Essay 1: The Allegory of the Matrix

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave we are introduced to a form of humanity shackled in chains, in a form of perceptual bondage.

In The Matrix by the Wachowski sisters we are introduced to a dark future where humanity is imprisoned physically and perceptually by a form of manipulative Artificial Intelligence.

And in our daily lives we also experience a limiting of our social perspective regarding Covid-19.

If Neo could rescue humanity from Plato’s cave, what would that rescue look like today in a world where people are constantly battling the influence of misinformation while trying to stay safe?

Are there any modern figures in reality that have acted as a Neo/Morpheus or a Plato, in the current age of coronavirus, liberating humanity from their incorrect thinking? If we listen to these modern truth-tellers, how will our lives be made better?

The COVID-19 pandemic presents significant concerns on the need to rescue people from the social and economic false realities created by the COVID-19 guideline. Neo/ Morpheus or Plato would need to rescue people from the false identity created by the government and experts concerning the pandemic. While to stay safe, people need to minimize movement and maintain social distance, the efficacy and sustainability of these measures are not tenable in the long run. Plato explains that the understanding of reality could only be a reflection of something greater. ‘‘Matrix’’ promotes the need to rescue individuals from the false reality created and promoted in the systems. In a democratic society, the government cannot take the absolute authority of individuals’ health. People must be willing to engage in health-seeking behaviors to remain safe while questioning the information to enhance positive results. Unless the proposed intervention measures for COVID-19 respond to the individual needs and deficiencies and explore the different social contexts, their application is questionable. The policies and the laws on COVID-19 are not activated responsively and sensitively.  This is similar to the transgender experiences characterized in the Matrix where human sexuality knowledge is limited to perspectives in the systems.

This claim by the OAS interrupted Bolivia’s presidency because it served as the pretext that allowed Bolivian military and police to prevent Morales from assuming the presidency and threatened to leave the country. The presidency was also interrupted with Jeannine Inez’s appointment as the interim president, who ten months later did not undergo the election process with excuses of the coronavirus.

Twelve years a slave is a Hollywood adaptation of the memoir on Solomon Northup’s experience as a slave in the South (McQueen, 2013). It commences with Solomon Northup being a free man in the North with impeccable carpentry and violin-playing skills. Two Caucasian businessmen approach him with a short-term job proposal and promise to pay him handsomely if he chose to with them to Washington. Northup finds the business terms irresistible and obliges to the two men’s request. However, this move turns out to be naïve as these individuals drug him, chain him up, and sell him to a slave pen, where he is subsequently sold to different slave owners during his twelve years in slavery (Kelley, 2019). Northup’s moment of salvation came when he managed to sneak a letter to his family and has a white friend write to the New York government seeking help to free Northup.

It’s about an African American man that meets his white girlfriend’s parents and soon learns her family’s dark secret. Be sure to write in this mircosot word or google docs. also needs to be typed in MLA format!
Answer preview
Corcoran acknowledges that the films have attracted significant influence, including the academic analysis of the movie. Therefore, insightful perspectives are presented on Get Out, such as the canon of political horror, which identifies that black bodies are not their own. The director of this movie draws in on the narrative of black human bodies being swiped for aging whites who view them as non-human. It reflects the 19th-century black face minstrelsy and stereotype depiction of black Americans’ practices in dances, acting, and songs. The black characters in the movie are forced to adopt a mind of white consciousness to survive in the white American world. The stolen bodies of people of color in Get Out and the desire of aging white to occupy youthful black minds express racist dehumanization. The politics in the film reveal the racists’ institutions and ideologies in the modern world. Get out is based on the context of black people forced to adapt to the racism in the white society and mobilize stereotypes to manipulate the African American agency (Corcoran, 158). The film also explores capture, occupation

Please watch the movie “The River and The Wall” directed by Ben Masters and answer both prompts below. Each in one page.Please do not plagiarize.

PROMPT 1:

What did you learn from watching The River and The Wall? Cite examples from the film to explain your answer.

PROMPT 2:

Considering all the issued presented in The River and The Wall, and thinking about what you know about US/ Latin American relations, should the U.S. have a border wall? How do you think the immigration issue should be handled?

Requirements: 1 page each prompt

https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gt…

Answer preview

I also learned that the wall would not only be destructive to humans but also to animals and nature. The adventurers pass through a region with diverse animals, such as bears, sheep, owls, and ocelots. Building a wall would cause the displacement of all these animals. The Texas wildlife biologists say that the black bears had previously been wiped out by hunters but later returned from Mexico (Masters, 2019). The ranchers are also afraid of the acres of ranching farms likely to be lost.

Finally, the movie enabled me to understand what challenges immigrants encounter in the country. DeAndrade explains how he came from Brazil with his mother and lived as an immigrant.  Alvarado also describes how he was brought up as a child of an illegal immigrant and suffered class discrimination. “In the outdoors, on the Rio Grande, that’s somewhere that status doesn’t matter,” says Alvarado.

