Fog of War
This documentary did a nice job educating us about Robert McNamara and his experiences largely during his time as Secretary of Defense, also touching on moments throughout much of his life. The documentary is centered around “eleven lessons,” each being … Continue reading

The State
As we have all come to understand, there are many things that are hard to define, especially when an answer is searched for. We encountered this in our previous readings when trying to define place. It seems like a rather … Continue reading
Place
The word “place” is used as part of every day speech by just about everyone. Despite this fact, we never really give any thought as to what it really means when we use it. This is expected with the average … Continue reading
