Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

ER

Because I am a nursing major and love and show that has to do with a hospital, I find myself watching the weekly episode of ER. WIth the War in Iraq and Afganistan, and with any war many soldiers who do make it through war often deal with psychological problems. Are our hospitals equipped to deal with all the soldiers when they start having problems down the road. Are show that our popular today that we find ourselves watching all the time like ER and House going to start featuring cases/senerios of people who were at war now facing these psychological problems? Right now we are trying to deal with it, but are we doing enough to make sure that we will be ready when we need to start handling all these soldiers coming back from war in the future? I feel like this is something we do not this of. A soldier can come back from war without a scratch on him/her, but are they really ok?
