blog 9

           In "The Meatrix" the creaters use the story line of the famous 1999 movie "The Matrix" to create awareness about animal cruelty and show how agricultural farming has changed from family friendly farms to corporate factory farms. In the video Moopheus offers to shows a lone pig Leo the truth about where our animal products comes from, after choosing the red pill he sees that he is not on a farm but caged with sick looking pigs in a building. With his new perception of the world Leo leeps out of the cage and decides to make a difference by joining the resistance.

          In"The Meatrix Revolving" Moopheus and Leo has created awareness in over 10 million from the meatrix, and in attempt to release several more they went back inside where they came up on a dairy farm where the living conditions for the cows nasty. The companies use antibiotics just to keep the animal alive, hormones so the cows produced more milk, and feed a milk substitute to the young which comprise of dead cows. Then came the AGRI agents that captured Moopheus.

           In the final saga " The Meatrix II 1/2" Leo and the chicken decides to rescue Moopheus from the AGRI agents at a Happy Farm's processing plant, the agent then speeds up the process which causes a worker to cut off his finger, and manure contaminate the meat. The agent pushed a butted and Moopheus fell through the floor unto a zip line to shred to bits, and then  Leo and the chicken broke through a  window kicking the agent through the. The chicken stops the line before  Moopheus was shredded and the they all escaped.

                 In "The Net Is The Real World" Jake Simms and Larry Magid discusses how the internet can encorage cyberbullies, which can then leads to invasion of privacy.Two Rutgers University students Dharun Ravi And Mollt Wei are arrested in the involvement of activating Tyler Clementi's (Ravi room mate) wed cam, which showed him dipicting sexual acts with another man without Tyler knowing. After finding out he then posted a fare well message on his facebook page, then he jumped off the George Washinton Bridge.

                I agree with professor John Suler that "people say and do things in cyberspace that they woden't ordinarily say or do in the-to-face world", because the other day i was on the wedsite chatroulette and there was just people abusing the site. It's sopose to be a site were
people all over the world can talk to each other, but yet there was just guys masterbating every
were.

            People see the internet as a filter where they can say and do anything wiithout remorce
which is not true. They need to understand that there is a real person on the other side and what they say can and will affect that person. The invasion of privicy is where some internet users take it to a a new level, this is the worst of them all and it can cost peopl there lives like in the case of Tyler.

Is it Me or You


          This picture shows a baby looking into a mirrow at his/her reflection, why i chosed this picture is that it opens the question which is real the baby or reflection, and the answer may not be as simple as it seem some might say the baby with its back turned or even the one looking at you. What i came up with is the one with its back turned is real and the other is just a refliction.


              This picture depics a computer that has frosed, with its user now fustrated and confused he starts pulling his hair in front of a computer screen. It also seems he is looking answers like NEO was in the" THE MATRIX". The reason why i chosed this picture is that it remind me of every day life of people when our electronics fail and we feel like we cant go on.

Summary of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”

           In Plato's "Allegoy of the Cave" Socrates, explains to Glauon  (Plato's younge follower), the complex idea of enlightenment in a simple and understandable story. Using the idea of prisoners who has been chained in a cave and had never seen the light of day, he then constructs a senario where one is set free. At first he couldent see the sun so he started slow by looking at shodows, reflections, objects, then he is able to look at the moon and stars. Finaly the sun,  experiencing the world outside the den, with the new perception of the world trys to explain what was seen on the outside.
