Hearing Rod Sterling’s comments were extremely helpful. After watching my first episode of the Twilight Zone with my Dad a few years ago, I always wondered where the ideas for The Twilight Zone spawned. Thus, when the students asked the question, “Where do ideas come from?” I was delighted to hear Sterling’s answer. His answer was quite profound. Sterling simply answered that ideas come from “one’s experiences.” I thoroughly enjoyed how he showed that story is personal and comes from the experiences of one’s life. Such an idea, thus, further proves that story is an integral part of mankind. Furthermore, Sterling’s remarks regarding the formation of ideas provided me with a greater understanding of the definition of story. Yes, I believe, story is a specific structure containing key elements; however, story is not a cold formula, in which one inputs data and achieves an end product. Story is a personal outpouring of one’s experiences. Sterling’s comments, thus, greatly showed the personal aspect that story contains. Watching the videos produced by Harvard, greatly aided my understanding of the privacy laws which each journalist should thoroughly know. Although I knew many regulations and restrictions existed to maintain one’s privacy, I never knew the extent of all the laws. When I was watching this series of videos, two things stood out to me. First, as a journalist, although many laws exist, I should not become discouraged. When viewing the videos, I felt as thought it…

Coming from a person who isn’t a big Science-Fiction fanatic, the way Andy Stone gave his speech over Science-Fiction movies, instantly made me feel giddy like a little girl on Christmas morning. The way Andy Stone started off his speech talking about Christmas first had me questioning his thought process, but after he made it flow into the rest of his introduction, which lead him into his body points about Science-Fiction. He also had a great thesis that helped the receivers understand what his…
