blog 3 cultural artifact


Describing my cultural artifact is not something as easy to do. My cultural artifact is something that all athletes could use or relate to. ESPN coverage is something that can determine to be special. His shows athletes emotions out or proportion when then can and when the can’t control there emotions. This could change the public view on your for the better or for the worst. I think if an athlete can’t control his emotions he should not be able to be the athlete he is today, because an athlete attitude can’t be bad or aggressive all the time because you have to interact with the rest of the world. This emotion is a very support role in your style of play. For instance Jordan and Hamilton went at it in basketball and Hamilton was up twelve to four in points on Jordan. By the end of the game Jordan had forty-four points and Hamilton ended with sixteen. Jordan played with so much emotion and his style of play change this was when Hamilton was a rookie. He let his teammates get the best of him and once again his emotions got roused up and go the best of him ad he opened his mouth. Jordan told the rookie’ Don’t play with black Jesus like that’. This famous quote from Jordan shows him opponents that he wasn’t meant to be played with. I only could imagine how the greatest in the game could allow his emotions to get the best of him. The vivid description about ESPN coverage is something that cant be explained.  There really isn’t a way to show description about this artifact.

Becoming batman was is something special and shows you can’t under estimate anyone. There is some extra ordinary things that happen to this man is unbelievable. I only could imagine what this would be history in our culture. This extra ordinary man techenally can see but he is blind hints the name batman. He ticks everywhere to see what is around him and what is in his way and what things are coming close to him. At the age of seven he has jumped his neighbors fence and his mother let him keep going and I think this is the only way that he succeeded in life. If his mom had said no there wouldn’t be away for him to do the things that he has done in his life right now. He can lead in camping trips and is a better tracker than most people that can see. A blind man being able to walk across the street into moving traffic is a theory that I would have never thought of. This relates to our project by him being a group that we could interview or ask him what does it look like when he opens his eyes or other questions.
            On the camping podcast there where interesting things but my favorite was when he said he had a dead baby in his hand from saying bloody marry fifty times in a row and holding your arms like your holding a baby. This podcast shows how to little children could survive on there own and how they could be there self. In this podcast the children love summer camp and it is all the talk about with their friends. I only wish when we was kids we did activates like this.

            I think this was set up in this way because there are something’s that we give up on and these to podcast show us that we don’t have to ever give up.  If a blind man could do it anyone could. I mean at least you can see he cant even do that.

My project is something special, I want to do it on something unique. I have few ideas that might do me some good on my project but some are just silly. In my head there are a lot of crazy funny or just special ideas. I have thought about using a basketball player on he team. I think something are just different from a stand point, from a different sport that I don’t really have that much experience in. I only made to choice to choose this is because this is something I think the world needs to know. I have many questions that I will have to look up a record the answer that I have because I don’t think the world is ready for something such as this yet. Getting ready for this project will be a struggle, but asking someone to do something that sounds weird first off is the only hard part.

Assignment 2 part 2


My critical Question is, Could you play sports without fear or anger? I chose this prompt because I love sports and I think I can really relate to this. In my tine playing all kind of of sports I seen it all so far. They’re where many people that weren’t playing with anger or fear. Anger some times increases your power and strength sometimes but most times you have to release your anger and play with passion and have fun. This question personally relates to me because I played with anger I’ve ever played with fear , fear is something that I never played with. Playing with fear can mess you up thinking about the person that your are scared of instead of what your actually suppose to be doing. Yeah you might get nervous at times and you may get scared or have fear some times but you can never showed it or your opponent will use it against you. So that’s why I had a personal experience with this question and I’m trying to personally help you with it. This question is kind of sort of relative to the normal society every day. JUST think about the things that go one every day and see if you can do any thing with out emotions. Most things in life are involved with emotions. Some of the most common emotions are fear and angry. To just walk around and be angry all the time you will regret most of the things you do ad because you can’t control what you say most times. Another reason you can’t walk around angry all the time is you can not enjoy the greatest things in life if you do them angry because all you will remember is the angry and the built up hatred of what you are doing. So yeah some times this question can relate to society in ways, but in some ways this really doesn’t relate at all. Just really think for a second every day do not play sports and they would think this question may be stupid or not relevant to them.  But the community I love in right now relates because I live in a football community. And sports are basically all there is and playing with angry can help you win and lose but playing with fear most ties will result in a lost. So this is what I think about my community and about the everyday world. This can be discussed three different, One way is what do coaches think about this question? What do normally people think about this question? And what do you s a person think about it? I want to ask you what kind of questions would you ask in my position. There are a lot of things that I would like to know about this question and others opinions but there are some things that we as people have to learn on our own.
