Purpose Economy vs. Creative Economy Aaron Hurst describes the fourth economic stage as the purpose economy (following the knowledge economy). As humans, we have a fear of not mattering. Because of this, Hurst predicts our next economic era will be centered around our individual quest for purpose. Each of the previous economies have made mankind ‘faster, stronger, smarter,’ but now mankind is turning back to a more ‘human’ way of doing things. Purpose is a choice, according to Hurst, which…

extensive amount about different ways of being creative. I have never really been a creative individual, but this course has really helped me branch out from my comfort zone and learn different ways to be creative. I have learned about my creative process by engaging in the activities and reflections related to the personal creativity log, as well as other course material by concentrating on what I would create for each activity. Learning about my personal creative process was interesting and…

Policy makers all over the world have sought an “age of creativity” for its economic purpose. They believe that the emergence and functioning of such an age depends on the health of creative industries. However, there is a boosterish view on the term ‘creativity’, meaning that the creative industries are great but it is also flawed due to the significant and unique difficulties it harbours. This essay will discuss some of the reasons on why I strongly agree with this proposition but will also…

academic decorum are be organized, respect your home lives, and answer emails as soon as possible. Narrative Self Analysis My class behavior is in the walls of academic decorum. I try to ask questions when needed and I listen when the teacher or speaker is talking. Being quiet during work time is probably my best quality in class. I am not a distraction to others in class and I follow all the…

Tuesday: Multimedia Production 2313 Being completely honest, on the first day of class I had no clue what to expect of this course. Just from the title and description of the course I was certain it would require technical and creative skills. Two things I do not have and after I read Dr. Matthews' email I knew this class would be intense, however, that did not intimidate me. Last semester was my most difficult semester. Last semester prepared me for this semester. From a freshman to a junior I…

friend, but another part of it was that my teacher would write or draw a riddle on the board that we would have to solve as part of our “warm up” for the day. I was really good at them. And in that class, we were always doing different projects. I got to learn about my favorite subject as well as be creative about it. We had one project that we were instructed to create a model of an animal or plant cell. All we had to do was make sure that we had all of the correct labels of the parts of the…

When creative writing comes to mind, people generally do not think of it relating directly with academic writing. However, creative writing can benefit authors by introducing various techniques to insert identity into academic papers. Typically, lecturers teach students that identity should never be present in academic writing, but in reality, “identity is always present in writing… the idea that any writing can be disconnected from identity is absurd” (Williams, 712). Without it, the paper…

because there are many opportunities to be creative in these classes. The first way is with creative writings. Along the lines of art classes, some teachers give an assignment but just give a very brief explanation of what they want and making the assignment really open for students to be creative. They are giving a topic to write about but not told how to write it. They just get to choose the type of paper they want to write and create it. Also, there are creative writings where students can…

Before ENG 202, which was my first college-level English class, my general conception of “English” as an academic discipline was different. For instance, prior to this my general conception of “English” essentially revolved around reading and writing comprehension skills. In fact, in high school I spent a lot of time analyzing different forms of text like novels, poems, and photos, and then writing about them. When analyzing these texts the teacher had us focus more on theme, tone, and…
