Thursday Thoughts

Feb. 7, 2013
 This week I found things at PAA to take pictures of. I hadn't noticed them around before. Also, I learned how easy it is to upload a couple photos onto Lightroom to edit. It was a really good week of photography overall. I especially loved going out to shoot for 1 class period.

Technological Literary Advancement?

Many elder generations whom did not grow up in the world of technology find it to have tarnished the so called good name of life's offerings. We could sit around and argue all day about if new technology is healthy or not for our society, but honestly, there is no point. Life moves in a forward direction, never back. Every aspect of everything we know is changing, including our world of writing. Nowadays, information is at everyone's fingertips. It is able to be retrieved in seconds. It is no wonder how that changes the way we write. If anything, it has made it more competitive.

I thought it was cool how bold he was in this project.

Genders And Writing

It seems like a logical, but ancient idea that our genders influence the way we write. Someone might say that women write more emotional and men write more logically and factually. While in some cases this may be true, it cannot be said for men and women writers as a whole. The truth of the matter is that it is our culture that influences the way we write. If we grow up in a culture where men are not emotional and women are, the roles will be assumed by each gender. This is not because they simply feel they are emotional or not, it is because they want to fit into society and not be deemed a strange and unique person. Gender roles and personality traits are simply just a part of culture. Honestly, men can be very emotional, and women can not be at all. It all depends on the individual. This is what makes writing so beautiful. The individual gets to speak, not the gender, the race, the country in which they live, but them. The one person gets to have a voice different than anyone else...
