Intro:
Introducing myself has always been the hardest task. There's everything about me and the opposite of it. My personality is extremely contradicting. I guess that's just how Capricorns are. I am a very fun person, yet very serious. Sometimes I'm a genius when it comes to difficult situations, other times I can pause and my brain freezes on the simplest equations. Just like I said, I'm everything and the opposite of it. Organization and nature are a must for me. It wasn't easy for me to decide what I want as a career after college, so here is what happened, I don't like hearing, or reading the news because it could be negatively depressing sometimes, but I'm also a political science major and hoping to become a lawyer soon for criminal cases. I believe you're not surprised! At this point all I know, is that I am fully committed and dedicated to get through this semester with all A's. Thank you for taking the time to know Nada,.... yes! That's my name.
6 Quotes:
1. Understanding Patriarchy by bell hooks
Quote: " I was taught that it was not proper for a female to be violent, that it was 'unnatural'. My brother was taught that his value would be determined by his will to do violence (albeit in appropriate settings)."
Response: I understand that she lived on a farm, but what country is she from that teaches this behavior?
Quote: " Patriarchy demands of men that they become and remain emotional cripples "
Response: No offense, but in my opinion I've always felt that men were cold hearted, or more likely, "less emotional" than women. Society always differentiated between men and women. Even pilots can not be women and when I searched it on google, the answer was "its a pipeline problem."
2. What Memes Owe to Art History | Artsy https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-memes-owe-art-history
Quote: "For a cultural phenomenon with an attitude and aesthetic that feels so relentlessly contemporary, the knee-jerk response to the idea there is a 50-or-more-year history of “memecraft” that is not all LOLs and JKs is a hard “no.” Yet, that skepticism—and the way memes subvert it—reveals how the artistic lineage of memes is spun out of some of 20th-century art’s most revolutionary ideas."
Response: Not quite sure what he's referring to.
Quote: " Through humor, memes incite a collective reaction to everyday life as well as reveling in it, in a format no less playful than it is political, decoding the murky structural screw-ups, paradoxes, and hypocrisies of our current political climate."
Response: I remember seeing memes even cartoon figures during Trump's election. It was sending messages in a humorous way, yet extremely meaningful.
3. Memes Are Our Generation's Protest Art. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbzxa3/memes-are-our-generations-protest-art
Quote: "Memes can spread far more quickly than the songs or art projects of previous generations, and there’s such a low barrier to entry that anyone can make them; they can go viral in a matter of minutes."
Response: Our generation now with the power of social media and influencers anything can go viral in matter of minutes. Unlike back then, I remember my mother telling me she'd hear about wars changes in parliament through the radio, then updated by T.V. Today your word can be heard and spread all around the world while you in place.
Quote: "At the core all memes, regardless of their politics are tools for expression. Memes help to articulate specific points amplify ideas and testify emotions,” Burroughs says. “ Something can be comedic or joke, and still be incredibly poignant."
Response: Again that also proves the point of the first quote. Your voice is heard and by taking advantage of memes you express yourself or a group without being illegal (sometimes). If it is used right and without being political.
