“Project Classroom Makeover”, “the imagination is engaged in making connections in all of those forms , as it is in anything we experienced” (Davidson 55). Imagination plays a key role in the human’s ability to associate with other people’s constructed spaces, whether it is through watching, listening or even reading it; it allows people to connect with seemingly unrelatable content. They can only do so, however, by latching onto relevant components as a base where their own imaginations can…

angry because she believes that space is actually what matters for geography; however, philosophers and social scientists made the space into a residual dimension. The over-focusing of time instead of space is the factor that Massey is angry about; she believes that space has dynamic and three-dimensional. Space changes the way of human beings’ lives. People cannot just simply consider space and flat and describe it without its context. 2. Massey says that space is “the dimension of things…

just empty space. This tells us infinity exists. We can understand infinity exists without understanding infinity. Outer space is the easiest place to see infinity, but it is actually the nature of everything in one way or another. The amazing thing is, it has to be true. It is a certain truth, and it is impossible to comprehend. That is mind blowing, but it's one of those things that brings magic to knowing the truth and life. It is a perfect example of knowing the unknowable. Inner space:…

Literature defines life space as people’s movement throughout their living environment.1 One article done by Lo and Colleagues (2014) investigated the relationship between life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment, LSA) and incidence of fall and fracture within 4 years follow-up period among community-dwelling older adults in Alabama, U.S.2 Life-space change was defined as the difference in LSA score before and after a fall occurs. The research findings indicate that decrease in life-space…

The idea of a “safe place” first took off along with the feminist movement of the 1960s, providing a place for like minded individuals to gather; however, the 21st century saw a resurfacing of the same idea, applied this time as an ideological safe haven sheltering university students from exposure to sensitive topics. Articles published regarding this new notion of a “safe place” cites violations against the fundamental principle of universities in preparing its students to enter the adult…

Bridges once said, “Get back motherf*cker! You don’t know me like that!” and like Mr. Bridges, we all have our own sense of appropriate space when interacting with the people we encounter in our daily lives. Edward T. Hall, an American anthropologist, studied the phenomena of ‘personal space’ and devised a term for our interactions and reactions within this space, called ‘Proxemics’. Proxemics is defined by The Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “the study of the nature, degree, and effect of the…

be comfortable while each particular space is occupied. Intimate space extends 18 inches in every direction, personal space extends from 1 ½ to 4 feet away and social space extends from 4 to 12 feet. Beyond 12 feet is public space, which is open to all. The smallest zone extends 18 inches from the body in every direction and is referred to as the intimate space. This space is reserved for family, close friends and pets. Anyone else entering this intimate space causes discomfort. As a…

moon first. He also wants the U.S. to go to the moon to find out more things about space and the rest of the universe. He said going to the moon will lead to more advances than there were before going to the moon. He hopes for more knowledge, and peace by this decision. He knows it's very dangerous to go to the moon but he thinks it's worth it. Before we analyze the “We choose to go to the moon” speech by John F. Kennedy written in the fall of 1961, let's talk about the history of speech. First…

On September 12, 1962, John F. Kennedy gave a speech to the people at Rice University. The speech is titled “We Choose the Moon.” It all began when the cold war between the US and Soviet Union picked up. Space exploration quickly became a competition for both these nations. However, the real competition of the space race didn’t start until Russia launched Sputnik, the first satellite in orbit. The United States saw this as a threat to the expansive frontier of space. Their new goal was to get…

January 28th, 1986, is one of those days in the history of the United States that will never be forgotten. That is the day that the space shuttle Challenger explode 73 seconds after it lifted off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, killing the seven people on board, including a civilian school teacher. After an intensive investigation into the cause of the disaster, it was determined to have been the result of a faulty O-ring that allowed fuel to escape during the “burn” which resulted in the…
