How does the dehumanization and loss of individuality in a utopian society give allusions to the American views of the Cold War-era Soviet Union?
To be perfectly honest, after searching through the inter webs, I could not find a, in my opinion, apt enough question. So naturally I "found" one by using ingenuity. To go about answering the question by addressing the common use of propaganda by both factions following up with the concept of how everything is considered equal and serves everything equally. Then I would explain how the percived caste differential still exists despite the supposed unity.

Im here
So far I've been using collaboration to further expand my knowledge and understanding of the subject matter we are currently learning in class. It also makes the entire academic process more enjoyable. To fit it into my senior project, the way our class is currently collaborating is relieving the stress of other classes by creating an external port for anxiety and stress all in a productive setting. The dynamic rest of collaborative learning is very nice. It's relaxing with the perks of productivity.

Greetings from the Interdiciplinary
My idea of finding how to have fun directly relates to my academic, social, and personal life. Fun, as people call it, can be summed up with a feeling of content or pleasure by the release of a myriad of different hormones through the body. Most of these signals reduce stress, and allow you to unwind making your thought process clearer and more malleable to information you have to take in. So as well as increasing the potential to learn, fun activities allow the body to mitigate unnecessary stress and therefore lowers heart related issues that are directly linked to stress. Fun is more than a weekend ideal, it is something you should take with you wherever you go to make educated choices, and lead a healthy social life. Also it is directly interdisciplinary with biochemistry.

hafta wanna
Honestly, the only thing that will likely change for me is the obligations and expectations people have of me. I will eventually conform to a higher level of responsibility, however my mind is set in its own habits and will be until new habits will form. To paraphrase, I will most likely begin to change when circumstances arise forcing me to. I enjoy my niche, but to put on my work suit, I have to batten down the hatches as it were and put work far before anything else. I will always have time for fun,I just need motivation to actually carry it out!

Launch/Draft
1. To be honest, the thing I am most passionate about is a mystery to me. I guess I just enjoy finding what I love most of all. I find being a smart ass is enjoyable, but I haven't found anything that makes me truly content yet.
2. The internet is a great tool for proxy experience in a variety of fields. After ample amounts of data and judgement I can thusly decide if I want to pursue it or not.
3. Live life to the fullest. Regrets brew from paths not traveled for me. Honestly the only thing to regret is regret itself. Living life to the fullest and experiencing life will be the most fun.
4. Social media will be evidence of my actions. Every time I have the opportunity I can take pictures and post them as a diploma for my endeavors. My activity will be a testament to my work ethic and activity.
5. When I get the motivation or caffeine to do it I'll carry it out. Usually I convince myself of a lack of time being apparent, which isn't necessarily false, and use it a s an excuse for being static.
6. I hope to involve some of my colleagues to participate. Its mostly about having fun and living life to the fullest, so cooperation is key!
-Ive never really put deep thought into what i want to do, so i honestly believe this would be the best thing for me to do.
