How Do We Know What We Know Essay

In my slide show i focused on what is good and what we know. I used the slides I did because I feel babies are the main foundations of what is good. They are pure and havn't been influenced their whole life by outside sources. Babies are innocent, love to laugh and love to have fun and to me that is what is being good. Yes they might cry are get anger or fight with siblings but that is natural. I feel like today in society we think some things are worse then they really are. We need to sit back and let life happen, because good will always come in the end. We are too stuck up on wanting good now and do not see the whole picture.
The other two pictures I have of good is of the lady helping the elder, I just feel like this is touching and it is right to help people who need help. The other picture is directly related to that in that the people holding hands around the world shows how every body needs to help their neighbors whether they are the person next door or the people across the ocean.
The last picture is of the stars and space, which represents what we know. We as a human race feel like we know so much as space portrays, we are only scratching the surfaces of the truths that lie out there. It's like getting to know another person, at first glance we characterize them and believe we know who they are but the truth is is take time to really get to know someone for who they really are.

Aristotle believed that the world could be understood at a fundamental level through the detailed observation and cataloging of phenomenon, so he basically beleived in science. I agree with Aristotle's beliefs, because I can understand it and it obove all makes sense. You do not have to question it because it is what it is and nothing else. I like knowing and knowing for a fact. Facts are what are important, not creations by the imagination.

PIMP, HACK, MOD

PIMP- Not so much of an upgrade, but add ons to make product flashy, stand out, popular. Almost creating a product into "hollywood". It's generally just too much and overwhelming for the eyes.
HACK- mashing something up. I think of it as something like a collage. example may be from the old show junk yard wards where they took anything and everything to make a machine. Ridiculous looking and just crazy and ragedy.
MOD- I think of it as modifications. To make a products performance better. Using better material that improves performance, is more durable, lighters, more springing, tougher and etc. Creating a better and more advanced product.

Analysis Of comic strip

With a plain background the yellow monsters eyes really stick out but it also hides the characters. I feel the plain black and white background is perfect expect I feel I should add some color to most importantly the characters. The characters are not very distinct, but with the addition of specific bright colors I might be able to achieve a more stand out affect.
One characteristic that does separate the characters are the kind of wacky hair style.
The grey does represent the lights being turned off and the room being dark but if the viewer somehow didn’t pick up on the light switch tey might mistaken the grey diagonal lines as rain.
I did forget to put a window in the second slide but other than that the stage is pretty much the same in each scene which is good. Something somewhat confusing is when I uploaded the slides I couldn’t line them up horizontally and when I tried to line them up vertically they are backwards.
