Elizabeth Chun, Chapter 8, Q2

In this chapter, what stuck out to me most was the pattern of things being done in the government or politics for reasons other than benefitting the people in the biggest way possible.  What resonates closest with me and my peers right now is the teacher situation.  It is concerning that the certifications necessary to be a teacher are increasing, when studies show that certifications are not what makes a good teacher.  This was similar to how capitalism's "incessantly destroying the old structure and creating a new one" and its chance to expand the economy is held back because of business firms and company's wanting to stay the same so they can continue to succeed even though this endorses weak and outdated methods.
