The other also effectively criticizes how ludicrous extreme ideas and forces of society are by providing a positive change about the way society should function. The reader can make a current connection to the text because as there are new forms of government forming and technology is getting more advances, privacy is decreasing and government control is increasing which makes the reader further understand what greater increase in government control could result in.

Wallace XCOM285 August 5, 2012 Jeff Tischauser Implementation report on tuition reimbursement There are several ways to expand employee benefits, beginning with health care and ending with education; however, companies question the benefits or education because of escalating cost associated with higher learning and its value to the company versus the associated risks.
