The average teen spends 5.5hours on their phone a day. Throughout all of this they are being fed information. This information is completely controlled to get you to believe what they want you to believe. It is all planned out by people with a lot of power, so they can know exactly how you are thinking and what your opinions are. This is something that was heavily mentioned in The 48 Laws Of Power, gaining power over people by feeding them information you want them to believe. ]]> 2022-05-19 18:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2191831291 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2195835930 The 48 Laws of Power talks about how many people that hold power have the ability to be a different person to match what people want. This art piece by Jessica Valdez shows someone with multiple faces, representing the ability to be multiple people. I feel this heavily relates back to what my book has talked about. ]]> 2022-05-23 13:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2195835930 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2195992302 This poem, Power, by Edwina Mathews expresses that power can be whatever you want. Power is not one specific thing, it is what you make it. In the 48 Laws of Power it explains how knowledge is the most powerful attribute. I find that interesting because that is the only thing in the poem that representing power to the Arthur.]]> 2022-05-23 14:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2195992302 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2196091542 The Reluctant Carer is a book written by an anonymous elderly home care taker. She writes about the horrible and nice things people have said before death. Often people talk about how they have screwed people over just for their benefit. One person intentional poisoned their father so they could own their business which was worth over 5 million dollars. The awful part was they already had their own business worth almost double that amount. This book reminds me of The 48 Laws of Power because it mentions punishing others for your own benefit a lot. ]]> 2022-05-23 15:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2196091542 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197722564 The 48 Laws of Power actually has no time and setting because it talks about how to gain power and jumps around multiple timelines and places. It is not a story. ]]> 2022-05-24 13:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197722564 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197732034 Bojack Horseman is a T.V. series that is about a famous Hollywood star that has everything yet can't find a way to be happy. Throughout the whole show Bojack realizes that the only way to be happy is too except what you have and just go with it. This almost the opposite as The 48 Laws of Power because all that talks about is gaining as much as you can in order to be a great person. While in Bojack it emphasizes that none of that actually matters. ]]> 2022-05-24 13:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197732034 jbrown20222 https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197768774 In Rick and Morty, Rick is the by far the smartest man in the universe. He has every materialistic item anyone could possibly imagine and more at his hands. Yet he is the loneliest and most insufferable person alive. He doesn't care about power at all, all he wants is to just be happy, and that is the one thing he can't make or solve. This brings me back to the 48 Laws of Power. He has everything the book says. He has ultimate power and smarts. Yet he doesn't have the happiness the book says he should have. So it just makes me realize that happiness is all of what you make of it. ]]> 2022-05-24 14:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jbrown20222/oxwsdh7dt8bb8n11/wish/2197768774
