Idea of Progress

When he got the job offer from my company, he was 27 years old in Korean age, and it was relatively early compared to other university students. I thought he was a very quiet and shy man, but, consequently it was a wrong idea. He really loved to travel, shopping, meet women, and drink alcohol. Sometimes, he overslept, and was late for work because he had drunken a lot of alcohol the night before. In my case, because I lived with my parents, my mom always woke up me to…

ability to write a long paper. Looking back at my posts, I am able to see how well they helped me develop tools. On many of the posts I could have used the tag, focus, because all of them helped me to focus down my ideas and use the surrounding information I had to further develop my idea. However, I only included that tag on posts that I thought really provided me with critical tools. One of the post I tagged with this certain tag was the one about the organ sales essay. In this post I was…

stuck in my mind was because of how you were able to relate your presentation back to those words and why they were important. Despite our answers they were able to relate to your story in one way or another. One of the words was related back to the idea of being conditioned for fear. This was a concept that I have never heard of and thought it was interesting once I learned what it was and how it can affect you. It makes it so as if certain things weren’t even happening in your…

were looking for similes, alliteration, rhyming, etc. In other words, we learned that rhetoric involved figurative language. Early in high school, students adopted the idea that rhetoric was figurative language.

the idea may seem. But, in her own way, I believe she is trying to change as many people as she can through her writing. Her idea could be to write something that changes people’s perspectives, that makes them think and makes them feel like they can change the world too. This can set off a chain reaction, causing multiple people in many different places to do some good for the world, even if it’s not on the scale that Trevor’s idea in Pay It Forward seemed to reach. Logically speaking, an idea…

experiment and learn in ways they enjoy we will see amazing results. When I was in middle school my class was very small and we often got to choose what and how we wanted to learn. It was a classroom based very much off of democracy which is a main idea of Progressivism. Many times my peers and I chose competitions, experiments, and group projects over worksheets. I still remember the concepts I learned from the…

and word choice, the reader gets a better sense of the poems emerging ideas. Throughout “Ozymandias” the writer points out the transient nature of human rule and how a great ruler is forgotten once gone. Juxtaposing this idea is “Sonnet 43” where the poem discusses the love of a woman towards…

“Truth only reveals itself when one gives up all preconceived ideas.” -Shoseki. When we grow up being reinforced the same ideas we often become blinded of the truth. The conceptions we develop throughout our lifespan can be about certain people, beliefs, customs, or even government policies. Everyone develops preconceived notions, it is something inevitable. But what separates people is their ability to resist to act on these thoughts regardless of how strong they may be. Certain ideologies have…

Creativity and Idea Generation Idea 1. A cast of characters! Understanding and leveraging roles associated with creativity and idea generation can be a novel but useful way to think differently about a problem to be solved.

Reflecting upon the course, I have learned quite an 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…
