What does it say about our society that the Emmy's have so much glitz and attention and the Nobel Prizes are quietly announced in the news? Is this bad? Good? Appropriate?

Our society is becoming less and less intellectual. Personally, I would much rather watch the Emmy's instead of the Nobel Prizes, simply because the Nobel Prizes will most likely lack excitement. There would be no beautiful women, nice music, or flashy red carpet presentations. It would stereo-typically be of old men who smell of tapioca. Not only would it lack the zeal that the Emmy's have, but it would also be pretty confusing to learn of the achievements people made. I would probably not understand what the achievements were if I were not experienced in the field of the recipient. However, the Emmy's display television stars, who everyone has heard of, or they can simply watch the short playings of their work and get what they have done to deserve an award.

It's not that the Nobel Prizes are not as important as the Emmy's, but we as a society have become so much less intellectual that we would not usually be able to appreciate the Nobel Prizes, nor could we understand the reasoning behind them. The Emmy's, however, can be understood by most people, as it is entertainment, and provides a much more appealing look, since you've got beautiful people everywhere.

In conclusion, not only have we lost our intellectual sides, but we've become more shallow as a society as a whole. Heck, I'm not complaining. I enjoy beautiful people.
