Week #8 Commentary

a.
It is interesting that Mike suggests that innovation without imitation is completely waste of time
It is also interesting that Mike did the lamb castration by biting the testicles off
It is very smart for those land owners to step back and see where everyone else is going, and then they go another way

b.
Will the society still be productive If there are no people doing those dirty jobs?
Will women's protest on free trade work?
How the loss of jobs on certain field affect the country as a whole?

c.
The videos suggest that how some "essential" jobs are being belittled in American society, and the trade should be improved because of the development of technology. The lamb castration video shows us that people who do dirty jobs are often ignored by the society, the society only cares about the final product and outcome, other things like working conditions and how much the product costs do not matter. And the roquefort video reminds us that free trade should be enhanced, government should not put too much tariff on goods. The shop owner decided to protest by reduce the price of requefort while the government increased the tariff on it. The cigar making video demonstrates that because of the technology, many manufacturing jobs are replaced by machine.
