lyrical learning
During a class discussion this is how it went
The original discussion question was
Now that you are a responsible
adult/citizen ...sorry if I am the one to give you the bad news ~( ;.( ) What assumptions
about news, research, facts or figures have you in your mind ~ debunked?
My answer:
I used to believe everything that was projected in the
news, I even believed that if someone was arrested that they probably did the
crime.� After all, don�t they need a ton
of evidence prior to arresting someone?�
Of course that was prior to becoming a responsible adult/citizen.� Now that I am no longer a teenager I now
know that facts and figures are only as good as the person stating them and the
research that they did.� I also know
that the judicial system is highly suspect and not always accurate.� I also realize that politics play a lot in
whether something is indeed true or not.�
I liked being a teenager with less to think about.� This responsible adulthood�.well sometimes
it�s not all that its cracked up to be.
Teacher:� Kristy:
They say if you live long enough and experience alot of
things - nothing surprises you any more.
Somewhere, though, our childlike natures reside buried under
tons of reality.
One of my classmates came along and said a most wonderful thing because dang if he didn�t go ahead and do some lyrical quoting�.I love that�..love it.
He said:
the world is beautiful and its also what we make of
it. i believe
example and be a very powerful tool in life. live your life the way you
want others to live it! in other words if your a thief, dont complain
because their is too much stealing and so on.... there is a song by
Depeche Mode (im aging myself) called "New Dress".
some of the words go...
You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world
interesting huh? :)
I interact with virtual strangers in
an effort to learn and grow as a person. Sometimes it�s not all that
entertaining or fun. Sometimes an online class is boring and people drone on
with no personality.� And then sometimes�.you
get a good crew that just takes off.
I�m going to love this course.
