A little about yourself. My name is Spencer. I'm currently 14 and I'm at harrow right now. I'm I'm my first year at harrow. Great. And. I enjoy. I enjoy badminton and I hate rugby. Yeah. Okay, what was the first thing? Wait, what was the first thing? You, so I enjoyed badminton. Oh, badminton. Sorry. I just, I didn't. I used to love, I used to love playing badminton. Badminton 's great. Yeah, balance is quite fun. But I hate rugby. Fair enough. I never played rogby myself. Never played it. Lots of, lots of friends whoplayed it. But, Yeah, couldn't, couldn't get into it so I sympaththize that's great. Oh harrows Yeah harrows a great school. That's really good. Cool. Okay, what should we get? Should we get going with the lesson? Yeah these Yeah it's great. The course looks course looks great. I love dystopian fiction. That's really cool. Gonna open up like Nineteen Eighty Four that has yes, that type of stuff. That's what this is about. Nineteen Eighty Four handmaid's tail e so I think there's going to be opportunity to discuss Yeah 19 do you know Nineteen Eighty Four? Oh Yeah, I really like half of it. And and is the horgame. It's also part of that category. Yeah, it is that comes up in this very first lesson actually, because Yeah, I've read about, I've read all three books along with watching the films. Yeah great. Yeah they're a really good example. Yeah they're they're great books and Yeah, the films are good as well. You know there's actually there's a stage version going on in London at the moment Yeah of the Yeah of the first one Yeah it's Yeah it's meant to be it's looking it's looking good cool that's really good to know Yeah they there will be space it will be good to chat about Hunger Games at some point for sure Oh well, let's get going Yeah okay. So can you see this slide show that's up Yeah you can't perfect. Okay, that's good. Right on the first date. Yeah no objective. So we've got a developer you haven't seen this these slides before, have you? Oh no. Oh no. Okay. Knows what Yeah so learning objective. We're going to develop an understanding of the difference between utopia and a dystopia and how that you know how that manifests in in in screenwork and in fiction. There's going to be opportunities to Yeah to chat about screenwork, to chat about literature. So Nineteen Eighty Four hunk games theycome up success criteria, which we will return to at the end of the lesson, going to define we're going to define what utopian dystopio are. We're going to identify the ingredients of dystopian fiction. And then we're going to, Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna to discuss our opinions about the world in a mature and sensitive way. And I guess also you know think about how we're applying those opinions to English and how we best use our opinions as a part of Yeah of doing of doing a course in English. Cool. Do you just Yeah leap in if you have any questions or any comments, like feel free to leap in anytime you like. Don't worry. I don't I don't mind being interrupted. Great. Okay, so here's the start task. So I'm going to give you some I'm going to show some statements on the screen in a minute. And for each statement, you've got to decide whether you agree or disagree and you've got to develop your explanation for each choice when we discuss it. So I would advise that you maybe make a couple of notes about why for each Yeah always good to remember English is about English is about arguing. You know literature is about arguing. We've got to have our reasons and we've got to shore up our reasons, right? So I'm going to put these, I'm going to put these up on the screen and I will give you there's another slide in a second where they're bigger. Don't worry. Yeah. Okay, so this is this is page one. I'll just flick briefly to page two. Okay, so there's there's just two pages. So I will if I am going to leave these up for let's say should I put these up for five minutes and then I'll switch to the next slide and I'm giving you five minutes because I really want not just to kind of you know not just agree, disagree. I want you to note down some reasons reasons reasons absolutely. And feel free to, if you think of any literature that you've read, any films that you've seen that you think might be relevant, feel free to note those down at the same time and to talk about them when we get around to it. Great. Okay. So Yeah, I'll leave you to that for five minutes. So at twelve PaaS, twelve minutes PaaS roughly. Okay. Any questions? No, not really. Great. Cool. I'm to switch over to the next look. So okay, did you did you get to the end of those ones before? No, I got to question three. Okay. Do you want a bit more time? I'm happy, sir. I'll go back. Do you want na just start? Yeah, just let me know when you want me to change pages. Okay, thank you. Okay. Can I reinto pages? Yeah, of course, switching over. But Yeah, I've done I've done. Yeah let's let's talk through them. There you go back to the first one. That's the first. Yeah okay. Yeah Yeah great. So Yeah, let's hear your your answers and your reasons and then I'll I'll chime in as and when it feels useful. I disagree, because while some of those who are rich have owned a place through working, through hard work, however, are like a lot of people that are poor, they do not have the opportunities to be rich or have an education. So some people are rich because they either work for it or they're born into like royalty or like a rich family. But many but many are poor because, well, some don't work and some they don't have the opportunities that we have. Yeah, great. Yeah, that's a great answer. And Yeah, compelling compelling answer. Opportunity is a really great thing to opportunity is a really great thing to land on. I guess someone