1. Henry Ford was controlling majority of the most essential industries in the period of economic growth in the United States right before the Great Depression time period. Ford attracted many people from Detroit with many promising offers of high wages and better lives, but the flourishing, successful company began to loose its popularity, sales, and good business overall. The misfortunes bestowed to the once thriving company all occurred due to Henry Ford's anxiousness to improve sales and worker's speeding rates and the fact that private police were hired to spy on employs didn't exactly help.
Life for the former and present workers weren't in a comfortable position either has employments increased immensely nation wide. They all had to suffer and make sacrifices in order to live and survive. 2. This documentary first started off with the better times the company was facing and had former employee families talk about the benefits for working for Ford in the 1920's. So for the first part of the film, I got the idea that there were going to be a lot of positives for working for Ford, but as the movie progressed, the famous car business started losing incomes due to people not being able to afford new cars during the time of economic disaster. So next thing that happened, employments were slowly decreasing as Ford was trying to lower the amount workers to save money and tries to have productions increased and faster with less men. I felt that this wasn't exactly going to help the company as the fewer people would have to work harder and a lot of people lost jobs. And these people that were losing jobs were usually older and middle-aged since younger people were considered stronger and faster. I feel that the Ford Company was ruining the loyalty of many decent workers who depended on this job to support families and to make a living. I think that too much mass production was the cause of all these as u.America got excited with all the new inventions and factories sprouting everywhere and got carried away with it all. 3. This film tells me that the Great Depression was definitely not the time and place to be in the U.S. Majority of the American population lost jobs and the atmosphere was overall just "depressing" and panicky. With all these employments occurring in so many factories and jobs, I feel that the government should have tried to improve the economy and increase and help people get jobs. But, in the end, the U.S. did learn from its mistakes and will hopefully not have to go though another crisis or dilemma like that again. The environment during the Great Depression seemed to be hopeless and tough as many people suffered during this time and had to accommodate through many things to just keep on going with life. Everybody was struggling through their own ways, but after the MANY obstacles the nation got back on their feet 1.To me, justice means the fairness all should get, being a human or animal, and the equality and equity treatment anyone should receive. To be just means to be honest and righteous and to be the kind of person that is dependable. But sometimes, to be just means to do what you believe if it's going to benefit and help others. I see justices in my every day life when I witness other students or friends help each other out in difficult situations and the good deeds people do to make the world a better place even when they don't know it.
