Four Horsemen

 The film Four Horsemen shows the main flaws in the economic system that have brought our society to the brink of disaster. The film criticizes the fractional reserve banking system, the debt based economy and political lobbying by banksand and how to improve it. It starts talking about the time that a succesful empire lasts. Empire lasts about 250 years, or 10 generations according to the film. There are six ages that define the duration of an empire. From the age of pioneers until the age of decadence goes the duration of an empire. 

If all the fundamental flaws continue increasing and being more evident the US empire will crash in matter of time and eventually collapse. The ecomic system and its flaws will be the one made the empire crash. And if this would happen in a future, it will affect the US directly. It will stop being the world first power, it will have tons of debts, and also it would stop sending and receiving all the things that make money for worldwide. It would be a total mess and the film shows the flaws in order to correct them.

Food Inc, Economic Hitman, Race.

The Food Inc, the Economic Hitmans, and the race videos are the ones that have all these similarities among them in order to show the similar aspects these 3 videos share and are discussing actually.Power is one main theme that relates each video to the other ones because it is a factor that can move out masses and chamge a lot of things in between the society. But in this distribution of power, there are some subgrouops in this theme such as Political Power, Social Power, and Economic Power.

The Political Power during this films is mostly shown by the companies of all this videos that are always trying to get through the governement of some other countries. They tell these countries that they will help them, the  countries accept, and after that, the whole country is in a huge debt. The Social Power is shown in the  race video, most of all, but it also is reflected in other societies of the other videos. For example the case of the white superiority that they believed that they were genetically better and some preserved that. And also, the Economic Power, that is totally involved in all of the videos. Like in the Food Inc video, all those corporations and entities hide all of their production processes to prevent the people really know how things are done. Huge debts, importatn decition making over poeple and even political entities.
