Change...

This video to me meant that people were taking control of their society and helping it. I believe that this video was to promote people making a change, for example, helping people on the street, promoting peace, raising money for hurricane victims. This video was all about coming together and making a change, making a difference for the better. That is what this video was about to me.

Google SketchUp final project!

This project was fun, it was something I could finally just do what I wanted. This project is of my actual room at home. It is exactly the same. I felt that this project was challenging at times yet very fun, the tool I really love was the offset tool, it made my furniture come to life! I didn't like the rotate tool because I got frustrated with it at times.

My Dream Room!

 
     While I built this house, and room, I felt a feeling of satisfaction when I was done. It was a struggle to get all the angels correct, and I had a bit of an issue with rotation at first. I also faced problems with moving the furniture into my room, because I  put them underground some how. As soon as I figured out all of my errors in this process I completed the task at hand with grace and pride. The tool I used for the first time was the rotation tool, and the protractor tool.  The tool I came to love and depend on was the orbit tool, without this tool I probably wouldn't have been able to finish this project. It helped me go anywhere I wanted and look at the exact angle I wanted to. I love this tool! another tool I found very helpful was the push/pull tool, this tool made my furniture and technology come to life! This project was difficult, however, I look at it and like the feeling of accomplishment that runs over me.

Should we define someone by their actions or their intentions?

        I believe we should define someone by their intentions. I think this because actions can be good or bad, if someone does an action and it fails you shouldn't define them by this failure, you should define them by what their intentions were with this action. Therefore, if they fail at their action they can be rewarded by their intention and not their failure. Intentions to me are the purpose if the action, you cant define a person by their actions if their action was undefinable for what kind of person they are. You can define a person by why they do that action. It shapes their personality and purpose in life. For example, if I were to try to organize a group for promoting world peace, but I couldn't get enough people, my intentions were still good, I just failed at my first attempt for my intention. Another example is, if I were to help the elderly because I got money from the school or something, the intention would be for money and not for actually helping out someone in need. This is why I believe we should define someone by their intentions and not just there actions.
