Un propósito de este blog es investigar cómo los derechos humanos fueron violados y defendidos en la película Romero. La película, Romero, se trata del arzobispo Oscar Romero y su cruzada pacífica en contra de los ataques en la gente Salvadoran por el gobierno. En tiempo de las guerras guerrillas, hay muchas violaciones de los humanos derechos básicos. Sin embargo, Arzobispo Romero es un ejemplo de una persona que defendió los derechos de su gente. Aunque este película es una obra de ficción, es basado en los acontecimientos la vida real por lo que es importante y interesante explorar cómo los derechos fueron violadas y defendidos durante la historia.
En los 1970s en El Salvador el gobierno intentó acallar los insurgentes usando violencia en contra de la gente inocente, también. El gobierno mataron y secuestraron muchas personas durante este tiempo. El cura, Oscar Romero fue promovido a arzobispo porque la gente a cargo creyó Romero fue conservador y ayudaría calmar los curas activistas y otros pero no fue el caso. La actitud de paz de Romero cambia cuando su amigo, un cura, fue matado y luego Romero denuncia públicamente los acciones de terror. El habla en el radio en contra del presidente de El Salvador con la atención del nación y los mensajes fueron controvertidos.. El continuó este en los 1980s hasta que arzobispo Romero fue asesinado durante una misa para el funeral de su madre.
Este segmento viola El Derecho Humano número 9.
“Nadie podrá ser arbitrariamente detenido, preso ni desterrado.”
En este escena Romero intentó negociar un situación de los rehenes en una manera pacífica. Después de un acuerdo y la gente y el rehén salen el edificio en paz, los soldados arrestan ellos y Romero por ninguna razón. El Derecho Humano es violado porque hay no juicio justo y Romero no ha hecho nada.
Este parte El Derecho Humano número 7 fue violado entre otros más.
“Todos son iguales ante la ley y tienen, sin distinción, derecho a igual protección de la ley. Todos tienen derecho a igual protección contra toda discriminación que infrinja esta Declaración y contra toda provocación a tal discriminación.”
El hombre manejando el carro es el cura Rutilio Grande, un amigo de Romero. El y la gente en el carro fueron matado por ninguna razón. Este Derecho dice que la gente tiene protección, pero al contrario hay no las consecuencias por los crímenes y la gente en la comunidad y en la iglesia como los curas no son seguras.
En este segmento El Derecho Humano número 18 fue violado y defendido.
“Toda persona tiene derecho a la libertad de pensamiento, de conciencia y de religión; este derecho incluye la libertad de cambiar de religión o de creencia, así como la libertad de manifestar su religión o su creencia, individual y colectivamente, tanto en público como en privado, por la enseñanza, la práctica, el culto y la observancia.”
El derecho a religión de Romero y la gente fue violado porque los soldados fueron vivido en la iglesia. Un soldado antipatico no dejarlo Romero entrar la iglesia. El soldado intimida Romero y dispara el altar. Este representa la tensiones entre del gobierno y la gente porque, como lo veo, religión es lo que los unió. Romero guio su gente a la iglesia reafirmarse sus derechos a religión.
El mejor cosa que entendí después de viendo Romero es que el gobierno tiene el poder defender los derechos pero sorprendentemente muchos tiempos les van en contra de ellos, también. Es deprimente que una persona como Romero intentó sostener los derechos humanos pero va matado en la tentativa. Simboliza el precio a los derechos y sus importancias.

This source will
be used to give insight throughout my research paper. A paragraph will be
written explaining how gravity is used to keep our satellites in orbit for the
purpose of communication, navigation etc. Without satellites, our modern
society would look extremely different and without the assistance of gravity

This source gives
insight into exactly what gravitation potential energy is. In my research paper,
I plan on discussing it briefly to give background knowledge on how a trebuchet
is able to use this to launch objects. In the paper, I will briefly touch on
how this concept works but will not go into detail as far as explaining the
math and applications of the equation used to calculate gravitation potential
energy. .

This source will
be used to find other applications of gravity throughout our society. Gravity
works in numerous ways and works on all objects equally. However, some objects
are affected differently due to mass or air resistance or other variables that
determine how much of it is being affected by the natural force.

