Materialism- Montana of 300 Play Doe I got Prada, I got Louis, I Gucci on me are lyrics from the Montana of 300 song Play Dough off the Cursed with a Blessing album. Since he’s just talks about rockin’ labels he is a materialistic person. Montana of 300 is not a transcendentalist due to the fact that he talks about having money, name brands, and doing whatever it takes to get it.

The Tesla home Battery this is shown by respecting nature because someone would be using the natural sunlight to produce energy to power a home. The energy is collected in solar panels then connected to the tesla home battery. The solar energy is absorbed during the peak hours and then held for later when the sun light is down. Now that the power is held in the tesla home battery when the sunlight isn’t out you can use the energy during the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHswxauDGVg&list=WL&index=8

The new so called “hoverboards” by Hoverboard360 prove that technology is destroying individuality the new technology making us lazy we aren’t doing as much walking and we just need to have a center of balance to move around. This is also proving that we feel the need to stay up to date with all the new technology, if we don’t then we begin to feel inferior to other who have up to date electronics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9ZYbIuwUg

Nirmal's section :-

 The movie //The Maze Runner// created in the year 2014 shines the idea of “trusting one’s own instincts” all through the movie. The main protagonist, Thomas is a young teenager who wakes up in an entanglement. Like every other adolescent thrown in there before him, he does not know anything about his previous life. Thomas is brilliantly clever and he quickly becomes a part of a group of people who call themselves “ runners”, as they patrol the always changing maze. Additionally, Thomas thinks he knows a way out of this great Labyrinth and tries to convince his fellow companions to accompany him into the maze. However, not everyone is induced by his idea and a few people from the group stayed behind. On the other hand, Thomas and his friends who took the risk by trusting their instincts and entering the complex maze have found their way out and are back to reality.

One can easily catch a glimpse of the transcendental thought of “Materialism” from the 2011 film //Crazy Stupid Love//. Cal is a happy man living the American dream, who has a great job, a gorgeous wife named Emily, a beautiful house and lovely children. However, Cal’s impeccable life is divulged when he discovers Emily has been cheating on him and is now asking for a divorce. Now being 40 years old and single, Cal develops a thirst for dating and he goes to late night pubs to hook up with single ladies but he is having a hard time on how to even approach one. Coincidentally, at the same pub, a womanizer named Jacob is having a drink and on seeing struggling Cal he takes some pity on him and teaches him how to be a hit with the ladies. Furthermore, Jacob teaches Cal how to dress by wearing expensive garments, have a trendy haircut, and how to persuade women to give you her number. Although, Cal might be thinking that Jacob is being a good, humble man and helping him but, he is oblivious to the fact that slowly he is getting carried away into materialism.

 When the transcendental thought of “nonconformity” brings to one’s mind,there is no better reference than the movie //Divergent// made in the year 2014. A teenager named Beatrice Prior is living her life in a pioneering world in which society is divided into five factions. As each individual enters adulthood, he or she must commit a faction for their entire life. However, there are some people are known as “Divergent's” who do not fit in just one faction and thus are not accepted by their society. Furthermore, while Beatrice had already committed herself to the Dauntless faction, she later finds out she is a Divergent and she is warned to conceal her status otherwise face the consequences of society. She later instigates a war between nonconformist Divergent's and conforming society which threatens the life of her loved ones.

The movie //Blackhat// from 2015 precisely illustrates the idea of how “technology is corrupting human society” at full length. After a nuclear power plant in Hong Kong, China and Mercantile Trade Exchange in Chicago, Detroit are hacked by anonymous perpetrators, a federal agent named Viola Davis proposes that the FBI work with China to find these culprits. The leader of the Chinese team, Chen Dawai, insists to let a convicted hacker Nick Hathaway be released from prison to help with the investigation because Chen knew that only Nick is capable enough to track down these felons. Furthermore, with the help of Nick, Chen and their team find out the whereabouts and sinister intentions of the hackers by using this type of technology. Technology was invented for good use in Human society, but as these kind of people exist there will always be terror of technology threatening the existence of the Human race.
