Bad, the product of good.
Science is evolving. Each day, new inventions, discoveries are made. Most of them is good. Great in fact. Until something is not. Some of the new medical discoveries cure some diseases. However, the coming generations, will suffer from the long-term side effects of these discoveries.
In this course’s reading, I got the chance to be surrounded by discoveries that I hope one day will be true. Reading “The Evening and the Morning and the Night” by Octavia Butler (spring 1991), showed me that a cure for cancer will be found. But, it also showed me that this cure, the one that helps cancer patients get their lives back, will cause their children fatal problems, problems that will set a bomb in their heads that keeps on …show more content…
They were called animals, unhuman, or less human. The ones, who were discriminated against, the Native-Americans and the African-Americans, had no laws to protect them. The US constitution protected the abuser, the bully, the white man in every way possible. Not just that, it gave the white man the right of taking over someone else’s rights, properties, and lives. In Amped, we can see that in a clear way in the very first few chapters where Owen Grey was kicked out from his apartment and being told that he has no rights any more. Because he was implanted, he was considered less of a human being. To be more accurate, he was not considered as a human. All of that happened on the day when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the PHCC. “Pure pride”, or may I call it “pure supremacy,” were the words that the pure people shouted when they prohibited other people, who are as human as they are, as pure as they are, yet improved, from having their least …show more content…
They were the ones who were blamed for all of the problems that were occurring in the country. As much as I hate to admit this, it has reminded me of my own people. We are always blamed for all kind of “terror” around the world. When white people cause “terror” then it is just about the group of individuals. However, whenever something happens that involves a Muslim or an Arab, it must be called a terrorist attack. In the book, they used the phrase “Amped Attack” and “terror” because the Amped people were not considered white.
The world is an unjust place whether we like it or not. It always have, it always will be. As individual people, we lost our hope in humanity. Therefore, we started writing Science
Fiction novels that talk about the social injustice that is occurring all around us. We sure do dream about a world of justice, but dreams do not often come true. We wait for a shooting star to wish for justice, we pray for God to send us miracles that will serve justice, and we ask our ancestors to help guide our souls to serve justice. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
