Pre-production and Post-production reflections written by students before and after the podcast assignment.
I would like to describe my personal utopia in terms that you can understand it, though I’m not sure how to do so in a blog post. A world where food is plentiful, animals are free roamin’ in their natural habitat, people are kind to each other, and honest individuals Continue reading
The idea of dystopia and utopia is ironic because while dystopia, a chaotic world in which everything and everyone is controlled by an upper, is imaginable and even comparable to our current societies, utopia, a perfect world, seems unattainable. As a Palestinian born during a war, injustice, and oppression are Continue reading
For me to describe my utopia you’d have to have some insight into my personal life. Which is probably too much detail for a blog post. Any who, my personal utopia would be a world where food is abundant, animals can roam in their natural habitats happily, people are being Continue reading