I needed to know
when a trebuchet broke records during this competition because this is one of
the few modern day applications of a trebuchet while still keeping in mind its
original purpose. Punkin Chunkin is a nationwide event that pits machines
against each other to compete for the longest throw of a pumpkin. One specific
category is using the trebuchet. Although it isn’t the most powerful machine
throughout the competition, it is still fascinating to bring in fans every
year. Specifically, Yankee Siege, the record breaking trebuchet has brought in
a large fan base to the event.

This source was
especially helpful when considering the body paragraphs for my research paper.
There are not many applications in modern society for gravitational potential
energy. However, gravity is still utilized throughout society and this source
gives me some specific examples of what those are. It provided me with four
different applications of gravity including the early use of the trebuchets,
which will be explained in another part of the capstone, not the paper.

I used this
source for my final body paragraph of my research paper. Roller caosters in
general take advantage of gravity throughout the course of the ride, especially
when they are taken to the peak of its track. At the point where the coaster
train drops, it is converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic
energy. This source gives me specs on the fastest, tallest roller coaster in
the world. I used this coaster specifically to give an example of how gravity
creates mass amounts of energy and is then used to do work.

I used this
source to analyze how perpetual motion is a theory that often uses gravity to
create constant action within a device but to no fault. Usually, these ideas
are “futile” and often don’t work. In my paper I talk about how we may indeed
use gravity to tackle the problem of creating a machine that can actually
produce enough energy to sustain its own operation and supply energy to a load.
This would result in unlimited energy and I believe, just as people believed flight
to be impossible, we only think this cannot happen because our technology has
not yet advanced to that point yet.

source to describe how it is applied and related to gravity, but this source specifically
gave me an understanding of how exactly to describe it in the paper before
diving into deeper analysis of how we may use it in the future because at this
point it is a theory that we belive to be impossible.

Pumpkin Chunkin
is the last popular application of trebuchets in society. Every year, groups of
engineers being their machines to compete for who has the machine that can
launch a pumpkin the farthest. In this competition, the machines are categorized
and separated based on what type of machine they are. There is one group that
is specifically trebuchets and I found an interest into how many of these
trebuchets performed. Not to mention, their specs of their machines were
astronomical compared to the machine Vinny and I built.

This source is
actually a replacement for having the trebuchet in front of the audience
because it is always more effective to show people what you’re talking about
instead of simply talking about it. This is a clip of the trebuchet working at
its finest without actually launching a projectile in the room. This displays
the machines potential while still keeping it consistent with the overall
message of informing.

This source will
be useful for my history part of my capstone which gives a timeline of the uses
of the trebuchet on the website. The trebuchet lasted for a great deal until
the invention of gunpowder and was then deemed obsolete. Currently, trebuchets
are used more for recreational purposes, but still used throughout society. The
concept that drives the performance of a trebuchet is gravitational potential
energy which will be explained in other parts of the capstone.

This is more
evidence I will use in my research that gives light to modern day applications
of gravity. Tidal power is used throughout oceans to generate electricity using
the tides, which are a result of the earth’s moon and the sun. The
gravitational effects these two entities have play a great role in the
invention of a new way to create renewable energy. This is both beneficial to society
and the environment because, with a struggling ecosystem, there is never a
wrong time to sacrifice a little if it means better the earth’s health.

I used this

also knew I could obtain information about what different cultures and
countries utilized the trebuchet in ways that Alexander used them throughout
the sieges. The trebuchet was the primary heavy artillery alternative in the 12th
century and remained that way until the invention of gunpowder. It was still
used as a last resort, as demonstrated in 1779 by the British. Now, the
trebuchet is little more than a little entertainment

The Warwick Trebuchet is the world’s largest

large these machines were. The trebuchet Vinny and I made was around 11 feet
tall, and the Warwick trebuchet stands a towering 59 feet. This also goes
deeper into exactly what I wanted to do with this source. Vinny and I had a job

Yankee Siege is the trebuchet that currently holds the record for longest

practical application trebuchets have in today’s society, but it still serves a
purpose. Trebuchets that can be made today upstage those used in the 12th

