This week was busy! But I had time to watch one episode of Hawaii 5-0, so that made me happy. I was thinking about how this show portrays people who are in law enforcement or work for the government and how intense and exciting it seems. One thing I noticed in particular was how quickly the bad guys get taken out versus the good guys. In one scene, the main character was getting beat, heat, and abused relentlessly but he still had enough energy to escape and save himself. On the other hand, all of the bad guys were taken down with one punch. I was thinking about how that shows the audience that goodness is stronger than cruelty. I think it also displays what we feel is good in our culture and what kind of values we share. No one wants the antagonist to win and so the people who fight for our safety and well being possess stronger physical qualities. They always come out on top. I found that very interesting :)
