SPY~WARE

(WHAT I DID)
For my research paper I chose to do the topic on Hacking and hackers. I spent the night before class googling and facebooking classmates and gathering as much information on each person as I could. Once I had found a photo of a classmate online and some useful information I documented their information on my computer in a word document.

(WHY I DID IT)
I wanted my classmates and everyone to see just how easy it is to GAIN information off line. I wanted everyone to see how much the internet can harm or invade peoples privacy. I didn't expect to gain some of my classmates phone numbers or addresses from the internet.

(HOW I PRESENTED)
I chose to dress in all black (except for my shoes) with a black hat and eye black on my face. I was trying to go for the spy guy look, which I had bought little gear the morning of the Final such as the magnifying glass, the flashlight, and camera.

I ULTIMATELY JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE lol

UNFORGETTABLE

During the course of this class I have seen a lot of cool projects from many of my peers. I have seen some rough, ugly, really sad to look at projects and I have seen projects that blew my mind. My personal favorite project I have done would have to be the FEAR project, when I asked everyone to blow up a balloon and I had to pop them all. I thought it was funny how cheap the balloons were and how I couldn't pop some of them on the first try.

Honesty my mind right now is so mushed up I can think of anything that I could do that would be unforgettable to me or to others. My mind is feeling like mushed up cheese, so I just hope to have something in mind before class today.

WhAt THE HELL iM doIN HeRE??

Last Monday was enjoyable, it didn't seem to be so dreadful like the beginning semester. I like that a lot of my classmates focused more on the topic of "who am I" rather than why am I here. My topic was focused more on who am I. I just felt like before we can ask ourselves why we are here we have to build up our own identities.

Why AM I HeRE? BiGGeR QuestION WHO AM I???

When I heard that our next assignment will be to answer the question why am i here I instantly knew what I wanted to do for this assignment. Before I can answer the question why am i here, I feel I have to answer the question who am i first.

INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
We need to first find out who we are and explore our importance and individuality before we can discover why we are here. If we feel less important we will feel as if there is nothing for us to do here on Earth and we dont know why we are here. I have put together a video that shows the struggle I have constantly about my individuality and in discovery for my purpose here on Earth.

FEAR DAY TWO

I personally liked the second class of the fear day project. I enjoyed it more because it had more emotions behind the fears and the presenters just wasn't up in front of the class b.s-ing. I actually liked being in class on this day, I personally didn't like the first day for many reasons. One being my ass was hurting from being on the floor along with I felt some of the fear projects were too long. I don't mind a good ten to fifteen minutes fifteen being the maximum but thirty minutes up in front of the class talking and talking and talking.

FEAR: DAY 1

To be honest I sat there on the hard, cold, uncomfortable floor wondering for many of the projects "What the hell they afriad of". A lot of the presentations wasn't clear to me what they was afraid of, while a lot of projects from people was trying to create fear from others and not from their own fears. I thought one or two presentations were creative. I just wish some fear projects would make me uncomfortable like the seating on the floor did lol.

MANKINDS GREATEST WEAKNESS

What is FEAR to me?
=>To me FEAR is a series of events that include external or internal stimuli's that triggers different responses within us or to our bodies which creates the emotion we can FEAR.

->FEAR is set by thoughts that we implant within our minds. It's usually created by negative reinforcements at different stages in our lives.
->Although a lot of people view FEAR as a bad thing, FEAR is actually needed in the world to keep ORDER and prevent CHAOS.

=>A man without FEAR wouldn't obey the authorities, nor would he experience any anxiety. A man without FEAR would openly speak his mind since he wouldn't FEAR what others think, feel, or say. He would live RECKLESSLY everyday of his life through unsafe tasks such as unprotected sex, speeding, drugs, and murder. A man without FEAR would have no boundaries in life.

FEAR is mankind's greatest weakness. FEAR limits man from reaching his full potential, his goals, and confrontations. We Fear what we are weak of or is out of our control.


MY FEAR EXPERIMENT

(The situation and the experiment)
In my past I have had a lot of fears. Some fears were longer lasting than others while others were short-term. In my situation I used one of my little tangible fears, the balloons. The balloon pack came in a variety of colors, so I decided to associate each past fear of mine with a color of a balloon. Red= Mom(ster) Black= Afraid of the dark Blue=drowing and etc. By popping the balloons I wanted to release all those past fears along with the tangible of fear of popping balloons.
(The reaction)
The reaction from the class is exactly what I thought it would be. A lot of laughs and giggles came from the classroom as I popped those balloons. Laughs came when I didn't pop the cheaper balloons.