“Damn that reeks, how long has this shit been here?” Dharjin sneers. Or rather, bellows, as he is never quite aware of the thunderousness of his own voice. His burly structure does little lessen the affect as well; in fact his towering height carries his voice across great distances, much like the vastness of the edifice in which he and his team now stand.
“Given the dampness and coldness, 2-3 days perhaps,” says Askra, the youngest of the platoon. He walks, unwavering in dull expression, to the rotting body of a young woman no older than 30, it appears. He kneels beside her, flashing a light on pale, petrified eyes and an open mouth. Closing his eyes, he then shakes his head in disgust and continues, “This is the seventh one today.” He scans the distorted face, and a name appears on his screen, “Mafrir, Jinka.”
Askra opens the air tight carton, releasing an impermeable plastic membrane that surrounds the body. Dharjin growls. “Damned fools! All the same reason! They think that they’ll reach Detoxification, but they never will! Only digging their own graves...” he exhales slowly, as if expelling all of his well-kept anger, despite his boisterous behavior that, at times, would make one feel otherwise.
“To them, an ascent of this magnitude is worth their lives many times over,” adds Askra, who is now scanning the area for more bodies, “this ascent is all that they have to live for now.”
He stands slowly, as if consciously commanding each muscle to perform the painstaking of lifting his mass off the ground. “Let’s search around some more.”
Imagining the previously vivacious and radiant building was now near impossible, giving the dripping ceilings, and mold covered corners. It used to be a one of the most beloved community centers in all of Kilua, and even held some historical value at it was build in 2067, near 100 years ago. However, the recent performance of Detoxification left the edifice abandoned, as community hadn’t mattered so much anymore. Now, it has become a hotspot for crime, and an ideal location for the disposal of evidence.
Dharjin runs a light along the wall, revealing older and more recent pieces, however, the message is all the same engraved in the bottom of each frame is the same message, “Hail and behold the light! Seek the truth! Relinquish the self in search of one’s true being!” He turns away in disgust. “Askra, let’s check up stairs,”
“Fine. But we mustn’t stray too far as we await the captain’s arrival,”
They run a search into the second level, fortunately, and perhaps unfortunately as well, without success. Each rooms grows more cryptic the deeper they enter the building, increasing in darkness, and, more mysteriously, size. Askra’s sharp mind processes this pattern first, which spikes his curiosity to focus more on the location of each room, rather than its content. They reach the end of a hall where the final room is locked. The two men combine their forces in an attempt to break it down, though their attempts are without avail.
“Shit, this just won’t budge, eh? We’ll have to return to base for a laser- strange that we don’t have one,” Dharjin states.
“Cap might-”
“I do,” Askra is cut of by the sudden appearance of Fakir, who walks over to the unyielding door after tipping his head in acknowledgment to his team. He adjusts a switch on a concealed wrist band, releasing a steady, yet powerful beam that follows the frame of the at least 10 foot high metal frame. Once the revolution is completed, the door falls inwards, revealing a room possessed by a deafening silence and piercing darkness. Fakir enters first, flashing his brightest light down the room to reveal a machine machine 20 feet high.
“What is that?” Says Dharjin impatiently
“I’m not sure,” Askra replies as he approaches cautiously, “perhaps an old world generator of some sort- Cap, could I get some more light no this angle? Perhaps I can look inside of its old fusion box and find something” As he begins to search the contents of the of the machine, Fakir asks, “What is our current status on found bodies?”
Dharji replies, “So far one, sir. Female, early 30’s. Mafrir, Jinka.”
“Cap?” Askra turns abruptly, questioning the sudden disappearance of the light. “Cap, is everything- “
“What name did you just say?” Fakir asked slowly, as if words induced a slow poison on his lips. Dharjin gulped as he sees a slight crazed look in the eyes of his commander, now staring at him with his chest rising and falling in rapid succession.
“Mafrir, Jinka, sir,” He replies with eyes locked on the captain. Suddenly, the area becomes dark as save for the small path of a rolling light, of which, the subordinates quickly realize the captain dropped.
Dharjin steps forwards, with all the cautiousness within his possession, questioning this strange stillness that’s possessed their captain. He clears his throat. “Cap?”
However, Fakir is lost in a trance. In a silent state of opacity, making the air around him completely unreadable.
However.
It is clear that his body trembles slightly, and is growing more spasmodic with every passing moment. And suddenly he crashes! His body convulses, and short, ragged breathes escapes his lungs.
“No! No! This can’t be!” He howls. His teammates are frozen in their placements, having never witness such a behavior from him. He stops with screeching abruptness, lifting his head to confirm his fears. To substantiate the name that had just heard. No. No.
