UWP 101: Dreaming of...
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-is-dream-oxford-english-dictionary.html
Saturday, July 26, 2008. What is a dream? Has two definitions that I believe are the main things we think of when we hear the word dream. The first definition is “a train of thoughts, images, or fancies passing through the mind during sleep.” The second definition is “an ideal or aspiration.” After reading Arlen's post. On dreams and sleep habit, I decided to focus on the first definition. No one has discussed this yet. I've seen cats and dogs have dreams, for sure.). July 27, 2008 at 7:43 PM. In respons...

UWP 101: How do we learn about the past?
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-do-we-utilize-history-for-we.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2008. How do we learn about the past? What do we utilize history for? We utilize it to help us learn from mistakes in the past. We utilize it as a way for us to make things better in the future. There are various methods by which history is passed down to us. The most interesting one that comes to mind is oral history. According to Wikipedia. Their opinion would be that the war is a pointless one with pointless casualties. The oral transmission of history can potentially cause a lot of i...

UWP 101: Wants vs. Needs
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/wants-vs-needs.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2008. Wants vs. Needs. In class yesterday, we had a lengthy discussion on the differences between wanting something and needing something. The things we think we need and the things we think we want end up in a gray zone that causes us to lose focus on the purpose of purchasing the item to begin with. Do we really need a shiny new BMW. When that trusty Honda Civic. Has been getting you from Point A to Point B safely for the past few years? I looked at the information and nearly fell out ...

UWP 101: It's not all just about race
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/its-not-all-just-about-race.html
Friday, July 11, 2008. It's not all just about race. Earlier in the week, we discussed difference and it ended up leading to a rather heated discussion about race. Race is just one of a multitude of ways by which we can be seen as being different from others. However, people can be judged differently even within race. Is a government-owned structure that leases apartments out to low-income families. Living in a government-owned apartment like that leaves people stigmatized, as they are seen as being ...

UWP 101: How long is this line?!?
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/at-recent-convention-that-i-attended.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2008. How long is this line? What, specifically, was this convention for? Without specific details, this event seems ominous and eerie. And while I like this feel, it would help your post if you gave your reader some concrete details, names, or images to process. Do you see what I mean? July 13, 2008 at 2:35 PM.

UWP 101: Good times
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-times.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. As I browsed through the various pictures I've taken, I came across this one that I forgot I had. It is a picture from my freshman year in the dorms here in Davis. This was taken on the day we were forced to leave the dorms. I lived in a suite in Thoreau Hall. In the Cuarto area. It was a four room suite that was split amongst nine people. I shared a room with two others as witnessed in the picture. There were two people in each of the remaining three rooms. This is a classic pic...

UWP 101: Reflections on UWP 101
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/reflections-on-uwp-101.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Reflections on UWP 101. As each class passed, I found myself enjoying the class more and more. It was an odd source of entertainment as some of our conversations were among the most random I have ever heard. The most entertaining for me was no doubt the conversation regarding online relationships. The best part? Student: “You can’t have sex with yourself forever! Chris: “Why not?

UWP 101: Take me out to the ballgame
http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/take-me-out-to-ballgame.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. Take me out to the ballgame. Can you hear the roar of 50,000 fans root, root, rooting for the home team? The smell of overpriced hot dogs and beer wafts around the entire stadium. For 81 games a year, the historic Yankee Stadium. Another obvious sight is the heading on the picture of "Pride, Power, Pinstripes." Players have a lot of pride putting on the pinstripe jerseys. Power can be seen in different ways. One way would be power as in home-run hitting power. The Yankees...It is...

http://dlamuwp101.blogspot.com/2008/07/do-i-really-need-this.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. Do I really need this. In a previous post. I had discussed the idea of wants and needs being blurred because of a profit-driven business. As I read through a number of blogs, I saw that many others had their own opinions on wants and needs. Peter. Believes that our inability to be satisfied with what we have forces us to constantly purchase new goods. Ashley. You state: "Relative deprivation causes us to lose sight of what we truly need and what we want." Isn't the point, rat...
