The Year of the Flood Reading Response
Right from the start, I saw that The Huger Games has a lot in common with Margret Atwood’s novel. Both focus on how advanced technology cannot save us from ourselves. We need to be protected from ourselves. We are more than capable of self-destruction and both novels demonstrate this through the dystopian lens. I admire […]
Googling Women International
In response to Professor Brundage’s post, I decided to do the search myself and this is what I came up with. The article said that this Google search was particular to results found in America so I decided to do similar searches under Google India and Google Spain. Searches Under Google.com: Google India: Google Espana: […]
Technology Diary 4: Clinical trials and the Fertility Industry
With all the technological advances happening everyday, people can live healthier and longer lives. This also means that women can have babies later in life and put their careers first and not be bound by nature. Women who cannot have their own biological children can still enjoy raising a family. Those with the means now […]
Sandberg Reading Response
Sandberg’s book Lean In stood out to me right away because it uses Facebook, the social network everyone knows about, to get a point across. Facebook is such a successful enterprise, it is a wonder there are not more literature out there that brings its policies into play in other aspects of our lives. A […]
Reading Response on Harraway and Halberstam
One of the main points Harraway makes in her essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” is how gender has too much to do with our identity. There is nothing that means “being female”. Rather than picking what they like, people are being forced into preconceived notions of what being a female should be like. She brings in […]
Technology Diary 3: Cars
Cars are a piece of technology that has become so common that most people would not know what to do without it. It not only helps us get from A to B but has also turned into something of a status symbol as the brand of car you drive can sometimes makes the first impression […]
Technology Diary 2: Birth Control
The piece of technology I would like to speak about for this week is Birth Control. When it first came out, different forms of birth control allowed women to take control of their reproductive decisions and it was met with a lot of stigma from society. Women who used diaphragms or went on the pill […]
The Hunger Games Reading Response
I believe that Katniss’s strength is portrayed through the direct juxtaposition between her values and those of the Capitol. Her main priorities revolve around being able to take care of her family. The capitol revolves around more superficial purposes such as looking good and always being entertained. Katniss seems to be the voice of reason […]
Technology Diary 1
I find that the online gaming community has been primarily unwelcoming to the female population. Besides just playing games where women’s armor is more useless than wearing plain clothes, as shown by this satirical video, the advertising for all these games is specifically geared towards men. By showing new cars, powerful guns and scantily clad […]
