being. All aspects of human nature are impacted either negatively or positively by memes passed on. The theory of memetics relate to human nature because most people think and act by imitating others. They react to a situation similarly to how someone else reacted to it in the past. Copying and learning from others is how humans evolved. “…Our power of imitation, have become just the physical ‘hosts’ needed for memes to get around” (Blackmore 37). I think imitation helped humans to increase our…

is imitation. The study said this phenomenon called “meme”. Blackmore claimed imitating is what makes us different from animals or living species. This is because humans are imitating each other without consciousness. Blackmore said whenever someone smiles, other smiles back but animals cannot. Then meme is like a copy machine. It makes copies of an ideas or behaviors or cultures and then it spreads out from person to person. Because of that meme is called “selfish” because they…

(MIP-2) The meme uses the ad hominem logical fallacy and the pathos appeal to convince the reader to change their habits of watching television and using devices. (SIP-1) This meme uses this logical fallacy because it specifically attacks people who like to watch tv and prefer technology over reading. (STEWE)The meme at the top states “Don’t like to read? Would rather watch TV and play video games?” This top sentence basically shows that it is definitely an ad hominem because it is specifically…

Blackmore elaborates a meme, which is everything that is passed from person to person, by analogy with a gene. “Their propagation by jumping from brain to brain, likened them to parasites infecting a host, treated them as physically realized living structures, and showed how mutually assisting memes will gang together in groups just as genes do”(Blackmore, p36). From memes point of view, human brains, where memes are stored, are just physical hosts indispensable for memes to be passed on by…

contradicted by the existence of memes. As a matter fact, our ideas have their individual representative that evolution has over time copied into other human brains. As a result that is what makes us different from animals and even technology; our ability to have memes control us as Susan Blackmore explains in her essay “Strange Creatures”. For instance, Susan Blackmore states, “We humans, because of our powers of imitation, have become just the physical ‘hosts’ needed for the memes to get…

that is depression is Meme. This is a brave character for Hoberman to include in the novel, as a lot of the issues brought about through this character are intense for a young audience. The story is able to intertwine the depression into a children’s book without dismissing the hardships the depression…

Steve and the Cracking of Spirit While Steve provides a variety of resources for the articulation of potentially resistive politics within spaces of control, in recognizing memes as pharmakon, any modal analysis would be remiss without acknowledging the potentially negative side effects. Specifically, the Old Economy Steve meme promotes generational conflict that can reify the dissociative logics that embolden the proletarianizing force of control. Specifically, while the criticism offered by…

World Problems” and “But Thats None Of My Business” memes to satirize through Oscar Wilde. Each of these memes speaks not only to social issues during Wilde’s time, but also to those still occurring today. These memes create a bridge between Wilde’s criticism of his own society and our own modern way of satirizing current issues. The “But Thats None Of My Business” meme is unique in that it is used to satirize both the subject and speaker of the meme. Within it, the speaker is attempting to…

“How was school today Gavin?” Meme (pronounced Mimi) asked me as I got in the car that Thursday afternoon. “It was fine.” I replied, “How about yourself?” “Oh, I’m doing well.” She said, reaching out her aged arm and grasping the ignition key to start the car, “I played Scrabble with Nana today, though Miss Kitty kept jumping on the table and smacking all the letters around.” “Ha, yeah, you know Zoey is quite the attention hound.” I retorted. Meme is my great-grandmother and the one who…

knowledge in culture and human perspectives. You might be surprised to learn the way memes can influence our everyday lives. One of my favorite memes is from Dr. Seuss, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” This meme makes me feel powerful. It is a message used to persuade people to believe in themselves, which is unique. Why try to fit in with other people and not be yourself? You are born to be distinctive. This meme can be linked to agents of socialization because participating in…
