Science Fiction is all about humans’ interactions and reactions with technology of the future. Through our own society we use these strange situations to encompass the unknown and face the bizarre. The future of humanity is uncertain and can be very scary as to what will happen next. Many wonder what will be the next big event? The novels that will be discussed are A Scanner Darkly, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. These books identify different aspects of…

Discrimination against disabled has increased over the years; this is giving to the fact that many of the disabled have physical or mental appearances. There was study that twins murdered at birth. Infanticide was widespread among technologically less developed societies, especially for the physically or mentally impaired. We all notice disabilities, whether we admit to it or not we know that they have some kind of disability while speaking to them or what is visible. Nevertheless, we…

Science fiction is a genre that has persisted for perhaps longer than what one might think. When classifying the genre, there are elements of technology and they are typically set in the future. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy implements such elements, but takes the issues of life, the universe, and everything and puts a funnier spin to them. This allows the author to take serious issues in society and point out the ridiculousness of situations. Absurdity is perhaps the main theme of the…

Introduction: One of the Victorian ecosystems that interested to me and that is Red Gum. It is generally found at low altitudes (below 500m) in low to medium rainfall area (250-1000mm) with best suited to flat/ gently rolling country with near watercourses or on alluvial soils due to the periodic floods. Ecosystem of the Red Gum varies across the state due to the climatic and geographic range. One particular Red Gum site is listed on the Living Murray initiative which is Barmah-Millewa Forest,…

Unlike many of those who enter into Computer Science programs in college I have only recently, in the last couple of years, started programming. During my senior year of high school a friend of mine and myself started playing around with C++ for fun during a vocational networking class accomplishing very little and not getting any desired results. At that time I had no clue that a couple short years later I would have a deeper understanding of proper programming methodologies and an…

let´s develop these ideas around Alison. Both her actions— jumping around like a squirrel or throwing a cup in the floor (Act II)— and some pieces in Jimmy´s discourse— “Oh, it’s not that she hasn’t her own kind of passion. She has the passion of a python.” (Act I)— become evidence of a passionate, opinionated, loving and sacrificed woman. What may appear as lethargy could be a tiredness from evading her husband´s endless attacks and avoiding confrontation; but why does she acts that way?…

Shanghai, China Shanghai is located on the central coast of China. It is the country’s biggest city and a global financial hub. The heart of the city is the Bund, a popular waterfront promenade that is lined with colonial-era buildings. When you take a look across the Huangpu River you can see the fantastic futuristic skyline rising high into the sky in the Pudong district. The city also has many green spaces for rest and relaxation. A most symbolic part of the city is the Bund which at one…

Exploring Coding Introduction The MYP packet was an extraordinary help to get me started on this assignment. It began with asking the question of what my three main interests were at the time; science, art, and technology. Focusing on the latter, I decided to do this project on something I’ve always been fascinated by, the world of coding. After getting a taste of it the previous year through being in the CyberPatriot program at school, which lets students find weaknesses in computer models and…

state and capitalism have operated unchecked and have created a society of false consciousness. This is the world of Brazil. I am not referring to the South American country but the 1985 film written and directed by Terry Gilliam, formerly of Monty Python. The title refers to the song "Aquarela do Brasil” which is used as the soundtrack for the film. Brazil is a satirical vision of bureaucracy in the near future. As I viewed the film numerous times, I imagined that my mind was being taken…