might ask you, you know what what kind of opportunities do? Someone might say, what might they say back? They might say, well, maybe I would say that a lot of poor people have opportunities that they don't take or they don't see. But I think if you can then like what kind of. Yeah you might want to think about, you might want to think a little bit more about how you could sort of shut down someone saying back, you know I think that everyone has the same opportunity to to make money in life, which I mean, I don't personally agree with, of course. Yeah, great. Also when you're talking about work, and I thought of the nature of work, I also thought of confidence. You know it's think you know it's it's some people lack confidence because they don't have the same start, right? Which I guess super crossing over that. Next thing, let's move on to the next one. Everyone is equal. Everyone is equal. And well, I saw that like, well, are you know are we not human beings? So how? Because I think that so I think I agree with this. And I said, everyone is a human human beings or all living beings, are they not? And we are just living living beings. We're not we're just, we're not like different. Some have advanced, some have unique traits, and some have exceptional skills or talent in some areas. But at the end of the day, we're just living beings. Yeah, great. So that's Yeah that's compelling answer. Yeah, of course, I think as well, this is a tough statement because it's saying everyone is equal, but it's not saying you know it would be easier to answer if it was everyone should be or is everyone treated equally. You know it's it's it's complex. It's a very sort of philosophical answer. And I think Yeah you've come up with A A quite sort of you know you've come up with a philosophical answer to that. I would I would also say I would suggest that how can you sort of push up that statement a bit? Like break that statement a bit? What does it mean? It's saying everyone is equal. But you've just pointed out you know not everyone has equal opportunity. Not everyone has the the same opportunity for work, for not everyone is is treated equally, right? So then it's like, what does it mean then? Everyone is equal. If you know if we've got always always thinking about you've you've you've talked about what's kind of inside people in an inherent but what about the circumstances? What about life circumstances? They they really complicate this question. So I would Yeah, I would I think you gave a great answer. I would also encourage like think about how you could sort of challenge challenge the question a little bit, challenge the statement, cool on to the next one. So next one I put. I agreed with it because life is sure. Why would you live in sanlike? I think someone said about said that ignorance was bliss and I agree with it because why would you waste your life living in sdness when you can live your life in happiness if you're gonna to die one day, what is the point of knowing the truth? Like let's say, let's say or do you believe in God or anything? I don't personally know, but you know, very, very interested to hear to discuss it. Of course, if you. Because I don't believe in God either. I'm gonna to say like if life is just gonna to snap and everything's going to go dark, why not just enjoy this moment? So and so like once in a life away, like drinking alilife away something, Yeah, I would what would I come back? Because I would say possibly knowledge, possibly confronting hard things whilst they might be, whilst they might make us sad, possibly they are part of what makes us human. Possibly they are possibly kind of meeting lifechallenges and going through things and understanding things that are tough. They might make us better people. They might Yeah, they might. It might be a part of being human. Maybe if I was pushing back on what you said, you know. But Yeah, I absolutely sympathize with your viewpoint there. Yeah, I Yeah why not be the nature of life? Their life is short. Like we should we should take our opportunities to be happy. But then I think it's a, this is really at the heart of this the kind of the little back and forth that we just had there is really at the heart of dystopian literature. You know, is it good? Is it good to take away knowledge but to give happiness? You know, do you know or know of brave new world? I've heard of it. Brave new world's a great one for this, where the basic premise is that people take, it's a society where people take these drugs to alter their emotions, to be just happy and content all the time, but they don't know what else is going on in their society. And the person at the heart of it becomes quite disaffected and goes on a journey from innocence to experience, that those journeys are really, really, really important in dystopian fiction, the journey from innocence to experience, coming to understanding. And then often the person at the heart of the story will be faced with the kind of choice that is in this statement. Do you want to know these things or not? Do you want to go back to your old life, or do you want to stay here where you are in some pain? Possibly, but you understand something. And what does it mean to be human, to be free? Yeah, it's a very rich question. No, no, right. Answers these things. Cool on to the next one. Next one I put. Disagree they might. So I thought that like you know I think that people they're driven by personal gain and like at the very heart of things, living beings, humans, they're all driven by personal gaand. So most things they do, the decision they make, it's all the all thing about how to which one's most beneficial for me. So I Yeah I think it would Yeah. But you so you disagree. But you disagree. Why does that make you disagree