Ending Definition of a Dystopia

  By Kaelyn Moore April 24, 2022 - 22:10 April 24, 2022 Definition

Dystopia – A time in society where the fears of humans are amplified to an extent that a group becomes marginalized by a form of oppression that in turn diminished their quality of life.  After reading Young’s “Five Faces of Oppression” and hearing about everyone’s opinions and ideas of what Continue reading

Podcast Post-production

  By Kaelyn Moore April 10, 2022 - 23:03 April 10, 2022 General, Production Notes

I am not too comfortable working in certain groups at the moment. I feel like life is moving too fast to have people depending on me to complete things. And I know that that is a part of life but right now a lot of things are happening. For this Continue reading

Is Religion the Answer?

  By Kaelyn Moore April 1, 2022 - 19:27 April 1, 2022 Class Notes

I do not know if I believe that it is the answer. But I think that it helps keep others in line and believe in the world’s best version through their actions. Religion acts as personal checks and balances where you punish yourself for acting out of what your faith Continue reading

Production and Adherence

  By Kaelyn Moore March 20, 2022 - 23:56 April 22, 2022 Production Notes

My team and I are still creating how we want our podcast to look. I definitely see where there could be an issue with licensing when presenting a movie that others didn’t necessarily watch. I don’t see us truly showing or using clips from Gattaca, though it may be helpful Continue reading

Film Critique: Planet of the Apes

  By Kaelyn Moore March 13, 2022 - 22:00 March 18, 2022 Film Critiques

My student choice movie #1 was the 1968 film, Planet of the Apes. Since I initially thought it was a part of the current mainstream idea of the Ape planet, I was surprised to see that it was completely different. I admit it took me some time to adjust to Continue reading

The State of Ur-Fascism

  By Kaelyn Moore February 12, 2022 - 20:37 February 17, 2022 Postread

I am still trying to understand what ur-fascism actually is. Offering an example from my current understanding would be cult or maybe even Amish-type societies. They have sectioned away from the world and taught the ways of that religion above all other knowledge. Wanting to explore or question what is Continue reading

Pre-Production of Podcast

  By Kaelyn Moore February 2, 2022 - 21:00 February 8, 2022 Production Notes

I have had pretty decent experiences when working in groups. I can often become overwhelmed with projects when others are not helpful of as invested to the team effort as I am and sometimes take on more than I can handle. So it is fear I have that my group Continue reading

Was Freud Right?

  By Kaelyn Moore January 29, 2022 - 22:01 January 31, 2022 General, Postread

Sigmund Freud expresses how he believes that human nature is similar to the government, by the argument that nature controls our lives and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. In this I partially agree. The government has such a structure that it was built to hold power Continue reading
