Compare/Contrast Paper Assignment

Class, compare and contrast the following essays/columns:

  • Kim du Toit's The Pussification Of The Western Male, which details how the modern American male is shackled and coddled by the State and society into a "civilized" passive consumer.

  • Val MacQueen's Tech Central Station column A New Stockholm Syndrome, which explores how Swedish society has become so passive that citizens stand idly by while a leading political figure is stabbed to death in a mall.
As long as the number of points of contrast outnumber the comparisons, we're okay. But I suspect the gap is shrinking.
