Paradox: "By natural endowment, we are great rifle shots and hunters- but when hunting season opens there is a slaughter of farm animals and humans by men and women who couldn't hit a real target if they could see it."
This paradox shows that even though we are good at shooting guns and various weapons that we say that we are good at some thing when really we aren't as good as we say that we are but in reality we aren't that good in shooting and we could not shoot a target if it was right in front of us.
The connection that I feel that I have with this paradox is that even though I can shoot a gun we still do not hunt but instead we just go to the market and buy meat that was slaughtered on a farm when we can be getting fresh meat. Another reason I can relate to this paradox is because we used to have farm animals and we would just sell them off to some people and then they would slaughter them even though they knew how to shoot and hunt.
Paradox 2: "Our lives as we live them would not function without electricity, but it is rare that a man or women who, when the power goes off, knows how to look for a burned out fuse and replace it."
This paradox shows to me that even though that a lot of us are self reliant on electricity we would not be able to function without it, and also that it is really rare to find a man or a women that knows how to fix a fried circuit or burned out fuse to replace it.
I can relate to this because even though I am really self reliant on electricity to do stuff for me. That if the power goes out I would not know how to fix it even though I use it all of the time. One time I was home alone and the power in the apartment went off and I did not know how to fix. So what I did was I went to my moms room were the generator was and I went and looked at it to see if I could do anything. I had no idea what to do so I had to sit in the the room and read and you know how much you rely on technology.
