Blog Post 1: Complete this mindfulness exercise before you do your reading / other homework / draw a bird. Then, consider: Think more specifically about your ability to focus, pay attention, and complete tasks that rely on your ability to concentrate on something intellectual or creative: what attitude, emotion, or posture do you usually enter into these sort of tasks with? How do you usually set yourself up for success or failure when trying to learn something, complete something, or read something? What provides your most frequent source of distraction when trying to focus? How does your phone or personal technology play a role in achieving or detracting from your academic or creative goals? Did the mindfulness exercise do anything for you? Blog Post 2: Blog Post: In your opinion and experience, what role do smartphones play in the mental, emotional, and social health of teenagers? Do you believe they exacerbate or ameliorate the stressors or anxieties that constitute being a teenager today? How would you define your relationship to your phone, and would a "smartphone detox" feel beneficial to you in any way?

Due for Thurs 02/15 01/26 for everyone who is not leading the class Read the following articles: 1. Vox - Shitty Media Men (2018) 2. The Cut - ¿Has Visto la Lista? (2021) 3. NYT - The Case that Killed #MeToo in Sweden (2022) Blog Post 1: Is “it was different back then” or "it's a different culture" a strong or reasonable excuse for men who have been accused of sexual harassment taking place decades ago? If something like inappropriate touching or inappropriate comments felt commonplace and “appropriate” 30 years ago, should we condemn those who committed those acts today? Can you think of any instance or example of something that you would consider excusable because "it was different back then?" Does it matter if the behavior takes place in the workplace or in general society? Blog Post 2: How should we understand and implement the ideals of "innocent until proven guilty" and "due process" when it comes to matters of sexual assault or harassment? What compulsion or considerations do companies, institutions, or society/public opinion have regarding individuals accused of something difficult to prove or disprove? If an individual is fired for allegations of sexual harassment, should he/she/they be hired back if these allegations cannot be proven? Can someone be denied of a job or of a promotion or of a position for allegations that are near-impossible to prove? |
