Not on Our Watch Discussion

Today's discussion in class was very well rounded. While listening to people's thoughts I realized that I had not though about that, or not thought about things that way, and made me change some of my thoughts on the book. One thing I thought was interesting was the comment Carl made when we were discussing the issue of the humor involved to add some sense of humanity, to realize that these are regular people committing these deeds. When Carl said that people like Don Cheadle and John Prendergast aren't regular people, they don't live the life of the average American, because they are celebrities. This then almost places them higher than society, resulting to be categorized as irregular. Before this comment I believed that these people were part of regular society, and were regular people doing these things, but Carl's comment made me think that, that is not the case, because celebrities are not regular people.
