Random Rant:

Somewhere during the infancy that is human existance the first machines were invented. In 1793 slave labor is the primary workhorse for the driving economy. A device known as the cotton gin was created and instantly the scope and mentality towards human worth was to be forever skewed. Spawned from the need for high volume production, the cotton gin allowed fellow man to evaluate another person's worth and trade it for monetary gain in masse. The unraveling of society ensued. No longer was the value of a man based on their work performance or character, but their ability to perform a simple unintelligible task.

Where society went wrong:

This mentality has transcended through every generation since, allowing elements such as greed and personal gain to be at the forefront of every business large and small. When the value of a human is compared to that of a machine the machine looks more inviting at first glance. When looked at carefully however, the traits and characteristics that can be found within the human element are far more valuable a resource than any.
