In Groups

The other day when we worked in groups it was with different people but similar goals. We spoke about our life skills, cover letters, and about our resumes. We got to know each other a little bit more. We mentioned that we wanted to work with people with different backgrounds and different accomplishments in life. It was nice talking to them because it was very laid back and we are hoping for good job opportunities in the future. Each one explained our major and why we wanted to do what we were studying for. We spoke about our love for music, sports, cars, pervious jobs, and helping others.

We got to discussing our pervious occupations and what had happened? We spoke of experiences and how we could pass this course with having a busy life after school. Of course we all want to succeed in life because that is the point why we are going the extra effort in school. We were laughing and talking about how we were all connected with our group members. We did not know at first why we were working together until we started our conversation. What was it that made the professor think that we could function as a group? I guess it was each of our different and unique personalities. Some were more quite and others very talkative but we all wanted difference.

It was good that we got to know others a little bit more because it makes you realize that they are different and that they want to have something of their own. When we showed our resumes it made me realize that people in my group jobs and I had volunteer work. It made me realize that some people had it harder than others and that they had been through a lot. It made me also recognize that I have to step up my game more. I believe working in groups makes you feel a bit more relaxed and makes you understand each other more than just being classmates.

    I do agree with what you said. Meeting people from different backgrounds give you chance to learn more about others’ thinking. Even though you think that there is nothing in common between you and others, it is amazing to know how much diversity can give. It gives people chances to learn and discover new ways of thinking and not to be locked in your culture standards. Chatting with others can bring up a lot of thing that sometimes you cannot by yourself.

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
