I am a robot or at least that’s what I’ve been told for not being emotional like a girl is expected to be. In reality, I am really emotional and sensitive, but I try not to show my emotions to people. The reason is that I have been pushed around a lot and I have been through really tough situations and it’s hard to express those emotions at times. People ask me to be more opened and others have told me “I’m a robot” which isn’t true. I’m afraid to get hurt like I have been in the past. The only way I know how to not get hurt is by not letting anyone get really closed to me, and I know is wrong, but it is really hard to explain to others that I do not have a bulletproof heart, just a heart that has been through many bullets and has covered the holes with bandaids. I am not a robot. I am an independent strong woman who has goals, and whose only mistake has been caring too much. The main reason why people use the word “robot” to describe me is because robots supposedly don’t have a heart. It breaks my heart when people say that about me, but I try not …show more content…
One being that women are weak and emotional all the time and the other one that latina’s should get married and be in the house. It may sound crazy that people still have these stereotypes, and you would think that being in a modern culture would be more evolve from this judgements often made, but in reality people put a label no matter who you are. My goal has been to prove to people that women are equally strong in comparison to men. That Latinas are smart and capable of success like anyone else. That is another reason why some people consider me a “robot” because I’ve been too independent and often don’t want anyone’s help. Not wanting help isn’t something I should be proud of because there is nothing wrong with someone wanting to help you, but I like to do things myself even if I have to struggle to do them
Many Minorities have been faced with constant stereotypes throughout their lives. Not only has this always been an issue for an extreme amount of time, but it has also negatively affected many people and how they live their lives. Judith Ortiz Cofer beautifully encompasses how Latin Women experience these stereotypes in an informative way by using specific rhetorical devices. However, her main purpose is to expel the negative experiences that she has with stereotyping, so all can understand the impact of it. Some of the rhetorical devices Cofer uses in her essay are ethos, pathos, and anecdotal evidence.
It has happened once again, I have been put into a stereotype. This time it is about being a lazy homeschooler. The girl spoke as if I wasn 't in the room or had any feelings, which made my heart a fish on a campfire. This hasn 't been the first time I have heard similar remarks, whether it is because I am a woman or a homeschooler. That doesn 't make me dumb, lazy or lack social skills. Though most are just myths created by people who make assumptions based on previous experiences with people good or bad and think everyone in that group is the same. Judith Ortiz Cofer 's essay The Myth of the Latin Woman by speaks to me because I have had similar experiences and I felt her pain.
A stereotype can be defined as a widely held, but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Stereotypes are in most cases falsified views that are used to represent an entire entity. Even when proven untrue, these persisting ideas can consume the naïve and offend the accused. As I sat in this Latin American Pro Seminar course, I noticed how unique and extraordinary each young lady in the class was. Even though they were all of Latin American descent, they differed in so many ways. I also noted that these ladies were different than the Latina individuals that I had previously seen in the media. Captivated by how intelligent and distinctive my colleagues were, I was prompted to write my research paper on the different stereotypes of the Latina woman and how I perceive them to be inaccurate.
Being different, people will always judge me and they will miss out on my abilities and uniqueness. I am not the average Hispanic female society believes there is. The number of stereotypes towards Hispanics has increased through politics and current events. Which leads to society automatically assuming Latinos are less than they actually are. Being Hispanic, there will always be assumptions about you and people criticizing you about everything you do.
All the which are negative and underestimating. The media is negatively stereotyping Latina women which is never good. Latinas are not half the things it says they are. Being known as these characteristics is hard to fight and you are seemed as less of a person. This is a good reason on why we need to expose Latinas in a more positive manner.
As for me being a Hispanic female, there are many stereotypes and judgments are put not only on myself as a female, but as a person of the Latin descendant. In our society today, we see many forms of stereotypes, racism and discrimination all over the media and even in our everyday lives. As I can only speak on behalf of a female and a minority, I can say that there are large amounts of stereotypes and ‘images’ that we have to live up to in this society; despite my personal feelings and beliefs towards this, it is part of our country and we must live with it. However, after preparing for this assignment, my eyes were opened not only are minorities and people of color being discriminated against, but also Caucasian individuals.