“Jinka,” he whispered.
~~~~~~
They lazed about in Paliua Fields, enjoying the intoxicating presence of the other, ultimately disregarding all urgency of other matters. Fakir laid his head in the lap of his beloved, who was momentarily lost in some obviously weighty thought. Though he said nothing, as he knew her light consciousness would soon bring her thoughts into light. There was nothing that she’d keep from him. Stroking his hair, she begins:
“Fakir, what do you think of humanity? Of where we stand in the moment?” He wasn’t necessarily taken aback by her sudden question, but he knew that it would obviously lead to what had been keeping her so bottled up.
“I think that we have been in a constant stand still. Yes there have nearly zero world wars in the last 50 years, and international peace is well its way to establishment, however, humanity will not change Jinka,”
“Even with the that new Detoxification process that their creating? I’ve heard wonderful reviews about it. It will bring us to our highest state of being. It will bring us to true selves! What we were always meant to be! In fact, I’ve been thinking-”
“Stop right there Jinka, I forbid it,” he said sternly
“But why, Fakir?” she inquired softly. “I think it would be-"
“Do you want to risk your soul for such a thing?! Detoxification is not salvation, it is fraud!”
“But what of the magnificence that it presents! The glory! One mere step away from divinity- if I dare to say that it is not divinity itself!” she gently unwound herself from his embrace, allowing herself physical expression to amplify her words. “Darling, we now have the capabilities to be so much more! More than another animal in the food chain, or being made for a purpose. We have given ourselves power, knowledge, and access to worlds unknown. But now, oh now, there is nothing beyond our reach. We have found a way to maximize our human potential!”
He looked at her with sad eyes, while contrastingly, she looked at him with overwhelming joy. He grit his teeth for a second before tearing his eyes from hers, which seemed to beckon him into understanding. Though he could not. Grabbing both her hands into his, eyes near frantically roaming her face, he took in the unbelievable beauty of dark skin, and pale eyes- a rare yet enticing combination - then brought them up like they were his own hands, burying his face into them as if that was the location in which his salvation lied.
“Jinka…" he squinted because of the lights surrounding her, "Don’t try to cut in on this either, because you’re quite quick to protest. But understand, or at least to attempt,” he closed his eyes, “there are somethings that we humans just aren’t meant to see.”
~~~~~
As if all the world’s electricity went running through his body, Fakir wakes in a swift gasp, throwing his body upright like it is the most basic instinct possessed by man. He finds himself in the recuperating room of the his office, and realized that he had sent himself into a state of shock, and collapsed.
Jinka.
How could she be there?
Her image races through his mind as the cruel reality was setting back . He stifles back more sobs, as a subtle awareness kicks in, making him abruptly turn his head to find the curious eyes of his commander on him.
“Fakir,” Commander Hibhan breathes. Fakir remains speechless, for exactly what could he say? Seeing Fakir’s unresponsiveness, Hibhan carries on himself. “Fakir, you needn’t be ashamed was what transpired today. I’m terrible sorry for your loss.”
“I thought she was dead years ago, Commander,” Hibhan raises an eyebrow, and suddenly realizes how little he questions the personal life of his best platoon leader.
“Please explain, Fakir”. He gathers himself, and begins.
“When the Detoxification process was first being undergone, she spoke to me of her consideration to undergo it herself. I forbade her. Though, one night 5 years later, she left me note saying that she was going to do it, and if I came to my senses, then I would too.
He paused briefly and continued, “While I knew that she’d never return to me, I didn’t imagine that it’d be like that. I imagined that she’d return to me a completely new woman- a woman that was touched by divinity. But when she hadn’t returned home, I went to the detoxification center myself- my status thankfully granting me sufficient access. When I reached the administrator of the process, they told me that I had to detach myself from her. They told me ‘She belongs to divinity now’. They then continued to tell me that all who undergo the process can no longer go back to their past lives, for their existence too great for us mortal humans...so I accepted my fate and her fate and carried on living.”
Hibhan looking pityingly at Fakir, “But why did you then assume death?”
He coldly replied, “She was then a part of another world where she could no longer have any relation to me- seems an awful lot like death. But why would her body show up in an abandoned center? If she was so unreachable in this world now?” he suddenly gasps in horror at his own correctness. “I told her that process was a fraud! And they killed her-!”
