The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

Rod Serling's quote has a deep truth known of society today and in the past. Serling is telling us how we as people can destroy or turn on each other with just a simple thought that a person may have. He explains to us how the most harmful of weapons aren't always the way of  having people to hate one another. In American history, white Americans had a prejudice towards African Americans, believing that they were worth less. With this prejudice evolving, it resulted with the growth of a fear among African Americans and harmful actions done toward them. Another piece of evidence that shows the thruth of Serling's statement is the Salem Witch Trials. A girl named Abigail and her friends caused a whole hysteria to break out among the townspeople. Her accusations of witchcraft came with the murder of people that had no interaction with witchcraft. I believe that Serling is teaching us a valuable lesson that we should take in consideration.

Good Night and Good Luck

Murrow's thoughts on television have a lot meaning to them. Murrow viewed television as a tool that the public people should use in their daily lives. He believes that the public people should know the news of what is happening in their surroundings. I agree completely with the idea that the people should be informed and let know the future of their country on television. In my opinion I think that Murrow would say that television today is helpful because it gives us news of our lives everyday. Murrow would be pleased to see the progression television  has had during these years.
