A quick reflection

Looking back on my posts at this point, I have noticed that it helps to talk or write about things to get a better idea or thought about certain subjects. My essential questions that I have produced have been; What kind of world do we live in? How can I live in this world? What can others benefit from me? I have addressed all of these questions in one post or another. I have learned a few things writing about experiences, videos and text we have seen in and around class. One thing I have known/learned/looked furthur into is one type of world we live in. We live in a sketchy world. I looked into this when I wrote one of my more recent peices, "Homeless". I can't surely trust anyone, not even a man that looks like he is in dire need for shelter and food. Again, it is sad that you can barely help the guy because of worrying about your own protection. The world we live in has formulated a certain shield around us all that protects us from people we don't know. I had also learned more about myself, in a way that betters my understanding about various things. Listening to "This I Believes" and also making my own has really effected me in a good way. The perspectives I got from other people is invaluable. I dug deeper into feelings, mostly into passion. I have learned about my environment much more from writing in a way in which I can converse with my peers in a very open way (blogger). Hopefully this knowledge will keep coming in future posts and conversation.
