My Future Role- What I Do Now After The Cluster

"Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful..." John Dewey


Dr. Tomlinson asked students to consider where we go from here as we close out the Soc 109/Mass Comm cluster. We took a few moments to write out what role we see ourselves playing as we move beyond the class. Here's what I wrote out in those final moments in the classroom:

I chose to live by example when it comes to treating people as I want to be treated. I will respect the dignity of the individual and appreciate the experiences and perspectives offered. By living the example I become a better teacher, parent and citizen thanks to the ongoing discovery born out of the interactions I have with others. This discovery also brings a diversity and richeness that fosters a range of relationships and communities. This discovery allows me to reinvent, update and broaden who I am as well as the pictures in my head. I recognize this is an ongoing human process requiring us to come together as we make the construction of meaning which is constant and fluid.
