Die the Death of A Salesman

How many still die the death of a salesman? In my opinion, hundreds maybe thousands every day. Business back in the 1920’s was pretty rough, but I think business today can be just as rough if not worse. In so many situations today I see people get let go from jobs they thought were secure. Even before the recession, business is never truly safe. With the way the world is these days, everything comes back to business, everything is about business. From television to school, and everything in between, business runs the world.
With the country in the state it is now, business is defiantly not a secure topic. The recession we are currently in has put thousands out of jobs. My own mother for example got laid off her job a few months ago and is now looking for a new job. Since she got laid off, more and more people from her company also got laid off, and now the entire business is set to go under some time soon. This could happen to anyone at anytime from the looks of it. I would not want to be involved in business right now, especially in knowing that I could possibly lose my job at any time. Back in the 1920’s, I don’t think they had to cope with a country wide recession. I don’t know what I would do in a situation like this. Maybe I would look for other jobs out there as something to fall back on just in case my business goes under.
In short, I believe business today in the 21st century is defiantly more difficult to deal with than business in the 1920’s. The recession defiantly plays a huge role in making business more difficult. The recession has made it easier for people to lose their jobs, and therefore made it easier for more and more people to die the death of a salesman.

  3. It was a good idea to compare business today, with the business world of the 1920's. However, it would've been good to refer to some of the specific examples in the book that backed up your opinions.
