This video is not related in any way to my groups multimedia project, but I thought it would help get you ready for our online adventure.

This session of online classes has been very interesting. I have learned to work with people online and use internet resources for communication purposes and group collaborations. The material and assignments provided throughout the class made me think about subjects in differently by looking at their rhetoric and determining deeper meanings behind simple ideas.

Overall This class has been a good experience that has helped me grow as a writer and a person. I am looking forward to seeing how everybody's  final projects turn out.

My paper so far.

What is Reality?

Trying to explain reality is like trying to explain the color blue. You know its blue and everyone else agrees its blue, but how do you know others see blue the way you do.

Reality is commonly defined as a thing that is actually experienced or seen. The vagueness of this definition shows the openness of what reality really is.

 How do I know that everything around me is not a working part of my imagination, or better yet, how do you know that I am not a figment of yours? This uncertainty means there is no true definition of what reality is. 

Just like we all agree on the color blue being blue, it can be generally concurred that what reality is a collection of ideas that the vast majority of creatures (in our case humans) believe to be true based upon discovered facts or experiences.

There's a Reason the Milk is in the Back

Grocery stores are supreme examples of organization. This is not because everything is neatly stacked on shelves for you to pick up, but for the logic behind the placement of said items. The produce section and bakery are often placed near the entrance to a store in order to welcome a shopper into the building with the sights and smells of fresh food. The sense of freshness persuades the customer to spend time in these sections, often picking up items along the way, before continuing through their shopping list. Items that are bought the most often, like milk, bread and eggs, are usually placed in the back of the store so a shopper must go through everything else in order to get to them. Foods such as cookies and candy are often placed on lower shelves because of their appeal to children who could then see them more easily. While grocery stores use organization to place similar items together, they also use organization through product placement to promote you to buy more than you intended. Take a look next time you go grocery shopping and see what unexpected things find a way into your cart.
