“Religion is integral to daily life for billions of people around the world.” (Janaro & Altshuler, p. 275) This is a very true statement if you ask me. If someone were to take a good look at the world the way it is now, they would notice just how many people there are among usContinue reading “Chapter 10 – Religion”
“Film, television, and video are vehicles of creative expression” (Janaro & Altshuler, p. 240) This is very true. When someone thinks of things that allow us to express ourselves, we think of things such as art or books. You know, things that could tell a story or send a message. The three things mentioned inContinue reading “Chapter 9 – Film and Television”
“As with other important ideas, freedom has not had the same meaning in every historical context.” (Janaro & Altusher, p. 428) If you were to go ahead and take a look through the history books, you would notice that this is quite true. It is also true enough for me to agree with it. BackContinue reading “Chapter 16 – Freedom”
“Today, the word ‘natural’ has any number of meanings.” (Janaro & Altshuler, p. 409) One would find this statement to be quite true. For example, there is a “natural professional”. A natural professional is considered to be someone who proved to have a lot of talent at what they are doing from the moment theyContinue reading “Chapter 15 – Nature”
“I don’t mind getting old and facing death when I think about the terrible things to come on this earth.” (Janaro & Altshuler, p. 384) Ah yes…the future of our planet. I am sure everyone knows that the world as we know it will end one day and a new one will never appear. HowContinue reading “Chapter 14 – Life-Affirmation”
“Love has a history.” (Janaro and Altshuler, p. 356) This statement right here is very true. Think about it for a minute…there is a chance that some species may not even exist without love. The thing is, love is what will lead to 2 creatures mating, and then those 2 creatures will reproduce to createContinue reading “Chapter 13 – Love”
“The word “Happy” dates back to our earliest memories.” (Janaro & Altshuler, p. 334) I think everyone will find this statement to be quite true. The word happy is something that has been in everyone’s lives since their early days. For example, that word is very likely to appear on a seasonal card, like aContinue reading “Chapter 12 – Happiness”
“Is acting out of self-interest such a bad thing?” (Janaro & Altusher, p. 309) Ah, the idea of self-interest…at a glance, someone might look at this concept as selfish, as if they always put themselves over others. However, let’s be honest…someone you will want to look after yourself before looking after others. Being a completelyContinue reading “Chapter 11 – Morality”
“Moving to a beat – or, as it is better known, dancing – may be even older than singing.” (Janaro & Altusher, p. 142) Singing and dancing, as someone could quite easily, have been around for a long, long time. But how about we give THIS a thought: it is very possible that the artContinue reading “Chapter 6 – Music”
“As Robert Thiele, a contemporary avant-garde painter, once said, “Art is what the artist does””. (Janaro & Altusher, p. 92) This is true, you know. Art is subjective. There is no specific definition that lays down the law on what art really is. It would be like trying to find out what the best colorContinue reading “Chapter 5 – Art”
