We All Want to Change the World

Lately, my family and I have gotten completely obsessed by M*A*S*H, which I know is an old show but it's so brilliantly created that I can't help but love it.

One of the characters that I am so inspired by - in terms of their ethics, morals, and behaviour - is B.F.Pierce, better known as Hawkeye


His stance on the war, on the world and on others is so strongly founded and so much in line with the views I wish to inspire unto others. 

Yes, Hawkeye is a womanising, loud prankster, but even though he mocks the war at every possible opportunity, he knows when to become serious and is the best surgeon at the 4077th. 


More than that, Hawkeye cares so passionately about the "babies", as he calls them, that he works on, because he sees clearly the injustice of conscripting men aged only 18 and thrusting them to the Front.

M*A*S*H is an inspiring program all around, and its values and lessons are still so relevant and resonating for today, especially when war and violence has become such an everyday part of our lives via the news etc. 

What shows do you think of as being valuable for today's society?
