The Winning Days are Gone

Paul is procrastinating. It is something he does very often. He has a speech to prepare for tomorrow. He did pretty bad last time so he wants to make up for it. The speech’s subject is a controversial subject that is affecting the USA. Paul’s professor wants a good creative topic and not the usual controversial subjects that people choose. So Paul chose film ratings.

Paul watched the movie ‘Walk Hard’ and realized how america’s film rating system seems to have become more lenient. In ‘Walk Hard’, there were a number of shots that included genitalia. There was also many scenes with sexual contexts. He was horrified at first at the site of another man’s genitalia but at the same time disappointed at America’s moral standards.

And so, Paul is writing his speech about how the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) needs to step it up when it comes to rating films. For the sake of children’s minds and for the sake of America’s standards, the MPAA needs to be a little harder on rating the films.

Paul’s has actually thought a little more on how American culture has affected him. America can be the most violent country on the planet, always warring, always finding reasons to fight one another, but at the same time can become a leader for peace in the world. Paul sees individuals care so much about human rights in the paper with the Beijing Olympics and China’s policy towards the Tibetans that they are willing to put out a world symbol for unity (the Olympic Torch). Humans are so strange

And then Paul wrote a blog in the third person.
