Class Discussions

The discussions in class have had me thinking about the American Society today. Media rarely shows "normal" people on TV unless they've done something to harm the public. Rarely a "normal" person is shown helping people; such as donating money to a school or tutoring kids. Also, the media never recognizes teachers and all the good they do. The media would rather focus on the sex scandals with teachers and students. I believe this is giving our society a negative image to the younger, more influenced population. Teachers should be recognized through a positive view, helping kids reach their goals and ultimately succeeding. This is the society that I want to live in when I become a teacher. Somehow I have very little faith in that.