“Is no fraud, Fakir. Pull yourself together and listen to me,” he cut in sternly, “The Detoxifying process is not for everyone, Fakir, and that is what they don’t tell you. It is held to the utmost esteem, for they advertise is as the ever attainable, and accessible passage to divinity. Well let me tell you this, it kills. The majority of people who go in for detoxification do not leave detoxified- in fact they don’t leave at all. Those who are detoxified, are no longer human, because they have the capacity for divinity.” He sighs deeply. “And that community center was home to one of the first tests for Detoxification. That machine that Askra spoke of to me was probably one the earlier, yet faulty models.”
Fakir sits silently, unsure of what to say. The multitude of events is currently to much for him to handle, making him groan in sheer frustration. Hibhan suddenly stands, making Fakir jump.
“I’ll let you sit on all of this,” his says with his voice growing smaller as the door closes behind him.
Fakir watches the door close, and swears that the light in the room in suddenly duller with his commander’s absence.
~~~~~~
With the days passed him by, Fakir couldn't bring himself to move. He isn’t sure how long he’s stayed in the same bed, in the same clothes. He isn’t aware of the foul stench that he’s emitting, nor the extreme overgrowth in hair and fingernails. However, since the discovery of Jinka, he hasn’t moved from that spot, only accepting a daily meal and headquarters status from his platoon or Hibhan. Hibhan the platoon had excused him, and decided that it were best for him to stay out of the work, and more importantly, the public, until he came to his senses. Though curiously, Hibhan’s seems to light up room in way that no one else can.
During these hours of complete thought, Fakir began to hear things. He had began to hear the hallway murmurs, ignorantly praising those who underwent detoxification, purifying themselves. He heard someone say, "I wish I could get detoxified…how grand would it be to see the world as if we were all gods ourselves?". He muttered that such a right belonged to whatever god there was, not us. He then heard things that haunted his dreams. He heard Jinka first whispering softly in his, then screaming terribly only seconds later. He heard the voices of men chanting. He heard the city collapsing. But somehow, worst of all, he heard the voices come together in unison saying, “Hail and behold the light! Seek the truth! Relinquish the self in search of one’s true being!” He screamed several times himself, screaming from his crazed self, and screaming to be away from it all.
Now he still sits upright, motionless, staring into the strange light rolling across the room. He wonders, where did that light come from? He cocks his head to the side curiously, and decides to stand and follow it. He falls at first, seeing as though he hasn’t stood in quite some time, but then stands and continues to follow the rolling light. It carries him outside of his office and down the stairs. Then outside of the building. The into the city plastered in fake terrace. It follows a road that spirals downward into habitats of the grim faced. Past the center of detoxification that seems to be brighter than usual. It light rolls all the way down to a grim building which mold covers its corners and drippings fall from the ceilings. It travels up a level and down a hall where the room gradually increase in size. It rolls into the last room, and hits a piece of machinery with a ting.
“Oh look, I’m back here” he says almost absentmindedly. “I followed the light!” He nearly screams. He circles the ruinous machine and running calloused fingers around its metal frame. Suddenly, he hits a a button, sending a colossal light into the ceiling. His eyes widen in amazement, and even excitement, as his most primal instincts stir inside of him, beckoning him to touch the light. He realized that the truth was in front of him. His truth self could be found in the light.
“Hail and behold the light...Seek the truth... Relinquish the self in search of one’s true being” he mumbles unknowingly and he plunges himself forward.
I chose to use this as my topic because its something that I have been around my entire life. Cigarettes are extremely popular from youth all the way to the elderly. As someone who has smoked cigarettes plenty of times, but has never fallen victim to their addictive qualities I have always had a very large indifference with cigarettes and never quite could understand them. I have always been interested in the idea of people spending so much money on something like this and they have been around for decades, never really losing their popularity despite plenty of people fighting against them. Not only are cigarettes extremely popular and present in todays economy, but also in the media. From commercials to movies cigarettes are widely used and talked about.
Cigarettes addictiveness has kept people spending tons of money just to get their fix. Some people would refer to this as a “legal drug” and in reality this is true. When it comes to globalization and the economy cigarettes are a worldwide favorite. Cigarettes were traded heavily by the europeans and when the industrial revolution arrived they became even more popular. This lasted for a long time where plenty of people were constantly smoking, until the 1900s arrived with more scientific advances that taught people about the dangerous qualities of cigarettes, however this was not enough to end the era of cigarettes and they are still sold and used everywhere to this day.
