Short Pieces

Part A) What interest me most about the color blue was that we all have grown up to say that the sky is blue and pick out the different colors, what makes it interesting is that is there really a color blue or do we just perceive ourselves to see the color. As they had described in the article that blue never showed up in Homer’s The Odyssey which was interesting because he described the sea as being a deep-wine color, but when we look at the sea we see a deep blue ocean or a light blue ocean. It’s interesting to get insight on how back than how people would describe things that we normally would claim to be blue. The article says about perception is that everyone does not see everything the same way and the way we see perceive things could be wrong and that our eyes deceive us when it comes to seeing certain colors. The language that has been used in the article is language is language that we as the audience can under and grasp the concept of, along with being clear about statements that the author uses. The author is trying to get us (the audience) to really think about what is being said in the article and getting us to really think about the article. When the article discusses the reality of the color blue it gives us information on the culture back than and how blue was not really a word and different people form different eras used different words to describe the color blue to their audience. It also gets us to think about if blue really is a color or not or if it is just a color that was made up. Just like when Guy Deutscher did a casual experiment on his daughter Alma Detscher while he raised her he never described the color of the sky to her and when she looked up she had the perception that the sky was colorless and made the decision that the sky was white and later on changed her answer to blue.

Part B) My experience with journalism today would be very broad because we read things everyday such on social media what new drama is going on between who and we stay up to date in the loop of what the trends are, the older generation watches the news (not saying younger generations don’t) because they do not really know how to work the way round social media unless help by the younger generation. Also, we rely on journalism to inform us about things that are going on in the world even dealing with things halfway across the world. The new models that are being explored in the article I thing that they are very creative and different because  one ha smore focus on the schools and how they created a nonprofit organization to help cover the bases for a new community of supports for local news.

Part C) It’s not a new concept for me because if bene in a discourse before in high school I was a choir kid, so we all had the same interest in choir. It applies to UCBA because there are many different people from many different backgrounds and how there are some of us that all share the same interest such as our majors. What makes us a whole is that fact that all of us are there for many more than on purpose and we all may or may not have the same goals set for ourselves.
