1. I Am/ I Am not Living in The Matrix

From the beginning of the story, Neo suspects that something is wrong with his world: that he is somehow controlled or manipulated into believing things that are not true. This feeling that “something is not quite right with the world” resonated with many viewers who agreed that we could be living in The Matrix and not know it. What do you think: are we living in a fake world like The Matrix? How do you know? Explain your argument using evidence from your life and/or the film.

I am not living in the Matrix. As explains in the movie, "that he is somehow controlled or manipulated into believing things that are not true." However, I don't agree with it. Because i think everything that we did was real. We are living in the reality world. That wasn't everything perfect for me. I can decided whatever i want to do.
I remember many years ago when i first time watched the matrix. After i watched it that i had many question such as the world we live are real or not. Later on, I found one very interesting thing that can explain this question.Because if you can find infinite that the world you live is real. I have a friend that she bought a apartment want to design her house. She downlode a very simple software that can easy to use such as how the look they can use the software to design the home. They put the carpet, wood floor, anything you can put but the only thing you can't find is a mirror. We can't find answer but I brought the question always with me. I remember
physics class the professor told us if we want to see what is unlimited. we can use two mirror and face them together then you will get your answer. After the class, i went to ask my professor the question that i have. Why we can find the mirror in that software? She gave me the answer that computer can't imitate the unlimited things. If they do have mirror that can lead the computer doesn't work anymore.
As a result, i do the same things let two mirror together, then i find i'm still here. That's why i know i am not living in the Matrix.

Blog 7 - Revision for CAT Practice 1

In " The Dangers of Reality TV," Timothy Sexton states that the reality television give some young people dangerous information to let them think the competition is is much important the value os image over ability, and education aren't important. Reality TV changes the old belief that competition is the way to success. The author said that on many of these shows the contestants even though they have most qualified condition they often lose. If another contestants have very good image, attractively, but not good ability the person could be won. That the information shows the image is more important than ability the author worried the people get this wrong information will think the education isn't important. The "reality TV" makers want to warn the people to face the society.
When the author said "probably the single most dangerous message these shows dend is that education is completely unnecessary to fulfill the American dream." I agree with author. I think it is dangerous message to tell the people because I think education very important, I have several reason. First, education means knowledge and we need knowledge to do lots of things in our life. Second, money is important, but it isn't the most important things in our life. We need education, we want to show the ability to create something useful to help others.
Ability is much important in our life. Every people are doing the different things everyday to run our life, and we can't live without them. Such as, bus driver, doctor and lawyer and so on. They are educated, and they important and necessary in our life. If you sick and you can't find anyone to help you. The result is very serious and horrible. So we need education.
Money are important but it can't buy any skill. Such as if you don't know how to drive a aircraft even you have huge of money you still don't know how to drive it. You have to learn this skill that mean you need education. Education is very important.
In conclusion, I still strongly agree with the author. In our life we need educated to improve out life quality that why we have to learn the things because we are not perfect we are all human being we need to discover this world.

when I watched "The Truman Show", I saw the whole world in the show looks like the real world; The world of seahaven compared to the real world would seems similar.He has a very nice neighbor,they are always greeting and nice to each others. He has a family, even though some memories are not good. He also has his first love memory when he was in college like most of people. He married with a very pretty woman, even though he didn't love her much. He had a very good friend since they were children. They talked everything because he trust him. He had a very decent job like most of people, his manage also will let him to do this or do that. It all look the same as real world but i have to mention you that is all control by someone. Everything to him that is all fake but the only person is him who didn't know.
If i were him, I were do the same thing that like he does. Leave the seahaven the prefect world that all made by someone. The first reason is I don't like being control under someone. The second is I don't like to live the place that filled all the lie and i'm the only one don't know. Everything looks perfect but still fake. Have you think about the real deal? Such as his wife, they are married but that's not the true love to connect them because she is an actor. She wants to be a famous person not just because she loves him. His buddy to being with him is just because that's the order from the controller set up to watch him. No one is really want to care about him. He can't do the thing he wants to do. For example, He can't choose his love that he want. That was so sad because life is just once and short and never can go back. Everyone should choose their own life style and do whatever they like to do. That's why i will make the same decision as Truman.

QUESTION 2: Reality or Illusion?
It's illusion.Everything is made for him. Everything is fake, such as his wife,she doesn't love him, she just want to become a star because she is a actor. Mayers agrees with me when she notes that "all the actors went through a loop every day. Starting with a man with flowers, a lady on a bike and then a beetle with a messed up fender pass by his home in that order."

QUESTION 2: Reality or Illusion?
As Toby explains in her reason, "Everything that he did was real and unplanned; that makes it a reality. " However, I don't agree with her because truman lived a controlled life since he was a baby. Everything is fake and made for him , such as his wife,she doesn't love him, she just want to become a star because she is a actor.
