August 11: Food!!

We have eaten a lot of food in this class, including donuts, cookies, and jollof rice. How is what you eat influenced by your culture? How does food represent or reinforce certain cultural values?

For example, generally, we as Americans want cheap and fast foods like hamburgers or frozen and prepared meals. What does this say about the United States?

Using what you know about other types of food and the countries that eat it, what can you infer about their culture?

8/11: Reflection

What is the most valuable thing you've learned throughout Bridge? Why?

8/10 Question 2

Our lecture this afternoon is on "fact" and "faith." How do you interpret these terms? How many different interpretations can you think of? How do these terms relate to art and the process of making art?
