Religion–Most Important Element

All this talk about what the most important element of religion is making me think.  Since I didn’t do my presentation over the most important element, I think this is a very interesting argument.  I think I am convinced that myth is the most important element of religion today.  The stuff people believe today would […]

Honors-Gender Issues

The videos we watched were about Chaz Bono, formerly known as Chastity Bono.  Chaz is the son of Sonny and Cher.  He was born a girl, but has undergone sex changes in order to become a man.  When he was a woman, he was a lesbian, and he never felt right being a woman.  He […]

Intro. to Religion-What is Religion?

The more and more we study about different religions, pilgrimages, and definitions of religions, the more unclear the definition of religion is to me.  It seems to me that there can be many different definitions.  We haven’t even studied all the world religions and almost every definition we have seen conflicts with some form of […]

Intro. to Religion-Pilgrimage

Just a few thoughts that have been rolling around in my head…  We say that each one of the religions we have studied has some form of a pilgrimage.  We see that each religion has value in these pilgrimages and that each one is different.  Some are very different than others.  So are the ones […]

Paper Prompt (Rhetorical Situation)

This article gave insight to sexism and how it was used in the last elections.  Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin faced a huge task if they wanted to get to the white house because of all the sexism against them.  The media is relentless whenever they see the chance to put someone down in the […]

Religion-Belief in Karma

In class we have been talking a lot about Hinduism and eastern religions and the belief in karma.  It is hard for me to see how this makes sense to them because I have grown up a totally different way.  The thing that confuses me the most is when they decide they want to end […]

Why I chose Liberal Arts

All of my college options were liberal arts schools.  Liberal arts played a huge role in my college decision.  I did not want to go to a large non-liberal arts school.  I did not know what I wanted to major in, but I had a few options floating around in my head.  I researched liberal […]

Beauty Captured in Artwork

This week we studied artists and looked at a specific quote they made about art in their lifetime.  We also looked up each artist’s works. Da Vinci Da Vinci created most of his work to be realistic.  He studied human anatomy deeply in his lifetime which aided his ability to be able to realistically construct […]

Honors-Grotesque

This article discussed what we can describe as grotesque art and what does not quite fit the categories.  Grotesque artwork must pull on different emotions, and the subject matter and form must go along with the emotions.  Grotesque art also pulls out deep inner drives that push human beings.  A lot of times this art […]
