How does Michael Sandel support the thesis that "over the past three decades we have drifted from having a market economy to becoming a market society?"
ReplyDeleteMichael supports his thesis by using the example of the money to encourage the motivation of reading.At the beginning market economy sell the idea of using the money to get the goods you needed to, but nowadays society had become that idea a key element in everything including lifestyle and values.
2. What sorts of arguments are offered for and against the assumed proposal of paying young children two dollars for every book they read?
For: It said that can be a good idea to pay children for every book they read because it can motivate them to read more and with the time check if they build a habit of reading.
Against: it said that if parents pay to their children for every book they read this idea cannot permit build good values on them in regards to reading passion.
3. Now, what is your standpoint about cash incentives at school or at home to encourage students to read more books?
4. In my opinion, it could be a good idea for beginners readers, for one purpose, children can read books that promote values and reflection that with the time they just will reject the money or maybe use the money to buy more books.
5. When Michael Sandel contends that "this tendency of markets and cash incentives of crowding out nonmarket goods, higher goods, can be seen in may spheres of social life, what sort of "higher goods" do you think he is referring to?
6. I think he is referring to a circle that does not have end, through the incentives people are maintained bussy buying things and then looking for a new cash incentive or another way to find it, something that is blinding students and people in general,we can not build values through this method, as in the title it is something that money can buy.

8. What kind of nonmaterial goods do you think have been crowded out by market transactions in Colombia?
9. I think the ambition of people has fed the market ideals, here in Colombia nowadays people are very aware of getting unnecessary goods just to please the new society.
10. What should be the role of money and markets in our Colombian society?
11. The role of money and markets should be a secondary context, just to get the things that are necessary to maintain a person and not to slave people in their jobs.