Cigarettes and cigarette smoke

/in /by

Watch Out of the Past (1947) and 200 Cigarettes (1999)

Comparison Reviews should focus on the use of cigarettes and cigarette smoke throughout the movies.

Is smoking still prevalent in popular films or other current media?

Links for the movies are not provided.

Answer preview

Star power is a vital film evaluation metric for it demonstrates a film’s reception and its impact on society. Out of the Past had immense star power owing to its intricate plot that evaluates the entanglement between crime and romance. In contrast, 200 Cigarettes became famous for its negative reviews more than anything else. Both films glamorized smoking, albeit in different ways. On the one hand, 200 Cigarettes portrayed it as something that people could engage in as an attempt to be trendy. As insinuated earlier, Out of the Past was more successful in glamorizing smoking by portraying it as a significant facet of one’s personality and an avenue for letting out one’s emotions.

  1. What are the primary differences between Australopithecus Sediba and Homo Naledi?

 

  1. What made Raymond Dart and his followers believe that early hominins were violent and aggressive (killer apes)?

 

  1. What evidence eventually disproved his hypothesis?

 

  1. Why were ‘small scientists’ needed in the excavation stage for the Naledi cave?
  2. Why were Homo Naledi classified in the genus Homo rather than Australopithecus? Be sure to discuss both skeleton and cranium.

 

  1. How many bones and fragments were eventually pulled out of the Homo Naledi cave?

 

  1. What makes researchers believe that the bones were intentionally placed there? In your opinion, is this a ‘cemetery’?

Answer preview

Australopithecus and homo Habilis.   Moreover, there was so little to say about Homo Habilis, which is the first group of the human genus. After Lee had a look at the bones found by two young cavers Rick Hunter and Stephen Tucker, who made their discovery from the Rising star cave, he found it was an opportunity to clear the confusion.

 

  1. Why were Homo Naledi classified in the genus Homo rather than Australopithecus? Be sure to discuss both skeleton and cranium.

After excavating the remains of the Homo Naledi, the researchers were confused from either classified it as an Australopithecus or in genus homo.   At some point, they found some features that were more similar to those of Australopithecus, including small brain size and small-bodied.  The researchers also found that the lower body part of the Naledi was similar to that of humans, and the upper part was more ape-like.   They found that Homo Naledi has long ape-like jaws and teeth similar to those of an Australopithecus. Lee found that Homo Naledi has small jaws than those of Australopithecus. Its characteristics seemed more of a human.  The dental formula showed that Naledi was more similar to that of homo Habilis. Naledi had Smaller Brow ridges with evidence of a more rounded skull, indicating it is a Homo rather than an Australopithecus.  They discovered Homo Naledi was a Homo and was a new genus that was intermediate between Australopithecus Sediba and homo Habilis.

In many advertisements and music videos we see every day on TV, they usually embark on a certain class of people. In the Montana music video, there is a difference in social class. As much as he is dancing with the ghetto kids, Montana and Swae Lee are well dressed while the kids and other people surrounding the look very humble (French Montana, 2017). It is evident that people have different social classes in life, and we can all never be on the same level. However, regardless of where one is, they can move to the next level if they get the chance and utilize it well. Those kids have been dancing for many years, and they never thought they could be in America one day. However, through their hard work and dedication, Montana noticed their good work and decided to move them to the next level of life by featuring them in his music video.

Rapunzel is seen as energetic, brilliant, kind, cheerful, and highly adventurous during her late teens, but somehow naive. Nevertheless, she is not scared to rise strongly for herself when the circumstance calls for courage. Despite spending all of her childhood secluded in a tower with hardly anything to do, she is well versed in literature and skilled in practically all fields like music and baking (Herani & Rachmijati, 2019). She is also well versed in sophisticated disciplines like astronomy, as demonstrated by her perfectly charted astronomical trends.

Her primary passion is art, as illustrated by the vast amount of painting done on towers’ inside walls. While she yearns to explore the world past her window, she is exceedingly obedient to her adoptive mother, Gothel (Disney, 2010). She, however, has conflicting thoughts after fleeing from her tower in eagerness to explore the world and rebels against her mother’s request for her to go back after a brief excursion with Flynn Rider.

Rev. Rob Schenck has defied the natural constituency of becoming an of-spoken minister and supporter of gun control. The reverend has been a long-time anti-abortion advocate, and the film begins with a short clip of him leading a peaceful demonstration against abortion laws in 1992. He is also the founder of a religious outreach group in Washington known as Faith and Action, which was formed after the shootings that occurred in 2013. He formed the group after he felt that it was not possible for him and his faith to live comfortably with the increasing laws and politics advocating the ownership and use of guns. Even with this staunch belief and fight against abortion, Rev. Rob Schenck is able to find common ground to work closely and effectively with Lucia McBath. Lucia McBath believes the opposite of what the reverend does because she is a staunch pro-choice and supports abortion laws and women’s rights to have access to safe and affordable abortion services.   The two activists are moved by a recent shooting of a young African American boy, Jordan Davis, who is the son of Lucia, after a short argument with a white man.
