2. The material standard of living has increased incredibly but we have to ask if people are any happier?
This is something that hasn't been discussed at high school!

3. That doesn't surprise me at all. The duty of school is to grow up exemplary citizens in a capitalist society. One day we will consumerism being one of the essential subject at school! This is a counterstrike by capitalism, a try to fix weaknesses of the ideology of work.
The real wealth is nothing but disposable time. Within this "culture" of ours based on the protestant ethics, unfortunately many of us are blinded by the false rhetorics of the ideology of work.

4. Yiihaa! You say there's a difference between work and play!? I don't know nothing about it but I haven't been at school yet!

5. Dad, I think I'll opt myself out of the work life or I'll try to find short part time jobs. Or maybe I'll find a vacancy where I could work only 20 hours a week!
That's the spirit, son!

6. You there, who are still sweating at work, you should remember that a work time can always been used in a creative manner. We call it a sabotage. For example, this conversation of ours did take a place when we took a day off. It would be better if you too read cartoons like these at work!
