A dystopia is the opposite of a utopia, the idea of making a place perfect and controlling people that ends up backfiring. I say this based on things that these fictional characters tried to do and even what is happening in the world today. In the article “More facial recognition Continue reading
Generally, I would tend to choose to work alone for projects or assignments if I could. I’ve had bad experiences where I end up doing all of the work, or it is like pulling teeth trying to get your group member together to complete the assignment. So I don’t particularly Continue reading
No, I’m afraid I have to disagree with Kim Stanley Robinson. Imagining that things could get better is not the key to overcoming dystopia. I say this because, in most dystopian situations, you guess how things might get better when they do not. So you are putting a false narrative Continue reading

Because the people own the government, they have a say in what laws are passed and what happens in their country. Also, in a democratic government, the people Continue reading
I have mixed feelings about working in a group. I do not mind working in a group where everyone is working together, but I don’t particularly appreciate it when everyone is not putting forth the same effort. There seem to be plenty of times in which I was placed in Continue reading
