Final Project – Animals in the Moral Community

Humans have long since thought of themselves as “masters of the universe.” Along with this ideology, they have come to see animals as instumentalities merely here to serve the needs and desires of humans. However, there may be more to animals and their intellectual capacities than meets the eye.

Forgone Privacy – Sam Cowans

In a future so comprised with and controlled by technology, the idea of true privacy and the protection of one’s privacy may be no longer. Advancements in technology, while amazing and beneficial on many levels, can open doors that allow others to peer into the very thoughts and actions that we would prefer to keep private. Furthermore, developments in newer, more covert methods of spying will surely arise. “Big Brother” could be watching at, literally, any moment.

Private Technology? – Sam Cowans

Thesis:

At face value, technological advancements have been perceived to offer many great benefits to the global population whether directly or indirectly. Technology and its well-fares to society are in the constant eye of the public and are presented through all media outlets and in almost every aspect of life. Our massive exposure to technology has made it so that it has become essential our daily lives. However, with so much technology, private information and data all passing through the system, it is expressed that we no longer live in a society where privacy is truly prevalent. Ultimately, even when we are not sitting in front of a computer monitor, technology could perhaps make it so that we are still being watched.

Research:

This article and many like state that indeed the government keeps a keen watchful eye on American citizens by way of interception of messages and phone calls. Such allegations are, of course, denied by government officials. Though, with the constant rise in faster, smarter means of technology and storing technological data, we could be being watched whilst performing everyday private activities and have no clue.

Plan:

I intend on creating a detailed series of Keyshot renders which explore and depict my topic.

Train Force One – Sam Cowans

In designing my vehicle, I focused on certain parts and aspects of other vehicles such as steam engine trains, jet airliners and rocket ships or space shuttles. I incorporated these vehicles as a means to best articulate what I initially was aiming for with my vehicle; Train Force One. As a direct line of transportation to intergalactic worlds for President Barack Obama, I needed to make sure it was capable of carrying such cargo as the president of the United States in a timely fashion of stellar capacity and getting him to his destination safely. I also had to create a vehicle that would be sleek and sophisticated enough to match the style of Mr. Obama. For this reason, a good portion of the exterior color and materials were model after Obama’s very own “Cadillac One.”

I found the idea of Obama having a personal train to be interesting, and once I decided that my harsh environment would be located within the belly of the massive, majestic monsters that inhabit the far regions of space, otherwise known as black holes, I saw it fit to incorporate aspects such as rockets and jet turbines. Essentially, my thought process behind incorporating such additions was due to the fact that ultimately nothing in the natural or physical world is known to be able to escape from a black hole; not even light itself. Therefore, I figured that my vehicle would need to be able to travel even faster than the speed of light if it were to clear the grips of the black holes.

Certain attributes ascribed to Obama as a political leader are that of public speaking, intelligence, dedication and determination or strong-will. His Preferences are equality, order and peace. Therefore, his aversions would be inequality, chaos and, in most cases, war. These qualities that Obama possess are ultimately what fuel his purpose for traveling through space. As a means to engage in peace talks with aliens, he must venture through black holes. Ultimately, he is making the universe a better place for everyone, one space mission at a time.
