After reading Big Organic and thinking the relationship between Enron and the reading, I found that it is interesting to think from Enron's Rise to the fall. This can related to many things from what we learned in Ishmael.
First connection is in Ishmael, we know about the mother culture, mother nature, takers, and leavers. I think Enron is like the takers. Enron started pretty normal. However, the leader of the company become more and more greedier, at the end Enron is billions in dept. At last it collapse. Looking from this big picture, Enron is takers. Takers have their own mother culture. the mother culture we have was to gain money so we can have great life and that is what our dream is. That become a motive for Enron to try to gain more money. At last Enron collapsed because it is like leaver fighting back.
From my perspective this is how quotes "everything eventually morphs into the way the world is." and ".....conform the irregularity of nature to the precision and control of a machine." fit in and connect with Enron.
Another point is about how organic foods became a business now. I think this relate this to Enron is that many things started with a normal, naive, good view but at the end it become blurred. Organic food was good but at last Organic food is more of business in it. This is same as Enron. Enron started normally, however at the end it collapse because of their greediness.
In conclusion, what I have pointed out the problem is not only pointing Enron. This is pointing how our mother culture is and how similar we are to Enron.
