Trust No One

I hate politics and corruption. Inside Job is filled with politics and corruption about the recession of 2008. Politics and corruption seem to go hand in hand since the media mostly reports on the bad side of things. I know the world is not filled with puppies and rainbows but the world is not made of gray clouds and wolves. It would be nice to hear good things in the media about politicians and life in general.

Inside Job makes one wonder if you can trust anyone in the world. Money seems more important than protecting other people. Esteemed researchers, professors, and other people the public relies on lie and twist the facts for green paper. The people in power should be trustworthy people but everyone falls into temptation at some point. Trust seems pointless in this world. Well, trusting powerful people seems pointless. People are being swayed to write reports praising a failing system or to rate something higher than it really is. How can we find the truth in a web of lies and bribery?

Life isn’t easy. It’s anything but easy. Trusting someone makes you vulnerable. We have very little choice on trusting people in power. We do have a choice in whether we trust blindly or not. Charles Ferguson offers some hope in reform at the end of the film. But will reforming the system help us trust the people more? The system is flawed and will always be flawed in some way. There is no perfect system. All we can do is be cautious about what we trust. The question is no longer who can we trust. The question is what can we trust?
