PCU

For the pass week our theme has been college life, which we have observed, read, and discussed. In the last activity dealing with our theme we watched the movie PCU about the life of a group of college students. After watching the movie, I tried to compare it to my actually college experience so far and found that I had nothing in common with the college students in the movie. The movie displayed many fallacies throughout the entire film. The scene in the movie that created a huge genetic fallacy to me was in the beginning when the new guy arrived and he was talking to the leader of the Pit who said there were three things he needed to survive which were beers, not talk to any women, become friends with a guy who had a car, and have no classes before eleven. Another genetic fallacy I caught was also in the beginning when the new guy arrived at the Pit and everyone was doing their own thing (smoking, skateboarding, watching TV) basically nothing related to school. By having these scenes in the movie I feel like the argument for this movie is that college is a waste of time, students don’t learn, drinking and parties are there many focus, and protesting. I disagree with this reputation of college students in the movie, especially when every college student doesn’t participate in activities like these.
