Engineering: I am a producer for this project, and it's been all about organization this week. I've learned to look at plans with both a holistic and detail oriented eye. A holistic eye because I have had to look at my project and figure out what specialists I need and organize a schedule and budget - and work hard not to forget to think about every little piece. But this has also been a detail oriented process because I have had to take into account every moving piece in the puzzle that is my VR. I have had to think really hard about how my VR will actually run and what I need from each specialist. It's been challenging to figure out exactly how many specialists and how much time I need to give them for each task because I don't know how tedious, say, 3D-Modeling a desk, will actually be. I was really pleased though to hear people talking about how excited they are to help me with my VR project: a happy team makes for a better product. Next week I'd like to establish a solid production team and begin working on all of the different aspects since they can be worked on simultaneously.
English: This week we studied propaganda and doublespeak and it was very eye-opening for me. I've always known these two manipulation techniques existed, but I never realized how subtle they can be, how often they occur, and how dangerous they are. I realized this week how deceiving our world is, and how careful we need to be, and now I wonder - how much has this deception affected my life without me even knowing it? Why is doublespeak legal? In the case with the resource park in Kansas, the government straight up deceived the public and was only caught because one man decided to actually ask what a "resource park" was. By asking he shed light on the fact the government was proposing to put a dump in his neighborhood. This just showcases how deceiving doublespeak is and how untruthful and unlawful it is. Why has doublespeak become the norm?
