Blogging Around

For starters.... Everyone is really good at writing. All the blogs I have seen are extraordinary.

ninaf2012humanities: Captured Thought: Full-blast Living

In this blog entry Nina talks about how being aware of the world and creativity opens people up to understanding the many view points of people. 

I really enjoyed this reading. Your understanding of this article was so deep that it led you to a really powerful conclusion that I really liked. I liked how you said "After reading, I understood that creative people don't want to be compared to others of the same gender, or ones of the opposite. They want to feel equal to others, regardless of gender". I really found that you saw from his article that creative people are just people who want to be felt. Yes, as equals but also as people. They don't want to be alone, separated by ridged roles, they want to fit the complexity of all human thought. I really enjoyed reading this. It gave me a new insight into how creativity can open ones mind.

samj2012humanities: What If?:Learning to fully understand thigs before I reject them.
Sam's blog talks about his realization of human viewpoints and how he wants change himself and has changed for the better.

I really like your point on how sometime you don't see everything for what it fully is before you reject it. I know I do this more that I should and suffer it's consequences. I feel like through your experience on those mission trips, as I have experienced as well because we went on the same trips, that we can only become truly more aware of the world around us from others. They gave us the ability to listen to some of the most awe provoking musicians on the face of this planet and they showed, at least me, that I can see more than what is just there. I agree that being open to new things makes the world a brighter place. If you close your mind off you fail to see what is there and the vast multitude of color life brings. I really enjoyed reading your realization of this fact of humanity.
