blog 12

In the movie Gattaca, we saw Vincent who was abnormal, an underclass human by cleaning bathrooms.  As he was growing up his brother believed that his brother was smarter, Vincent wanted to travel to the stars, but his brother Antwon had different idea that he can not ever do it.  At the end he became Jerome Morrow who was able to travel to the stars but he could not walk.  Vincent tried to use his DNA successfully, but one more time his brother tried to destroy his dream.  But at the end they realized that he was better than his brother by swimming too far.
According to the essay “The Man on the Moon” by George J.Annas, wrote how people think they are superior and people not like them are inferior.  Superior people feel they have all the rights like Nazi.  Anna wrote, and the other people are inferior.  Nazi killed everybody except German people because they think that if you are not Nazi you can not fit with them that why they tried to kill everybody who is not German. 

In our society I can say that there is still “the other.”  We can judge people from their nationality or sexuality or ethnicity or color or level of education.  The role of “the other” will always be part of our life.  I don’t think that it is gonna change.  Everybody thinks that one is better than other but I don’t think so.  Everybody we are the same and if someone became a doctor or Professor this is based how much he studied during school and how high the person wants go.  If you believe in yourself you can do everything and for there is not exist “the other.”
