Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Dictionary.com defines tolerance as two distinctly different ideas. On one hand the word is meant as one of open-mindedness, as an interest in those different from oneself. However, it continues on to describe tolerance in medical terms: “the act or capacity of enduring; endurance: My tolerance of noise is limited.” And further: “T.

UWP Blog: June 2008
http://colleenssummerclasswriting.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. More Thoughts on Welfare. After writing my previous post, I was thinking about the power of words. However, the meaning is not embodied in the word itself, but rather the concept behind the word. According to linguistics, words are (almost always) arbitrary. Therefore, the word itself does not hold any special meaning, but rather connects with a specific idea separate from itself. However, unlike stewardess. The feelings then associated with them simply transferred to the new wo...

Friday, June 27, 2008. Living off Ketchup Packets. Less than 2 weeks ago I went through the graduation ceremony. I am/was a double major in Political Science and Dramatic Arts (emph: Theatre). As I look back on my 4 years in Davis, I can recall the countless amount of times working adults have said, "Wow, so are you going to do political theatre? Oh I get it, its the theatrics of politics, you're going to be a lawyer! Interesting combo of majors, why would you do that? I'm aware making it as a working ac...

UWP Blog: Follow up to comments on mobility
http://colleenssummerclasswriting.blogspot.com/2008/07/follow-up-to-comments-on-mobility.html
Friday, July 11, 2008. Follow up to comments on mobility. As to the involvement of technology in this physical. Mobility, and its resulting lack of purity, if you will, I think of a similar example in my own family. One of my cousins is currently pregnant, and is insisting that she deliver her little son at home, without any drugs. The woman is insane. I asked her, "Would you wash your clothes in the river? I take your point entirely that "nothing compares to real human contact"—but I wonder what t...

Paris' UWP Blog: Where Do We Get Our Information?
http://pdperrault.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-do-we-get-our-information.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Where Do We Get Our Information? Is Adam and Eve's sin is misunderstood? Maybe just a taste from the tree of knowledge isn't enough. Is it possible that they just didn't eat enough fruit? S post about the popularity of a political candidate brings up some very interesting thoughts. The voting public places such an emphasis on a president's charisma, looks, and social skills. We must then ask: how do we form our opinion? We are aware that the news channels cut and censor informati...

Paris' UWP Blog: White-ness and Tolerance
http://pdperrault.blogspot.com/2008/07/white-ness-and-tolerance.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. I'm really glad Colleen left her post. To be completely honest, I left class that day feeling a bit ill and unsettled. I, too, am sorry if anyone felt attacked. I believe challenging the core of the way one sees the world is one of the best ways to learn. The discussion of race, ethnicity, and culture can be a challenging one. To be "blamed" for something you personally have not done in the past is an uncomfortable and inappropriate position to be placed in. I grew up in a house ...

Paris' UWP Blog: "You Want a Piece of Me?"
http://pdperrault.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-want-piece-of-me.html
Sunday, July 27, 2008. You Want a Piece of Me? Above is a photo my friend took when she was visiting The Hamptons a few weeks ago. It is a photo of Penn Badgley. And others who I have no idea who they are), stars of the teen drama, Gossip Girl. The photo is hard to see (and it's their backs). Reading Luci’s post. About stalking further makes me think of the facebook. We may not have something as tight-knit as the network in Gossip Girl. So while Gossip Girl is a teen fiction, it’s very much a drama...