with this statement? Because. Well, if if if the leader of the country just does what well, like what what he what he thinks is right without like the without consulting others, the only thing hereally do is you know, just you could like literally just do, let's say, put money from the national treasury in his pocket, in his bank account and say, Oh, it's it's it's right or something. Yeah, it's the right thing to do. Yeah, great. So it depends on the conditions and it depends on the person. And you're I think Yeah what you're identifying there is that there's there's always going to be circumstances where that can go really wrong. That's why we need limits on people. Yeah if you see what I tried to do there as I try to guide you back to make that final sort of concluding leap where it's like I return return to the statement and say. You know, therefore, it's you know therefore they shouldn't be able to do what ever they think is right because so they sort of try to get you to do a sort of little conclusion, sort of essay like conclusion in that next. We need rules in order to live properly. Yeah for this I put I agree because without rules we're just like we're just another species like. I think what we're just, I think what defines humans from other living species is that humans, they have invented these ethics, rules, values. It kind of shows how they, how they how they operate. Yeah, how they have this law of sorwithout, this law. We're just Yeah, we're just another living being. We're not really. Like when we lack the traits, what makes us human? Yeah, great. I think that's great argument. Yeah we've come up we've come up with these rules. It's a part of being human to have these rules. And it's it's it gives you know rules can when you say it's like rules, it kind of sound like a bad thing. But they are so much a part of what gives life meaning, a part of what let us enjoy let us enjoy life of of it, you know knowing that there are things in place that can protect us and protect society that can also give us a lot of that helps us with pleasure in life. I think often, you know Yeah, great. If someone doesn't follow the rules of a leader, they should be killed. I disagree because someone might actually have a valid argument and like recognizing someone else's views. Well, it can provide significant insight into another viewpoint. Like let's say you're thinking of a problem of should we should we increase taxes? On one hand, the country is in desperate need of it, but if you increase the taxes and another another person might interject and say, Oh, but if you increase the taxes, the amount of people happy, like how happy the people are with the leader will decrease. Yeah like this provides like another reason for like not Yeah, it just provides like a Yeah it just provides insight into something else. Yeah, great. Yeah insight into being able to remain, I guess, from the perspective of a leader. Like leaders need to be connected to the society that they're operating in. And it's it's you know a lot of political leaders can sometimes, you know they they sometimes move beyond the reality and the kind of conditions of the country and the thinking of the people. So Yeah, I absolutely agree. It's it's a really interesting point that you know counter arguments can give insights in for the leader, insight that should be taken on board. Yeah argument is argument ments at the heart of of a society, right? And I think this way, humanities are so important is because they are about argument and they're about contradictions and questions and trying to learn and discover and understand. That's why they're so, that's why they're so important and so and so beautiful often. Right on to the next one. The government knows what is best for us. It's quite similar to the last one, I guess. Well, I disagree, because at the end of the day, the government are just a bunch of people who think they know what's best for the people. But sometimes you need like the opinion of the of like actual people who who are moved ged in the society because politicians there they like it's more like they live in their own world than rather they interacting with the actual public so they might not encounter problems that normal people face. Great. There's a great answer. What I really like there is you you dug into like what is a government? So you took part of the statement, you dug into it. You use your understanding of what a government is, then you offer a spin on that. And then you also Yeah and then you you started talking about something slightly more specific as well. You got into politicians and those of politicians. That was a really good answer. Until the next, the police should be able to do whatever they want to keep us safe. I personally disagree because well, because the police are there to enforce the law and like represent the image of the law. If if they do not follow the law or have a certain order, then like what is the law? If the law is not respected by the people who represent it, who is going to respect it? Yeah, great by Yeah great point. Nice nice ending with a question there. Yousort of set up the youset up a really nice debate to be had with the person that you're having this argument with. It's great. If you don't agree with or like someone, you shouldn't have to spend time with them. There's an intriguing one. Yeah. What did you think about this one? I pray said. Yeah, I agree. If if you if being with a person displeases you will cause you miscomfort, then why be with them out? Yeah. But what about what about if you're a what about if you're in a workplace, let's say, and everyone's been everyhas, been hired and you don't like someone else there, then then you should just tolerate it because what is your it's your