1. My Dream for America
Eventually this only created a relentless cycle with a slim chance of being broken or stopped. This unbreakable, unstoppable cycle has come to be the world we know and ultimately have no choice but to love.
With the onslaught of media and technology, people are given little opportunity to take a break from their whirlwind lifestyles. We hustle about day in and day out worrying about what's to come tomorrow, by the time the weekend gets here, and at the onset of the next week, seldom taking time to stop and appreciate the mix of the moment. Savoring is not a plausible pastime this day and age. From time to time we come to our wits end and denounce how speedy and turbo-charged our lives have come to be, but in the end we come crawling back eager to pick up where we left off. It is becoming an expected part of growing up to lose respect for relaxation and taking things slow a little at a time. We want what we want when we want it, no bones about it. We have become slaves to schedules and itineraries, even on days when we are supposed to be getting away. Vacation has become a taboo to those in the midst of the saturation, and a curse word to those on the outside looking in. We have definitely evolved to a world of endless means, but what are we sacrificing in order to keep up with the flow? How fast are my generation's kids going to grow up?.
Part of the problem can be attributed to the fact that the media is everywhere, there is absolutely no escaping the blinding crush. In the hyper-specialized realm of American mass media, controlled by a dwindling amount of multinational mega-corporations, content is king only so far as it is able to move and sustain a certain level of profitability. Living in a market driven society, there is nothing surprising - or even altogether wrong with that - but in our day-to-day lives, this twirling, flashing, shouting attempt to capture our attention for a few minutes, seconds, moments has led to a glut of uninspired, unfulfilling media that's so close to us we barely are able to recognize we"re experiencing it.

Imagine entering a pre-industrial world full of mystery and magic. Imagine a world full of monsters, demons, and danger, as well as a world of friends, fairies, and adventure. Imagine finding a little hole in this world and out pops a hobbit. A hobbit? What exactly is a hobbit? This same questi...
Alexander Hamilton begins The Federalist 31 by presenting the primary argument of many critics against giving the federal government the unlimited power to tax. Before outlining these points, he states that there are impregnable truths in mathematics and geometry, and although not as definitive, there also exists fundamental truths in politics and ethics. In the realm politics, however, there are personal prejudices as well as "unruly passions of the human heart," which causes the citizenry to doubt even the clearest of truths known from past experiences. Specifically Hamilton notes, these tr...

The media, especially television, is anything but beneficial to our country; it has corrupted out politicians into bribing reporters, and scammed our citizens into believing half truths and whole lies.

If the television would not have caught on like it did our co...
