After class discussions, have you had any realizations or made any changes in regards to the philosophies that influences your decisions, actions, or preferences? Has your level of conscious choice to these philosophies changed? Why or why not?
Answer:
Before I was able to attend Humanities 2010, I was not a big believer in any religion. I was slowly becoming a large believer that there was no God or form of god. My through process before this class would be described as flakey, unconventional, and odd. I never wanted to read any form of religion, I just never wanted to hear about everyone else’s opinion. After being in Humanities 210, I now realize that expressing your believes in a religion, even if they aren’t conventional, is perfectly OK. My level of conscious choice has changed very much. Even if there are people who do not agree with you, does not mean that you cannot believe that. I spend a lot more of my time praying and reading the Bible. I have always been very opinionated and strong-willed in my thoughts. Once I took that leap into finally knowing that it is OK to believe in your different thoughts, I felt a lot better about everything that I had to do.

Be specific about forms (novels, poetry, non-fiction) and genres. How would you have described your level of conscious choice of the literature you read? When reading, even just for pleasure, how would you describe your level of contemplation and awareness of symbolism and philosophy? How does your literary preferences reflect your philosophy (or religion if you prefer)? Are you willing to expand your literary exposure? Be specific. How can you utilize what you have learned in class to better understand literature and to enrich your life and your conversations with other? Answer: My literary preference before Humanities 210 was mostly just non-fiction and poetry. I never really read anything, so when I did, I only read certain types genres and forms. My conscious choice of the literature that I read was very high. I really would only read what I felt would intrigue me in many ways. My level of contemplation and awareness of symbolism and philosophy when it came to reading was very low. I was never looking for anything while I read. I would never look back at what I just read or think about it either. I just wanted to always finish the book and see what happened at the end. I do not think that there really is any way that my literary preferences reflect my religion. There is not much of anything that reflects my religion belief. As it was just recently changed. I am occationally willing to expand my literary exposure. Sometimes, I will try to find a piece of literature that teaches me something or has a very obvious philosophy. It is rare that I do that, though. I could use all of the material that I have learned in Humanities 210 in my everyday life, such as conversations with others and literature. I could make my conversations more intelligent and deep with what I have learned. Music: Compare before and after Humanities 210, how would you have described your music preferences?
