Blog 25: Final (I will miss the class)

I want to start by saying this experience of the cluster was so amazing and I want to do it all over again if it’s passable. When fist started this class I ask myself, what I’m doing here. Day by day coming to my experience gained more that I will come home and tell my fiancé what would happen or talk in class. If I can turn the head of time I would do it to have the cluster. The people who made this experience wonderful I will like to include are the Professors.
The first wonderful experience I had was in Louis class HUC 130 class. I enjoy waking up Monday morning just to go to his class. The topics he chooses to talk make the students interesting in every subject. Some student hurt going to class on Mondays but I Know for a fact if they take Louis class they would not regret coming to school on Mondays. His class was basically about the Media and this class make think differently about the Media. In just the way they were present things to society.
However, the second experience is being in the Matrix. I watch this movie several times but when Dr. Smith showed in the class it was so different. He made view the movie in a different aspect and the way he made as think about being in reality or not living in the Matrix. I know this movie is all faction but the experience it was so amazing. In addition, reading the book “ The Matrix and Philosophy” is about the Matrix was interesting as well because they break it down in a better understanding for people to understand the movie.
In addition, the third experience is in Joyce class “American Film”. The first day I walk in the door I said it myself this class would be so boring and not in my led and I was wrong. They always say never judge a book by the cover which I did for “American Film” class. They journey was amazing and she made me see movies in a different way. Now when I sit down and watch a film I don’t just watch it. I will ask my question and know the different types of shots in a movie.
In conclusion, the whole experience made me see things differently. For example: Movie, television and the vertical world. I will always advise for someone to come out of their comfort zone and try other things. I took a changes and it work out for me. I will always remember this cluster as long as I live.

Blog: 24 final draft

What is a Coppertop? A coppertop is a strong battery, long-lasting alkaline batteries. We are catalyze as a coppertop because on how we are dependent on the system. Martine A. Danahay and David Reider argue that “The Matrix” is not a revolution and that the director use lots of tricks to make us be in the Matrix. I will have to disagree with that claim. The director did a really good job on how to present this movie and make his viewer rate this movie as one of most cinematic film. In my opinion, movie the Matrix the tricks are social class. Our mind is built in the system that we are blind from the truth.

According to Danahay and Reider in the book (pg 219),“This would make the human race in The Matrix a class of workers, the agent, and the guardians of capital”. I agree with this statement because in the film agent wants to have all the power and want to destroy all mankind. The characters are ordinary people finding the truth in which they been living in a lie and being plugged into the Matrix is getting power form a plant. Neo is “the one” which represent as a super hero, who is fighting break free from machine and agents who is trying to take over the world. However, according to author I also came across something I disagree with (pg 222), “ the Matrix is a dream world whose purpose is to control us”. In my opinion the Matrix is real because if you die in comeback in the Matrix you really die in human from.

There are some movies that can be compared to the Matrix but “Sleep Dealer” is a good movie to compare to the Matrix. “Sleep Dealer” is a Mexican production movie, which is interesting and easy to understand. The “Sleep Dealer “is about a young man name Memo living in the country side of Mexico on a milpa in Santa. Memo father was a framer. After his father gets murdered Memo went on a journey to help support his family and came across something unusual. Memo wanted to find out how the reason his father got murdered. However, both movies have the similarities in being plug into another world. The only difference is when you inter the Matrix you are still in human from and the metal piece is not in there back of there heads. Neo is “the one” saving Zion from machines that is trying to destroy them. In “Sleep Dealer” when Memo is plug in he is not a super hero. He is a robot from and working as a contraction worker.

Both of the movies have different story lines. Neo is a from of super hero fighting to save Zion and Memo is a contraction worker trying in militarized world and to find a better life style for his people. In the Matrix Neo wanted to know what is in the other side in the computer which he get his answer it was to much for him to handle and title was as “the one”. “Sleep Dealer” Memo wanted to be free because they was catalyze as terrorist. and they just want to have fresh water again. In the film they both show how technology is taking over. The way “Sleep Dealer” put class, work and technology as people who are low-middle class people who are trying to make living working in sleep dealer. Neo and Memo wanted to know answer, which they did. They both won the won the comeback and were successful.

