In the world of narrative, likeability is fundamental, being the replacement of the economy in a certain way, the more people like you, the better you get and the higher status you acquire. In the quest to please everyone, people change their personality to give a better image and obtain higher scores.]]> 2021-10-22 16:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836785484 a01640043 https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836785920 Having your bank account open to others would indeed resemble to what is shown in the episode, since the society would judge people by their bank accounts and not for what they are as a person.

They would discriminate people for how much money is in their bank account, this would lead to a bad society were people are excluded, rejected and given less oportunities in so much aspects, this already happens just that it would make it worse and banks accounts are not public.

Another huge factor is what cities or states are going to be the  most populated, we dont know what is going to happen for example, in 2100 or 2200, we may not exist anymore or maybe  africa is going to have the most populated cities, either way where are the most people geographically is important.

Another important mention is Covid - 19 , how is it going to develop in the next months or even years, anyway it is going to change a lot the economy since it has change not only that but almost every other important aspects of our lives.

One that represents this perfectly is the use of social networks to give value to people and the use of these as the economic system. Something that surprised us is how social networks in the episode represented almost perfectly how they are used in real life and how they affected people's personalities. During the duration of the plot, we can see how the characters changed their personality in order to please people more and obtain a higher score, in a similar way to how people try to give an image of a perfect life in social networks with him in order to get more followers.

However, we disagree on the use of approval and liking as a means of economy, due to all the complications that the system would have. Another factor that is also unlikely to us is the rapid decline that the protagonist had, because throughout the episode we are not presented with regulations that control the economy, causing it to be very unstable and almost impossible to regulate by the governments. .]]> 2021-10-22 16:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836786469 a01640043 https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836786606 In the show we can see that the more points you have, the more benefits you obtain following this idea at the moment that inflation is added to the economic sytem all the system is going to change, from that point all goods will increment their price over time, this would make the necesity of being liked by others bigger and bigger, incrementing the gap that exists between the most liked people and the less liked.

GDP-Considering that the currency is valued in how likeable you are GDP and the currecy itself would be very unstable, all relations regarding economy would not be fair since the people with most points are the ones that would control everything without giving any chance to the other part.]]> 2021-10-22 16:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836786606 a01639479 https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836786978 Social media is already a part of the economy, a big part of it since brands and all type of bussines got into it, there is a lot of money in social media, but it is not likely that society is going to be as in the show, there is too many countries and too many people that means a lot of cultures, laws, religions etc. A society like in the show would not be possible. Social media would be growing as a part of economy, more bussines and  negotiations are going to be done through it, but economy would not be "based" on social media at least for some time from now, and hopefully it stays like that.]]> 2021-10-22 16:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1836786978 a01639479 https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1837005255 Another film that makes use of another object in order to replace the currency to make a critique of the current economic system, is In Time. In this film, time is presented to us as the currency of that world, being necessary to get more time in order to be able to live. In the film we are presented with a different situation from the episode, while in this it was the same population who gave your own value and how much you deserve, in the film we are shown how certain institutions are in charge of creating that dividing barrier , using resources such as inflation in order to preserve the hierarchical system. These two examples show us how neither an absolute monarchy nor an absolute democracy are just systems that require institutions that are in charge of regulating the proper functioning of the economy, taking into account the needs of the entire population.]]> 2021-10-22 18:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/a01640043/pjkixlhjuqkufv3l/wish/1837005255
