The Perils of Indifference

1. The Conflicts that no one cares about.


2. In Mr. & Mrs. Smith, they're both secret agents but for different organizations. So at first, they hide their real jobs from each other and pretend that they work for a local business, but then later are each assigned to kill each other.


3. The warnings Elie Weisel gives us in his speech can be related to the townspeople in "The Lottery" in a way where the townspeople would become the result of the people of the nation being indifferent about the wars, poverty, and deaths occurring around the world. He is basically telling us that if we continue to ignore these problems, they will eventually de-sensitize us to a point where we completely just don't care.

Kris, well written. The third paragraph was perfect, it helped me understand the concept more myself. I agree with you completely.

I disagree with Spencer. Your previous four blog entries have been excellent, and have shown depth of thought and creativity. You took the easy road in this one however and it is not equal to your previous efforts. Spencer, raise your expectations man!