In conclusion, technology is taking over and these movie are giving a heads up just to be inform in what is going to happen.

Blog 22: The Comparison of "The Matrix" and "eXisten"

“The Matrix” is one of my favorite movies. It has come to my attention people view this movie differently. In my opinion, the whole concepts of the movie make me think in a couple of years how the world would be like. Cynthia Freeland explains briefly about penetrating the character Keanu played as Neo in the movie “The Matrix”. Cynthia compares “The Matrix and “eXistenZ” and she claims that eXistenZ” is a better film then “The Matrix”. However, I want to disagree with this claim.
In both movies there is a so much you can relate with. In my opinion, “The Matrix” is much better and interesting then “eXistenZ” Both of the movies are between being the real world and reality. They share that whole concept being pug into something. In “The Matrix” the characters have a martial object be hide their head to be connected to the matrix. In “eXistenZ” the way they would get connected to the game is trough their backs. They have a hole in there back, which insert a pug that will connect to the game and deals with the flesh and blood. “eXistenZ” does not make any sense to me at all. I know there is some similarities in both movies but I don’t understand what is the game is all about. “The Matrix” in the other hand people can understand the concept of the movie.
“The Matrix” is basically about machine and agents, which is destroying all human and trying to take over the world. Neo is the main character which is the one who defeating them. Neo was unplugged to save Zion.

Blog 19: The game of live

This game is basically about the level of life and it would be board game. The board has lots of color and funny shapes. As you see in the “Performing arts library” have level three you see different things and it is easy to get around. The board game would be easy but difficult at the same time. Because you really have to pay attention to every and try to remember what your playing. Each player has to identity and names what they see in the “Performing arts library” level of life. They have three levels, just like life. The levels are being as baby, teenager, and an adult. As soon you work in the library the first things you see is DVD’s and they represent as our parents and we are the watcher. The books represent as getting answers to your question, which what parents do. They will answer each and every question you are looking for. Level two is basically about none circulating collections that have scores of Movie and Broadway shows. In level the player have to evaluate which Movies or Broadway shows had the most rating. Level two would not be easy getting to the next level. The board game of life would refer to life, people always scoring you on how you look when you become a teenager. In level three is where you Research Center. This level the player would get a chance to research one particular Movie or Broadway show they remember on level two and give a brief description. Now the game is easy to understand, all you have to do to reach the other level is simply describe what DVD’s are there. The game would continue this why until you win by giving description in what do you see.

In class I am going to do some research on Haiti. I really don't know how I'm going to present itmy worl but I'm thinking on doing a video. The presentation has to basic on media. The media is always showing the bad part of Haiti adn it is such a beautiful country.What I’m going to do is give a little history and show people how Haiti really looks before the acquire earthquake.I hope people like it.

Reporting out: I did research on the history on Haiti and I found things thats I didn't know about the country.

Blog 17

My final project would be on Haiti. The reason I choice Haiti because it my parents native country. The way the country just fall apart after the earthquake was really a catastrophe. I visited Haiti so my times these pass year and the way they would describe it on television was sad. I love and enjoy going to Haiti. I just want to have the opportunity to show people how Haiti look for and after. This was a beautiful Island and I can't wait.

Blog 16: "Living in the Matrix"

