Women and Children

Whether it's right or wrong we live in a patriarchal (man-ruled) society. While I personally believe that this wrong, all Western civilization has been this way for thousands of years. Although many people try to change this and create an equal society, we still currently live in a Patriarchal way. One example of this is how women, on average, don't make as much money as men in the work-place. As long as this is happening, the term "Women and Children" will still be relevant in modern society. The term won't be obsolete until that "Patriarchal" label is too.

Citizen Soldier

"Citizen Soldier" by Three Doors Down was one of the most ridiculous music videos I've ever seen. It was comical, yet disturbing to see the National Guard's skewering of the truth. They found a loop hole into glorifying war without sending out a malicious message. It was interesting how the video started off with two young men playing football before getting into the intense action scenes of war. It was almost as if to say, "If you think football is American, check out war". I also found interesting how it was always the main character saving a fellow American soldier. The National Guard would not dare hint at the possibility of injury or death in the armed forces.