work. And if it really bothers you, then just well, like if he's really done something wrong, then just like kind of. Like issue a complaint? Yeah, nice. No, you you reacted to my counter argument well there by getting you sort of felt like you sort of shifted your stance slightly. You were like, well, I can take that in. I can kind of take that into my argument too. You weren't you weren't so rigid that you couldn't kind of react. That was great. Is it okay to upset some people with some decisions if most people are happy? Oh Yeah. Oh, you know so I studied don't show a mabout like utilitarianism. Yeah and so you belike the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. And well, I personally agree with it. And I think that well, if most people are happy, then couldn't you go with the majority? Yeah. Yeah. Unless unless like unless the decision is is extremely bad, like life threatening kind of thing. Yeah. Interesting. So you kind of you feel like it provides a good moin many cases, but again, you're not you're not kind of inflexible on that. You can consider situations in which it still might be it still might be wrong. It's, you know, I think these these kind of questions that are only becoming more complicated today, you know with the Internet and with the way that you know how polarized do lot? Yeah, these are really complicated questions that are just coming up again and again. Okay, let's see the last two. You shouldn't have to listen to anyone if you know you are right. I feel like you've covered that really well. Listening to well, if you know you're right, like you're certain because I put, I pull like, well, you should still listen because he might he might have some like extremely good advice that you should listen to. That's what I put. But I mean, if he's like certain then well, he could still listen. It wouldn't hope. Yeah, great. I think that's Yeah great answer. Yeah, listening listening is important counterbalance ced debate argument. Finally, the government should be able to watch people to make sure they they are not doing anything they shouldn't. That's a very complicated one. I think I personally disagree with this because I believe people have a don't like these. Many people believe that people have rights and evviolates the right to freedom because people should have like the personal space. Yeah. Like if they don't, then. Then well a then what are the purpose of rights? That's really interesting. This is one of the poor rights. Freedom is is like wonder. It's lift you on the core rights. And if you violate that, then what are the purpose of other rights? They they basically become well, ineffective. Great answer. Yeah, I think Yeah looking to write is really strong here and there's been a lot of writing about what shouldn't shouldn't be a right today. Like should we be updating our sense of human rights to take in things like you know like to sort of deal with things like the Internet? Yeah, that was really strong. Well done. Cool. Okay, let's move on. I'm think we're gonna this next bit. I think we're going to skip this next bit because it's let's get into the sort of let's get let's get onto the meat we've you know let's get onto the meat of dystopian fiction. So this, this this task was just gonna to be doing doing a mind map. I'm sure we'll do the ones those over the next week or so. So we're starting to think about what is dystopia and the task was gonna to ask you to respond to these particular images again about we're just about to get onto a definition, what is utopia again, asking you to respond to these images sort of suggestive high tech images and we're going to share ideas. But again, this is not the this is not the heart of the lesson. Yeah, let's well do are you able to if I put you on the spot and I said, if you had to summarize a dystopia, a utopia, how how might you go about that? If if you if you feel like you can. Well, I would say diststote a dystopia is basically a future where something is it's not a pleasant future. And it's it's basically one where it's, well, Yeah well, it could seem like a paradise at first, Yeah, but it could just be like a twisted society. It's isn't like a twisted world basically Yeah a future, a twisted future world. How about utopia? A utopia is a utopia is basically where one where it's it's one where every it's what you talking. It's a pleasant future, one that has a happy and like a happy future, one word, everything. Like there's no climate change, there's no world hunger, there's no poverty, everyone's happy, that type of thing. Yeah, great. Does it have to be do you think it has to be a future? What do you mean? Could it be a sort of alternative like alternate version of now, say, because because does it have to be in the future? Or could it be could it be now? Could it be the past? Do you think the future is kind of inherent to a disturyou check? Got that like totally ia and dystopia have to be in the future. I how to I don't think they do, but they often are. What I would say is I'm I'm I'm I'm you know nitpicking there. They often are, but they don't have to be. I don't think, I think I think you could use it you could describe a dystopian version of the 19 the of Victorian era you know, I mean, I don't think so but we're gonna gonna leap onto a gonna leap onto a definition here which I which does not include this time. So if finally dystopia we've got stopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or Baars but as you said, I think Yeah depending on the way that the artist depicts it, it could look good in the first place because it might have it might have some sort of useful positives or you know it might be sort of seductive. You might say it might be a convincing at first. It might be like, Oh wow, that