Week 11 - A movie that changed your opinion about something...
This would WITHOUT a doubt be Dead Man Walking. I used to be a staunch death penalty supporter until I watched this movie. Well, actually it wasn't just the movie. I was in college at the time and the movie was our film class assignment. I critiqued it in all areas and really started to re-consider my stance on the death penalty.
I won't go into detail but my main reasons for NOT supporting the death penalty; it is NOT a deterrent (Not even close), its not cost effective (believe it or not), NONE of us have the right to decide who lives or dies, lastly but most importantly...what if they're wrong? You can't tell me that somewhere throughout history, an innocent person has been executed. It almost happens quite a bit. Of course the public doesn't hear about it that often. A textbook example is here if you're interested in checking it out.WEST MEMPHIS THREE INNOCENCE
"The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves." C. G. Jung

As a health-care worker and nursing student, I thought I should throw this tid-bit of info out there...This blog follows all HIPAA privacy rules so you will never see names to protect the privacy of patients. Think you recognize yourself in a story? You don't. There are many, MANY patients and facilities out there in the big world!
