look at this !

"Allowing students
sufficient scope for personal expression places them in the position of homo faber."

this is taken directly from the IB Personal Project information booklet, and i really like this sentence coz its what im doing and i just fully realised

:D

justification of bits within paragraphs

to do this, i must refer back to how the process of what im talkin about was established, and then confirm by bringing up the psychological aspect to justify my point within the appropriate context

Conclusion REVERSI note

blah blah soviet censorship, moulding artificial society..... another aspect, --> modern society (mostly western world) has an overdrive of potentially sensitive material that the aspect of censorship disappears entirely, and therefore, makes it harder to conclude truths and evaluate things because there is too much info out there to be able to judge what is right and wrong, corrupt and not, fake and real, strange or normal.

Side Note --> Shaiyan [SC] booster

"analysis" of how censorship affects the social environment in USSR

Precision Testing

Sub headings will be added for specific points of interest within the heading of a full section once the content is finished.

Sitting on Gold

It seems I will have to expand the length of product to accommodate the necesseties.

The reflection length will remain unchanged and the requirements will be satisfied none the less.

Saturday 16 January 2010

Trying not to kill myself.

I am modifying the list of contents. Some aspects belong to another title, so I am shortening the list. If I am to keep them, I will get confused as to what to write in that section, so the information will be stated in the area it belongs in as soon as its cue arises. Therefore the list you see here and the one in the final product will differ, do not be alarmed.

Guiding Question

This is the underlined point that sits behind all my typing,

" How did all this censorship in the Union frame the mind of the average Soviet citizen ? "

1 + 1

The total for a research product in combination with the reflective essay.

Therefore, as 2 separate pieces, the product will be approx 2000 wrds and reflection approx 2000 wrds.

" How All Occassions Do Rise Against Me "

just learnt that almost all of the week after the product is due, to write the reflections, is taken up by the knowledge bowl CEESA tournament....
Quite simply, this sucks.
Nick and myself will have to be typing for hours into the night AFTER the tournaments each and every day.

On the Road to Victory

I am so glad that the project is coming together ! :)

It is now in the stage of writing up all the information into its full body in proper format. Only continuous work can satisfy the project's needs right now. And thats what is happening. This is the only aspect I must focus on right now, as it is the most urgent and immediate task on the list.

So I'm writing - writing -writing - .
