Happiness and Meaning Project
This project was an exploration of your happiness. It's also about finding meaning in life. We also took a very deep insights into the differences between meetings. The inspiration that drove my project was the idea that we will have to have a problem in order to find happiness in your life. I used a picture of a my jeep to show that I enjoy my jeep can be broken but I can still be happy.
This project will be some ideas about my happiness meaning of different. Happiness is a temporary feeling you get when you are feeling good. Meaning is the ideas that you aren't just being happy you're actually trying to do something with your life. I think the happiness and meaning of basically the same thing. Happiness and meaning both like the idea that you're doing something bigger with their it is something small where you are having fun, or something about other people, they are both important. This project is all about other people, not just yourself. Parody of Las Vegas, change to go have fun you should go hard no matter what I do not really care about whether or not I'm having a anytime as long as I'm having a meeting for powerful experience for myself. I'm having a meaningful time anytime, as long as I'm having a meeting for powerful experience for myself.
I intellectual quandaries don’t go anywhere from here. I am perfectly happy with who I am. I don’t need to change anymore. Change is fine, but as of right now I am happy, and the meaning that I do have is good enough for me. I do not look for either or.. I just try to do what is good for me, in the short run. Which is usually happiness, but sometimes it is meaning. I do what I want.

Rhetoric Project
This project was all about rhetoric. It was designed in order for us to be able to see the rhetoric in our day to day lives and also to become masters of persuasion. This meant months of both studying rhetoric, such as Martin Luther King's speech, and Obama's campaign speeches. However, watching someone ride a horse is not how you learn to ride, you have to get on the horse. We were charged with making a rhetoric speech of 3 to 5 minutes. My project was in the form of an open letter to all terrorists far and wide. It was originally going to be to Osama bin Laden, but that was not broad enough of a subject for me to be able to write on, so I changed it to all terrorists.
My project used the “Arts of Rhetoric” as much as possible. These consist of things like building advocacy, and distribution of power. My speech did this as much as possible. I used events from the world's past to invoke a sense of rage and fear, then used these emotions to their full extent in forcing the audience to desire to kill the terrorists. This was effective because it meant that I was building off of emotions that most of the adults remembered from events such as 9:11, and I was making them want to take action off of them. I also tried to build community by making the claim that 9:11 and the attacks on Paris were attacks on the world, and that we should treat them as such.
I loved this project and connected with it a lot. As a young man who wants to join the military and go fight some terrorists, and with the belief that organizations such as ISIS are not being fought nearly enough, this project was perfect for me. It was entertaining to look at what has and is being done, as well as what went wrong and what we are planning in the near future. I still the we need a AMUF, but I don’t think that the government will authorize it. Unless Trump becomes president, but that is another topic.
If I was did this project again, I think that I would try to use a TED talk format instead of a speech or open letter. Because I was so passionate about the topic, I got mad on stage and some people stated that it added to my rhetoric, others that it detracted. I honestly have not yet seen my speech, so I do not know, but I think that I would remain more calm and reserved if I was addressing terrorists directly.
I think it that this project really showed me that rhetoric is everywhere. Things like Trump insulting people's appearance is rhetoric, and I had only seen it as foolishness. However, my eyes were opened to it and I am interested how long I will be able to see it for. I think it will be a long time.

Voices From The Animas
This project was a lot of fun. It was a about interviewing the general public about the river spill up at the Gold King Mine. I also added to the project by developing my own solution to the problem. I also thought about the history behind the problem. Overall, it was a difficult but enjoyable project.
I learned a lot about the history behind the mine. However, this was not as much a project about learning academic skill as much as learning to listen and to help. I think that it was also good for researching skills and my ability to help others when they are sad. I will remember this project for being one about other people and not myself. The project interviews were not very hard. However, I am a very people person. One of my favorite parts of the project was my interview, both because I was able to talk to people and because I knew what I was asking about. I enjoyed asking Eno about the superfund and talking about it would work or not. The exhibition was interesting. I did not get to talk to many people. I did find it interesting how much the general public had been influenced by what they had heard. I have been shown both sides of the argument and have been looking at both sides equally. I think that the exhibition really drove it home for me that the blame means nothing, only the solution. I personally learned from this project quite a bit. I had not put two and two together that I like projects that need solutions. I now know to try to find a way to make a project into a solution oriented thing |
