He does not want to work in the so-called corporate world because of all the dangers including but not limited to terrorism and the selling of the corporate culture. The crux is that the father fails to see the hypocrisy of his avoidance of the corporate world and its dangers and the selling of his daughter, which ultimately occurs through the corporate world of television.
