Important Video

I chose this video because I feel it is very important to the ideas that I am trying to get across. Women need to be involved in emergency services and with this video it shows the positives to the profession that these individuals have chosen. The interviews are very insightful and meaningful while showing a good side to the job.
For most of my posts I have been sharing the problems that women face inside of the firefighting profession. This post I wanted to change the tone and let the viewers understand that there also is a great side to becoming a female firefighter. These interviews show women and how they have come into the job and the great experiences they have. The video itself also talks about other minorities involved in firefighting and how happy they are with the decisions they have made.
In conclusion I feel that it is important to show both the good and the evil to a given subject as not to create a bias and to give every opinion a chance. This video is what my blog needed so that women do not fear going into emergency services and see that there is good with becoming a firefighter and there are women that are very happy in their profession. Women deserve their chance in the emergency services and hopefully more will come out for these jobs.

I was not able to upload the video but the address for it is http://www.fire2020.org/WhyIChoseV.html
