Dam Nation- The documentary Dam Nation is a multi-issue, semi-historical argument against dams in the United States. While it addressed many reasons why dams are detrimental, it did not discuss the any particular problem in depth, nor did it offer serious counter-arguments in support of dams (I don’t consider political stump speeches to be a fair representation of an opposing perspective). As a critical viewer, this biased representation made me suspicious of all the arguments. How can I accept the credibility of someone who won’t describe the whole picture?

Americans spent $374 billion on prescription drugs in 2014 with pharmaceutical companies having an average profit margin of 19.6 percent. Clearly medicine has become thoroughly rooted in American culture, similar to the essential place medicine holds in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In his novel, Huxley creates Soma along with other mind-altering substances, which the World State uses to manipulate the population.

He correctly anticipated that drugs would be used to control people; yet, in the United States today it is not the government that seeks to control the populous but rather the corporations seeking
