Princeton University has become synonymous with American excellence and intellectualism. A member of the proud and prestigious Ivy League of American colleges/universities including Harvard, Dartmouth, and Brown, Princeton offers a very classy liberal arts as well as sciences and math education for aspiring scholars and educators and leaders of tomorrow. Because America invests so much in colleges and universities, it's perhaps revealing that the modern age of media and networking has seen a prestige-backlash come in the form of homegrown terrorism (i.e., high-school shootings), and films characterizing Columbine trauma represent our special American focus on the symbolism of anti-social behaviors created by modernism dilemmas.

We know from modern media that stories about terrorism and anarchy around the world related to the Middle East signal our problem with coordinating democracy with lifestyle in the streets and perhaps capitalism imagination itself. This is ironic, given America's peculiar command over the realm of education!
So where does this great green dragon of social anarchy arise in the American landscape and why can't we use a school like Princeton to affirm our national and cultural interests in social stability? Why does college prestige breakdown in the face of social rebelliousness?
Princeton offers modern students excellent studies in mathematics, history, literature, and medicine. Tomorrow's leaders know that today's students are becoming educated in the fineries of advanced learning. This is all an American pride, actually.
Princeton, like other American college and university campuses, is quite idyllic and fosters a very enriching educational experience. This is a nice home-away-from-home for budding brilliant students aspiring to become tomorrow's professionals and pioneers. It's almost an institutionalized form of camp-life. Princeton is considered American standard.
There are even movies depicting life at Princeton! It's a national phenomenon.
Today's magazine culture promotes a special kind of pedestrian vanity, which we see highlighted in modern consumer products and cosmetics ads on TV. Modern media imagination fosters a new kind of dynamic lifestyle. That's why we find a Princeton school-profile page on Facebook. It's really a magazine world now!
As education has evolved, so has social perspectives on what is dained to be educational and what is dained to be street-smarts. As media has created a 'cultural network' for convenient access, people have become more interested in the juxtaposition of institutionalism and lifestyle liberality.
Multiple Ivy League schools such as Dartmouth were founded to spread Christian education and the writings of the Gospels and the New Testament in America. The Christianizing of Americans is as important to American ethos as is the socialization of media access, which explains why political activist groups today even feature profile-pages on Facebook!
So given Princeton's ties to American consciousness and the development of a media and magazine driven street-smarts modern culture, why is it that despite America's erudition and Ivy League pride, high-school shootings remain the new millennium's most glaring example of homegrown terrorism in an age when terrorism highlights the major stumbling block to globalized networking and capitalism itself? The new century film Elephant looks at the psychology of the high-school shooting event and invites us to ponder what is really changing American diaries.
Will Princeton University become the proverbial disconcerting 'elephant in the living room' when dinner and party-table discussions about the modern problem of high-school shootings (homegrown terrorism) naturally arise? How are American gurus rewriting their scripts for the idealization of the prestigious Ivy League of American schools while high-school administrators are failing in their quest to harmonize young minds' healthy attitudes towards coordinating modern society with life values?
Let's examine how many more movies will be made in America featuring Princeton students/campus-life and how many will feature stories and images of high-school shootings! Who should get the award for modernism design?
