I found the film “And We Stayed…” disturbing. As an online student‚ I really bought into the persona of Gonzaga and the sense of community they promote. I realize this film is older‚ however‚ listening to the students describe their experiences made me sick. Honestly‚ I felt deceived and extremely disappointed with an organization that I’ve associated myself with for life as an alumnus. This intense emotional response was not what I expected my reaction to be going into this assignment. Yet‚ I can’t

The Rain Came Grace Ogot The chief was still far from the gate when his daughter Oganda saw him. She ran to meet him. Breathlessly she asked her father‚ “What is the news‚ great chief?

they find out that purpose they should feel like there life has a priceless value. In Steve Jobs commencement speech‚ he does an excellent job of explaining how to find your purpose‚ “Stay Hungry‚ Stay Foolish.” I agree with Steve Jobs‚ if you don’t stay hungry then you stop striving for greatness‚ and if you don’t stay foolish you lose your creativity. These are all needed for finding one’s true self purpose. Once you find self purpose you should feel invaluable. There was a study done at the University

Professor Gessler March 28‚ 2014 Arth 300 Roles of the Artist: Maya Lin There are one out of four roles that every artist could play and the one that I believe Maya Lin plays is “Artists make a visual record of the people‚ places‚ and events of their time and place”. I believe that this is how i have see her portrayed in this film because all of the landmarks and monuments that she had made were all so great due to the personal factor of having the historicals names and times written on them

Who Killed the Maya This video series was very interesting to watch because I really had no real knowledge of this culture or what they were about. It is so hard to believe that one person who wanted so much power would have been the catalyst so many years later to have a people destroy themselves. One of the key points I felt this video shared would be that of hidden history. This group of people has so much history‚ a 2000 year old history chock full of so many details. Researchers have

Perceptions of the Lost “When you are mad‚ mad like this‚ you don’t know it. Reality is what you see. When what you see shifts‚ departing from anyone else’s reality‚ it’s still reality to you” (Hornbacker‚ 2008‚ P. 6). Perception plays a huge role in our lives: whether we realize it or not.
