After yesterdays class on the views of Dewey and Lippmann with the comparison of the Occupy Wall Street protest, multiple things can be taken from this situation. I do believe that Dewey's ideas as well as Lippmann's equally share purpose for this so called issue, but also would like to bring up a point leaning toward Dewey's potential thought process (and Hockey).
Dewey may have said during this issue (at least what was discussed during class on this situation) that it would be portrayed as a positive in society. His views in my opinion are incredible liberal and the Wall Street protest also certainly seems like it is heading in this similar direction. Personal I believe that it is not right to fight for something that you as a individual know nothing of, but also want to give an example by using Hockey to express a point.
Prior to the Blackhawks being put on television or being good, no one in Chicago really payed much attention to this game (in less you were a true fan). Directly after this decision to put them on TV and pick many positive players from 2006 draft (A.K.A Toews and Kane), many people during this season tuned in (and called themselves so called Hockey fans (or Bandwagon Fans)). Eventhough these individuals knew nothing of Hockey during this season (and many Hawks fans still know nothing of Hockey) they were forced to learn the game.
In this way many people (must I add youthful individuals) have sparked interest in politics or if you want to look at Hockey have become Blackhawks fans. I think this is good for politics just like it is good for the NHL game and Hockey it's self. Surely Lippmanns ideas would also be feasible.. I mean honestly what are these protesters really trying to prove other then being unhappy with this situation. Really down to the point, ignorance is never a good thing. So basically this interest can never be classified as a bad because really you gotta fight... for your right...to party.. OH, and the REDWINGS are going for a NHL record of a 21 home game win streak!! Pardon me they already beat the record!!
