In this new seminar we talked about Gort and Klaatu and the Movie, the Day the Earth Stood Still. I think that the seminar went really well. We talked about the power elites. Klaatu and Gort were both power elites that had control over the people's fears and emotions. The soldiers were also like Power Elites because they coudl influence the people to remain calm because they think the soldiers will be able to protect them. Someone also mentioned how their fear led to irrational thinking. And as the the movie progressed the radio started to say the alien was an enemy and not a friend anymore. Monica brought up that the soldiers were a little bit like Leviathan because the civilians wanted the soldiers to protect them and they listened to the soldiers.
