Scholar David S. Roh defines techno-Orientalism as “imagining Asia and Asians in hypo- or hyper-technological terms in literary, cinematic, and new media representations.” “To judge from many speculative fiction films and books, from Blade Runner to Cloud Atlas,” he explains, “the future will be full of cities that resemble Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, and it will be populated mainly by cold, unfeeling citizens who act like robots.”

Based on our discussions and readings this week, give another example of techno-Orientalism and explain why such a vision may be harmful to actual AAPI persons.

If possible, see if you can recognize various fields of psychology mentioned, such as emotions, cognitions, the unconscious, memory, attention, biology, community, etc, and bring that into your reflection.

Have you (or someone you know) ever had the experience of eating a particular food, then becoming ill, and then avoiding that food at all costs in the future?  In learning theory terminology, this is known as “taste aversion.” 

Using your specific experience as an example, discuss how classical conditioning principles can be used to explain the development of taste aversion, and contribute to your behavior following the conditioning experience.

In addition, explain two ways that taste aversion differs from typical classical conditioning paradigms.  Again, use the experience described above as your specific example.
