I couldn’t agree more with your
statements. Rand surprisingly was spot on with how America functions and how
the elitists in our nation think. She also provides the argument that we
Americans make these generalizations that something minute can be extremely
dangerous, such as your example with global warming and when the science
community attacks Rearden. Honesty we can see the effects of Global warming
but, I feel as though we might be blowing it a bit out of proportions leading
us to make these unrealistic hypotheses of what our future might be. On same
basis the science community really gave no basis as to why Rearden’s metal was dysfunctional
and dangerous. As well, I enjoyed how I could constantly draw correlations
between today’s America and the one presented in the novel. Mainly the one
aspect that I found interesting was that of the successful business characters
in the novel. All of them had the same basis of idealizations. They all wanted
to continue to expand their wealth and they didn’t care how it happened, but,
that in the end they were richer than before. Sadly in todays society that is
relatively the same. All these business elites for the most part just want to continue
to expand their wealth and the path they take doesn’t affect them. This selfish
nature though can be what separate’s the successful from the poor.
