Isolated in space on an ill-gotten ship based on alien technology. Living, working, and finding love are all still important for the citizens of Macross city. Robotech, the Macross Saga: This classic science fiction tale was chosen because of its direct relation to sociological values, socialization and anthropological developments. This television show was derived from a series of literature that was based on the events portrayed in the series. Robotech is an 85 episode television series that aired in 1985, with sequels and continuation series until 2007. There are books, manga and movies based on them. Robotech is a musical, romantic science fiction drama. This Japanese based anime series based on transgressional military occupation, and the underlined dialogues. It focuses on the human elements involving survival, friendships and romance. The story is set in the near future, and is based on our understanding of physical time and space. An alien spaceship with technological advancements far beyond human comprehension arrives on earth accidentally. After crashing into the city known as Macross, the citizens orchestrate a global effort inorder to understand to develop this advanced technology the ship is built upon, code naming it as “Robotech”. This effort amalgamates the earth's governing powers, and pushes humanity to another stage of socioeconomic development. Working together, humanity has now developed new methods of transportation, created medical breakthroughs. The shared knowledge has brought about a form of calm and understanding for all the people on earth. The technology known as Robotech has the ability to transcend physical reality, which is how humans obtain its technology to begin with. The vessel broke through time and space based on a malfunction, ending up on earth and in the possession of humans. The ability to travel through time and space is an essential element to this story. Humans have worked, and developed their own forms of robotechnology. But these borrowed ideas are not their own, and the creators of such want their property back in their hands. As the aliens known as the “Zentrai '' invade, war ensues on a massive scale. Billions are left dead, as the battle for the downed spacecraft continues. The ongoing war effort forces humanity to take drastic measures. They are forced to use the same alien technology that they are fighting for to defend themselves. Panicked, they try to leave the battleground using what is known as a temporal time fold technique. The same method that brought the robotech ship to earth to begin with! This works, but not only transports the ship, but the surrounding city itself into deep space. Now 4 light years away from earth, somewhere around Pluto, the humans now try to live, work and carry on in this new and trying environment. Lost in space inside a giant spaceship, the citizens of Macross city start life anew. Taking advantage of the size and scale of the vessel, shops are built, homes restored and the Macross city begins once again, but in space; aboard an massive alien vessel. As the citizens begin to become accustomed to their new surroundings, they are constantly attacked, harassed and bombarded by the true owners of the Robotechnology, the Zentrati. This focuses Macross city into an ongoing state of military occupation. Using the same fundamental aspects of Robotechnology, they create customized military measures to fight back, and maintain their new home. This is a global military effort that now has an entire city of mixed race, individuals from varying ethnical backgrounds working together. Scientists, soldiers and civilians themselves all live, work and fight together. The larger social issue portrayed in the story is that of intellectual property rights. Billions of lives are lost because the humans decide to keep the Robotechnology and fight, instead of giving it back. This is because of the length of time they were incontact with the Robotech ship, and the amount of knowledge they have obtained. The antagonists, the “Zentrai '' are similar to humans. The only difference is that they are 50 feet tall! Built for war, they have little to know fear of the humans who have taken the expensive technology. Some of the sociological elements run parallel to other of the Japanese historical values that have transcended through history. Living, and essentially existing on a misappropriated Island while fighting against their oppressors, is something woven into the theme and rhetoric of the ethnic idealism. Accent and highlight with music, the spirit of humanity is displayed. The story follows a young pilot and his love interest, a young aspiring pop star. Living in space is difficult. Even for those who are accustomed to technological advancements, and are willing to understand the dialogues that go with developing a new society. Remaining positive is extremely important, along with maintaining the morale of the citizens and soldiers who are maintaining the new habitation. Social and ethnic lines are broken, as the main focus for humanity living in macro cities is now based on survival! During the story there is a love triangle from the main protagonist, and the coherence love interest. This is based on human attributes, but is also combined with the socioeconomic standards of the transgressional attributes. As the main character develops his own love for the secondary antagonist men, there are many outstanding outside elements that alter their outlook, and ability to develop in a standard social norm. During the initial escape from earth, the humans use what is known as a temporal time space full technique. This places them and the ship along with surrounding items from the island itself close to the planet pluto. The random debris and elements transported to this point also cause cellular effects to transpire on board of the ship known as the ssv1. The ship, island and surrounding area were all displaced using a random technological effect. Rick, and the coinciding love interest character meme were thrown into a subsection of the ships ordinance and were unable to interact with the remainder of the city. Camping out together, this life or death situation hidden in the bowels of an intergalactic spaceship forced emotional changes in both of the main characters. Rick loves being made, but their relationship is based on emotional immaturity, and a sense of need. As they grow up, no real relationship is established, other than the fact that they are all living, working and fighting together. There are other characters who have more emotional development, and are more interested in having a form of relationship. So theological elementary like to mention from this story is one the earth was bombarded for the third time by the prevailing alien forces. After taking large amounts of damage, and again losing the lives of billions of humans, they continue to press on with their result against humanity. If they cannot obtain their technology, they are going to destroy the earth instead. Even though Rick has loved Minmay, their relationship never developed based on outside influences and emotional immaturity. When the earth was being demolished, Rick had to make the decision of whether to fight, or two hang onto his love interest.
