I also enjoyed looking at the subject of American greed from different angles. American Studies has taught me to look at the way things are constructed. I used this knowledge to view the episode of American Greed. I noticed how the narrator always portrayed the people who were scammed as victims and innocent. However, these people had the same ideas as the scammers just to a lesser degree. It seemed everyone just wanted to get rich quick.
