Utopia05
The document defines utopianism and dystopianism and provides a brief history and examples of each. It notes that Thomas More coined the term "utopia" in 1516 to refer to an ideally perfect place. The document then lists reasons for proposing utopian ideas such as vast changes in culture, economy or politics. It provides secular examples like democracy and religious examples like concepts of heaven. It also gives examples of utopianism in nature through animal social structures and in fiction through works like The Matrix and 1984. The document concludes with examples of utopian and dystopian themes in The Simpsons television show.
Kant power point
Immanuel Kant was an 18th century German philosopher who developed the categorical imperative as a way to determine morality. The categorical imperative states that moral rules must be universal and that people should never be treated merely as a means to an end. Kant believed that human nature is fundamentally good and that we have a duty to act according to moral rules derived from pure reason alone. He argued that morality depends on intention rather than outcomes and that we have universal duties that apply regardless of inclination.
Existentialism
The document discusses existentialism through the lens of Albert Camus and his notion of "the absurd." It summarizes that Camus believed life is absurd and meaningless due to the suffering and injustice in the world. However, Camus argued that people can revolt against the absurd by practicing humane values in their daily lives. Existentialism holds that individuals are solely responsible for their own decisions and actions, and that people strive for meaning and purpose despite life's inherent absurdity and lack of external purpose or design. Existentialism promotes individual freedom and responsibility over social or religious doctrines.
Classism
This document discusses the concept of classism and divisions in social class. It defines classism as prejudice or discrimination based on class according to the dictionary. It also defines lower class, middle class and upper class. The document asks where the clearest examples of classism can be found globally and in society. It discusses that classism stems from human competitiveness and the association of social worth with income levels. However, income does not always correlate with value or contribution. The document suggests the removal of money from society could help reduce classism but recognizes this is unlikely to happen. It concludes the only way to fully stop classism is to eliminate social class divisions by establishing true belief in equality among all humans.
Ss388 utopianism presentation
Utopianism refers to imagined ideas about perfect or ideal societies. The concept originated from Thomas More's 1516 book "Utopia", which described a fictional island society with ideal social, political, and moral aspects. Early influences included Plato's "The Republic" and descriptions of the Garden of Eden, which portrayed harmonious societies. While utopias envision paradise on Earth, examples in fiction like "1984" depict dystopian societies with extreme deprivation, oppression, or control. There are ongoing debates about whether truly utopian societies can exist in reality or if differences in individual ideals pose challenges.
Who stole feminism
The document discusses gender differences and the development of gender roles from a biological and sociological perspective. It notes that while men and women have some biological differences like pain tolerance, their roles have largely been shaped by culture and society over time. Hunter-gatherer societies developed divisions of labor where men hunted and women cared for children, influencing gender norms. Feminism has evolved in waves to advocate for women's rights and fair treatment.
Socrates
Socrates was an influential ancient Greek philosopher born in Athens in 470 BC. He spent his time questioning prominent citizens and politicians in the marketplace using his "Socratic method" to expose inconsistencies or ignorance in their beliefs. Though he wrote nothing himself, he taught Plato and was known for saying "the unexamined life is not worth living." He was tried for corrupting the youth and impiety, found guilty, and sentenced to death by drinking poison hemlock.
Simpsons and parody
The document discusses The Simpsons television show and how it serves as an "anti-show" that spoofs and challenges traditional television codes and formulas. It analyzes how The Simpsons uses parody and satire to comment on issues like family, education, and American culture. Through its animated format and characterization of the Simpson family, the show appeals to a wide audience and encourages interpretation in how different viewers find meaning.
Nihilism
Nihilism is a philosophy that denies all existence and meaning. It involves a rejection of all religious and moral values. Historically, some revolutionary groups in 19th century Russia took on the label of "Nihilists" as they scorned tradition and authority. While Nietzsche is often seen as a philosophical nihilist, he actually believed in free will and art's ability to communicate free will. However, his views did have a basis in nihilism's view that reality is ultimately meaningless and existence is aimless suffering. A nihilistic view is that things like abortion, politics, religion, and immigration do not matter because reality does not truly exist.
Msmorality
Nietzsche discusses the concepts of master and slave morality. Slave morality originated as a way for weaker people to curb the actions of stronger "barbarians" or "masters" who dominated through force. Slave morality values humility, altruism, and weakness while master morality embraces strength, will, creativity and challenges conventions. Nietzsche believes that through art one can create themselves and acknowledge the absurdity of existence. The document provides examples from Fight Club to illustrate the difference between characters embodying slave and master moralities.
Intrinsic good and instrumental good
The document discusses the concepts of intrinsic good and instrumental good. Intrinsic good is something that is good in itself, not for achieving some other end, while instrumental good is only good as a means to achieve something else. It provides examples of things that could be intrinsically good like happiness, or both intrinsically and instrumentally good/bad, like lying to get a job. The document also examines quotes from The Simpsons character Mr. Burns to analyze if he is capable of finding true intrinsic happiness rather than only pursuing instrumental goods.
Blaise pascal
Blaise Pascal's wager argues that it is rational to believe in God due to the risk/reward of the possible outcomes. He outlines four possibilities: believing in God and being correct, believing in God and being incorrect, not believing in God and being incorrect, and not believing in God and being correct. The only way to "win" or receive the reward is to believe in God, while not believing risks losing or receiving punishment. However, the wager assumes there is only one God and religion and does not consider the consequences of believing in the wrong system. It is also criticized for being an oversimplification that reduces religious belief to a mathematical calculation.
Anti intellectualism 2
The document discusses the decline of classics and humanities in universities over time. It notes that even among intellectuals there is anti-intellectualism. Universities have diminished the role of classics and humanities and see them as luxuries rather than core parts of an education. They are now often framed as developing transferable skills rather than being essential areas of study.
Anti intellectualism
The document discusses anti-intellectualism in America, defining it as hostility towards intellectuals and intellectual pursuits. It explores several sources of anti-intellectualism including religion, corporate culture, the educational system, youth culture, and populism. Historically, anti-intellectualism has played a prominent role in American culture stemming from conservative Christian views and 19th century populism that saw education as having little value compared to experience.
What is creative nonfiction
Creative nonfiction is a hybrid genre that combines elements of fiction and factual journalism. It uses literary techniques to tell true stories in an engaging way. Lee Gutkind defines creative nonfiction as adhering to the basics of nonfiction while allowing poetic and journalistic flexibility. Examples include books by Jon Krakauer and Truman Capote that are based on true events but told through narrative storytelling. When writing creative nonfiction, authors immerse themselves in their topics through in-depth research and observation.
Essay as art
Experimental literature sets its own rules while subverting conventions of what constitutes proper literature. Many European and American writers in the early 20th century experimented with form and helped establish modernism. Experimental writing today is published in books, magazines, and other formats. While most stories aim to be believable, experimental writing may be peculiar to engage readers in new ways by playing with structure, style, and narrative techniques rather than following formulas. Examples of experimental literature include works by Rushdie, Vidal, Vonnegut, Wilde, Acker, Barth, Beckett, Garcia-Marquez, Kafka, Robbe-Grillet, Burroughs, Joyce, Woolf, Pynchon and books like The Tunnel,
