While at Model UN i lost my questions that y'all helped me make for thesis. my book is Enders Game by Orson Scott Card and my AOI is dealing with acceptance, race, perception, and the prejudice about anything different. The novel is about a dystopian future where the world has been attacked by an alien race once before, and in an attempt to have an advantage, take young children into space for training to become commanders. All the children see is the evil and foreignness of the aliens, but Ender is able to defeat them by understanding them and essentially thinking like one. Ultimately, the humans end of completing a genocide and kill all of the alien race save one queen egg ( which can respawn the species) that Ender finds and decides to take care of in an attempt to make up for the horrific crimes he has committed against a foreign culture. once again just looking for leading questions like the ones we did in class.
thanks in advance,
Mike
These are the ones I had written down for you:
ReplyDelete-Why do people fear what they dont know?
-Who promotes misconceptions?
-How can ignorance be a tool for those in power?
-How did prejudice start?
- Is prejudice born or taught? If taught, how so?
- How does ignorance fuel hate?
...hope this helps
I had all the same questions that meg had for you, the only different ones that I had were "why does prejudice start? Do people recognize the prejudice around them? Can prejudice be overcome? How is it overcome?"
ReplyDeletehope that helps!
