Gaia Hypothesis

Where could similarities possibly exist between a book set in the timeline of the 1950’s during a fictional atomic war and a movie set in the future where humans can be genetically modified? The answer is all throughout both the novel and the film. The book Lord of the Flies by William Golding and the movie Gattaca by Andrew Niccol possess many similar themes, one of which includes Social Darwinism and its survival of the fittest mentality. At a first look at the book and the movie the two may seem entirely divergent from each other but through searching deeper into both’s thematic elements, they show clearer signs as to the similarities that each possesses. Of course as mentioned before, they show a correlation between what is Social Darwinism.

In the film Gattaca, Vincent states “I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin.” Vincent is referring to a new form of discrimination called “Genoism”. Genoism is defined as the discrimination against someone due to their genetic traits Those with inferior genetic traits are known as Invalids.

Gaia is greek mythology, Gaia means earth and land. She was the mother of all; a greek goddess. The titans and the giants were born to her, unfortunately. In the ancient Greek cosmology earth was conceived as a flat disk encirced by the river Okeanos, and topped above by the solid dome of heaven and below by the great pit of Tartaros.Gaia was depicted as a buxom, matronly woman,

This poster represents the similarities between the movie Gattaca and the book the Chrysalids. In both stories the setting takes place in a distant dystopian future. Also both stories show the different types of dystopian futures. In Gattaca it shows a future ruled by order and in chrysalids it shows a future ruled by chaos, I showed this by drawing a clean city and a destroyed city.

John was a serial killer, he often decided he liked to dress up as a clown to entertain children and sometimes before he would eventually end up kidnapping then and then killing them. In his documentary it seemed as if he got caught really fast but in reality he had enough time to dismember and hide 30 bodies . his main concern with it was hiding the bodies because at first he didnt exactly know how to do it and get away with it but obviously he figured that out. It was weird too be cause his very first victim he killed was one of the last to be found, they couldnt find his body, so the police and investigators continued to dig and dig untill they finally found the last victims body. Basically after all of that his house was a bunch of rubble cause they had to tear his whole house apart to make sure they found all of these childrens bodies and make sure they knew who all of them were

Lerner’s Just World Hypothesis basically suggests that good people should have good things happen to them and bad people should have bad things happen to them. This is a view that is typically held by right-wingers and religious people. In this ambiguous world, it is much easier for someone to believe that a stripper deserved to be murdered because she was a “bad” person and to think that their spouse, son, daughter, or parent is safe from harm because he or she is a “good” person. Lerner’s Just World hypothesis can be applied to a 2 x 2 research design. If one is good, one will be rewarded. If one is bad, one will not be rewarded. If one is good, one will not be punished. If one is bad, one will be punished.

In the movies, Gattaca, director Andrew Niccol portrays a genetically based society in a scientifically advance world that twirls around the main idea and concept about genetic engineering to produce flawless genetics for a parent’s child. This main focus is shown upon Anton and his brother Vincent. Vincent, being the first born between Anton and him, gave the doctors an idea of what is going to happen in the future for Vincent based off of genetics and also gives parents the opportunity to make a flawless child base off of Vincent’s DNA as this society wants only genetically perfect humans to be superior. Children such as Vincent, being the first born, are set up for a life of disaster and of no use in their life other than for the lowest of all jobs this society has for first born. Even though Vincent is the first born, and in this civilization your resume “is in your cells”, Vincent’s identity can be reported after any DNA testing. Vincent’s desire is to go out into space along with the superior humans, but in order to do this he must get bypass all test to save his identity for exposure in order to achieve his dream causing him to go to great lengths. Vincent does this all based off of motivation. Vincent does achieve his goal and goes to space after all his determination even though his identity was a hair from detection; Vincent keeps on going and wasn’t going to stop until he was caught. This goes to prove that even though non-genetically altered humans still have

Preview Statement: The possibility of life on mars is an extravagant topic to look at. Before that, we must analyze Mars itself along with its conditions. First, we will talk about the ice caps located on Mars. Second, we will examine the water streaks on Mars. Third we will observe if the red planet is inhabitable for humans to conquer it.

Gattaca brought about some interesting points on human evolution and human ingenuity. We live in a world where babies are left to chance and genetic metaling is frowned upon, but in Gattaca that idea is flipped. Society judges those who are left to God as inferior. How can one be judged for the decision of their parents? Science is moving into uncharted territory, where we might be able to create “super humans” as depicted in the movie. Gattaca revealed both the pros and cons of genetic engineering in science.

Gaia is characterised as a feminine divinity, she has the ability to give birth and is the mother of Ouranos’ children. As she is Earth, all life origins from her and Gaia could, therefore, be seen as a source of creation. As the source of creation, she is the opposite of violence and destruction. When Ouranos imprisons his children, it is Gaia who comes up with the plan to repay him for his wicked crimes, but she is not the one who carries out the plan. That Gaia is the one to come up with the plan comes forth in the lines “and then she thought of a clever, evil plan” (Hesiod, Theogony 161). But that she is not the one to carry out the plan is made clear with the line “addressed her sons, urging them on, with sorrow in her heart” (Hesiod, Theogony 163-4). She convinces her children to do as she tells them to so that they can repay their father for his wicked crimes, however, she does so with sorrow in her heart.

Gattaca is an American based science fiction cinema directed by Andrew Niccol in 1997. The movie is set shortly where social class is demarcated by the genetic composition. Eugenics, which is the methodology of conceiving babies via genetic manipulation, has become the most typical process of giving birth (Niccol, 2015). Though discrimination is unlawful, the D.N.A analysis has become an ordinary procedure, and those who were naturally conceived are seen as ‘invalids’, which makes discriminated in various, for instance, resulting in being given minor jobs. Therefore, this research presents the summary, the biocultural phenomenon, and the real world implications of Gattaca (1997) movie.

Nursing theories can be categorized considering their levels of perception, and the literature mentions that there are two kinds of concepts: grand theories and middle-range theories. Whether concepts are grand or mid-range (MR), we establish corrective intellectual and influence practice and investigation. By description, grand concepts are theoretical, complex, and detached from practice. We are not destined to be simply grasped or experienced. Associated with grand theories, MR theories enclose less perception and interactions, are adjustable to an extensive range of practice and knowledge, can be made from numerous sources, and are solid enough to be experienced. For these reasons, MR principles are predominantly persuasive as nursing science statements the encounters of the 21st period.
