A Different World

After going through my notes, I found the seven concepts that stood out to me the most. The following are, Race is a social construct, “Life is always fixable”, the three steps to making a video go viral, Be Brief, Be Bright, Be Gone, RPIE, “Make the world a better place”, and The Five Levels of Leadership. The following concepts are already concepts I use in my everyday life and others and the others I plan on taking with me into my future. To begin, the concept of race. Race is a social…

and sapphire hues painted the sky above, the colors reflected by the dual moons parallel from one another, both casting their own dim glow. A gentle breeze caressed the soft, bright emerald grass, sharing the scent of the dew-covered blades with the world. Running water trickled against the rocks in a nearby stream, bringing balance to the peaceful night. Crystallized lithium roses sprouted about the earth, their stems twisting around each other in an unmoving dance. A light crescendo of gentle…

spends hours creating intricate structures in nature only to have them destroyed by natural causes. He is helping show us that we can change the world, but what we change can always be changed by something else in the world. For example we can build dams as humans but the water can weather them down and destroy them. Showing that all things in the world are on an equal level even though we like to think we are superior. Connerton brings up the idea of forgetting old knowledge to form a new…

One of the most wanted careers in the world today is acting. Not many have the skill and drive to achieve successful career in that department. Many desire the job for the fame and money, but some love it for the pure joy of performing. There are many appealing aspects of the job such as flexible work hours, recognition by the public, and the salary if you become big. One has to be able to take the dedicated time it takes to perfect the craft. Even though natural talent is something that is…

same question kept popping up in my head over and over again,”why does this matter?, Why should I care what is happening on screen?”. As I continued to play, an idea struck me, what if I was seeing the characters, events, and lives of an alternate world? What if every death in a game was a real death somewhere. What if my choices mattered? As it turns out, many scientists have wondered the same events, except on the grander scale of life itself. Their findings and research are all culminated…

In ancient Chinese poetry, the entire universe was stated as a huge egg in nothingness. This egg contained Yin and Yang mixed together in chaos. Pangu, a strong being, slept in this egg for eighteen thousand years. Pangu has been described as a giant hairy and primitive man for thousands of years. He has two horns on top of his head, and often wore fur. When Pangu had awoken, he had realized that he was left in complete darkness, unable to move and see. He proceeded to stretch his arms and broke…

they never cease to fascinate me. I find people who have a thorough understanding in two or more subjects highly interesting. They are able to see things with more than one approach, like using two different lenses to see the world, red and blue for example. Through those lenses you can see the world “protruding”. Most people will find it odd how one can be an expert in conflicting topics. Philosophy is infamously known to be often frowned-upon by scientists. Feynman is the living proof that…

continental plates drifting and erosion. When humans started appearing on the earth 200,000 years ago, balance of every living being became fragile with every action benefiting of harming the world.…

Culture throughout the world is constantly changing with advancements in technology to improve the way people communicate. It all began with the establishment of printing press moving to the telegram then the radio. In the middle of the 20th century, the television was most advanced technology, and now in modern times it is the internet that has taken main stage. The internet allows people to gain information, broadcast material, and communicate. Author Nicholas Carr believes that the internet…

of a time when you have felt isolated, disconnected, or even disengaged from the world or perhaps each other. I would like you to imagine what it would feel like to inhabit a world where this is a reality, where there is very little human interaction and constant darkness? How would you feel? After all, connections with others gives our lives purpose and meaning, right? Well, these are the confronting dystopian worlds represented in Ridley Scott’s compelling and evocative film, Blade Runner,…
