Welcome

Whoopie Do! Today we did our 1st new blog for our CEP 121. class. Hopefully the professor does not give us too much homework because this is the only class that I've got.
This is the beginning of our new class and I can wait to meet people. This class is very diverse and its interesting because I’m not used to having a class like this.
This class is about a preparation for our career and future. Not just that but to help us develop a plan and idea. It is a preparation for us to learn and keep for life. I hope that this class will help me develop new skills and benefit me for my career because I feel this class will be good but will also be straight up.

Lingering/Class Work

When we worked in groups during the class, we got to talk about our lingering thoughts. We spoke of work and wanting to have a job after we each graduate. We knew that this was making us stress over employment and having benefits but then we started giving each other thoughts and advice and made each other felt a bit more at ease because though we have done research we still need to something to think about. After a few minutes we were started talking about what we were going to do for our finale on the last day of this CEP121 course. The professor had told us that he had in his previous class, students who did a TV segment like the love connection. We as a group were thinking, what could we do that could make every one laugh and enjoy to what we did? We were coming up with so many different ideas that they seemed far fetched and too difficult because we had too little time.

LIB200 Assignment #3

For my research paper I want to do something that I feel is an opener for many people. I am torn between two different ideas for this research paper. The first idea, being a close reading analysis. I enjoyed a glimpse of the World’s Fair and its technological portrayal of technology and suburbia. How people wanted to live the American dream of owning a house and a car. Also how people desperately needed work and the World’s Fair being like a business for those who needed employment after the war. I can also compare it to global warming and how it could have affect the world more than helping it. The second impression is the “Popular Science” which is research idea number four. For this idea it would be based on two different cultures that I would explore. It could be science and the humanities being a authoritative idea. The book that I would choose for the paper would be The Tipping Point: How little Things Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell. This book has many different

LIB200 Assignment 5

The vision of a ‘perfect’ superhighway future in the 1939 World’s Fair was hype than reality as the fair created real problem with its vision of suburbia and cars. I agree with World’s Fair being more of propaganda to the American people. The World’s fair was to get people to become stable after the war. The vision was for anyone to have the American dream of owning their own home in the Suburbs and having a car. No one wanted a life of crime, hate, and to be underprivileged and that was the city life. It was full of “noise and fumes and shouts and shrillness and ambulances, drunks, fire trucks stuck in traffic, angry cops” (Gelernter 25). The streets were dangerous and no parent would want their child to grow up in a ugly, dirty and unhealthy environment. Living in the suburbs in the future would be “a place where people live in suburbs towns – where children romp in green fields, ride bikes and play softball… far away from the grind of city traffic, the filth of city gutters, the dan
