Glengarry Glen Ross

Hmm...what can I say about this play?

I hope I'm not the only person when it comes to saying that I was somewhat lost throughout the entire play. The fact that there was some sort of unethical actions occurring within the play was my only clear understanding.

The characters fit themselves every well. Their behaviors & their acting for that matter could easily be labeled as 'over the top' and the amount of expletives used can easily have been filtered. I was not offended by any means, but I think the context & acting was just too much.

Overall however, I can say that the message that the play conveyed is similar to which people live their lives everyday. Making ethical decisions is a part of our daily rituals and at certain times, we come across a phenomena that can either resolve our dilemma or improve our finances, but it comes at the cost of another person facing a troublesome situation.

Morality Quiz

Took the morality quiz a little over a week ago and I find myself still questioning the method in which the test was distributed. I don't exactly agree with the final result given to me, the test undermines my level of morality and fairness.

Tests like these leave results to be completely unrelated to one particular person. Each person in this world portrays a different level of character of behavior and belief.

I can not see this being anywhere near a 'formal' type of testing method.

Dallas Cowboys 'Scissorgate' scandal

Simply put...this is one event that could have been easily avoided. I remember vaguely about this situation when it occurred, but I immediately put it in the back of my mind with a tag saying, "Another BS Cowboys incident, IGNORE!"

The questioning within this controversy is one for the record books for being one of the most spun information served to the general public. The Dallas Cowboys have lost their reputation for being a team with outstanding tradition and integrity.

I'm still a fan of the team, but some changes need to be put in place.
