Is there a truth in this class? In life?

Basically our conversations of Text in classes boiled down to What is Truth? Weird. Presuming there is a truth...rather, if there is such a thing as Truth, then what would it be like? Dr. Rickly and I went back and forth on this topic. I was holding fast to truth claims and she was (as usual) playing her favorite role, Devil's advocate. Of course she believes in Truth. Ask her. She was only speculating the possibility of an ideal relativist world-view.

I somewhat understand the philosophy of idealic relativism and even rationalism, however, that is all they are, idealic. The actual existence of these world-views cannot exist. Rationalism ends with the lead of faith in proving one's own reality. Relativism is destroyed in claiming the 'absolute truth' that "EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE."

All in all, the text (or Truths) Do exist in our class. Its existence is revealed in our ability to a simultaneously understand Dr. Rickly. She speaks words, and we coherently can interpret them, store them, and repeat them.

Update on Project

Today our group attempted to start and finish our film. This did not happen. We successfully started, however finishing seems just as far as before. I've learned two things thus far through this project (alliteration; 5 points!).

Playing in the MULL = fun.
Choosing appropriate music for the background of our film = difficult.

We've had three topics now. We started off fooling around with Jobs After College. Quickly, we switched to On-campus Parking, you all remember. We announced this topic and were met by awkward stares and scolding by Dr. Ohio State. We took it as motivation to blow your minds. We ended up changing topics (for personal reasons, not because of you), but because the needed research was too fierce in such little time. Finally, we arrived at our current brain-child: Death to Books, Digital Life.

I wait now for 3 comments from 3 group members who don't like this title. BEFORE YOU SEND THEM*** Note: This is the first title to exit my brain, not our final title, or even one I like...whew, close one!

Our project is concerned with the end of the physical book age, where research is a long and dreadful task, and the start of digital research. In a quick poll of COMMON SENSE, all must agree students rarely head to the stacks, rather search within databases for "full-text" article. Articles that are Not "full-text" (accessible for students from their current computer) do not stand a chance nowadays. This project does not go into depths as to 'why?' or 'is this an ok thing?' however sheds light on the running slaughter of Card-catalogues to digital-research databases.

If this is not right, I'm sure I will be corrected shortly by my colleages (sp?).
