Identify what each clip or character in each clip is taking so seriously about life.




These clips showcase humorous scenes from movies that in many ways are mock-epics, a specific type of satire that evolved from works like Candide and Gulliver’s Travels. In these mock epics, the characters take their goals very seriously and see themselves as heroes. However, the audience sees a different story, one that is often absurd yet grounded in reality.
After watching the three clips above and reading the first two cantos of Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock, do the following:
1. Identify what each clip or character in each clip is taking so seriously about life. Then explain the absurdity of their actions to you and other viewers. What might the director/writers of these films be trying to say about the serious aspect you identify?
2. Do the same thing for the first two cantos of The Rape of the Lock. Try to identify the serious aspects of the work as well as explain the absurd moments. Then explain what you think the author is trying to communicate about the real world to his audience.
Explain your position clearly in a 200-word paragraph.
If you cite from a text, film, or other source, make sure such evidence is accurately and correctly cited according to MLA 8 standards.

1. What determines whether or not a resource is scarce? Why is the concept of scarcity important to the definition of economics? 2. In the coordinate system of graphs, there are two main relationships between two variables. With the use of numerical exam

MA2 (first draft) a public/social problem im Algorithmic culture

My essay topic is “Financial services in the “scored society” loans and credit as you can see below for topic options, These are all the instructions for the essay and what should be included!

Our audience today includes machines: The machines parse out the data we provide, running selfies through facial recognition software, our health data through risk indication analyses, and send the results on to marketers, employers, insurers or governments.”
-Jill Walker Rettberg
Jill Walker Rettberg’s image of machines collecting data on us and delivering it into the hands of those who may have ulterior motives may strike some of us as paranoid and dystopian. But what if this image is not an exaggeration? Perhaps she is simply describing the reality of our everyday situation within algorithmic culture.
In this essay, you will investigate a problem related to one of Module 2’s topics (select ONE):
Video games, personal identity, and discrimination
Big Data Policing in the US
Migration, Borders, and Surveillance Technology
Financial Services in the “Scored Society”: Loans and Credit
Microtargeting in Politics/Voting
Your paper will be an outline of the larger scope of your problem. Through your research you will attempt to answer some, if not all, of the following questions: What is this problem? How, when, and where did it emerge? Who/what is responsible? Who is benefiting (cui bono?) from this problem and who is suffering? Last, do you think anything is being done or can be done to resolve the issue?
Your genre is a college-level, academic essay. In college, it is the standard form for communicating that you have read assigned materials and, more importantly, thought about those materials in depth. Your audience is made up of your college peers and instructors. But bear in mind: college essays in one class ought to be developed into longer, publishable materials in a more advanced class. So don’t delete these essays at the end of the term. Keep working on them! One day, this might be your master’s thesis.
Purpose: The purpose of outlining a problem could not be more important. Consider this: If someone wants to resolve this problem, they will need funding, but to convince funders, they will need to cite research that demonstrates that the problem really is, in fact, a problem. So your job is to DEMONSTRATE that this problem is really a problem, where it comes from, who suffers, and who benefits. Your purpose is NOT to solve the problem. Save solutions for a different project (that said, you might entertain some solutions towards the end of the essay or in your conclusion, thereby answering the question, “what is being done to address the problem?”, but this is NOT an expectation for this assignment).
Moreover, we should not merely accept algorithmic culture simply because it is already present. It was not present a mere two or three decades ago. And why should we assume that just because an app, website, or system is in place, that it is fair, just, or unbiased? But it is up to researchers and writers, like yourselves, to uncover how these digital phenomena are contributing to the inequities of the world.

Learning Outcome:
Write texts that demonstrate awareness of audience, purpose, and genre across multiple communities and contexts.