Terminator and Bladerunner, portrayed cyborgs or cybernetic organisms as creatures of destruction. Are they really as horrible as the movies make them out to be? They can be more useful than perceived; it is necessary to first perfect the technology involved in creating and operating them. In this paper, I will describe how these cyborgs work and how they are portrayed in the movies. Furthermore, I will explain the helpful ways that they are expected to perform in the future.
In the article, “I Use a Robot to go to School”, written by Sarah Jane Brian, there is a large photo of a group of friends surrounded by a small robot (presumably Lauren) on the front cover. Analyzing the expressions on each girl's face, it’s safe to say that each girl is a ease and content. From evaluating that information, it can be seen that the mood in the photo is a lighthearted and joyful one. All the girls seem to not care that it really is a robot that they are currently with, but who the robot is. It is inspiring how these girls are so seemingly relaxed, despite them being in the company of a traveling robot. One thing that could be inferred from this picture is that Lauren was able to still keep her friends, even though she isn’t
The movie I, Robot directed by Alex Proyas starring Will Smith as detective Del Spooner, introduces ideas to of revolution and over-morality to the humans. Spooner begins the movie dreaming about the tragedy that had happened to the little 11 year old girl he was friends with and how the robot decided to choose to save him and not her. They were in a tragic car accident and both cars had fallen into the bay. When the rescue team robot came, he yelled at it to save her, but the robot decided to save him instead, because it calculated that he had a higher percent chance of surviving, in other words, he was more “worth it”. From then on, Spooner believed that robots are do not have a heart, they can only base their decisions on logic and programs, that is, until he meets Sunny.
Dun Dun Dun Da! These four syllables are what teams from around the world are preparing for as they kick off the 2016 Robotics competition. As soon as the game has been revealed, it is all hands on deck. The road is a long one ahead, as it is six full weeks of building and mind numbing thinking to build the best robot with only one goal in mind. Win. Using all of the skills and materials available to you, a robot must be built to fit its niche in a system with flaws. That’s the beauty of the game though. Nothing is guaranteed, and you have to earn it. The season has ups and downs, but that is what makes FIRST Robotics the great organization that it is.
The biggest life-changing event was participating in the FIRST Robotics program. This program has made me realize who I am and what I want to do in my life. When I first entered the program, I was a sophomore and clueless about what I was. Everyone around me knew what he or she wanted to be in life. I did not have the mentality for language arts; I was unable to read the cryptic sentences to find hidden meanings that, to this day, I do not believe exist. I also did not care about German. Although the language made sense, I was never that interested in it. Chemistry was interesting to me, but I disliked the lack of consistent results. I was interested in the reactions occurring in labs, but the data I observed proved disheartening, with percent
The film I’m a Cyborg but That’s OK (2006) takes place mainly in a mental hospital in Korea. The main character, Young-goon, is committed after cutting open her wrist and electrocuting herself with wires. She believes she is a cyborg, and therefore if she eats she will break down. In the hospital, she meets a young man, Il-soon, who is a kleptomaniac who believes he can steal parts of people’s personalities. He falls in love with her and eventually convinces her to eat again, thus saving her life. Throughout the film, the colors blue, yellow, and white are repeated in the background, and also in the character designs and clothing. The lighting, which is high key throughout the movie, plays a role in telling the story of the movie.
The film Treasure Planet has a key robot character. He is old rusty, left behind and has gone mad. Traits similar to that of our robot character.

My neighbourhood in the future is close to being manufactured except not completely solved and up for sale, for example, robots are near being made, except are still being worked on and tested, flying shoes are really hard to find out how to make, also animatronic animals, yeah they are made, except only for play except what if they upgrade it to help and be more unpredictable on occasion, just like a real animal. I believe that the economy would be so much better with flying shoes, less people would be happier when talking to an anime robot or an animatronic animal and hopefully there will be fewer suicide attempts in the world. If someone did make all this, then the population would be more happier including the technology would be more engaged in people's daily lives.
