Notes de l'éditeur
- Feed off from student comments about “different perspectives” “seeing things in a new way” – let’s do that together as a group. We all experience the world around us in different ways based on background, education, region of the country, culture, etc… Here’s a fun way to demonstrate how the gen eds help us see the world in a broader perspective – Common sight in Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania – audience participation – what do you see
- Technology Age – is this super imposed, crafted in some way, is it a set scene?? Tourist post card
- Not just a issue of the modern age – centuries of depiction of farm life, or laborers – idyllic or harsh settings Catalog : “Historical survey of visual arts. Selected works of painting, sculpture, architecture, and other arts studied in relation to the Renaissance to modern cultures producing them. Dolezal, Harper, Hurwit, Nicholson, Schulz, Simmons.” St Handbook: “What compels the artist to make art? How do painting, architecture, sculpture, and other arts relate to the culture which produced the artist and the art work?”
- Now how would a social scientist look at this picture Tie in any audience comments, if appropriate Stats about college students looking for internships on sustainable farms
- Catalog/Student Handbook: “ analysis of replenishable and non-replenishable natural resources and environmental issues and policy.” Terrific for today’s transfer students to look at closely; wonderful for first-year students to look at building into their schedule later. Take as a sophomore or junior after Microeconomics – planning is a good thing; building a knowledge base
- Science is essential to our everyday life – food, public policy, environment Course description: Catalog: “ The concept of an ecosystem; organismal energetics; biogeochemical cycles; succession; population growth; species interactions, species diversity; implications for human ecosystems. Lectures, discussions.” St Handbook : “factors that influence where and when species are present – notes that one of the most widely distributed and abundant organisms on earth is humans.”
- Draw in audience comments about horses & cars; farming scene and industrial world = impact of two clashing? cultures
- Catalog : “Introduction to value systems of various cultures, focusing on how values relate to religion, forms of social organization, group affiliation, and patterns of conflict resolution.” St Handbook : “How do values relate to worldview and religion, identity and group affiliation, patterns of conflict resolution and ethical decision-making.”
- Come back to relevancy of seeing our world informed by different perspectives – general education offers broadening for those who build bridges, teach, heal Advantages and disadvantages – limitations of each point of view – the single prism is insufficient ****************** Transition to Choosing Classes – Oregon has broad req’ments with many choices. Today’s workshop for students is about creating ideas for fall classes --
