Rough Draft: Slumdog Millionaire

            Danny Boyle’s Academy Award Winning film Slumdog Millionaire displays the epitome of a capitalist society and how the wedge driven between upper and lower classes can greatly affect what it means to survive.

I.                   The wedge driven between classes is due the expansion of informational technologies—neoliberalism.  The part of the movie where Jamal is taking the American couple around India.  Upon returning, the couple, Jamal, and the taxi driver see that the car has been completely stripped.  The taxi driver begins beating Jamal and tells the American couple: You wanted to see India, well here it is.  The wife tells the husband: let’s show him the American way—the husband hands Jamal a 100 dollar bill.  Shows the Jamal’s class is the lowest of the low while the American upper class can afford to essentially throw away $100.  

II.                Business sector has changed.  Workers no longer have control because outsourcing has allowed for cheap labor—telemarketing jobs in India.