I believe that we are living in the Matrix and I am going to explain to, why? When we are born we come out to the world as babies and grow up to be adult. While growing up our parents put in our heads girls wear pick and boys wear blue. This is like being in the Matrix and not knowing if you are living in it. Do they really have evidence that what people are suppose to be wearing? This is an act of belief and claims. The book “The Matrix and Philosophy” by David Mitsuo Nixon make me second guess what is false beliefs and the truth. We are left in the shadow somewhere hidden from the truth. If we don’t step out of the shadow our eyes would be fled with darkness and no hope of the truth.
As a child my mother always told me there is a god. He had a so name Jesus who was sent here on earth to pay for our sins. How do you know that he dose exit? How do you know Jesus is black or white? Form born this is how they program our head and keep from the reality of truth. People don’t realize what is real or not. According to David, “For a belief to genuinely count ad knowledge, it must be justified” page 31. In my opinion, out knowledge or the way we think can be justified to what we believe that can be false. People always believe lies other lie but when someone is telling the truth they will never believe it. This is when the Matrix came along and as us from the whole they had trap in. Our minds are built in believing in something that can be false and actually is true.
However, human don’t have the sense of something of something I came across, maybe someone else out there can understand the way I do. We are control by our own machines that we built with our bear heads and realize it. They are the ones who we need to be aware of controlling our minds with false information. They are controlling our daily move. We need to unplug and get the real world of truth. The world of the Matrix is fled with hope and truthiness.
Neo can be an example of someone that was living in a world of false beliefs and was pull out of the pod of pink goo. This is when the reality hit him which it was hard for him to handle. There are people who are still in plug. For example, I grew up in a catholic home, and my mother always told me being catholic is the only to heaven. Which me the other religions are bad and they are not going to heaven. The bad thing I about, I use to believe it and when I got unplug the reality came out. This was not her flat; it was just the way her mind was programmed. Imagine living in a town that only believe white people are evil and when someone break out of that chain and realize it was all false. How would you react to that shack? Well, that’s how Neo felt when reality started to hit him. Noticing all your experience was untrustworthy and fled with false beliefs. It had come to attention that false cannot exist without truth.
In conclusion, the way the world is today is so different and the quality of live has been enhanced. The way people eat, breath and sleep are different. Yes, they still have people out there who want to be fed up with false information but the world today is living in Matrix. Their eyes are open and there is no going back. The reality is right in front of our eye and we just need to unplug ourselves. I know I did and it is the best thing can happen to me.

What television doing to the young minds
Action! Action! Read all about it, A 15 year old boy named Michel Brewr was light on fire intentionally by an argument over his father bike. Three suspects are minder form the age of fifteen and thirteen. This accident happen South Florida, Miami in October 13, 2009. Michael Brewr is an adverted kid. He loves to scat, play video games and hangout with his friends. Sixty-five to eighty present of his body get burned. How did a teen would come up with this idea to use flammable liquid and set a young boy on fire? (“Attempted murder charge after teen is set on fire”) . I feel the crime rate on teen should be blamed on the media and television. When television was invented by John Logie Baird on the 26th January 1926 - First true television demonstrated and a year later in 1927 the "phonovision" system of recording TV. When children were sitting in front of television, they look hypnotics and frozen. Now a day, televisions are too graphic and show too many details. Teen thinks violence is the only way to deal with situation or just fun.
Who else to blame with this catastrophe going on the media/television or parents? In my opinion, I highly believe it is the media/television. When I was growing up television wasn’t the way it is now, time has change. Television promotes anything from violence to real life stories, you call you name it. They had family show that family could relate to. For example: Full house, Family Menders, and Growing pain. These shows were none violent and helpful young view. One of the earliest known teenage female killers wasn’t even a teenager. Mary Bell strangled a three-year old boy and four-year old boy as well just because of kicks in 1968 at the tender age of 11. . Later on in Australia 2006, a 16 year-old “Collie Killers” tied murder just for, strangling and suffocating their victim. What children in their right mind would think strangling someone else is fun. This way of action must be documented somewhere which is television. Watching television children may be more likely to behave in aggressive ways toward others because they little mind it seems alright. In reality it’s not. Life is getting hard to support a family because parents need to work two jobs sometime. Leaving children at home without any supervision they would rely on television to keep them entertain.
Television has many efforts on child. Children don’t understand the meaning between rights from wrong until the person whom supervises them would teach it to them. In my opinion, it is not right televising violent programs while children are still awake. Violent shows are bad not only to children but also to society. People who watch violent television shows want to imitate the television life. For example: action movies and cartoon programs affects our children negatively. Parents who have children need to restrict their viewing of violent television show and need to start with reality show.
A most resist accident that requires, a 15 year Josie Ratley was severely beaten after texting Wayne Treacy age 15 making a remake about his older brother recent suicide. Joise was beaten so badly that she in a coma for three weeks. Wayne Treacy allegedly punched her, kick and stomped her head with steel toe boots. The worst thing about this incident were a young girl age 13 name Kayla Manson knew what Treacy was about to go do to Josie but did nothing to help. Where did a 15 year-old learn how to do these things? This incident happened in South Florida. (“Fla. Teen Beating Victim Coming out of Coma”). . In my point of view, these young teen are watching reality show and these show put in their minds that it alright to take out your out of violent. What happen to school Canceller? What happen to talking to parents about what is going in school? No, reality shows teach young teen to take the matter in their own hands which this would make the situation worst in what it’s really is. A thirteen near fifteen year-old should not be sitting in a jail cell not enjoying life. They should thinking their tomorrow and giving their parents dating issues. However, children in my opinion are copycats. They will imitate whatever someone else would do. For example: when a child is born in a violent home, most likely they will be violent as well or become a serial killer. There is a show name “Locked up” broadcast on MSNBC which example every detail why the inmate is in jail. I know it would be good to know what kind of people we are among but there are children whom don’t need to know these things. I don’t think this information would endanger young minds. The way they put the show “Locked up”, the inmates are happy and it seem like a good place to live which in reality jail is a place of cold and loneness. Imagine when a child is glued in front of a television and absorbing everything you watching.

