Team Resistance

These are the two songs which are the Liberacons Team resistance assignment. Sorry for being late we recorded them on Friday but I could not get them to upload (I guess .Wav format is TOO high quality).

This song is the comparison between the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

This song is the comparison of Liberalism and its rejection in Russia and Germany.

Individual Resistance 5

Does the rejection of Liberalism need to be followed by the implementation of a Totalitarian government? In both contemporary and historical examples of nations refusing to accept Liberalism, the government has always ended up being Totalitarian. For instance, in Russia Liberalism was rejected and a communist government took its place. Eventually, the government degraded into a totalitarian regime because of the corruption and greed of the leaders. Ideally, this was not what the revolutionaries had expected and it was not meant to happen. The revolution in Cuba was fairly similar to the Russian revolution. Cuba did not become a totalitarian state for three years after the revolution. While every country I am aware of that refused Liberalism has become totalitarian, there is a chance that the leader of one of these nations might not be corrupt or power hungry and may keep their promises. However, it would have to be a perfect situation with the people in question having flawless morals.

*Portfolio* - ELA

My experience with the ELA portion of Humanities 30 has taught me many things. Humanities 30 has increased my reading comprehension and my writing ability. I have learned to look past the literal meaning of a text and find the deeper more subtle messages. Aside from this, I have also learned a lot about myself and the extent to which I am capable of comprehending a text. Humanities so far has made me realize my weaknesses and strengths when it comes to reading and writing and I believe has sharpened my writing skills. The assignments I have chosen for the ELA section of my portfolio accurately show the improvement of my work over the course of the year so far.

Independent Reading:
I chose to read George Orwells “1984” for my independent novel study not only because it’s critically acclaimed but also because it includes content which is relevant to my interests. A fictitious Dystopia is one of the most entertaining worlds to read about. The assignment I did for “1984” was little less than exemplary but it taught me a lot about improving my future work. It made me realize that I need to look deeper into the meaning of a novel rather than using first impressions and literal statements for my assignments.
