Stress Managment

Be still. Be quiet. Listen. Observe.

Many of the relaxation techniques you will be learning about in the text incorporate some components of awareness. This activity is designed to start you off in this module by asking you to get a baseline on your awareness of self and the world around you.

This is a multi-day and multi-part discussion board activity. Be sure you give yourself enough time to complete each part well. Be sure to read the instructions closely.

For your initial post -due by Tuesday, Nov. 10th:

Before you make your first post, I’d like you to take 20 minutes on Sunday, Nov. 8th,  and then 20 minutes on Monday to sit, be quiet, be still, and completely unplugged. Go outside if the weather is nice or sit somewhere cozy if it isn’t. Sit alone, for 20 minutes, completely unplug, and be quiet, and watch the world around you. After each 20 minute period, briefly write down your experiences. Address each of these questions to guide your writing:

What happens when you are just quiet and still?
What did you feel and/or think?
What did you see, smell, hear, feel, experience through your senses?
What did you learn by sitting for 20 minutes on two different days?
Your initial post will cover your experiences from each of the 2-days.

Star Wars movie right and wrong

/in /by

How do people determine what is right and wrong, and who determines right and wrong for the masses?

Answering the question above while analyzing the history and values between the Old Republic/Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire/First Order in the Star Wars films

Below are the instructions given from my professor.  The artifact referred to below will be the Star Wars Republics

Prompt
For this project, you will critically  analyze an artifact (see choosing your artifact below for more on what I mean by artifact). The artifact you choose should help you better understand a question or problem you want to examine. In your essay, you should give a detailed description of the artifact and help your readers see why this artifact requires analysis, or why they should care. Present to readers your understanding of the artifact, using evidence and examples so that readers understand your claims. Be sure to acknowledge and consider alternative perspectives would everyone have the same relationship to this artifact that you do? Consider carefully the intended readers and help them see why the artifact is relevant or affects their lives. 

Analyzing your artifact: This is the first assignment in this class that requires analysis, so lets state what that means. When you analyze something, you break down the various details of an artifact and show how you understand those details. The details you analyze can include text, but also might be visual, audio, tactile or other kinds of details.  As you connect details to meaning in this way, look for patterns. Do the meanings of various details consistently point to one main idea, or are there multiple ideas that clash in your artifact? And how do the patterns of meaning you find give you insight into the question you started with?
