The author of Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk, once stated, “The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up” (Chuck, n.d.). His statement highlights a condition I call a myopic perspective. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition in which a person can clearly see objects close-up while objects in the distance look blurry (“Myopia,” n.d.). A myopic perspective is a similar impairment limiting people’s psychological viewpoint or internal vision versus their physical…
Characteristics of Vision in Children with CVI The visual system is a powerful and complex tool for understanding and perceiving the world. It has many aspects and dimensions that change throughout an individual’s lifetime. Therefore, it is unsurprising that there are many stages of vision at which perception can become impaired. Cortical (or cerebral) visual impairment (CVI) refers to any impairment or loss of vision brought about by damage to the brain or the central nervous system, rather…
(6) You can change your dominant eye by putting a blindfold over your dominant eye and use your least dominant eye so it will strengthen. So, if you see someone wearing an eye patch there might be nothing wrong with he/she they might just be trying to change their dominant eye.(11) Crossed hand eye dominance will strengthen over time due to use.(10) If you are right eye dominant and a right handed shooter your left eye might strengthen because it will be the one looking at the rim.(10) Many…
sudden epiphany I had was not only am I a woman, but how else did I and in what order did I identify myself in? Now the intersectionality is evident to me, the bits and pieces that make up who I am shape the way in how I plan to make a difference. At the last day of instruction you asked about our impression of the class and how we were going to implement what we learned in reaching our future endeavors. I said empowering, the new found knowledge is going to change how I try to not only…
Susan Wolf‘s theory on how one live their lives is one subject that will be talked about in the days to come. She explains that the meaning to finding one’s happiness is through giving back to others in need and finding your passion. Although her statements may be true, she fails to mention anything about personal satisfaction. What is it about our personal satisfaction that would help us find meaning into our lives? Can our own personal success in life be sufficient enough to live a…
theory that the details we don 't know about are ones that they chose not to tell us about. Or perhaps they did tell us, in art, or books or even quotes. As a writer and a poet I know that not all quotes can be interpreted the same way. This works the same in Art. Everyone in the past had something to say and they only chose to tell us some of their life with us. We as humans tend to accuse or even judge before we know the whole story. I can not challenge nor judge the past whether it had been…
was a commander in chief during the revolutionary war, who didn't just watch the battle from the sides, but actively fought for his country and respected it with the utmost intentions. Or, is it just that a leader doesn't have to be extraordinary? Maybe they could simply be average in all aspects and walks of life, but they could outshine those around them by working in their community and striving for a better tomorrow to help the generations to come after them. That is what a Beta club leader…

One of the things that I enjoyed most was our readings. Incarnations of Burned Children by David Foster Wallace, Lobster Night by Russell Banks, and Binocular Vision by Edith Pearlman are three short stories that impacted me the most from these stories. From Incarnations of Burned Children and Binocular Vision I learned that a story does not have to be long at all for it to be meaningful. The use of one single event can create a lot of meaning in a story. The use of sentence length can also…
