Blog 7

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.

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.
