    8. Writing About Technology: Invasion of Technology, Get Real!

      By Blanca Mallak.

      I will discuss the matter of technology and privacy.  Now as many people know technology is all around us. Even a generation has grown to be too dependent on it. I will elaborate on the impacts the internet has on young adults’ relationships with parents and the fact that our personal information can be seen without our permission.

    11. The History of Asian/American Film - Memoirs of a Geisha

      Created by Marian Russell.


      SUMMARY:

      I delve into the history and controversies surrounding the novel and movie, Memoirs of a Geisha.
      I bring in different articles and viewpoints and I interview Disney Plus actress Juliana Cifuentes
      to delve more into the intricacies behind casting and race in the film industry. Ultimately, we
      both come to the conclusion that the choice of a Chinese actor for a traditional Japanese role was
      a culmination of ignorance, disregard, and plain racism by a white casting director and crew.
