i think that the most important thing I learned in your class had to do with the Frankenstein complex. During this unit we discussed that to have this complex meant that you were afraid of what you create or the possibility/knowledge of what you could create. I realized that in life sometimes this fear holds us back from things that could bring us further along in life or give you a life lesson. Then it made me think of all of the missed opportunities that I have passed.
I came into this class with the thought that all science fiction was about aliens and time traveling. I have learned about all of the different elements that come into play in science fiction. I learned of Extrapolation and the possibility of all of the cool gadgets that could come into play. I also learned about xenophobia and frankenstein complex and how these fears control our actions and how it plays into the storyline of science fiction stories.
My favorite unit this semester was the Frankenstein complex unit. I liked this unit the most because I enjoyed all of the short storied that we read during this time. I also really liked the episode of X-Files that we viewed during class. In general I loved watching the episodes and movies that you picked out because I feel like they complimented what we learned in class nicely.
