Thoughts about Earlier Thinking

I can hpnestly say that because of this class my thought process has changed for the better, evolved if you will haha. I think that the views that i had on life and other critical questions have greatly devoloped based solely on the conversations that we have everyday. We tackle serious topics that actually apply to individual lives as well as the "bigger picture". All in all my philosophy has been altered a bit due to this class and I see it in a positive light.

Letter to the Prospective Philosophy Student

Think Analyze and Execute. My advise to the prospective philosophy student. The class is designed to help you process your thooughts in ways that you never thought you could. It also forces you to see other perspectives and views that may be foreign to you and that you dont understand. Initially you may come in thinking your views on life are pretty concrete but over the course of the class i can gaurantee that this aspect will change and be skewed where you will be second guessing yourself. This being said find out for yourself Young Philosopher.

Me at the End

Me at the end of this class. I feel like this class has somewhat matured everyone, including me. The ideas that we approach in this class definately are insightful enough to spark thought processes i didnt even know that i had. I am thankful for the instructor that guided us through al of this regardless of his overuse of the acclaimed shoulder strap. It has truly been a fun experience in which i can confindently say everyone has gained something out of it.

I know this means something

"This" the essence of being, the very act of living and surviving has to mean SOMETHING. It all cant be for nothing, that would be pointless. Maybe the reason that we are here is credited with being more than it actually is, nevertheless there has to be a plausible reason for all of "this". i couldn't imagine that "this" was all a pointless outsource of nothingness. But then again if "this" is a pointless life of nothingness with no purpose i still feel it is irrelevant to my lifetime.This being said i accept the inevitable "truth" of whatever is to come, since it wouldnt matter anyway.

X is Known

Compared to other civil rights activists i feel like X isnt completely studied and given full credit for his philosophies. I think he is viewed more negatively than he actually was. He is usually associated with violence and affirmative action more than any other activist who is usually deemed as peaceful or passive aggressive. X even though his philosophy did include more affirmative acts only did so in self defense, compared to the philosophy of other activist that felt time would mend the damage already done. Both ways were good ways to look at the situation and ultimately could result in the same things, one just had a slightly more negative tag with it.

X marks the Spot

X does mark the spot. He marks the spot directly and where it hurts, his philosophy on how the african american culture should act makes alot of sense. The fact that he believes that they should be independent from "White America" and fend for themselves instead of depending on some sort if magical change. X definately has passion for what he is talking about, he strongly believes that there should be an intersecting line between both cultures. Although i do not necessarily believe in this in this day and time, i can understand where X is coming from with his decision to isolate both cultures.

Album review

Jkwons album hood hop was the best album to grace anyone whos anyones ears the intricate sounds and beautiful beat selection literally made my heart move... Lyrics such as "everyone in the club getting tipsy" shows the pure genius of a lyrical god. He introduces a concept that shows that no matter ones age they can still get crunk and tipsy,exhibited by the obvious cougar that appeared in the tipsy video. Gosh! E ve n talking about it has me gasping for breath...it is breathtaking and is aninstabt classic in the hearts of all . Keep it tipsy.
