“It’s Really Hard to Be a Good Guy with a Gun” by Adam Weinstein focuses on the issues that surround having a concealed weapons license.

No mass shooting in the past thirty years has been stopped by an armed civilian. A ‘good guy’ with a gun has never contributed to stopping a felon during a crime scene, so why would people

It also seems that in these stories, the “good guy” or the “hero” is not distinctly judged by others for disrespecting women and are often, despite multiple transgressions against the female race, still pitched as “good” characters. This goes back to the point that we discussed with the Conan the Cimmerian readings, where the lines between good and evil are sort of “blurred.” We have a character who is a thief, and who makes part of his living by “stealing wenches,” and yet somehow he is still not

Bad Guy vs Good Guy Hey Babes, so before I begin I want to thank you for taking part of Inside Life and helping me choose out this topic! I'm actually super excited to do this topic because I feel like sometimes us as woman or even men settle for what we think we deserve rather then what we actually deserve and that mainly has to do with what type of significant other you are associating yourself with!

The Road Essay In The Road, motifs throughout the novel formulate into not one, but several messages. “Still the good guys” and the “Bad Guys” develop a raging war against what’s right and wrong in this book. One message these two motifs perpetuate is that, there will always be evil in this world; but with evil, comes good. There always has to be a balance between the two.

We are the media and the media is us. That statement is very broad and is so for a good reason. Through out the world and the history of our society, media has transformed, melted, bent, molded and made our society and culture what it is today. But at the same time, our culture and society has done the exact same thing to media.
