Hollywood Films

I believe that most films get the historical facts wrong. They do not want to sell us facts, but fantastical and exaggerated events based off some sort of truthful event. As a Greek who really knows what happened in Sparta, the movie "300" makes me laugh at how inaccurate it is. Of course it only makes it more marketable but the sad part is the fact there are some people out there who actually believe it. Considering the power of documentaries, Hollywood films lack truthful and educational information. That being said, I do not want to completely bash Hollywood as they do teach us some important things, but overall they skew the events so we can be more interested.

Sharing Topics and Two Sources

My research paper will tackle the problem of technology and its effect on unemployment/ the loss of human jobs. Not only will it look at current and future problems that are happening, but where it all begun. We are already in 2014 and this has been a known concern, so looking at the origins of this problem would be a great help in finding the outcome.

1.  Found in academic source complete. Technological Growth and Unemployment : A Global Scenario Analysis is a business article written in the Journal of Evolution and Technology. Riccardo Campa wrote this article with the idea of artificial intelligence affecting unemployment in mind. This is a perfect piece of evidence for my research paper  it is heavily concerned with the future of this technology and the social consequences that may arise. This really helps look at possible problems and even solutions that we can take into consideration before the problem gets bigger. "Both the Luddites and Marx have noticed that machinery did not free humans from labour, but rather caused unemployment and the inhumane exploitation of those still employed." The latter reason in this statement is extremely useful to my paper as it shows another negative spin of technology in the job world. There are two facets to this and the exploitation of those still working is usually ignored. This will provide a great amount of information for me.

2. My second source is the movie "I, Robot" written by Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman. I have watched this movie in theaters and always thought it was interesting. Fortunately, it is a prime example for my research topic.  The movie takes place in 2020 and is a futuristic world where robots are in the plentiful and are vital to every day life. They have been created as a servants for humans and are designed specifically to help us without any possible problem. The protagonist (Will Smith) plays a cop who actually hates the robots due to a robot being used to replace his father in the carpentry business. Later on the robots are controlled the mainframe system and they lead a revolution against the humans, killing many. This movie portrays not only the extent of artificial intelligence we may reach, but the individualistic and global problems that come with it. The one character we really learn about has a built up hate because his father's talents became obsolete, and the entire world becomes endangered due to the advancement of the robots. The actual and metaphorical negative problems that are coming with this technology is very evident in this movie and shows a unique balance between small and large scale. When is something "good" going too far?