“Sunrise” directed by F.W. Murnau
Sunrise is an American film directed by F.W. Murnau in 1927. In this paper, I will prove how lighting and special effects are portrayed connected to good and evil in the movie. In the being of the movie the people was with full life and happiness. However, it fades out to the sequence of the city woman in shot A, which was getting ready to go somewhere. The lighting was dark and mysterious. The city woman was smoking a cigarette, very pretty, slim and with short black hair. When the city woman was going to her secret rendez -vous, she pulls out a colorful dress but instead choose a black dress. The lighting was a little dark, which shows what the city woman is about to do is wrong. The director was showing to his viewers the dark and edgy look of the city woman. The city woman goes on her secret meeting at night, which appears to show her evil side that is waiting to happen. In shot B, When the city woman was getting closer to the house where the husband lives the lighting gets darker and cut to a (MLS) medium long shot inside the husband house. And then cut to a (CU) close up of the city woman calling her secret affaire.
The husband is in a chain between good and evil. In the sequence of the house whole of the husband, when he appears to look in the window his wife comes out the kitchen with (MLS). The lighting was a little dark because the mood, atmosphere, and reality of the husband wasn’t focus on his wife and child. The wife has a sweet and innocent look, hair pull back, blond hair, and covered up with clothing. The husband was tied between good and evil. The good woman is his wife and the evil woman is the mistress. While the city woman is waiting for her lover, the husband looks in the kitchen, then look down with shame and guilt. The lighting gets dark at that moment and show confusing on the husband face. The director was showing how the character, which is the husband is being seduced by his mistress. In that sequence the lighting on the husband face, one side was dark and the other had light. This also proves my good and evil in the husband. Cut to the outside where the city woman is standing in the dark for him. The husband appears to the window in a dark shadow, which the shadow pointed the direction to the swap to inform his mistress where to go. While she is leaving, the lighting bland in with the black dress and fair white skin as if the city woman is leaving her tracks for the husband. This is associated to how human can be possessed between good and evil without even knowing.
While the husband is walking into the swap and toward bushes, his body language was changing. The lighting was dark and mysterious. In the sequence of shot A in the swap, the husband really reaches to the city woman, they stared into each other eye and found with a passionate kiss. Then it cut to a shot B where the wife is home grieving of her husband leaving late at night, with a (CU) of her face showing tears that coming down her eye. The director was showing parallel editing. In my opinion F. W. Murnau was pointing out the good wife wanting for happy to be with her but he rather is inference by an evil spell from an evil woman. If he wasn’t passion by her sexual ways, he would be home with his wife being carefree and loving his wife instead of the city woman. However, It went back to shot A with the husband and the city woman. In the sequence of the shot, its shows the husband is in total control of the city woman. They are lying down in the swap, the husband is in bottom while the city woman is on up. In the lighting of the shot the face was dark and the city is pale which have an evil look in her eyes. The lighting shows the power she has over him. The director also uses a special effect when the city woman asks the husband to drown his wife, to be with her and move to the city. The director wanted to show his audience the illusion the husband is having killing his wife. The city woman wasn’t scared of the husband reaction toward her decision of killing his wife. The possession led him to put his hands around her throat, which he was attempting to strangle the city woman. The city woman wasn’t afraid of his deviances act because she was evil herself.
In addition, another special effort that acquire was associated with the city woman brainwashing the husband in how the city would appear when they are finally moved on together. She is convincing something from not real to reality, which the husband is being seduced by her evil doing. The way I would descried, the city woman as sexually aggressive and murderous. After having dirty sex with the city woman, when the husband is leaving the swap and heading home. The evilness just drowns the husband to be dark and sneaky.
