In one of his videos Rugnetta talks about how there may be deeper message with in Kill La Kill that is warning us of about the risk that could come from wearable technology. Will Society be able to merge technology as it intended without leading into some kind of disaster. Will society be able to find a balance between wearing and being worn? Rugnetta brings to light that people have a very narrow concept of technology. For something to be called technology, does it have to be a computer? Not necessarily, Rugnetta goes to define technology as “the total set of applied knowledge that we use to accomplish things”. As said above life fibers are living organism that feed off their host, in return increase the host physical and mental abilities. The life fibers are not computers, but they are still considered as technology because they are applied knowledge that allows its user to behave more effectively. trying not to spoil Kill La Kill for you, the life fibers that makes Matoi, Lady Satsuki, and the student council so powerful ends up almost destroy the earth and society as we know
Nazism and Fascism are prominent in daily life as shown in both movies Swing Kids and Berlin 36 by the uses of distinct characteristics such as the use of force, propaganda and sabotage. Fascism is defined as having a governmental system led by a dictator with complete power. Nazism on the other hand is defined as an ideology featuring racism and expansionism and obedience to a strong leader. These two ideologies are alike with Nazism falling under a sub-category of Fascism. However, it is prominent that Swing Kids was showing the effects of Nazism in daily life with scenes showing excessive use of force and propaganda.
In Andre Dubus’ short story “Killings,” the character Frank Fowler is violently murdered by his girlfriend’s ex-husband. Numerous readers agree that Richard Strout’s death is the result of revenge; however, Frank’s death is rarely examined. Even though his death is the pivotal point that swings the rest of the story into action, his demise is often overlooked because Richard’s death is so prominently analyzed, calculated, and questioned. So what is the origin of Frank’s murder? Although there are numerous reasons why Frank is killed, one apparent cause is his love for Mary Ann. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross from Tim O’Brien’s story, “The Things They Carried,” can certainly attest that the love of a woman is a powerful and blinding emotion. An emotion
Benito Mussolini is the creator of fascism and in this article he is going through the details of what fascism consists of and what I gather from the article is that he wants to transition from nation + state to nation =state and what that means is that everything goes through the state and nothing is separated from it including descriptions and law making on things such as war. Source 8.4 we are presented Eichmann in Jerusalem and this is an article by Eichmann who in my opinion sounds brainwashed to the law. He is unable to speak to what he really believes the government stands for. When we look at all of these sources and put them all together, we ask ourselves how do these tie together?
Fascism in Pan’s Labyrinth is a representation on how Ofelia lives in a reality where she faces the evil aspects of autocracy, and that the only way she can deal with the Fascist taking over power is to enter
To understand why Fascism gained such popularity after WWI, it is essential to find a working definition of what Fascism actually is. According to Benito Mussolini and his document What is Fascism, Fascism is “the conception of the state, its character, its duty, and its aim.” It is concerned primarily and totally with the affairs of state rather than those of the individual. The chief duty of a man in a Fascist nation is to do what he can to elevate the state to higher power or assist the state in whatever means necessary in its goals. As is evident to anyone studying this period in history, Fascism “repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism…” meaning that it is most certainly not afraid to use force or war to accomplish its objectives. A Fascist, especially a male Fascist, aspires to be a hero to his country and an ally to the state or nation of which he is a part. A woman ...
Fascism is one of the great political ideology in the 20th century.

fascist government. The book is set approximately in the year 1984, in which Winston's society is ruled by a governing force
Fascism is one type of political system based on the notion that some races are superior to others. Something that seems ridiculous in to enlightened modern day thinkers, which unfortunately makes it all the more difficult to try and understand for someone who has not experienced it. However by looking through history and taking into account some of the results of practised fascism, we can maybe begin to understand why so many people took up, and are still taking up fascism. Hopefully then we can understand exactly what we should learn from it, and possibly understand how we can prevent it appearing on the scale it did in the Second World War.
This book was an extremely captivating read that I had a hard time putting down. This exciting novel was about an upstart gang of Vietnamese youths that formed in Chinatown who violently made their presence felt, they were known by the name Born to Kill. This book had many legal issues that we discussed in class and only a couple of issues that were not handled correctly in my eyes. This is a book that anyone that is interested in Asian organized crime should read.
Fascism is defined as, “an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.” Peter Hyland reports that throughout the 1920s and the 1930s, an economic depression was growing and becoming widespread throughout the world. People were losing faith in their democracies and in capitalism. Leaders who gained power supported powerful militarism, nationalism, and initiated the return of an authoritarian rule. J.R. Oppenheimer says that the rise of fascism and totalitarianism in Europe and Russia instigated a “critical step on the path to war.”
Fascism is the destructive authority of a demagogue at work in a nation or people group. A key component of fascism is demagoguery, that is, whatever supreme leader that is trying to attain power has great support from his people; this is the main focus that separates a fascist dictator from a non-fascist one.

Fascism is a form of counter-revolutionary politics that first arose in the early part of the twentieth-century in Europe. It was a response to the rapid social and political changes brought about by the devastation of World War I and the spread of socialism and communism. The name fascism originated in Italy. The term comes from the Italian word fascio, which referred to the names of radical new social and political organizations. “Fascism is a philosophy or a system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of aggressive nationalism”(Baradat pg.850). In other words, fascism is a form government that emphasizes a nation or particular race to rule over all other nations or races, simply because they are different. The fascism ideology will even use violent means to accomplish their goals and maintain the loyalty toward the fascist group. “Fascism approaches politics in two central areas, populist and elitist. Populist in that it seeks to activate “the people” as a whole against noticed enemies and to create a nation of unity. An elitist approach because fascism works by putting the people’s will on one select group, or most often one supreme leader, from whom all power precedes downward.”(Lyons pg.10)
It supports a totalitarian single-party state. Unlike Marxism, Fascism does not believe that class conflict can bring about a change, instead fascism believes that class conflict can hurt the integrity of a country. Fascism emerged in Italy in the 20th century to stop the rapidly growing workers movement which was pushing up wages and threatening revolution. Led by Mussolini they were funded by various wealthy big businesses (the rich minority) in order to smash picket lines and attack left-wing
Throughout the course, we have read stories in which the settings take place in somewhere familiar to us (Fight Club), where we can recognize some aspects (ToTS) and where it is completely different to us (Androids). All these stories have a different image, each tells a different tale and each does not tell a true but only aspects of the truth. That’s not to say that these stories are not true at all, but if you were to ask some English major or any college student, they would say that these stories are not true but hold certain truths about the human psyche-as does any story ever told or written.
