Idea of Progress

After conducting a self-interview and analysis some of the main concepts addressed in the interview, a few main themes were made apparent. The ideas that stood out to me the first time are the same main points as before but now I know why. One of the points that stood out to me the first time around was how little I know about Black culture and how it was represented a White-dominated culture. Through Tatum 's analysis of racism and its role in United States culture, I have learned that the…

Orson Scott Card’s definition of an outsider conveys an idea that outsiders can see things more clearly and are important to everyone around them. He compliments their stronger sense of self compared to the rest of people in society. Card mentions how an outsider has a unique perspective than everyone else and that great heroic deeds are made by outsiders because of this unique perspective. While there is a notion that outsiders are not important, it is clear that outsiders are necessary in…

I told myself that it was just me preparing to be swarmed by friends when I reached the top. As I went through the safety checks with my guide, I decided that it would be a good idea to look up. As I started to process just how high up forty feet was, I started to regret my decision of ever coming here. Why couldn’t I just vanish right now? It would save me so much embarrassment if I could just disappear right now and never come…

first year I really fell in love with idea. Advertising was right up my alley. My passion grew more and more as the year went on. There were a few times I didn’t believe I could do it, but after taking different classes and seeing all the different options out there I knew I was meant to be where I…

Identifying one’s purpose in their odyssey is not always direct. Sometimes it requires extreme events, even tragic events, for someone to recognize what their purpose is. In addition, at times it may be necessary to trust the people closest to you, including your loved ones, to determine what your purpose is. These two circumstances were discussed in the short story I wrote, a spin off from Fahrenheit 451 which follows the story of Clarisse McClellan who was presumed dead in the novel. Clarisse…

tin foil boat. Who would have thought? Our group project allowed us to apply ourselves in a new way to teach the youth of Waverly. The skills and ideas taught in the IS Reader were applied in both developing our project and in the teaching process with the kids. The project was a significant part of the class because it allowed us to connect ideas discussed in class and apply them into a social setting. Important, standout elements of this project include, but are not limited to: the…

gives a negative set of ideals or purpose that often has a negative influence over the modern population (RaeSremmurdVEVO, 2014). Using the same melodies, tones, and word pronunciations the song becomes recycled, thus giving the modern population an idea of what is common and what isn’t. Consistency is a “must” in modern day music using the same set of distinguishable rhythms, rhymes, and melodies. Our culture is forcing a model of what is popular which often changes what we contemplate to be…

What is concept/idea? An idea is a conceptual thought speaking about the major qualities of what it wants to deliver. Ideas emerge as deliberations or speculation as a matter of fact or the after-effect of a change of existing thoughts. In simple words Concept is a story, told with two major components: Content (what it’s told) and Plan (how it’s told). A concept outline anticipates the association between thoughts. Concepts are usually illustrated in the form of - circles or boxes joined by…

another philosopher’s idea on the matter. Examining two philosophers, or more, side-by-side can provide insight into why beauty is a hard concept to grasp, but it does not examine why the philosophers either agree or disagree with one another. Kant’s Critique of Judgement attempts to specify what makes something beautiful and in doing so exposes himself to other philosophers in a way that questions his ideals. This attempt to define beauty by narrowing it down with different ideas regarding his…

I don’t know where to begin. After watching Adaptation and reading Kaufman 's speech, I’m overwhelmed by ideas and thoughts. These ideas and thoughts are not only on creativity and screenwriting, which is what I expected them to be, but also about myself as an individual in the world. I don’t consider myself a writer, to be honest, I really don’t like to write, never have. The strange thing is, I’ve always considered myself a storyteller. Over the last few years at Humber, my creative drive has…