After all of this negativity with the evil city woman, the wife was full of excitement in finally having the change to spend quality time with her husband because this feeling she hasn’t had it in a long time. The wife doesn’t realize her husband is not human. Her husband is being posses by a evil woman. The couples were “they used to be like children, carefree, always happy and laughing” but now he is under an evil spell by the city woman. When the wife is running to enjoy her evening with the husband the lighting appears to be full of love. There is something I notice when the couple’s dog was braking like crazy. The moment she was getting ready to leave with her husband to go on the trip. In my opinion, the dog scene something wrong is going to happen to the wife. The dog was chain but manage to break free when the boat moved.
Throughout the boat ride the husband didn’t have any eye connect with the wife. The lighting in the boast, the wife was full of brightness and the husband side was completely shown with rage of murdering his wife. When the husband brought back the dog to the house it the sequence cut and want to a (MCU) medium close up to the wife with a exposition of confusing in the way her husband is acting unusual toward the dog. Furthermore, the sequences cut to a (LS) long shot coming down the path to get on the boat. This sequence was so powerful and affecting. The way, the husband transforms into a dark brute when he rises in the boat while the wife remains a white light of virtue. The wife was looking for eye connect with her husband but the eye connect wasn’t there. When the husband stops the boat and finally made eye connect, around his was circle dark and blind by a spell. Having a (CU) of the husband face, it cut to the sequence when the husband is standing in the boat about to strangle his. In that sequence (FS), the language on the husband body told it all. He had a hash back as if he wanted to get rid of her as soon as he can. When he was about to approach his wife, the grief on her face, didn’t let the evil spell get the best of him. When it is true love, it is not easy broken by any negativity.
However, I want to point this out. The wife was afraid of her husband action but when he was in the rendez-vous with the city woman. His aggressiveness didn’t fair her at all. This show how good and evil can have clashing focuses, but in the other hand goodness would win the bottle. When he was release being under the city woman evil spell, he begins to stand up straight. Throughout the sequence in the restaurant, the husband is trying to get forgiveness from his wife. His head was down with shame and embarrassment.
What made a big turning point on the action the husband was about to attempt was in sequence of the church. It show the successive side of the husband which the goodness of his wife beings. There was a wedding going on so they decided to attended the wedding as well. When the priest “God is giving you in the holy bonds of matrimony a trust, she is young and inexperienced. Guide her and love her, keep and protect her from all harm. The sequence cut and want to a (CU) of the husband emotion. The husband broke down into tears and asks his wife for forgiveness. The wife does forgive him and was gazing into each other eye as if was a band new day of happiness and joy. When the good focuses can back to his scenes the husband get his can shave and was a totally different person. The bad negativity was gone away and back was his happiness. The lighting changes into brightness of love and protection. They had the time of their life. When the husband is transform from evil to good. He is more presentable and confident of himself. When the wife has her husband the way he uses to be. She started to open up and enjoy the coming back of her husband.
In conclusion, Sunrise was visually stunning, innovative, experimental, poetic, brilliant etc. Sunrise is not only the greatest silent film ever made, it's arguably the greatest film ever created on American soil and is undeniably amongst the greatest films ever made directed by one of the greatest and most influential directors to ever live, F.W. Murnau. I will never thought at the time the director mind would be so creative in this way in film. Good and evil are focuses are always among us. The director wanted to show when someone is surrounded by evil the focus would drive that person to be evil as well. When someone is surrounded by good that person would more joyful and carefree. This film shows it all in lighting and special effects.

