I was kind of similar, though it wasn't just based on law and order. My parents watched a bunch of lawyer shows when I was a kid. I wasn't allowed to watch most of them, so I only caught glimpses. But between the little bits I saw, and the things I got taught in a Christian school, I had very clear ideas about what justice was and that justice meant fighting evil. I don't know if I thought defense lawyers were bad, but prosecutors were definitely the best lawyers, the ones fighting the good fight, the kind I wanted to be.

In college I actually started opening my eyes more to what real prosecutors offices were like, but I still had this impression that federal prosecutors were the good ones, and defense work still seemed a little iffy. THen law school really showed me what the law practice was like and what real justice was. I'm a completely different person than I was way back then. Same root desire to help people, but a better understanding of how to do that and a better understanding of the world.

On the other hand, it was media that opened my eyes to a lot of things growing up and started me in the right direction. Given my conservative upbringing, I was really sheltered. My parents were different than a lot of other parents of kids at my school in that they taught me to think for myself. I'm not sure they're entirely happy with the outcome of that. But anyway, the internet exposed me to sexuality in general, to LGBT things, to other perspectives than the limited one I was getting. Here I was living in another country, and yet it was the internet giving me far more exposure to the world than the real world I was getting.
