Shelby Amato- Assignment 5

I don't think that a nobel prize is as worth our attention as the Emmy's. Our society is built upon fair distribution of wealth according to the importance of your job to society, thus clearly actors and actresses in television are the most worth our time. The amount of talent required to entertain the masses is miles above the abilities required to secure a mere nobel prize.

The glorification of scientists has gone on far enough. They cannot make millions of stay at home parents cry about children on Law and Order, they cannot make girls swoon over doctors on Grey's Anatomy, and they cannot make millions laugh over six broke twenty somethings living in New York City apartments in the 90's.

I'm tired of everyone pretending that earning the highest level award possible in science or literature or peace is actually difficult. Our focus on the Emmy's is entirely justified according to the effort necessary to the achievement. Go ahead and watch those hours of the red carpet fashion- do your country a service.
