The Matrix

involved in what they call as the “ matrix of eating disorder vulnerability” (Leavy and Ross 73). It can be determined that the stress and tensions in her family is one of the main triggers in her eating disorder. The authors believe that the combination of various factors including media can trigger eating disorders. By implying this, readers can assume that the authors are not biased and they want to be as neutral as possible. The authors explore this matrix through…

The matrix of domination refers to the configuration of race, class and gender relations in society that together intertwine and establish a system of domination. It states that no one characteristics can be fully understood without taking into account the other characteristics. An example of this is that while males are the "dominant" gender, a black male will have more disadvantages than a white male. It is vital to take into account race, class and gender in order to come up with a system…

certain ways. While its easy to conform to the status quo, these sources also show us that we can escape this & live life to our choosing. However, our lack of knowledge might not provide us with the bravery we need to endure that change. In "The Matrix", the people are practically robots in an artificial reality. They will do anything to protect technology because they believe this is their only way of survival. Neo has always been troubled with his purpose in this technology based world & is…

Descartes, and The Matrix Life and human existence give rise to a practically endless list of philosophical questions. Among these are found questions about the nature of our existence and the world around us: “What can we know? What is reality? Can we know anything for sure?” Such questions are incredibly complex and not easily answered. Some interesting insight can be found into these thoughts by looking at the work of Plato and Descartes along with the movie The Matrix. In their works…

get her love back when she's married to another man. The Matrix is about a man named Neo and was messaged by the Matrix that he will be a Matrix, later on he met a friend named Morphias and he was Neo’s father basically but eventually Morphias gets caught by the Matrix. Additionally, I believe in both stories there contains a hero that follows a hero's journey circle and those heroes are Gatsby in “The Great Gatsby” and Neo in “The Matrix”. My reasons behind Gatsby being a hero are: Fills in the…

The Matrix is an action science fiction film that representationally expresses the controversy between a parallel universe and the reality. I am going to be using one of the four stylistic controls, mise-en-scène, which is used to convey underlying messages and hidden symbols. I will do that by looking at the lighting and the importance of reflective surfaces and what they represent. I will therefore analyze a specific sequence in the movie, and discuss the fundamental aspects to show how it…

The Corporate Ansoff Matrix: Let's examine each quadrant of the Matrix in more detail. Market penetration, in the lower left quadrant, is the safest of the four options. Here, you focus on expanding sales of your existing product in your existing market: you know the product works, and the market holds few surprises for you. Product development, in the lower right quadrant, is slightly more risky, because you're introducing a new product into your existing market. With market development, in the…

The Matrix and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave are both shared knowledge, which guide our perceptions and ideas. The question to ask ourselves is to what ‘extent’ should this ‘shared knowledge’ carve on our mindset or personal knowledge. The allegory and The Matrix, both revolve around the same notion - “What is real?”. The question that crosses my mind first is that, is it ethical to make other people believe in something that is not real? Is it okay to manipulate someone’s belief and show them a…

Nineteen Eighty-Four written by George Orwell and The Matrix, screenplay written by the Wachowskis are both dystopian tales that have very many similar aspects to them. The most interesting similarity is that in both dystopian fictions, nobody has the ability to truly make a decision for themselves that was not already planned for them to do. In The Matrix, the whole reality that everyone thinks they know, is actually a computer program that their minds are put into. They believe that they are…

The Matrix vs. Allegory of the Cave “Do not try to bend the spoon instead, realize there is no spoon”. That spoon is a part of the matrix which is just as fake as the spoon so in a sense “There is no spoon” is a clever way of telling Neo there is no matrix. The Matrix was created by the Wachowski brothers who wanted to create a unique view of the world and have their audience dive into the philosophical question, what is real? Yet, this isn’t the first time this question has been used to create…
