| Abstract |
Americans are afraid of the wrong things. Our administration employs the politics of fear to take advantage of the legitimate concerns of citizens. We are told to be afraid for our security when the Technicolor alert is elevated from tangerine orange to salmon pink. However, our real security problem lies in the inability of our national emergency response system to help Americans in catastrophic events. The fear of terrorism is reframed to target illegal immigrants from Latin America, while the government sends more secret agents to track Fidel Castro than Osama Bin Ladin. Our fears are exploited to justify unchecked powers and invasion of nations. Issue seven of Jaded discusses the scary tactics of military recruitment in our schools, the profit motives of petition collectors, the antagonism of civilian border patrollers, the fear of the “other” in suburbia, the lack of accountability in police brutality cases, and our future with the oil dilemma. Now, that’s some real scary shit. |
| Description |
Jaded magazine is a form of alternative media to encourage political, cultural, and personal discourse among UCI students. We celebrate and support the Asian Pacific Islander community through the retelling of the past, engaging of the present, and sharing a vision for the future. We hope to build connections and bridge gaps between people of different ethnicities and ways of thinking. The goal of the publication is not only to provide a space where Asian Pacific Islander students can voice different opinions and artistic expressions, but also as a form of community activism through education and awareness. Despite the fact that we are misrepresented, our images misconstrued, and our cultures misunderstood we are not JADED in spirit. This is what we are doing about it. |
