American Visions and Values LA-400

Week eleven is coming to a close and week twelve is beginning and is it ever going to be busy. With the two big projects due, it is going to keep us busy. The capstone thesis has been a fairly straight forward assignment. I have been getting my buns kicked by the Photoshop software, by we'll get it done.

The readings this week were interesting ones, the two I especially enjoy was "America The Unusual" and An American Morality Tale. When it came to the first one, it was interesting to see some of the comments that came from the questions regarding the, if the government should be involved in the fight against pollution and global warming. My opinion was that it would probably be the only way to get anything accomplished in this area. We have seen that so far it is not happening with just some parts of the population involved in the idea. It just seems we better do something soon or it will be to late.


On the other reading it was interesting to see some of the "morality tales" that people had from their youth. You could see a small glimpse on how some people were raised and the morals they were brought up with. I really enjoyed some of the stories, especially some of the family stories that they shared.

Well off to week number twelve, it is hard to believe that the program is coming to a end. It seems that it went by very quickly. This gets closer to the degree that I have been chasing for many years.......
