I concede that undue emphasis on cultivating the intellect at the expense of healthy
emotions can harm an individual psychologically. Undue suppression of legitimate and healthy
desires and emotions can result in depression, dysfunction, and even physical illness. In fact,
the intellect can mask such problems, thereby exacerbating them. To the extent they occur on
a mass scale these problems become societal ones--lowering our economic productivity,

"lessons learned" from such shows hardly justify the antisocial outbursts that the producers
and audiences of these shows hope for.
The dangers of a de-emphasis on intellect are all too evident in contemporary America.The

the level of distrust between African Americans and white America seems to be growing.
Moreover, taken to an extreme and on a mass scale, appeal to the emotions rather than the
