‘Koyaanisqatsi’ means life out of balance and Reggio shows this throughout by juxtaposing images of nature and technology and how they never seem to mesh. One of them must be harmed or destroyed in some way. However, others view it oppositely. They see that Reggio is showing how technology, humans, and nature have all become one new balance. “…my point is that their roots lay in a reaction to excesses - social, cultural, economic, political, even technological - that marked their times. They were the result of what might be termed "life out of balance." In turn, their result, viewed through a longer lens, was a new balance, incorporating elements of the status quo ante and critical pieces from the movements themselves.” (Truitt, M. 2011). Reggio believes that technology has taken over our society and desensitised us to horrible events. We have become robot-like, showing no emotions. He speaks about it in an interview saying, “We’ve been crushed into a synthetic environment that is no longer human...” and “…I had become frustrated that the casual elements of deprivation, disenfranchisement, and violence…all came from the overall society and transformed into a spectacle removed from reality.” (Reggio, G.…

Prochaska and Di Clemente’s cycle of change defines the stages that people go through on their way to change, these are as follows; • Pre-contemplation (not interested in change) People in this stage do not see a problem therefore see no need for change. At this stage increasing awareness can be helpful. • Contemplative (thinking about change) People in this stage recognise a problem and are contemplating change. Talking with the person in question about the pros and cons of change including…

At the end of the center of the eastern section of the Mall in Washington D.C. stands the Washington Monument. The monument rises just over 555' tall and was finished in 1884. The shape of the Washington Monument is that of an Egyptian obelisk which stands as an anchor for the Capital of the Nation. What is unique about this structure is not only its enormous size (it is the tallest obelisk in the world) but its change of material color of the monument from the bottom third of the structure.…

I honestly feel like it’s not a necessary feature yet. Most people are still happy looking at 1080p. Also, the file size of a 4K video clip is huge, making your storage cards fill up fast. However, I will say 4K is great for cropping. If you are editing a video for a standard HD (1080) project, you can crop a 4K video to get rid of some of the shakiness. GoPro may be famous for its video, but don’t underestimate its picture-taking capabilities either. At first, it was weird not having a back…

Someone facing the chance of diabetes will want to change their eating habits. Six months ago, they had no knowledge of what could happen to their body. Now they are faced with a life threatening disease, this person will research which…

Totality and Infinity, in “Philosophy and the idea of infinity” and in Otherwise than Being, Levinas is problematizing time and its relation to being. Time, in one sense, is alluded when the word “before” or “anterior” is used many times, but also “present,” a time that seems to be out of phase or dislocated; how can it be anterior and present? Here are a couple of quotes (that I already worked) where time is treated by Levinas: The differing of the identical is also its manifestation. But time…

“A Drama of Our Time”, by Fernando Sorrentino uses settings and tone, in the story making the situation humorous. The author uses literary settings to demonstrate the locations the characters are in. By telling the reader where the settings is, they can imagine how the scenes looks like. For example, the author states “The breezes of spring came wafting down Matienzo Street in Las Canitas around 11:00 o’ clock on a Thursday…” (2-3), letting the reader paint a picture to understand the setting…

As I grow older it becomes more and more evident that life is bunch of paradoxes that we navigate through daily to survive. And it is more complex and perplexing to understand when you are a teenager. I have few of my own paradoxes and I will try to be as honest as I can be. Here is my list of the paradoxes I live with on daily basis, 1. I have intense desire to be myself but at the same time I find myself conform to others definition of ‘normal’. Even though I am proud of my uniqueness, it…

over a period of time is called memory. A jam-packed pocket, stuffed full of everything that cannot be forgotten in the every day life, all depend on a persons mind and the capacity to hold and maintain these thoughts. From the basic setting of an alarm for the following morning in order to prevent from missing that early class, to the more delicate daily activities such as driving a vehicle, or remembering to grab the knife by the handle and…
