Issue #9 Nikki Nguyen

I believe that the "greed is good" mentality has good and bad sides. It can become overwhelming, but the motivation from it may create something very powerful. Businesses thrive off of this mentality. If this mentality is non-existent than countries like America would not be where they are today.

The negative portrayal of Zuckerberg shows how another person's success may affect the view of how people perceive that person. The movie showed that his greed for success became an issue with the one friend he had. He wanted something different for his company and in order to do that he saw the only way was to cut out his best friend. Maybe he saw it as the best move for him because the company was more important to him than a personal relationship.

Facebook has changed the way people communicate. Now you are able to find millions and millions of people with a click of a button. It is a revolution.

Zuckerberg's success is inspirational. It shows how such simple ideas can become powerful given the right tools. He accomplished something that others attempted and failed. Many people thought Facebook would become unpopular after it was finished being a "new trend", yet it is still growing everyday.
