After we have studied the theories, concepts, methodologies, and perspectives from this course’s readings and beyond

Description
After we have studied the theories, concepts, methodologies, and perspectives from this course’s readings and beyond, e.g. Science in Society, students are provided the hands-on learning opportunity to analyze and critique a science fiction film, or film pertaining to visions of science and technology, their ethics, philosophy, metaphor, allegory, and their relationship to society, humanity, mankind, nature and environment.

identify the ethical and philosophical dimensions of science and technology;
? Analyze critically how they are embedded in metaphors and narratives that represent deep cultural ideals and assumptions;
? Identify the ways that our ideas about science and technology are shaped by representations, where ideas arise about science and technology both currently and historically.
? Demonstrate a historical understanding of the power and value structures, in which science and technology are cultural and social products and thus are articulated in cultural metaphors and narratives.
? Examine critically the ways in which science and technology are means to ends (and what that ends might be) and the extent to which science and technology have become ends in themselves (and what the impact of that might be).
? Identify how the cinematic, literary and non-verbal representations of science and technology create discourse power that shapes fashion, capitalism, propaganda, buzzword and catchphrase.
? Show an understanding that between the poles marked by the radical critique of science as totally relative and the position that science equals “Truth,” there exists a range of questions and modes of inquiry that might represent alternative ways to “do” science.
? Make active connections/synthesis to your previous G.E. and other coursework in discussion, oral reports, and written work.

Part 1. A brief summary of main plots, characters and storyline connecting to visions and principles of science and technology;
o Part 2. A brief List of Theories with their Definitions. At least you must use three or 60% theories from our class besides your other classes for your film

o Part 3. Most importantly, your Critique and Analysis by applying the theories you listed and defined in Part 2 to the plots, characters, metaphors
and narratives, themes, thesis, and arguments, which are pertinent to visions of science and technology of the film.
