everything. By mid 2010, Freakonomics the movie published their big-break documentary film at the Tribeca Film Festival. There were substantial controversy about the film and book, being that the two were completely different. With patience, time, and effort here''s what I critically examined. Similarly, both Freakonomics the movie and Freakonomics the book did convey cultural segregation; the gap between white culture and black culture.
A segment form the Freakonomics movie called, "Can a 9th Grader Be Bribed to Succeed? " did not touched based upon in the book. Segments consisting of parenting in the movie were comparable to the book. Cultural segregation has many categories for such a vague topic. The authors did clarify one unique matter in both the book and movie, names. The book went in depth with the process of white cultural names and black cultural names, but the movie did sum up for the sake of timing. There is indeed an economics factor between the two cultural names.
Does having a white name makes you more successful than having a black name? Will Tyrone have the same financial future as John? Some incidents from the book was brought out to life in the movie, which gave the viewer a more visual concept from the readings. Both exhibits the question like, "Should I give into the prevailing norm or should I express my individuality? It''s a bit of a ethical quandary to face. The central message from the movie and film about names is that your name is determined by your cultural. Culture influences your decision on baby naming.
Culture, from the aspect of our name, defines who we are as a person. Not by the way we look, the way we talk, and the way we dress, but who we are as a person. Can a 9th grader be bribed to succeed? Maybe, maybe not. However, was a 9th grader bribed to succeed in the Freakonomics book? Maybe not. In the movie, two 9th graders were put to the test to see if they can succeed academically through their report cards with the incentive of $100. With 100 bucks you would think both kids will quality tor the reward at e en Well, not in this case.
One student in particular di n fact, bumped up his studying habits and strategically cut out distractions Just to get the $100. On the other hand, the other student did not do partially the exact same. The other student slacked, played video games all day, and continue to fail all of his classes. He did not qualify for the reward. This topic was not presented in the book, but the book did mention economical incentives. Parenting requires special psychic abilities. Hard decisions must be made. Sacrifices must be made for the baby. This is tough for anyone. It doesn''t matter what the income may bring.
Both the book and movie did shed light on how parents have limited authority on self-control and attention. The movie showed an example of how parents are changing in our current generation from the book. New parents look at other parents and copy them to become successful parents. New parents actually take the time out and buy millions of parenting books and they think it''ll help them with their child. Nowadays, parents play Mozart in the womb to get the baby''s brain stimulated. Parents take their child to a museum to make them smarter. Parents take heir child to a mommy-and-me class to have some sort of bond.
In end result of calculating and identifying data of parents doing miraculous things with their child, none of that stuff really matters. It doesn''t make your child better. It might make you happier or it could make your child happier, also it can make your child miserable. But it turns out those are not special elements in parenting your child. You can teach a kid as much information in a library. This is what the authors portray in both the movie and book. Both Freakonomics the movie and Freakonomics the book convey cultural ouched based upon in the book.
Also, segments consisting of parenting in the movie were comparable to the book. The behavioral problems implicated in today''s world of how, what, and why we do something. These ideas and actions orbiting our economy is the central core of Freakonomics. Freakonomics is strongly important for people to be aware of the hidden truth behind everything in a economical stand point. "Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work, whereas economics represents how it actually does work . " — Steven D. Levitt
