‘The Idiots' is Lars von Trier's only movie that strictly obeys the Dogme95 manifesto. It is artistically and structurally justified in calling itself an archetypal Dogme95 film. The director avoids any generic thematic pursuits and shuns all forms of technical enhancements used in Hollywood cinema. Instead, ‘The Idiots' presents us with a visually minimalistic, thematically unclassified story about a group of people who live together in a large house, under the leadership of a fellow

White Teacher Reflection
“‘My Children are black. They don’t look like your children. They know that they are black, and we want it recognized. It’s a positive difference, an interesting difference, and a comfortable natural difference. At least it could be so, if you teachers learned to value difference more.

Descartes
Paper Proposal I 1. Thesis: Descartes seems to jump to his conclusion of the existence of God without much reasoning listed. I will argue that what he has written in his Discourse on Methods and Meditations is not a good enough argument to prove God's existence decisively. 2. Argument: Descartes has five arguments for the existence of God: 1. All we can know about finite substances is they are spatially extended. 2. The mind can

Descartes Third Meditation
Once Descartes has "proved" his existence by way of the Cogito argument, and has determined what it is that belongs to his essence of being a thinking thing, he must move to examining questions about the world around him.

My Reflection
To begin, I’d just like to say that for this class, as a team, I realized that we are interestingly a mix of tactical and creative. As much as we have a clear cut goal (objectives of the class), we are expected to be creative when we need to think outside of the box, such as making recommendations. I also appreciate the fact how there is obvious reciprocal interdependence between our team members. This compares

Poem Reflection
I’ve only recently discovered how relaxing and soothing the art of poetry can be. Before, I looked at the flowing words and expressive lines of poetry with scorn. How could people become so utterly in love with such an odd type of writing? What was the point of learning about the different structures of haikus and sonnets? All I knew was how difficult the poetry section of my English class was going to be.