Cigarettes also made it into the music industry. Widely song about in all genres of music. Cigarettes are known as a national symbol for coolness and people associated with being cool usually smoke cigarettes whether its characters in film or actual celebrities all the way to your local high school cool kids and frat boys.
"The history of Tobacco ." . Boston University Medical Center, n.d. Web. 9 May 2013. <http://academic.udayton.edu/health/syllabi/tobacco/history.htm>.
This site has a good amount of information for the more history related aspects of Tobacco which can help me trace globalization to some of its earlier days. I will be able to get some of the details from its launch into the trade.
I chose these two advertisements because they show a great example about how the difference in scientific research on cigarettes was changed over time and discovered to be unhealthy and no longer promoted by doctors.
Fort Minor- Cigarettes . Youtube, Film. 9 May 2013. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4BtXstAMVc>.
This song is a perfect example of cigarettes and their influence on todays modern media and youth. The music is listened to all over and it talks a lot about cigarettes in a metaphor for rapping, but also talks about how cigarettes are an example for coolness.

"Tobacco Timeline." http://academic.udayton.edu. The University of Dayton. Web. 10 May 2013. <http://academic.udayton.edu/health/syllabi/tobacco/history2.htm>.
This timeline will be helpful among other to help me work and create my timeline giving me details from tons of time periods where the trade of tobacco was present.
I wasn’t sure how to format this link, but i plan to use this as an example for the distribution of tobacco as well as tobacco accessories which are also something that overwhelms the economy.
I chose this picture because it shows the simplicity and expense of modern day tobacco sales and how people can not only get them easily, but they are quite expensive for their mass abundance.

PERSONAL STATEMENT
My topic of choice for this benchmark is the topic of statelessness. The way I believe statelessness relates globalization lies directly in the name. People who are statelessness belong to no one. They can’t get jobs, health insurance, or citizenship with the worst part being the countries that live won’t grant it to them. Since countries don’t recognize them as citizens, their welfare is completely irrelevant to the global world. They aren’t granted basic human rights that we, as citizens in a global community, try to uphold. Also a lot of the time with stateless people, their culture is also at stake. The government, or anyone for that matter, has the ability to do literally whatever they want to stateless people because they belong to no one. Because of this, many stateless people fall into human trafficking, another serious issue. Granted, many countries have been making advances to help these people regain citizenship but one thing I was thinking of covering is when different cultures assimilate into other cultures. Is their culture also being lost when they gain these basic human rights through gaining a nationality? Something like statelessness can easily been fixed but the reason it hasn’t been is because many countries don’t know how to deal with something like statelessness. The majority of people can’t even really comprehend what it’s like to be stateless because they’re used to the idea that someone born somewhere are always considered a citizen. I think that in order for statelessness to cease to be an issue, countries must first recognize that these people are being greatly discriminated against and then development laws that both ensure a citizenship and also ensure the protection of their basic human rights.

My project is a continuation
of a project I started in Herman class last year. The project instructions was
to come with up with a topic of our choice, and realize that everything has a
history. I choose to do mine on Special education and the outlook society gives
them. Mr. Herman came up with the idea that I should start it last year and use
it for my capstone for the following year because I want to be a teacher. My
final project is a video partially made from last year and the rest from the
observations I have done this year while visiting Pennsylvania school for the
Deaf.
The purpose of this project was to learn about Buddhism and Monasticism, specifically Thai Buddhism and the woman’s role. This Portfolio begins with a relatively concise explanation of the fundamental ideas and history of Hinduism and Buddhism, including Upanishadic Monism, Buddha’s life and influence, the theory Samsara, the theory of All Suffering, the theory of Emptiness, and the three main types of modern Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana and Tantra.
The second part of this portfolio contains information on the current status of women in Thailand. It examines the differences between Bhikkhuni and Mae-Ji and explains the political and social repercussions. Finally, it discusses, without conclusion, the possible factors of these differences.
