In my opinion‚ I think that Ava does have consciousness because even though she was built and programmed she is self-aware and she conspires with Kiyoko against Nathan. Based on Nathan’s reaction to “kill” Ava in order to prevent her from escaping‚ this was unexpected from Ava. Ava also decides to leave Caleb there in order to be free. She used the knowledge that she gained from the internet for her own gain. I think that Caleb began to believe that Ava was more conscious than he initially thought

divided African continent . The Wretched of the Earth reads as a warning sign to those residing in the newly independent nations of the Third World‚ of the threat posed by the nationalist bourgeoisie. His chapter on ‘The Pitfalls of National Consciousness’‚ examines how the aspirations of the colonized bourgeoisie come to overshadow the desires of the working class; and‚ rather cynically how this privileged elite merely seeks to overthrow colonial rule in order to usurp its position of dominance

This week chapter 7 of Fee and Stuart talked about the four gospels.The four gospels basically talk about the narratives of Jesus’ life. They all talk about the same thing but from a different background. None of the gospels supersedes the other but each stands beside the others as equally valuable and equally authoritative. The four gospels were written by Mark who was the first author‚ and Mark’s gospel was rewritten twice by Matthew and Luke to meet different needs. The four gospel are a hermeneutical

The approach that I strongly agree with is the John Stuart Mill’s doctrine and Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a moral approach that believes `` the supreme principle of morality is to produce as much happiness as possible`` (118). Utilitarianism evaluates the right action according to the amount of happiness and absence of pain. In addition‚ ``there is in reality nothing desired except happiness`` (118).The right action should result the most desirable happiness as many people as possible. I choose

In summary‚ it is rather evident that

Stanley Cohen (1973) suggests that the media depiction of anti-social behaviour helps to construct folk devils. Folk devils become the focus of public fears and anxieties. They are made to stand for wider problems and concerns and‚ in the process‚ become the figures who exemplify ‘what is wrong with society today’.
