Here is the link to my ideal American citizen, Shadley F. Broger. http://www.facebook.com/editpicture.php?success=1#/profile.php?id=1005106503&ref=profile

If you are wondering where I got such an odd name, it is the name of one of my room mates but some letters switched around. The picture is of him as well.

My ideal American citizen is a student here at Ohio State, studying molecular genetics. I feel this is one of the hardest but important majors that there could be. He is a member of the Republican party because that is where my allegiance lies. I know that the ideal political views would be someone who is not partisan to either party, but I think that is impossible in today’s world. His religious views are Rastafarian because I think this it the most laid back, relaxed religion that just takes the world for how it comes and doesn't let anything bother them.

As far as activities go, he is interested in a variety of things that I feel make a well rounded citizen. Golfing, writing music, and playing lacrosse are among those activities and I feel they allow Mr. Broger to engage in all types of things. I felt it necessary for Shadley to engage himself in all types of entertainment as far watching television and listening to music goes. He watches every day shows like Sportscenter and The Price is Right, along with weekly shows that range from 24 and Rescue Me to Laguna Beach and The Hills. Some of these shows may not be what most people would consider ideal, but this allows him to be knowledgeable in all aspects of television. I took the same approach when deciding his favorite music. The range goes from hardcore metal with Metallica, to some rap with Kid Cudi, all the way to some country and jazz with Taylor Swift and John Coltrane. I believe the ideal person is one that does not exclude any type of music from their listening pleasure and these artists back that up.

I took the same approach with books and movies too. Enjoying all different types of movies from comedies like Happy Gilmore, to classics like Forrest Gump and The Patriot. As far as books go, I don't really think the ideal citizen should have to waste time reading books because they should be out conquering the world day by day, but I listed a couple of historically popular books there. His favorite quote, "I play for keeps," stems from a popular Will Ferrell movie and is the way to live life. Although some of my ideas of an ideal American citizen may not be the same as most, I tried to have a little fun with this and create a well rounded individual.