would help if things were like that. A strict regime and oppressed society, a place where people are controlled and they are treated and fairly. And obviously a dystopia takes in a of the a lot of the questions that we were that we were tackling earlier. A lot of those questions apply to dystopias. They are the kind of thing that the author or the filmmaker will be wrestling with. And we've got a utopia. It's an imagined place or state where everything is perfect and it's a peaceful world. And it's a happy and careful stplace where people are listening to and their best interests are being well acupon. But what I would also say is Yeah, I think you've usefully also noted that sometimes in fiction it might look like a utopia and we discover that it's cendystopia depending on what what has happened, depending on sort of what secrets are uncovered, what the society is really like. All does that all make sense? Yeah, great. Stapian words Yeah so dystopian words are they are huge in modern fictions, so many of them. Now this next exercise se involves us watching trailers of destave field phls. We've got three. Yeah. So it's it's asking us basically to think about conventions, typical ideas or ingredients associated with a genre or topic. Okay, that's a convention. So it's suggesting that we watch these three traders that take about probably I'll be back two minutes each. I'll be back. Isn't an I Am Legend like the one with ball ul Smith in that zombies thing? That's the one with milwill Smith zombies. Yeah. Do you know do you know that film? Have you seen that film? I've seen like a few clips of it, but I haven't actually seen have you know ginknow? It's so you've you've seen Hunger Games? That's one of them. Do you know minority report? Are you able to call up? Are you able to watch a trailer on your device? Now, I'm not sure how to just put it on the screen between as two artists. It's a bit complicated. Might involve as sort of having to you know move this lesson down and stuff. Are you able to like watch it on your on your device during during this. And on YouTube, I mean, if you're able to like be able to, I'll check what is it called minority reports? Okay, mine or too important. I know you're. Yep, I can as Yeah that Yeah have a watch of that and then let's let's chat about that afterwards because I think I feel like we can probably cover I Am Legend and Hunger Games without without having to watch the trailers. Cool. So I'll give you a couple minutes spending money abroad with a wise card. You could save up to 80% compared to major. Be smart, get wise. Double homicione male one female this male White 40. Senator Truman and. So think Sarah Marks perhaps ps that the future can be seen. They produce we see what been six years there's nothing wrong with the system is perfect can be stopped to what if we get any false, we arrest individuals were broken no law. But they the fact you prevent it from that but doesn't change the fact that it was. You're in a lot of trouble, yet I have a Warren in my doctor ket that smurder don't the century. Yeah finished it right. What did you let's have a think about what kind of conventions if you're thinking about dystopias, would you, what were your thoughts with regards to the trailer? So it's one where everything is controlled. Yeah, like it's it's it's it's a bit like Nineteen Eighty Four. Well, this one is where one you can as you see the future. So it's a bit. So I think I kind of get like what's going on is just one where basically. It's hard so I get what it's trying to say, but like how like the dangers of everything being controlled, like like you're you're just depending on the system and like how it just. It's it's it's. It's hard to explain it it's a bit like Nineteen Eighty Four. Yeah no, I know you're just streing towards Yeah Yeah the possibility of like our crime would get you arrested. Yeah it's very unpredictable. It could be wrong. Yeah but it's it's it's also one that you know, it's it's one way you can still, you can see the kind of positives you can, Oh no, a society without murder, a society without crying. Amazing. But what has to be sacrificed to get there is then the basis of the the dilemma. And again, this is it's an innocence to experience narrative because you've got Tom cruis's character. He's very trusted. He's at the center of the system. He believes in the system. He arrests people on the base of the system. And then he is forced into a crisis because he sees that he's going to commit murder. So he's forced into this crisis to then question the system and to uncover the the dystopian nature of his world. So he's he's coming to see the sort of the faults that he has been perpetrating, but he's coming to understand his world better. But Yeah, it's it's really, you might say, you know, is it right? If we were to sort of broaden that, you might say, you know is it good to sacrifice people's rights if it prevents violence lands, if it if it helps society more widely? But then we might also ask, like, what what is freedom worth? Is it better to be free with the possibility that there might be that you might occasionally suffer, you know, that you might have tech bad things happen to you and bad things around you. They've come up with a sort of action narrative that's able to really dig into those questions. And yet it is about control, certle control. And I think what's interesting, the kind of clash with something like the Hunger Games, Hunger Games, you do get a little bit of the kind of of the power structure. But really, the eyes of that film are cnesses. You know they're from someone who is out in the society. They're from someone who is already distrusting of the system. Whereas a narrative like minority report, you've got someone who thinks