Victor's Blog: False Sense of Reality in "True Enough"
http://vdzenis.blogspot.com/2011/10/false-sense-of-reality-in-true-enough.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. False Sense of Reality in "True Enough". Farhad Manjoo’s True Enough. Exposes the American public’s inability to think objectively, and how biases are subconsciously formed as individuals are fed information from different forms of media. Now more than ever, Americans are forced to question reality, as theories that seemingly have no factual evidence are accepted. The most that we can do is recognize that this false sense of reality is tearing society apart. Subconsciously, indi...

Victor's Blog: Bias in "True Enough"
http://vdzenis.blogspot.com/2011/10/bias-in-true-enough.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. Bias in "True Enough". Reporters like Anderson Cooper have made it big by voicing their opinions. Cooper went after government officials during Hurricane Katrina because of their slow response time and urgency to aid disaster victims. As viewers, we like to listen to the viewpoints of those who agree with us, as they reinforce our already existing biases. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). False Sense of Reality in True Enough.

On The Road: September 2011
http://hotelpianosa.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. From what I've read so far. I feel like as we move farther into the book we will get a better picture of how common narratives are shaped by media echo chambers. I think what I'm really interested in is how an individual's community shapes their ideology, especially when individuals are allowed to chose their communities. Those Poor American Banks. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Absurdism has it’s roots in the writings of the 19. Century philosopher Søren Kierkegaar. But what ...

On The Road: Exploring Sex in Dystopian Fiction
http://hotelpianosa.blogspot.com/2011/11/exploring-sex-in-dystopian-fiction.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Exploring Sex in Dystopian Fiction. Before starting my preliminary research, I figured that sex in dystopian novels would be portrayed as either negative or a form of rebellion depending on the context of the novel. If the character is using sex as tool to fight against whatever force is responsible for their dystopia then it would be portrayed as positive, such as in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eight Four.

Victor's Blog: "True Enough" Reaction
http://vdzenis.blogspot.com/2011/10/true-enough-reaction.html
Wednesday, October 12, 2011. Additionally, with the constant evolution of technology, it's becoming harder to understand what actually is real. Manjoo describes this perfectly when he states "To light, the real danger of living in the age of Photoshop isn't the proliferation of fake photos. Rather, it's that true photos will be ignored as phonies" (82). Will photots someday lose all of their credibility? And when will every photo out there be suspect to investigation?
