Yesterday was all about becoming introduced to an episode of Star Trek - I explained how there was an "Old" series and a "New" series. When exploring the cultish following of Star Trek, I compared it a bit to Christianity - there are people who prefer Old Star Trek as a more pure form, while others prefer the Next Generation. Still others prefer one of the otehr series, while some only enjoy the movies. It's all confusing, especially for Emma M., who asked the question heading this entry. To answer: NONE of them. it's just a show.
In class today, you took a short quiz to gauge your video retention. Then you completed a handout and we came up with our own contextual language (Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, etc.). The lesson is about communication - you need to know not only the words and definitions, but also the CONTEXT in order to truly understand what is being conveyed. That is why it is just as imoprtant to learn about the culture of a people as well as their native language. So, when Fresco played music all the time, it was good for class - but harmful to us and our environment, which is why we moved downstairs.
