Axiom

"The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion by John R. Zaller is one of the most-cited works of contemporary political science, with more than (6,500) citations recorded in the Google Scholar database." (Bartels, L. M.) In his book, Zaller investigates the influence of the "elite media" on the public through survey data. Zaller received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego in History and then went on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984…

perpetuates racial division and inequality in America, separate black and white humanity in a Saigon, Vietnamese red-light district. According to the poem’s text, America exports its racial binary, and its implicit white-superior-to-black, racist axiom, with its GIs to Vietnam. A black American GI, serving in the Vietnam War, narrates “Tu Do Street” and provides his perspective of the exported racism. Because he is black, the narrator inhabits the inferior side of the racial binary in his own…

epidemic before it catches up with our society for the worse. In the Pixar movie “Wall-e” the human race has destroyed the environment of the planet that they live on due to lack of care. They are then forced to live on a ship in outer space called the Axiom because earth’s environment is no longer suitable for human life due to the harsh treatment that they human race gave to it.…

Everyone in the Axiom is brainwashed by the BnL Company. BnL are the ones who made the spaceship, as well, as the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the many robots aboard the ship who are servants to the humans, and even the school system. Everyone in the future has…

If I were to ask you to describe yourself, you would begin using terms that you believe to be accurate, but how do you know that those words are accurate? The only reason you believe the words to be accurate is because there are terms that others around you have used to describe you. You can describe yourself only in relation to others, making initiating and maintaining relationships a necessity and challenge. When an individual first meets someone there is a level of uncertainty, and depending…

across a variety of cultures. Sedgwick laid out seven ideas which she held to be self-evident truths about anti-homophobic analysis. I had not previously heard of some of these concepts, but nonetheless can make sense of them. I interpreted the first axiom as bringing up a critical idea of present equality movements: intersectionality. Social identities aren’t mutually…

life. They never have a direct communication and interaction with other people except via screen and become ignorant of their surroundings. Compared to the relationship between WALL-E and EVE which seems more human that the real humans, the people on Axiom, on the contrary are like zombie as their lives are unconsciously controlled by the…

since it began. Rene Descartes was the principal father of philosophy. He was the perfect representative for the new scientific spirit. He had strong beliefs that there was a God that existed and he wanted to prove everyone wrong with his axioms. Alongside of this axioms he also went ahead explained his arguments for universal doubt through his book of Meditations. There was many people that disagreed with his view and they argued it with science, but he still presented enough information to…

Persuasion Axiom #1 – If people resist your ideas, persuade them. If there’s no resistance, you don’t need to persuade. The idea that you don’t need to persuade if there’s no resistance is most striking. And while it is on some level obvious, the thought can be counter-intuitive to those who feel the need to continuously sell their ideas. Since it seems natural to want those who agree to continue agreeing, there may be merit to continuing the pitch, if only on a reduced level. However,…

In Wall-E both settings (earth and the Axiom) are portrayed as a dystopia. In Wall-E the dystopia can be defined more by the definition of dystopia that “Dystopian societies are undesirable or even horrifying” (Patricia Booth, 2015). Planet earth is a scrapheap with robots called “Waste Allocation…
