There are plenty of documentaries covering this topic, but they aren’t particularly sci-fi. Then I came to the example in the movie Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs.

I know this sounds very weird and possibly also a…Read more

Greed, corruption, and lack of compassion are very hard to rid anything of. Although, like you mentioned they are something we can definitely strive for. All of those factor into the wellbeing of humanity. It seems like this is also a very good connection to sacrifice. Good job!

I agree that in the same way these games have separate civilizations in one universe, we have separate civilizations on one earth. It is in our best interest to make alliances with other regions and races. No matter if we like it or not, we are all here together and great things could come out of humanity if we’d all work…Read more

I see sci-fi as a predictor or a possible prediction. Yes, this may be true or false when it comes to the real world, but if we ignore the lessons from sci-fi we might end up as they do in the stories. Sci-fi is based on futuristic science, although some are completely fake, there is more sci-fi that relates to the world in more ways…Read more

I also completely agree with the preventative measures you highlighted. It is so important for all of us to stay informed and cautious. It is also very surprising to me that some people still blow off the virus, despite the death that has been caused by it. Those people should not die in vain, the families of those affected…Read more

There is an increasing problem with the state of the world and the impact we directly have on it. There are so many things and locations that could be lost if we continue on our way like we have been. There must be action taken! The problem like you suggested was with the government’s…Read more

I can really see those issues in the government now. There are so many ways that people are controlled in our modern society. Even smaller instances of employees in companies or children in a family. Even the education system we have today is somewhat controlling. There are certainly ways to combat this, but it may be…Read more

With the current situations like the ongoing pandemic, upcoming climate crisis, and governmental control of its citizens it’s clear to see that many sci-fi issues are just the same in our daily lives. If we were to try to fix these issues or at least make…Read more

This article is of the same issue but instead of following my revised story where South Korea had reacted quite softly, they highlight the harshness and demanding nature for apology from North Korea. The way that I revised my article was as if I were Winston from “1984” in North Korea trying to wip…Read more

By having these regulations it provides us with a safe way to innovate. Yes, some inventions and improvements have been made because of uncontrolled conditions, but there can still be that same innovation with rules. Regulations are…Read more
