I can't believe its the last week before finals! I feel like this semester went by really fast. I hope everyone enjoyed their classes and made lots of new friends. My first year at BSU was amazing. I got to experience new things and make a new name for myself. I was very sad when we had to leave campus early due to the virus. I made so many new friends and it was hard to leave them all. Ball State is my new home and I am ready to go back. I hope everyone had a good first year and is ready to have fun when we go back!!
In class, we've been constantly discussing how people do or don't have a responsibility to society, looking at that, what we need to think about is what each person's motivations are, and what leads them to do actions. As an example, take a wealthy public figure and imagine they did something to make the public or media mad, so next to get back on the good side of the public, they would make an expensive donation, or start a charity, or even just apologize to have the public and media back on their side. Now some would, no most would say that's just them that doesn't apply to the "average joe," then think of this, a complete random person, "your average joe" if you will, donates to a charity. Why did they do this? To be a good person or because they have a duty to society, no, they did this because, in the end, it makes them look better to the public, or even if it's an anonymous donation, they are still making themselves feel better by doing
I would agree the semester went by very fast. Its great to read that people are excited and happy about their school experiences especially as a freshman. Even with all of the virus news its nice to see people with a more positive mindset.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this year went super fast as well. It was very sad having to change to all online and leave campus. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by the fall that way we can all get back and be with our friends! I hope you are staying healthy and safe!
