Four Horsemen Post

Lately this week we watched a movie called "Four Horsemen" in which in different ways predicts the collapse of the American Empire. The main causes are: war, famine, conquest, death. Also today the systems we have built had been questioned but, we had just accept the changes. 

Today the gaps between society are too high. In the world there is a lot of money and even though there still a lot of famine. "With so much brilliant knowledge, why we aren´t able to help poor people?" The film predicts the collapse of the American Empire, because we are in an age were luxry is more important than anything, the difference between poor and rich is high, and money devaluate more each time.

According to the film,  from all the money 97% is debt. Today every dollar is 5.25 dollars of debt. But they use sports to distract people from that fact. The banks get the money from the taxes all people pays. Then again is borrowed by the users of the banks. 

The question is, this would affect Colombia in either way? Well in my personal opinion it will affect. The collapse of the American Empire affect Colombia because today the world revolves around the US. From the US is where we recieve a lot of things, for example, today we received food from there. Also in our entertainig, the TV shows for example. This fact is not just to us to worry but to all the world because if one is affected maybe all could be too. This is something we have to worry because we could live in a peacefully life, but in the other hand if not we could live a though life. Trying to survive without food, and it is hard. We all have to worry about it.
