24

24

I used to watch a show on television named “24.” The show debuted in November 1, 2001 and it continued to run until it’s very last season in 2010. This show has been running for 10 years strong and I’m still kind of sad the series ended.

Jack Bauer is the protagonist of the show and he is a highly skilled Counter Terrorist Agent who might be even cooler than James Bond. He is the epitome of badass. Agent Bauer is the cool guy in T.V. if you ever had the opportunity of seeing him in action. He runs, he fights, he flies helicopters, conducts espionage, and he sometimes even tortures terrorists.j

Recently I came to realize that torturing somebody in real life isn’t the same as watching somebody get tortured in television. I always grew up think that it was okay to inflict pain onto someone else IF it was to save the lives of other people. That isn’t the case anymore. I’m just now realizing that Hollywood desensitizes the public, especially young moldable minds, to cruel acts of violence such as torture.

One thought on “24

  1. Hi Kurt, I have never seen this show before, but it sounds very interesting to watch! I agree with you, I grew up with that false notion of torture as well. It even showed in child play with other friends, we would torture each other to “win” the game or to find out someone’s secret. For example, the game “mercy”; We would torture each other until the other person screamed mercy and the torturer “won”.