The third part of this portfolio deals with my own personal experience imitating the Monastic lifestyle of a Bhikkhuni and the experiences of the students in Professor McDaniel’s class (a class on the monastic lifestyle in a University setting).
Also included is a timeline of important events starting from Buddhas birth, a glossary of words, and examples of Thai-Tantra Buddhist sites with pictures that I took during my year abroad.
All information in this Portfolio should be understandable to someone who has never studied Buddhism before. With this portfolio I hope to educate and interest my reader, and I challenge him or her to consider how what they learned here might apply to their own life.
For my capstone, I made a short film, entitled, Splintered Wood. It’s a drama piece about a boy who tries to bridge the gap between two beloved family members who don’t like each other, while maintaining his own strong relationship with the two of them. The questions the necessity of familial love, and also wrestles with themes of the unit versus the individual.
I chose this as my capstone because ever since my freshman year, I knew I wanted to make a short film, I just had no idea as to how I was going to pull it off, or what the short would even be about.
Then around my junior year, I wrote a script, and took a real liking to it. So much so, that I actually shared it with another breathing person. When I shared my script with others, they seemed to like it too, further solidifying the idea in my head that this was what I wanted to do.
I implemented the core values through spending two years in Digital Video inquiring and researching how short films are made. I had to collaborate with actors, and the presentation was the actual film.
After preproduction, each step overlapped. After the script was written, I was doing script readings with one actor while shooting with another. Also, the entire time we were shooting I was editing, so production and postproduction were happening all at the same time.
The biggest obstacle was scheduling. One of the actors had graduated high school, while the other two were still students, one of which was a junior who was always busy. Scheduling was very complicated, but when the stars would align, it turned out alright.
The process was very stressful, mainly because I was doing this all on my own. I was directing, producing, editing, casting, working with the sound recordings, and scheduling all of the shootings. Sure, I had two years of experience with this, but when you’re truly on your own, it’s a different kind of ball game.
I’m really proud of the work that was accomplished. Save for the actors, I did this all on my own. I’m really impressed with myself that I was able to do it because there were definitely times where I thought I couldn’t.
I learned a lot about film production, with the biggest lesson being that a crew is as important to have than a cast. One person cannot do all of the work on the crew side of things.
I think I would have taken some students from entry-level dig vid to have as a crew so that they could learn what it’s like to be a part of one, because that’s not necessarily something that we practiced all the time in dig vid.
When I interviewed to become a student at SLA, I promised that I would bring people together, and I think I’ve done that through various projects that I’ve managed to pull off during my time as a student here. There are very view students that currently attend SLA that haven’t seen me do something weird or tell someone else to do something weird in the name of a film project. There are many ways to unify a community. Film was just my way of doing it.

Topic Summary:
For my senior graduation project, my goal was to create a community event that invited the public to explore the idea of spirituality. To widen and open the perspective of the average America's focal point, and bring them deeper into themselves for internal happiness. Which leads to infinite happiness.
Project Abstract:
When thinking of what to do, when to do it, how to do it, and feel the ability to do it. You have to feel inside of yourself. What does your core say? It says to be inspired. Be inspired with multiple perspectives. My project was an inspiration of a woman I met 4 years ago. She invoked my interest of feeling deep, but not deep into religion. After meeting her, I met a multitude of interesting teachers and spiritual beings that changed my life! This feeling of sitting for 10 minutes and emptying your thoughts. The emotion of knowing that your have control of your emotions. That there is so much more than this physical world, but a spiritual world deep inside of you. That we are not a soul that inhabits a body, but a body that inhabits a soul. This is our Earth journey. This is the Earth journey I wanted to make open and available for the public. So I reached out to professional teachers. People who have been studying a specific topic their entire life. It has been their lives journey to explore the depths of this. For I know plenty, but they are wiser. I then brought them together to fill class rooms with interest Adults, teens, and children. The vibrational energy was amazing, and it did so much good for many Philadelphian citizens. I was told afterwards to some day create another exhibit like this. For what I offered to the Public needs to be given more often.
