So..I was walking in from my philosophy class in Hortense Powdermaker hall...when suddenly something caught my eye. While walking out, to my right was a quote from Michel Foucault. Right now i don't remember what the quote was exactly except that it had something to do with thought.
I thought it was interesting seeing how we just finished reading his essay Panopticism. I was about to continue walking until i looked further to the left and found another quote, by Paulo Freiere. I don't remember the quote at all as i was leaving. I was just thinking that these 2 quotes are side by side each other, and that we just did a comparative essay on works by these 2 people. I was also wondering how significant these people are, or why Prof.Less chose them as topics of reading and disucussion. I just found it interesting is all..

Reasons/Conditions for Revision
Yesterday, we went over a sheet that gave 10 reasons for revisions. This sheet had certain phrases that were to be interpreted into a more practical reason. I found this fun to do. We were grouped up to decipher the phrases. My group was given phrase 1 and 2. which were:
1. All life is meaningful.
2. Memory is selective and fallible.
--------------------------------------
My group came up with the following, respectively:
1.Time can always bring you new ideas and thoughts, these thoughts can change previous ideas and views that you had on a topic.
2.You can make mistakes on based on the things that you recall, when you recall them you can recall them with a bias and make the event not true.
It was very tricky to think of a proper way to further define the phrases but it was fun.