My goal for today was to research on teenager violent killing and I came across some sad ones. I started on write my paper but I'm still a little confuse on how I'm going to use the information I find out.

Blog 11

My claim on the violence increasing in teenagers these days are to blame television. There are other sources as well like movies and music. To prove my claim I need to know the exact history of television and media. Reading about the history of television I never knew television came into being based on the invention and discoveries of many man and scientist. The first model was in the med 1935 called "Mechanical Television Era". One of my reasons to back up my claim is television show to much detail in graphic killings and show how they cover up there trask.When I was going up watching television was educational in the late 1980’s and now I don’t know what they are showing these young kids growing up.

My refection on Howard ad.

Writing is a lot of work and it is not easy. Howard had some good details but he need to expanded more. The longer the better. What I am trying to say is if he take his time and explain everything that was going on in the ad. I think it would much better. I had the same problem and it was had breaking out of it. Now, I have the hand of it and I see my essay is getting better.Practice make perfect.

My refection on Nida Safdar ad.

I like reading what ad Nida choose on lips gloss. She got into details and explain everything that was on the ad. I didn't she no grammar problem and her writing is good. I enjoy reading Nida ad and I was hoping for it not to end.

My experience on reading these ad.

I was in ENG 099 for three times in a row because of grammar problems. When i took it for the third time i said to myself, I need to fix the problem I'm having so I can move on to ENG 101 which I did. Going to the writing center help me a lot. I was having the same problem Howard is having in his writing. He doesn't get into details and that what you need to be able to pass ENG 099. Nida writing is perfect in my opinion and she would pass the exit exam if she write the same way she did in the ad she chosen.

2) Louis class is very interesting, having the opportunity to listen to everyone opinion in the way the media works is so amazing. In our mid-term paper he wants us to share our opinion on what is going on in the media which is affecting children in becoming violent. He wants us television of our main evidence not internet or magazine. My initial position is the media need to have more educational shows that are watchable. The source I would use is the internet and research on how they came up with reality shows. The whole media need to change because television is not the same anymore.

In the last two week I really learn a lot of different tings. I'm not really into media or studying about films but being in in class drove me in to it. I never thought this course would be this way. Being in this class I never realize media is all around us. What I like the most is when I went on a file trip to Museums of the Moving Image yesterday and it was so amazing. I experience how people from the early 1900s watch movies big flip book, so this class . Everyone in class is very active and talkative and I learn something new each time I come to class. Being able to sit in a classroom and watching old movies from the 1900s is a enjoying journey for me. This is what learning is about.

The movie “The Matrix” show the meaning of real and reality. The first time I saw “The Matrix” I didn’t understand it and I watch it a second time which was an amazing movie. Human now a day does depend on machine too much. For example, computer and cell phones are a second brain to some people. People do even to research at the library anymore because goggle search give them all the answer their looking for. In my opinion machines will run the planet and people would be their slave in the cave held captive. I was watching an animated movie call WALL-E which was a last robot on earth, fulfilling his programmed clean-up duties for year on end and then he find love and dream and file off across the galaxy. Making a long story short machine took a group of people and hides the truth from them. The connection I’m trying to make with “The Matrix” and WALL-E is being controlled and missing leads the truth with the real world. I realize after watching “The Matrix” and what Morpheus said the matrix is all around us and it’s true. For example everything people do, we are being watch. If someone sent a noon picture of themselves by email they will now that. We are being control without being knowing. The movie makes me think differently because there is a lot of secret and they don’t want to share with us human. In a few years the world will be control by AI (Artificial Intelligence).
The symbolizing of the movie could be referring to the bible. The way they establish it is rewriting it in a more vertical way for a better understanding in those that don’t believe in a creator. Morpheus is the one that was sent by God which is the oracle. In addition, Morpheus will have a task to local Neo who is the one that will save the human from artificial intelligence. The question I would like to ask is why would they have a red pill and a blue? I know if I was that position I would want to know the truth, which wouldn’t. I don’t think race was a problem in the movie. I think Neo is black and white. The reason I statement that because in same culture believe Jesus is white and our half believe he is black. Sexuality and gender characterize the characters in the movie in same level. Morpheus stated something the movie that get me thinking which was true “the people are so built to the system they are not ready to be unplugged. They will fight to keep it alive”. Human don’t understand when they are kept in the dark and they would fight to keep that darkness alive. We need to on our eyes and let “The Matrix” guide as along the way and the truth would set us free.
The red pill was the best choice Neo would ever done to help himself understand the meaning of what is real and reality. Why did they choice red or blue pills? Do they have a meaning be hide these colors? Reality and illusion are very different. There are people who are living between reality and illusion. I would to love in the matrix because it’s full of hope and accomplishment.