Wise, Edwin. "Chladni Plate." MAKE: Projects. Makezine.com, July 2012. Web. Jan. 2013.I found this source helpful because it was primary instructions onto how I will be building my Chlandi Plate. I used these materials and instructions to build a device that was able to visibly show the vibrations in sound frequency. It taught me that when place a set vibration, such as 12Hz, and placing fine sand on a metal vibration plate, it would form beautiful designs that is similar to what happens in our brains when listening to sound frequency during meditation. This was needed for the section of Sound Frequency that is being spoke about in my exhibit. Instead of speaking, I'd much rather show the audience what it looks like, since, seeing.. is believing. These vibrations put our mind into a trance. &This site did a very well job at making how to do so, possible.
"Astral Projection." YouTube. Ed. Spirit Science. YouTube.com, 18 Jan. 2012. Web. Jan. 2013.This source was very helpful because, it was the key source needed in order to explain Astral Projection. This blue figure really goes into depth about different ways, sources, findings on how to Astral Project. The difference between lucid dreaming and astral project. I feel it's a lot more productive to watch someone teach you, than to read about it in an article with hundreds of words. He makes spirituality and science so much fun! I also used videos of meditation, thought forms, and chakras from him.
"Interdependence." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 28 May 2013. Web. Jan. 2013.This source, not being the MOST reliable did set off a foundation of what I would be working with. Spirituality is not about the connection outside of the body, and looking out of yourself. It's not even about just YOU. It's about looking deeper INTO yourself, and connecting with the people around you. The world isn't a selfish, to yourself community. But an interdependent society that needs each other spiritually to go on intelligently. To begin this project, I needed some sort of foundation on what I believed interdependence is. Either way, the quotes and sources that even came from this one source really gave me some grave insight.

Sullivan, John. "A Look At The 7 Chakras." 7chakras. FactStaff.elon.edu, 15 Aug. 2003. Web. 0 Jan. 2013.This source was a HUGE help to me knowing how to define Chakras. I already was very knowledge on Chakras and their duties. But how would I have explained it? It's more a feeling than an explanation. I love this way this man explained each Chakras ability, it's number, where to find it, and how to heal it. I used this source in my project as MY topic of speaking and how I benefit from healthy, well balanced chakras. It's hard to balance a Chakra. But it's only as hard as you allow it to be. I love simple definitions.
LaBate, Anette. "What Is Reiki Healing?" Reiki Spiritual Healing. Healingwithinu.org, n.d. Web. Jan. 2013.This site is not an article, but a website for services. I found this helpful because of the experience this woman provides for people. I used her knowledge in her pieces of blog and her explanation of healing with Reiki. I have had Reiki done to me before and I loved it. It was amazing and I felt everyone should have their own room for their own experience. I actually wanted this woman to speak at my exhibit, but she lived too far away and I ended up finding someone just as amazing! I didn't personally need much research on Reiki, because my teacher that I hired did it all, BUT, I did need to have an idea of how it was done and the things needed to measure Energy. For example I learned through her crystals and spinning a windmill with your hands through energy. Not through motions. It was magical! Just some things I'll be presenting.
The picture is just other of my project, I didn't physically make an object, so I just have a powerpoint I'll be presenting.

Click here to view Process Paper.After my long years here at SLA, I am most proud of my leadership in volleyball. In the beginning of 10th grade I tried out for the volleyball team. It was like I had a natural talent to play. From that day on I fell in love with the sport. Soon after I became a starter. For 11th grade, Coach Hirschfield asked me to be captain. It was definitely an honor to be chosen. However I knew there was a lot of responsibility that came along with being captain. I did my best for my team and it showed. Hirschfield then made me captain the next year too as well. I was given the responsibility to call incoming freshman, run practices, send emails and etc. Although I am very sad that my last volleyball season is over, moving up to the top division definitely made it worth it. Jokingly, my teammates would play around and say, “I don’t know what we’re going to do without you being captain next year.” I thought about that statement and agreed. No one will be able to feel my shoes next year. However, I came up with a plan to help the volleyball team next year, without being there physically. That’s where my capstone comes in. My capstone is to create a manual for girls interested in playing high school volleyball. The manual consists of important information, exercises, and etc. Hopefully the manual I create will be used throughout the years to come.
