Tutor visit

Visit the class tutors for me personally was a good help and experience in which I could learn and address many concerns that had to develop an essay.
It's very interesting to have this kind of help in class because it is more personal as having more personal assistance is one of the privileges that we all have, I hope we can continue to have this support for classes that are this semester.

Red Pill or Blue Pill: Is Ignorance Bliss?

In the article Red Pill or Blue Pill  by Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmson explain how humans approach the truth, which is not easy to deal for everybody, some people believe its better to live without knowing the truth because they want to stay in control, while others seek answers.

 because the people as the character Neo  from the movie The Matrix has intelligence to find answers to his doubts.

Intelligence and education is well demonstrated in the movie "The Matrix" where Neo is a master in computation a person with a good education, that is why Morpheus choose him and believed that he was the one he sought to free everybody from The Matrix, So Morpheus had been looking for a person who can and is willing to seek the truth and a person who choose the red pill that would help him see the truth and free him from the Matrix. Neo’s educations involves a reeducation of his senses, this shows what some scientists have said that human beings do not use the whole brain in their lives.
.

Neo was seeking answers, the reason for seeking this answer is he is aware of certain things; they cannot teach some things to children than adults is easy to discern, is so that children generally are told where babies come from making up stories like that are brought by the stork or come from Paris, Because at that age are not able to understand sexuality as understood an older person.

Just as some people cannot handle the truth as in the movie "The Matrix" a character named Cypher which betray comrades, Because he preferred to live in the matrix than the truth, this is how it is shown that is not a bliss ignorance .


.


Neo- Find answers because he is curious
Cypher - He doesn't want to know because he wants control.

Are you living in the Matrix?

I think we live in another kind of Matrix not exactly the Matrix from the movie but in a different Matrix in which we are manipulated by others religions and governments.

Man by nature is always tempted to want to live better than doing nothing or having everything is so easy then as in the movie Matrix who chose to take the red pill were those who wanted to know the truth unlike those chose to live in ignorance and do nothing took the blue pill. Thus, in our society people who want to remain ignorant not opt for a change and are content living life doing nothing and just waiting for someone else to do.

As predicted by Karl Marx once there is no system of GOVERNMENT that is perfect and that therefore the nature of human being who always want to have some power that usually are the ones who have the power to gain control of food and water technology among other things.

If we think of the matrix that shows the movie has some truth in what today we live with our government it is which gives us rules and administers the laws and money and therefore all that we need to be dominated by them, and in the movie lived a life that was created.

Therefore we live in another kind of Matrix in which we do not know the truth but many cannot do much to get out of but can be some part of the Matrix, in our case people do not want to know the truth would be the most therefore only be conformed into what they get. in the film which is conformed are those wanted to know the truth not only wanted to live without further complications and preferred to ignorance of the truth.

" THE DANGER OF REALITY TV"

The author of the passage Timothy Sexton thinks that Reality TV is dangerous to the minds of young viewers because makes viewers believe that education is not necessary to be successful in their lives.

Promoters of reality television want to send the message that to win in any competition is the key to success, showing how image is more important than intelligence. Therefore in this Capitalist system the people in power abhors competition that is why the industry in North America is merging with others in order to monopoly and capture the most of the consumers.

The Reality TV does have to be call reality show because does have much reality, instead they are more acting, therefore they giving more importance to the image and fashion than the skills, ability or a real gift that some people has. On the passage “The Danger of Reality TV” by Sexton show us the wrong message the Reality TV is sending to the young audience in special because they will have the wrong idea than with just humiliate oneself or making the ridiculous in national television and having no respect of them self can make more money than people who strive to get their education and reach their degree.I have a friend that has skill to become a professional soccer player and many other agree and help him to achieve his dreams but unfortunately he had a car accident and after that  he could play soccer at the professional level then he realize that to succeed in life he need to have a degree and went back to school and get a education, therefore I believe that in order to success in life we have to get  education because in reality life is not easy as is presented on Reality TV.

Analyzing why those who hold power do not want the young people in particular think that education is necessary for an achieve their dreams, instead they trying to  brainwash others for their own benefit, and continue in power.
