Bubble Burst: The Truth About the Dairy Farm: Greenville

Okay, so I'm still explaining chapter 2.  I guess I have a lot to say.

In chapter 2,  I briefly mention another country called Greenville:

We are taught that Greenville is a horrible place; a place full of judgment, lacking freedom, and without our modern material luxuries.  My parents say it is both dangerous and boring.  

Since this is a reference to chapter 2, I don't want to say too much.  Mainly, what I want to say at this point, is that the information those in Ekalfwons have on Greenville (if you didn't already notice) is based mainly on propaganda and to a lesser extent on stereotyping.

These two forces (propaganda and stereotyping) are used all over the world by governments to convince the citizens that they have a better deal than they actually do (Yes, including in the United States).  Lies have to be told about Greenville; otherwise many people would likely flee to Greenville.  Especially, those in the younger generation who did not pick which country they wanted to live in.  

While there is a physical wall (fence) stopping those who would want to flee to Greenville, the government of Ekalfwons realizes there is a much stronger wall they can build;a mental wall or a propaganda wall.  

Also remember the flip side to all of these statements which might sound good:

Full of judgment flip-side: People have freedom of speech, people can speak out and stop others from doing evil or selfish things.  

Lacking freedom flip-side: Those in Ekalfwon's enjoy superficial freedoms.  Those in Greenville have real freedoms.  

Lacking material luxuries flip-side: People in Greenville care more about people than things, there is more equality in wealth distribution.   

I think my next Bubble Burst post will be chapter 3.  If you have specific questions you want answered either comment below or tweet me at @KaufmanBooks.  Bubble Burst: The Truth About the Dairy Farm can be purchased below.
