Diocesan Boys' School IB Eng Lit HL - The Stranger "Class and Race" Interacti...Felex Lau
The document discusses Albert Camus' novel The Stranger and the themes of class and race within the story. Camus was born in Algeria to French pied-noir parents, and the main character Meursault is also a pied-noir living in Algeria. As Arabs began moving to cities for work, tensions rose between the pied-noir and Arab communities. Meursault, a working-class pied-noir, is suspicious of authority and claims he killed an Arab man because of the sun, though his prejudice against Arabs may have played a role given the conflicts between them. The document examines whether class and race are crucial elements in the novel and how Meursault views Arabs.
Diocesan Boys' School IB - TOK: Psychology ExperimentFelex Lau
This psychology experiment sought to determine whether a person's behavior is more related to their internal disposition or external situation. It divided participants into three groups: Group A was instructed to insult an actor inside a room, Group B saw their friends insult the actor, and Group C received no instruction. The experiment considered ethical issues like the safety of the actor and psychological effects on participants from deceiving them and having the actor pretend to be a bully.
Diocesan Boys' School IB English Lit HL IOP - Symbolic Architecture in We by ...Felex Lau
The document describes the architecture and structures within the One State. It outlines the strict conformity and control imposed on citizens known as Ciphers. Key points include:
1) Architecture is designed to demonstrate power and spread propaganda, including glass auditoriums where Ciphers are forced to listen to talks.
2) Ciphers lives are highly regulated, with numbers assigned to their living spaces and repetition in their daily routines.
3) Colors are seen as distracting, and there is rejection of the past in favor of reliance on mathematics and logic. Strict obedience to the State is demanded.
The presentation discusses how language can shape thought through the use of politically charged terms like "security fence", "absentees", and "shoot-to-protect". It questions whether the barrier between Israel and Palestine is truly a security fence given its political purposes, and whether terminology is used to deny responsibility. The presentation ends by thanking the audience.
