October 7, 2021 Reflection

 Today we learned about the correlation between the movie Matrix and the meat industry. We started with the gist of the original movie, then moved on to the parody made by Free-Range Studio on the dangers of the meat industry. 

When watching the videos, it was interesting how similar the meat industry and this movie have in common. the innuendo on how we are blinded by the powerful felt as if it was not just talking about this one industry. Throughout this year, we looked at all the ways people, companies, and even countries deceive their supporters for their own profit and when noticing that I was also unaware of this, it made me want to research these censored topics. 

The Meatrix video was an epitome when it came to this idea and the way they presented it also made it likable for the younger generation. We often think that society is made from adults right now, it may look true in a short-term view, but when thinking about this from a long-term problem, it becomes clear that the change has to begin in the younger generations. Therefore, by teachings these problems and challenges that the adults struggled with to younger people, it would help with solving it in a long-term view. By using the cartoonish theme that the video took, it allowed for more people to easily view it and understand it, unlike a long bland documentary that may seem more effective.
