    on in much the same style as in the homeland. A boy sounding his horn as he passes through the city led the cattle in and out to pasture daily.

    In the book “Watchmen” by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, it forces the readers to focus on an aspect that they’d rather not think about: the hopelessness of it all. That, no matter what we do or what we say, it will not actually stop major disasters from happening.

    through their personal authority rather than by arresting (Galeota, 1968). Today police behave like watchmen by exercising a great deal of discretion and ignoring minor violations.
