“Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps Towards Rhetorical Analysis” by Laura Bollin Carroll explains the necessity of using rhetoric in everyday life. Understanding rhetoric is a principle part of being a well-informed consumer as we are not simply being brainwashed by the media. Taking the time to analyze situations, whether it be why or how the matter relates to you and its importance, provides us the ability to not give in to the persuasion of these creators without purpose. Laura Carroll also addresses how we as humans make rhetorical analysis so routinely, that it has become habitual. Just like the example Laura Carroll continuously refers back to in this article with the meeting a new teacher for the first time, I had been in a similar situation with one of my current Professors. The first day of the semester I walked into the class and seen this small, curly haired,  white women, dressed in trousers and a blouse with a special choice of accessories. She was walking around all jolly and vibrant and enthusiastic it looked fake. Automatically from everything i analyzed about her within the first three minutes of the class, I came to the conclusion that she was this, stuck up, arrogant, self absorbed white women who got away with being the way she is because she was privileged. In the first half of the semester she proved my judgments to be accurate, she would talk about how great she is and how smart and funny she is, she literally called herself a narcissist, it scared me. However, later on in the semester she had left me a note on one of my papers asking me to see her after class. I was livid. I thought she was going to try to violate my paper, but after class we spoke for the first time, and she was so sweet and down to earth, praising my writing and how much potential she sees in my future  asking me questions about my future, she was so eager to speak to me and help me and offered me to speak to her whenever I needed anything that she would always be available during her office hours. I felt horrible after speaking to her, all my judgments made me paint this picture of a monster she was nothing like. That taught me to never judge a book by its cover. If I haven’t had the chance to speak to her personally I would have always have this horrible perception of who she really is. Therefore, we must not always use the judgments we made off of rhetorical analysis as solely our understandings of things.

My experience viewing these episodes gave me some understanding of what the future could resemble. How we can live in a virtual world after death with simply our recollections. They likewise made me consider how our protection is attacked totally and everybody can approach our introspection and recollections. This can be risky when in the hands of somebody that can-do damage. These episodes likewise helped me to remember individual experience that I had in the pass that I might want to recall in detail as I assume a foggy memory of it. This additionally helped me to remember how in the event that you need you may almost certainly share every one of your contemplations through web based life and that can be risky in light of the fact that imagine a scenario in which you show recordings that can make other individuals uncover. There are positives and negatives to the innovation that was appeared in the shows. They can either be utilized for good or detestable and that is all up to the client. This likewise makes me think how these innovations are being controlled and how the administration can utilize this innovation to keep an eye on others. On the off chance that these innovations at any point do turn into a reality it can change how we get things done in our way of life. Connections will change in the way that nobody will confide in you without seeing the video to demonstrate it. This isn’t something that somebody needs to occur. We ought to have the capacity to confide in our companions and friends and family without taking a gander at recordings of them appearing entire everyday life.

I got a look at what life would look like if individuals were held to a rating framework. Individuals frequently run over via web-based networking media as though everything is perfect in their life and you regularly don’t see the genuine them. I trust internet based life likewise prompts less important in personal connections in an individual’s life. Personally I have had actual encounters with “friends” who are always posting up on how great of a life they have and how they are always happy, and going out to new places. However they are actually the complete opposite if you were to see them in person. They are sad deep down and feel this emptiness that they try to fill this void with making people believe that they are “perfect”. Social media is a scary place and I would not want to live a life trying to please everyone around me and never being genuinely happy. In Nosedive individuals are giving a rating somewhere in the range of 1 and 5 dependent on your appearance as well as communications. This clearly makes a few people need to live as they do via web-based networking media, so they seem to be great and get 5-star evaluations. Individuals with scores more than 4 are viewed positively and are even qualified for advantages that others aren’t. I was anxious while watching this episode and figured something like this could be conceivable later on. Individuals are progressively getting to be fixated on games and social media frameworks that they can see satisfying feedback  from. On the off chance, everything else is held to a rating why not people? The main issue is who might speak to themselves honestly. Everybody would act counterfeit day in and day out and uneasiness and dejection would almost certainly be through the roof. It was particularly intriguing when the primary character saw what her life could look like if her rating was sufficiently high and she had the capacity to get the condo she needed. It completely assumed control over her life and she wound up fixated on hitting the 5 star point.

Ex Machina was acceptably a great movie, I started the movie with no intentions of enjoying it to be completely honest. However i grew fond of it and enjoyed the suspense. The point of accomplishing the ideal method to make computerized reasoning, an AI, is one that numerous individuals wish to accomplish and one that society is envisioning. Robots a6re delivered to bring advantageous for our day by day life. In the film, “Ex Machina”, the robot Ava manipulated Caleb and gained his trust to help escape from the lab, and murdered Nathan. This film works to perfection of offering conversation starters about the eventual fate of mankind and whether we will almost certainly control AI that may take over in the event that we are not cautious. It’s interesting to see the robot Ava imagines she is impassive all through the film and her capacity to utilize feelings and sentiments to control people is outstanding.After viewing the film, I don’t generally stress over the fate of AI, robots will possibly have feelings if the person who made it planned to give them so, also human feelings are difficult to impersonate. The facts demonstrate that robots can be hurtful to us, because of its mistakes in the making of it. But at the same time it’s consistent with some other advances, similar to cars, cell phones and earphones. Occasionally, we hear the news of a telephone blowing up because of its low quality, and it’s much the same as AI, they could be destructive to us. Consequently, the most critical thing is the quality control, we can avoid this occurrence later on. The setting played so well into the idea that Nathan genuinely was a crazy lab rat who separated himself from all of society due to the extent of what he was trying to achieve. I preferred how the story was pieced into sessions each assuming an essential job in the development of the film. this film felt very genuine when Nathan started to disclose how he figured out how to plan Ava so well.

Lal begins learning human practices by watching the team on the ship. At last, an issue in Lals brain and makes the android glitch. Data eventually discovers that he couldn’t spare Lal so he deactivated the android. Lal was winding up all the more a human qualities by communicating the love she has towards her dad Data. This raises the topic of whether it was moral to deactivate Lai. Making an android like Lai could be extremely hazardous and it raises the inquiry whether it is moral to make such creation. I am studying electrical building and one piece of the IEE code of morals is to not make whatever future destructive to society. In spite of the fact that the android was not a peril the general public, one day somebody could make an AI android that could assume control over the world. I trust that as long as you realize what you’re doing and have the experience, it is moral to make an android like Lai. In spite of the fact that Data was not able spare Lai, the production of Lai is vital for the progression of innovation. It very well may be said that Lal is the prodigy of Data since he was the one that made Lal. It very well may be additionally that the child lives with the parent until they can fight for themselves. The parent shows them everything about existence and how the world functions, anyway the commander does not think so. He is attempting to break this bond between the parent and the child and I trust that that isn’t moral. He has no option to isolate them as they are associated and he definitely should be understanding on this subject since he is a father himself. If androids somehow happened to duplicate themselves than the world may have a new population of a different breed.
