Lisa Wilson Strick’s article “What’s So Bad about Being So-So?” states that‚ in today’s society‚ people are too serious to the point that no one does things just for fun‚ but only for competition. There are children who are acting like grown adults instead of children because they are so stressed out about being the best in everything that they do. Friendships are being ruined because no one is safe from today’s competitive edge. Strick’s article tries to instill the thought that we need to go back

The colonies or future Americans were in the right for their redemption against the British.

Ann Romney speaks about how her husband does not show the “real” Mitt and is trying to change this so that voters can relate more with him and see that he cares.
