Of course our campus doesn't have those either. Since 1988 the cables have been permitted to compete in the Emmy awards. The Networds are now screaming that this is unfair. Seems there's lots of this screaming about unfairness lately, as access to competitions is increased, and the competitions get fiercer and fiercer. Sounds a little like the complaint of the law schools at being graded.
Competition does spur achievement.
But this is one of the tensions of which Habermas speaks - the tension between the competitive achievement of the individual or the individual network or cable channel, versus the progress and growth of the community as a whole. Both sides do get mentioned in this article. Yes, but winning, individual winning has become the thing. We need to find the other fish. We need to find community again.
