My Life With the Walter Boys is yet another example of a badly written show with poor character development; but sadly enough, its not the only one of its kind. Romance as of late in shows has turned into a bad apple, with many shows relying on conflicts between characters rather than character development. With many shows relying on conflict and awkward situations, even the outside perspective of romance in daily life has taken a turn into having weird expectations on romantic relationships and how they should be developed. Romance shows now have become less about the characters, and more on the shallowness and half-hearted dialogue of the actors.

The Super Bowl isn’t just about athletes anymore, but rather, it’s about the celebrities that are in the stands at the games that grab that attention of viewers. With the Taylor Swift effect causing an increase in viewings at the Super Bowl and recent football viewership, many platforms, and companies, have begun to gravitate towards celebrities rather than athletes being the stars of the show at games. Companies shouldn’t have favoritism with celebrities or athletes, but rather give them the equal respect and attention they deserve.

The male ignorance online of gender equality problems and dilemmas has shown more in media. From documentaries speculating on gender as well as podcasts, many of the males are shown to be unaware of many of the problems that arise with gender equality, and also shown an insensitivity to sexism. Some men even deny any need for change in gender equality entirely, and other types of online entertainment reflect many of these ideals that portray the ‘ignorance’ of the online male mindset and show a lack of respect and awareness.

Teens feel lonelier than ever in the world of online chatting, but not because of the lack of physical interaction. In recent years, interactivity with A. I. robots and chatbots, have increased interaction online with these digital friends, but not all of these benefits are positive to young adults seeking connection. Research shows that in teens there is an ever-growing dependence on these chatbots due to the emotional comfort and praise that many of them provide, but in turn causes causes ‘fake relationships’ and emotional dependence on the robots. As new developments in A.I. are continuously being made, there is concern about how these chatbots will affect the emotional dependence of teens in the future.

Physician-assisted death, a practice dating back to Ancient Greek and Roman times, has faced scrutiny throughout history. By playing a role in a patient’s death, the process seems to contradict core medical values of treatment and care. The unconventional nature of the procedure blurs the line between patient well-being and autonomy when medical and ethical values come to light. As physicians grapple with a battle between medical ethics and morality, patients are left to question their remaining independence at the end of their lives.