everything is perfect. Then they're coming to discover, Oh wait, it turns out that my society, ty's more violent than I thought because I am now the subject of violence. It's great thought. I'd really recommend it. It's very entertaining. Steven spelberg on on top four. You don't admission course. Tom Cruise. Yeah, it's Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise doing lots of running so it's it's Yeah it's got that shares that with the Michigan Hospitals. Cool, let's leap onto some have a look at some of the conventions of dystopian worlds that play that conventions are the fiction. Society is ruled by violence, even if it might seem at first and it's not. People live in fear. People are watched or monitored by the government. People are encouraged to think a certain way or believe a particular. So if we're looking at minority report, we would say people are encouraged to think that it's fine to be arrested before you've committed a crime, right? Human actions have damaged or destroyed the environment. We've not really seen that there. But probably in that world that's happened a bit. We did see it kind of this, you know the city looked a bit sort of grungy. You know you get a lot of really grungy polluted cities in endystopian vand certainly presents an illusion of a utopian world. So that's great. Yeah, as you've as you was one of the first things you said. You know there's the illusion that it's perfect, but actually beneath that is dystopia. So do a Little Review today. Yeah, tell me. So answer these questions for me is what is a dystopia? Etopia is basically. A like a. Where society takes a twisted turn and it might have been hidden under like a calp, like a good facade. Yeah, great. Yeah perfect. And I mean that to be honest, that answers the ansthe other questions really, doesn't it? Let's leap onto because there's a bit more information to get through that I think is helpful. Summarize dystopia, so defined by the following for conventions. Yeah, there's quite a lot of information on these last few slides. You might want to ask if you can get these sent to you because I'm not sure how to or if you want to take a photo of the screen or anything. Or Yeah, I think itbe useful. I'll take a photo. Yeah take a photo of this. You got them. Yep, got one. Great. So Ford dysopian controls technological, corporate, bureautic, bureaucratic and religious. Many dysopient novels start with the characters who are unaware of the oppression control that they're under. It's key to the journeys, how there's an exception such as the Hunger Games where we we see already that you know there's a problem in the so pies characterized with loss of individuality, oppression, fear and hopelessness. Dysohies are distinct, increasing environment that conveys extreme social and economic class to odes. So MaaS poverty, environmental devastation, anarchy and loss of individuality. What about utopian conventions? So many of these stories, war and sickness, have been eliminated, often with advanced technology, which we can include the kind of, I think they're called pre cogs in minority report settings are normally fair and harmonious, and they can be satirical and draw from science fiction. I think Jonathan Swift is quite a famous example of having some. He wrote some utopias in the honwant to say, the 16 hundreds, some satirical utopias. Yeah they promote information, independent dence, freedom. Figureheaor concept brings the citizens and the society together. Citizens are truly free to think independently. Citizens have no fear of the outside world. They tend to give their citizens equal rights alive without fear, security, and collective or government fundwelfare for all. I feel like you, you're I feel like your your statements were pretty well argued. Let's move on from this one. I think we we really we really go into them. What I would why I would say again is that they are, these works are wrestling with those statements. It's treating them as questions. It's wondering is digging into them and saying, well, what does it mean if the police can see the future? You know so it's placing pressure on those. And I think, but I think you did that really well as well. So you were sort of doing some similar work, you know Yeah how how to thank you. Oh, great. Yeah. So final thoughts here are some ways that we can connect dystopian stories to the real world and the way that and some of the ways that they have drawn upon real world issues. So government control natural disasters. Yeah we're going to, you know, climate change makes us think about how we might have to adjust our society to save more or fewer people or who's going to how we might you know sometimes we give up things like convenience in order to have a world that's a bit more you know to help the climate. So you get a lot of climate change related to Saens. We've got surveillance, loss of individuality and conformity and identity loss. So these are some of the big things that we are going to be looking at repeatedly over the next sort of week and a half, two weeks. And finally, that is a little bit of homework here. So this is about creating a drawing about the difference between dystopia and utopia. Use creatives you like, draw, print out images, write down words, phrases. I guess the simplest version would be after this if you were to you know sit down five minutes after this and do a little do a little word map of the things that you've kind of taken away from this, that would be, that's very simple version that you could do, I guess, think about what colors you might use. And Yeah, the aim would be that, Yeah, if I if I look at this in the next lesson, I can kind of see see what's utopia, what's dystopia and also see your kind of see your thinking on this. Cool.
