The Lego Brickumentary

514 Words3 Pages

During the Lego Brickumentary, different types of people such as: collectors, hobbyists, geeks, artists, architects, engineers, scientists, and doctors have found different uses to the actual Lego brick; whether it’s just for fun or to help shy and autistic kids with communicating. Lego has had an amazing worldwide cultural impact due to the many activities and events it has during the year.

The Lego Company was created in 1930 in Denmark by a Danish carpenter named Ole Kirk Christiansen. At first, he made simple wooden toys and then changed after purchasing his first plastic molding machine at a Toy Fair in 1947. His son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, was the one who came up with the system of the brick used today. During this timeframe, Ole’s factory burnt down three times, but he never gave up on his Company.

In 1999, the Lego Company experienced a big loss in sales. This loss was due to the creation of Lego sets no one liked or wanted to play with; not even little kids and loyal Lego fans. Around 2012, Lego solved this loss of interest by inventing Lego Ideas, first named Lego Cuusoo. Lego Ideas is a website where fans can create a product they would like to purchase themselves.

AFOL even have clubs, meetings, conventions, blogs and many activities where they just build and play with Legos.

    Growing up, I was told that students are taught history to prevent repeats of mistakes made in the past. Museums are buildings in which artifacts of interest are put on display for the public to learn about the history of the artifact and the role it played in the past. As years go by, museums are being replaced with the easiness and convenience of technology. With more children being immersed into electronics, the connection to the past is lost. The removal of the Confederate flag from the capitol of South Carolina removes a piece of history from the public eye and further disconnects newer generations from an important event in America’s past.

  • Michael Haneke's Funny Games: The Philosophy Of Films

    537 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before I give my answer to the question of whether films can do philosophy, I should first define what doing philosophy entails. From what I see, philosophy is having a debate of sorts on a topic with either another person or with yourself. With that definition, I defiantly see how a multitude of films can do philosophy. I suppose there is one caveat I should mention: the film itself should be the one doing the philosophy, not the expositional dialogue or narration. The film could do philosophy through the plot’s progression and ending, or perhaps through a certain scene that causes us to question norms and such.
