Read all about it: A dystopia!

  By De'Hasia April 24, 2022 - 22:31 April 24, 2022 Definition, General

The best definition of a dystopia in my opinion comes from Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan. He describes human nature, how the human true self is a chaotic, wild beast that without government will run amok until everything is drowning in chaos. In many dystopian societies, there is usually an egregious problem Continue reading

There When you Need it to be

  By De'Hasia April 2, 2022 - 00:26 April 2, 2022 Class Notes

Religion is not necessary to defeat a dystopia. It is a good way to rally people behind one central figure and use that to sway the masses onto your side but overall it is not a need when trying to win. There is not a straightforward way to defeat a Continue reading

Still Feeling Iffy about group Projects but Could I be the Next big Podcaster?

  By De'Hasia March 27, 2022 - 23:17 April 8, 2022 General, Production Notes

So far in the production of the podcast, my group and I are pretty much finished with the script, I actually just submitted it for review. So far in the production, I actually enjoy the process of doing the research and actually thinking about what would pique the interests of Continue reading

Safe now, loss of rights later?

  By De'Hasia March 16, 2022 - 23:25 April 22, 2022 Class Notes

Edward Snowden made some good points in his interview. When the pandemic first occurred the US was quickly overwhelmed: hospitals without ventilators, staff shortages in almost every workplace, and harsh restrictions that put a lot of people out of a job. The US brags about the large sums of money Continue reading

Hope Everyone Likes You

  By De'Hasia March 13, 2022 - 22:24 March 13, 2022 Film Critiques

“The Purge” is a movie created in 2015 based on the concept that all crimes are made legal for twelve hours. Within those twelve hours any actions taken, any people injured or any money stolen is completely legal and the judicial system will do nothing to combat what occurred in Continue reading

Ur- Fascism is hiding in plain clothes

  By De'Hasia February 12, 2022 - 19:15 February 12, 2022 Postread

At the end of Umberto Eco’s work, he argued that Ur-Fascism is hiding in plain clothes, that life would be easier if it just shouted that it was here and it wanted to bring back Nazism. I agree with this! In modern times, Ur-Fascism can be seen in the political Continue reading

Group Effort vs Individual Effort

  By De'Hasia February 5, 2022 - 21:27 February 8, 2022 Production Notes

I personally do not like working in groups, I feel that it is much easier to get the assignment done on my own terms. It also takes a lot more time to get the group together, to decide on what to do, etc and it’s just a more tedious process. Continue reading

Could We Be Next?

  By De'Hasia January 15, 2022 - 20:30 February 4, 2022 Definition, General
