  By Sasha March 27, 2023 - 13:15 March 27, 2023 General

While having its benefits, Continue reading

Is Climate Change opression

  By drobin34@xula.edu March 26, 2023 - 19:12 March 26, 2023 General

First, before we go deep into addressing the matter of whether we as humans are the oppressors relating to the cause of climate change, we need to first define oppression. Oppression is defined as a demonstration of unjust and cruel treatment. We have racial oppression, especially with African Americans, especially Continue reading

How much privacy am I willing to give up?

  By jjessie2 March 25, 2023 - 16:38 March 25, 2023 Class Notes, General

In the 21st century, technology has indeed replaced the prison imagined by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century, but it has also brought with it new challenges related to privacy.

Privacy isn’t Comfortable

  By tamerson March 22, 2023 - 12:45 March 23, 2023 General

Because, how my field of study is tied to computer science I do feel like I think about this type of question much more than the average person does. I and many individuals give up more information about themselves than they realize. This is how businesses and corporations work, they Continue reading

My Personal Utopia

  By drobin34@xula.edu March 21, 2023 - 08:42 March 23, 2023 General

Dealing with a utopia, is best classified as equality being present in a society or place for everyone. That means that everyone has an equal share of rights to do whatever they want to do.

How to Create a Utopia

  By aswann March 4, 2023 - 21:13 March 23, 2023 General

In my opinion, the best way to determine which form of government would be the last dystopia is ensuring the elements of dystopia like oppression and abuses of power are most unlikely to happen. After reviewing the forms of government I believe that a Social government would be the least Continue reading

What Governments are the Least Dystopian

  By tamerson March 4, 2023 - 18:25 March 23, 2023 General

              I’m personally torn between two forms of government, Demarchy, and Direct Democracy as being the least dystopic form of government.

The Least Dystopian
