👪Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation To the Unconscious 👪

The passage “Family guy and Freud”, written by Ms. Peacocke, explains that there is more to the fox television show Family guy rather than just crude humor and comedy insults towards people in real life. From reading this passage, I can see why the author would think that Family guy holds Sigmund Freud logic.

The “Freudian Slip” can best explain episodes from the TV show, for example, the “PTV” playwright found in the passage (pg. 303- 304). This is one point that I agree with the most because, even though they use Stewie and an Oprah book to explain the following of trends, it still resembles what most of us do today with celebrity idols.

The fact that Stewie was mindlessly going to read another of Oprah’s books without him even knowing it shows all there is to us trying to be like the ones we see on television. Whatever a rapper might wear in their music video, whether it is clothing or a certain shoe, the general public strives to obtain the exact the same material over a period of time.

Ms. Peacocke definitely made this writing piece strong through inserting actual playwright scripts from the television show to emphasize her argument on the show and what lies beneath it.

Reviews by Pancho @ "Precolonial Black Africa" By Cheikh Anta Diop

Precolonial Black Africa 𓁃𓀠𓀢𓀧 This mid to large size book, originally written in French, gives readers a gateway into what Africa was like before the colonization. "Precolonial Black Africa" gives readers a detailed outlook on what life was like amongst the earliest Africans. The book sheds light on what the early Africans did for a living, how they saw each other, how they handled conflicts, how they conquered other lands, how they practiced religion, and a number of other things. Throughout the book, Cheikh Anta Diop divides the text into sections that focus on the different angles of political and social systems. For example, section 2 or II or the book goes into detail on what the socio-political status of Africa was at the time. Sections later on in the text talk about the education levels that was present during precolonial black Africa. The text is well rounded overall and makes the reader(me) feel like they're sitting in an exclusiv...

Covid-19 POV: Pilot Blog

T he STRONGEST pandemic of the 2020 decade. This was going to be an exciting year for EVERYONE! Leading up to January, talks of the town consisted of "I can't believe it's going to be a decade", "What was I doing in 2010??", "Wow a decade already??", and much more. I for 1 can say that I was very excited for 2020. When I was younger, I would lay around the TV on Friday evenings watching whatever it was that the news channel had to offer. Many times would I indulge in the show that was known as 2020 . From what I can remember, it was great stories of your everyday average people doing amazing things in life. The show covered lives both domestically in the U.S.A and globally around the world. One of the funniest episodes that aired was when this African guy was talking about how the Homosexuals in their country were enjoying the arts of fisting and eating feces from the anal area. The fact that people were doing that stuff wasn't the humorous ...

🎮What Video Games Have to 🎲Teach Us About Learning and Literacy📙 In chapter 7, James Paul Gee discusses how online interactions through video games can help create a learning network for video game players. When video game players are able to communicate with each other worldwide, it causes people to learn new things or solve the trivia of a game as a group. The unified network of gamers can allow those who participate to submit their own ideas on the game. Certain abilities and cheat codes to the game can also be developed as people play within the network. One game that Gee uses to prove this principle is World of Warcraft, an online MMO and RPG game. The game has a huge audience with people from all around the world logging in to play daily. The author was able to experience on hand just how far playing within a network can help gamers progress through these types of games. He states “But video game players can be part of a powerful network if they so desire and know-ho...
