NEW VERSUS OLD CULTURE

After reviewing the changes in old and new culture of the 20's what do you think are some of the changes between your parents culture as teens and yours. Come up with at least two aspects that you feel are different and the impact on society due to these changes.

LOST LIVES: DOES IT MATTER?

During the movie "The Lost Battalion" it is stated many times by the commanding officer that loss of lives are not important, the importance is the end result. Major Whittlesy on the other hand felt the loss of life mattered immensly. What do you feel? Is it the end result that matters or should loss of life be considered when setting up battle strategy?

Fame or Shame

Why do we hold actors and sports figures in such high regard? A recent poll shows that most elementary school students when asked to name a hero will name a actor or sports figure. However, with the recent steroid issues in sports, the "Brittany" saga or O.J. Simpson mess we must question why these types of people would be heroes. Should public personalities private lifes be held up for scrutiny for the public? What do we expect of public personalities? How do we (or should we) react when they do something that we consider wrong?
