Final Exam blog: Order and Chaos.

Order and chaos in society has changed over a period of time. Synonyms that describe order include command and instruct which can go with biological kingdoms and libraries, while chaos continues to be described as fluid, entropy and mayhem which describes the chaos theory behind mathematics, war and black Friday.

Order in a system in society can be closely related to the story of Brownies. reconginizeing yourself in a world where people are involved in your life is essential. Commanding the troop was the two girls who would seem to be malicious and malignant to the behavior of the other girls in their troop. "Even the only white kid in our school , Dennis, got in on the Caucasian act" shows the control over the people the two girls had. The two girls had almost complete control over their "willing" followers.

Order can also relate to the story through instruction. In the Origin of Species, Darwin instructs people to think a new concept of where people have derived from. He introduced the concept of evolution. He knew though since the concept is relatively new and the majority of people in the time period believed in creationism. "Varieties cannot be distinguished from species-except, first, by the discovery of an intermediate linking forms". When Darwin instructed people to think of alternative ideas of where people originated it changed the present into a system that believes in the conceptual theory of evolution.

Chaos in war go hand in hand. When war starts chaos follows close behind. The communist Manifesto describes a war between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. "The progress of dissolution going on within the ruling class" means that the failure of the ruling class is eminent and that they will soon fall to war, corruption and ultimately chaos. War can be directly compared to Black Friday, a favorite time when people all go shopping at the same time and make the workers there experience a new found hatred for disrespectful shoppers. I used to work at a shoe store and it get hectic around that time. The psychology briefer course article describes the material me which is what is used to cause the chaos during the holiday. "We so appropriate our cloths and identify ourselves" relates to this because people need material possessions and will do anything to get them; which is very unfortunate for a store employee being in the front lines trying to tame the war like chaos of black Friday.

Mathematics also is chaotic because it is something very few people seem to understand. The chaos theory itself and the butterfly effect mentioned in The Butterfly Effect are directly correlated mathematically and scientifically. "This new run should have exactly duplicated the old" states that everything done once the same way should repeat itself. The common mistake with that logic is that it doesn't and many variables in those experments could be unaccounted for. When the theory is used it shows everything has a tendency to diverge and go into seperate directions at different intervals. When math and chaos form together they create a balance that no one seems to notice.

It is evident the the course has deepened my views of order and chaos and had given both theological and scientific evidence in supporting many of the daily aspects in human existence. When Order is in surplus chaos must come and prevent the cycle from going into complete overload and vice-versa with choas getting to strong. Even thinking to high school the order and chaos that went on prepared us for graduation and to the movement into our new and unexplored world.

Choas theory applications to life

How chaos and mathematics relate are directly correlated. Life and math along with chaos create another form of chaos which can be seen in society. The theory behind chaos through mathematics into life situations is difficult to comprehend because many people do not comprehend the purpose of matSee full size imagehematics in society.

Life being affected by math is inevitable, hence the theory behind chaos relating to math makes sense. Chaos and order are kept in mathematical balance using this theory while maintaining the order in life. Majority of our structure utilize a lot of math. buildings use trigonometry to be built. Science incorporates directly into math. Evolution of math over time developed into our modern society where order and chas are kept in balance through many methods.

Evolution

The lecture given touched on subject of evolution. The concepts behind evolution described genetic and environmental effects. The genetic variations that do not code fr normal DNA combinations are called mutation, which is the change in the genotype of an organism. The changes are random and do play a role in the study of evolution. The environmental effects are not random, but rather selective. The selective components in the process is called Natural selection. Natural selection is not random,it choices which phenotypes and genotypes can pass their information onto the next generation

The effect of creationism in relation to evolution is direct by teaching and conflict that it may cause. The adverse effects of human nature play a role. People within religious affiliations did not approve of the teachings of evolution because it defied their own logic of "god creates everything". The theory of creationism has been dis proven because of the evidence collected from scientists of past and present scientists.

The science of evolution is ever changing as the reasons keep developing and changing. The basis on how evolution started was from a journey and the science behind it seems to be traveling on that journey. I learned what i will be encountering in my later years as a biology and environmental studies major. I found that the phylogeny of many different species and how they came into existence to be rather intriguing. The conflict between religion and science still continues to this day.

Blade Runner


Blade Runner describe a futuristic complete capitalistic society where slavery of genetically modified humanoids are slaves. The society itself is chaotic because of the primitive tactics used in the movie. Slavery was in the past and revitalizing a fallen misery is tragic to those who are human themselves. Just because the person is not completely human doesn't mean you can treat them like they are a cow in a herd of cattle. The reason this capitalistic society is so powerful is because of all of the cooperation's. The relation with life today is different from the depiction that was given in the movie. The technology has not advanced enough to create clones nor would people be prone to using human like clones because it would be unethical.

Women Activism reaches campus

Women activists have many different definitions of how it is accomplished. The American way of activism differs from the world view and especially the African perspective. The African perspective of women's activism. The Burial at Thebes relates to the struggle women go through and it can also cause in it's own sense orderly chaos. When the women in Africa went to the European explorers and tried to tell them what they are doing incorrect by using body language. When that failed the women would band together and hurt the man (of either ethnicity) for harming the woman.

In The Burial at Thebes, Antigone was treated horribly by her uncle Creon of Thebes and she committed suicide after sentencing her to a cave for the rest of her life. If Antigone was in Africa when this happened the women would have united and caused an uproar out of the sheer disrespect that was thrown upon Antigone. The gender issues in the world today represent the oldest form of order and chaos representation based on the differences between the strengths and weaknesses of men and women alike. The issue continues to reveal itself in literature and in pop culture to modern era.

The morality of the justice system

How society rules in the case of the just an unjust is by the ability to read the situations being dealt with. Justice is to be given to those who are attempting or succeeding at the infamous art of mischief or crime. Morality does play a factor in the justice system. in American we have a democratic government that has set laws to prevent mischief and crime as well as moral laws to keep the peace strong. Justice and Morality go hand and hand together.

The responsibility of maintaining the laws are in the executive branch of government. The balance between freedom and power is slowly separating out. The freedom in America is the power of the country. In the Burial at Thebes, there was no freedom, only a power hungry dictator that ruled over a small city-state. Being able to take responsibility for the countries action is a symbol of justice all on its own.

Finally, being a good leader is key to being able to have a positive justice system. A morally positive leader would assist the countries in growth and development. Showing compassion in the Justice system could be a positive aspect and could cause the person to not cause the crime again. Leaders that confront the moral issues try to make laws to try matching with the times. History is meant to change an repeat itself. The same goes for the justice system's around the world.

Movie blog


The movies itself described erasing someones memory of somebody else. In my opinion i believe that the memory is a part of the self and can be part of who you are directly. As such the movie protagonist is seen trying to salvage his memory and even crying when the sedate him during his awakening. When the woman at the end of the movie returned all of the tapes of their memories to their proper owners there was a sense of reuniting the self back to the person. When the self is altered, it is usually permanent. The tapes being returned to the protagonist and his girlfriend reunited them again after the forced erasing of their minds.


Once their minds were set back into normality their lives changed and for the better. When they discovered the tapes and found out what the problems were, they tried to fix the mistakes and make them anew again. When true love is there, the person tries anything, in the case of the protagonist bringing them into the deepest parts of their mind where humiliation was present, proved that people do lose themselves when their minds are erased.
