Who Needs Government Anyway? Well….Umm….

Who Needs Government Anyway? Well….Umm….

This week in class we’ll be discussing where the ideas behind our government came from.  Before the United States was the United States the people living in the Colonies had certain ideas about how they felt they should be treated.  These ideas were influenced by many things within their culture.  The fact that many of them were literate and of European descent meant that they had access to the writings of the “Natural Rights Philosophers.”  People like John Locke and Thomas Hobbes had all written on the purpose of government and what good government should look like.  I posted this picture to illustrate what stores in our town might look like in a state of nature.

Extra Credit Question: (at this point, there are no wrong answers, but make sure you make a serious attempt to answer the question, otherwise I will award you no points.  You also need to be registered)

Based on what we’ve learned in class, do you think government is necessary?  Why or Why not?

Pictures Say A Thousand Words

Digital Productions class can encompass many forms of media.  We have a wide range of topics we could explore, and virtually limitless items to learn about.  During the beginning of the year we will be paying special attention to our photography skills.  For many of us, including myself, photography is simply a “point and shoot” affair.  Sometimes, pictures lack intention and creativity.  However, in order to produce a quality yearbook, we must become very intentional with our picture taking.  The more creative we can be with our pictures, the better our yearbook will be received in the spring.

Pay close attention in the next few weeks as we discuss lighting, flash, and focus.  Though I am no pro, I think together we can snap some memorable pictures.  Who knows, maybe someday you’ll be shooting pictures for National Geographic like this one!
