Finishing A Message to Garcia

Today we finished reading and analyzing a message to Garcia.  the main point of the Essay was that people are lazy and stupid, and he boss that has to deal with all of this stupidity is the true hero that needs sympathy, not the sweatshop workers.  The author also made it clear that we need more people like Rowan in our society,  people who do their task without question nor laziness and they do their task to the fullest.

Notes:

  • Written in 1899 during the Spanish American war 
    • takes place in Cuba
    • Pres. McKinley has Rowan, a military officer that graduated from west point in 1899
      • Rowan takes this task without question and does it to his fullest, he gets the message to Garcia without a second thought  
        • Elbert Hubbard thinks that more people should be like Rowan 
        • but most people, in his eyes are very lazy
        • people who are paid and can't do anything except ask questions or ask for help
        • Hubbard talks about people being stupid and lazy and useless and try not to do anything unlike Rowan
        • Hubbard says people have a sick will
        • is people should get beaten with the club or fired for in capability
      • Hubbard rights if you put out an ad for help you will get incapable person most of the time
      • Hubbard writes that if you ask a person to take a message they'll get drunk and forget about what he was doing
      •  Hubbard takes the side of the business owners and thanks sweatshop workers are 2 week and solved and homeless are homeless because they're too lazy to work
      • Hubbard thinks bosses should be completely in charge and lay people off until they get good worker
    • ideas about people being too lazy or still present today
    •  about people being too lazy or still present today
    • not all people are lazy and useless
    • a man of the world thinks that he could be a powerful balls but at the same time he thinks that he's oppressed and is too lazy and now he has no job
    • Elbert thinks that this man should be kicked and beaten
    • he thinks that these people are as good as "cripples"
    • the world is always looking for good work that carry a message to Garcia
    • if you work hard and are always a person that someone can go to the world will open up for you
