Alex Garland, the director of the film Ex Machina, showed a different method of the Turing Test, a test in which a human subject talks to an AI and a human without knowing which is which. If the subject cannot distinguish between the AI and the human, then the AI would pass the test as conscious. Instead in the film, the tester gets to see the AI and talk to her through her a glass window. Other than the technology, Ex Machina also shows some societal views of gender roles. The views being in which males are typically seen as the violent ones in relationship and woman as the weak. It shows how abuse and mistreatment of the creator of the AIs, can lead to his downfall by his creations. The AIs being mistreated by their creator show how manipulation led to maleficent actions and how the way they communicate their “feelings” is their way of showing consciousness. Ex Machina is a science-fiction film where a coder wins a “competition” in which he gets to reside at the CEO’s luxurious real estate for an entire week. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) then finds out that he has to test an AI called Ava (Alicia Vikander), on whether she’s conscious . As the week progresses, Caleb realizes that …show more content…
At the end of the film, Ava left Caleb alone, locked up in a room. She manipulated Caleb with feelings of attraction and care and was basically just using him as her means of escape. She probably came up with the idea that if she pretended to like Caleb and acted like a damsel in distress, she can get Caleb to help her escape. Coming up with such a deceiving plan to manipulate someone and appeal to their emotions to pretend to show love and affections towards someone, in my opinion, means you do have consciousness. If you weren’t conscious, you wouldn’t think of creative ways to use someone in your favor. Leaving Caleb locked up was probably also a way to show that she’s done using him and she doesn’t need him
When observing the film Training Day it is very hard not to notice the way in which race plays a part in the film. It's not like a Disney film in which the prejudices against people of color are very in your face, but it's clear enough for anyone to make something of. The first thing to note is the typical Hollywood scenario of the white male hero. The main character Jake Hoyt was one of the only white characters in the movie and he seemed to be the only one who was doing the right thing. Everyone else was a person of color and they were depicted as almost savage like. Hoyt was the one who saved the girl from being raped and he was also the one on Alonzo's team who saw the wrong in what they were doing. Hoyt seemed to be the only person in
A girl named penny and her family have just moved back in town Penny noticed a red car at Mrs.Ruthie’s house and saw Caleb Devlin in the car.
Arthur Miller was both mindful and precise when developing the characters for his plays. The female characters of The Crucible were created deliberately to express certain stereotypes in order to symbolize the role and treatment of women at the time. The women of Salem were property in the eyes of men, which was the common mindset of the people in 1692. Women are stereotypically thought to be irrational drama queens as angsty teenagers, but are expected to turn into well mannered, loyal, obedient wives by full adulthood. If this fails to happen, it wouldn’t be so unusual for someone to just start a rumor saying that the woman in question was a witch. This would most likely end in her getting killed, even though she’s more than likely to be innocent. Needless to say, the 1690’s were quite a difficult time to be a woman.
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813(Gary vii) a time when women had “few legal and economic rights or even receiving little respect, women can be seen as oppressed victims of a patriarchal society, subordinate first to their fathers and, then, to their husbands who had, of course, been selected by their fathers” (Swords, 76-82). At first glance one might think that Pride and Prejudice reinforces sexist stereotypes, however upon further examination of Jane Austen and her heroine Elizabeth it is clear that Pride and Prejudice in fact erodes the sexist stereotypes of women.
Conner and DJ had been together for a while, but he shows his true colors when his lost love Haley moves back to town.

The movie, The Illusion of Race, focuses on the scientific discoveries of how humans cannot be distinguished from one another despite the certain characteristics that society has grouped to a certain ethnicity. A group of diverse students was selected to take part of an experiment that evidently proves these scientific discoveries by comparing their DNA with one another.
Stereotypes are commonly held generalized beliefs that most or all individuals sharing a given trait also should or do share other attributes assumed to be associated with aspects such as race, religion, and physical attribute. While stereotypes can erroneously shape people’s views of others, they can also influence the stereotyped individuals’ behavior as people often attempt to conform to these flawed images, especially in regards to gender stereotypes. Shakespeare’s great play Othello uses its main characters to embody the characteristics of the stereotypical females and males according to society’s liking. The stereotypical woman is loyal and faithful to her husband, while the male stereotype possesses strength, control, and dominance.
3) One of the films would be Erin Brockovich, were Erin is judge for being a single mom based on her appearance she is also label as a whore an example would be Ed that tells her that she looks like someone that likes to have fun, these is of course the stereotypes that society inputs on her. Erin in the film does not meet the ideologies of being femininity and at the end we see that she does succeed at work but her love life and family gets scarified by these.

Eventually Catherine finds out about the Love Dare and notices a change. She is still convinced to file for divorce because she still cannot fully trust him.
In “Othello,” William Shakespeare extensively explores female stereotypes that occur during the playwright’s time. Throughout the Shakespearian era, women were seen as the inferior sex, over whom men had complete control and thus forcing women to act submissively and obediently in front of their husbands. Men believed that women were objects who just cooked meals, cleaned the house, and bore children while society just accepted these degrading roles. William Shakespeare extensively reinforces female stereotypes by presenting the deaths of Emilia and Desdemona to be rightly deserved for defying their female gender roles throughout the play. Emilia and Desdemona are polar opposite characters who
So Charlie and Dylan went on their way to the toilets, when they got there a window was open and he wasn't in there. Charlie asked a question. ‘If he isn't in the toilets where would he have gone?’ he favourite spot to go to is the kitchen. When they got to the kitchen area they saw him and asked him if they could speak with Caleb in a spare room that was free. They spoke quietly so no one could hear them talking. After a hour they were done talking, and there were no clues matched up to make him guilty, so they said ‘thank you for speaking with us.´

Over the course of history, women's general social standing has ranged anywhere from merely someone’s wife to beloved queens. However, in a majority of cultures, women are and have been seen as the weaker sex and less capable than their male counterpart. Even today, in what is considered to be an open-minded and forward-thinking society, prejudice and inequality still remain. Lingering stereotypes from archaic mindsets are present in 2018, so one can only imagine what was said of women in the 1800s. Jane Austen was a revolutionary thinker in terms of women’s equality when there was none. In a time where the only thing given to a woman was a dress and advice to smile prettily, she changed the normal basis put forth for marriage. That being said,

As I walked out of my nine-story apartment complex, I saw an interesting array of faces. Mixed genders, some male, some female, all very different deep down inside. I study their faces, wondering what it'd be like to walk a day in their shoes. Some people are like open books, you can look at their facial expression and instantly guess what their emotions are, yet others are like locked diaries. You can't tell what they're thinking and you'll probably never know. I shake the thought out of my head as I rummage through my pathetic excuse of a handbag, pulling out my most recent bank statement. Thirty-two cents to my name. How do I live like this? My train of thought is lost as my mind ponders elsewhere. Do you think people can tell I'm a broke