What is Truman Syndrome?
The meaning of the Truman syndrome according to the web site wisgeek is a form of psychological delusion in which the patient believe that he or she is trapped inside in a reality television show, or that people are monitoring his or her move. In my opinion, the reason most people would have this syndrome is because the world is full of unhappy people. The only way people would be happy is by created a world that doesn’t excite. Sometime I wish my life was a television show because it well be prefect. I won’t be able to stress out or have a nervous breakdown with my everyday life. I think woman is the most people who suffer with this syndrome. The reason I made this statement is because woman enjoy watching soaps. They would never miss a show. While watching these shows in my opinion trigger something in their brain and make them think they are also in the show as well. I feel society is the one at flat because they are the one who are putting this kind of unreal show and people live in a fantasy world. The first reality show that the came out was “The real world” and this was the best thing they would ever bring in the television network. The web site I found my information is www.wisgreek .com/what-is-Truman-syndrome. While reading the information they provide to me made me think differently. I never thought I suffer with this Truman Syndrome at times. When I was a little girl I will imagine being part of the family in the hit show “The Full House”. At times people could act a way watching a television not noticing the Truman Syndrome is coming true. I think this web site is trustworthy because it explains everything briefly and it is easy to understand.

Blog # 3 " The Truman show "

The world is created between what is real and reality. Most people want to live in a fantasy because they want their life’s to be in a certain way which have a house, family and nice job. In reality our life is what we make it come out to. Imagine if everyone in the world was born intelligent and everything was perfect. People would not know the meaning what is good or bad. Society would be in a straight line, not balancing out what is the difference between what is real and reality.

The movie, “The Truman show “is a good example living in a fantasy world. Taking over someone life and creating something what it supposes to be is not the answer. When Truman starts to analyze and understand that everything around him was encounters and made discover the truth. The way I would process the world is we need all of these negative from people. This way the society would grow and be a better place. Living in a prefect would not be able for society explore the world and learn the different kind of life styles. People would not the different kinds emotion and how to help someone

Blogs 2 "Allegory of the Cave"

“Allegory of the Cave” falls in between nature and nurture. The example “Allegory of the Cave” was giving was if you take a group of people and held captive in a cave the only they will be amole is the shadows. These people only interact with the chain and their own shadow. The only thing these people are use to is that can of environment. If the chains get broken and they were release to the real world that person would feel tortured. Nurture is the effect the people in your life had on you growing up. An example would be the values your parents taught you. Nature is the genetics you received, like eye color. Socrates is the person that is explaining the meth.

I am a Cyborg

Now a day’s technology is so enhance people depended on it. I am a Cyborg and this is what makes you I am. Technology make our live full up with excitement. In this essay I will prove my statement.
Technology is around where ever we go. Long time ago when man created cell phone it was like for show and tell. Now in the year of 2010 cell phones is a most. Everyone in the world has a cell phone from the big apple to beep wood in Haiti. I cannot live you without my phone. If I don’t have it with me, I feel like it is the end of the world. I would start to build up anxiety. When I am on the train I see people is so isolated and they are so force on that little piece of object. For example, people don’t use maps anymore to go on round trips. Crested the navigator system was the best thing they could have done. The devise made it so convent for everyone. I recently learn how to drive and it takes me anywhere I want to go.
