Anthem PLN
The conflict in Anthem is a man who doesn't understand that expanding is wrong, finds himself in a place where he is denied for even thinking about making bigger and better things. I would call this conflict a Man vs. Society conflict. He is one of the few people who understand that it is our individualism that shows who we are, not being mindless slaves where we think that the government is always right.

Serjeant, Jill. "Cirque" founder to host show from space. Thursday October 8th, 2009.

Laliberte, the founder of "Cirque du Soleil" is going to host a telivision show show from the International Space Station. He's trying to promote his cause, which is that there is very little clean water for some people in the world and that we can't take time to fix this problem. There are many super stars like singers and actors who are going to participate, but only Guy Laliberte will be in the International Space Station. The trip to ISS cost him over $35 million dollars. This doesn't personally affect me but I think it is amazing that we can host a show that is going on in space. It really shows how much we can do. But at the same time, $35 million dollars could've been used to help his cause instead of using it to promote his cause. It's amazing that we can do this but at the same time, the only reason to waste money to go up in space is for popularity, more people to watch the show, and a new milestone for the world. I don't believe that this will raise very much money for his cause, it's a publicity stunt and not many people are going to think about pure water scarcrity after the show ends. Though, I do think that this is a very worthy cause. This would probably save a lot of lives in third-world countries. This show can definitely change some peoples minds and really open there eyes. But, it would seem like the majority of people are going to watch the show for entertainment. It really shows how even famous people do care about the problems around the world. But, at the same time, using the money that he spent to make this happen, probably would've helped his cause a lot more than making a television show about it. I guess we will see what people think about it once it happens. It is supposed to happen Friday, October 9th at 8 o' clock p.m. EDT. On satellite telivision as far as I know, and on the internet at "onedrop.org".
