Final Reflection

The semester is over and also this course. In this subject I have learn some facts about different topics, I have experimented experiences that I have never had and also I have had some kind of fun. I consider this course and the subject were really helpful to me, we have discussed topics of which I have knew jus a little. The class has been really entertaining, some times more than others and my roommates and the teacher were people I liked to know. I like the class and almost all the activities we have done, for example the video calls with people of other countries nit only in the classroom but also by our own. It has been a good class where I can know people, get knowledge of some topics that aren't always discussed in some places, but the most important thing: I can improve and practice my English skills. That I would be the missy important reason of why I like these subject.

Spirituality Collage

With the opinion of all the members of the team we chose "Spirituality". It is a topic that have a lot of  material to work on but not everybody wants to because it also can fell into religious problems.

We chose the Taj Mahal because we consider that this is one of the greatest representations of spirituality that it is not catholic. It is a magnificent construction and a huge architectural work for those who still have hindi beliefs.

We also pick a poem of Emily Dickinson for spirituality literature because her work is a big representation of what spirituality means.

We chose a Chinese performance as performing arts in spirituality because the Chinese culture is characterized for being in peace and meditate to keep calm your spirit and there is a company called Shen Yun which is also known as divine performing arts and they perform classical Chinese dances, ethnic and folk dance.

For spiritual music we chose the Gregorian chants because they are sacred songs for the Roman Catholic Church and all religions involve spirituality.

The image of the movie "The Passion of the Christ" is about spirituality because it covers topics such as religion, and staying true about what you believe and what makes you feel mind fullness despite what others may think or do to avoid it.

We choose a paint by Danny O' Connor because his paintings are inspired by real cases of people who had many troubles and they needed to overcome them; and silk ritualize is to a persons individual growth and how do people manage to mature in life. Also we choose that photography because in the Indian culture, the lotus flowers means purity, knowledge, learning, fruitfulness and illumination; and spirituality involves many aspects of that meaning because spirituality is to know your environment and your world.

We chose The Archangel Michael, one of only three angels that are named in the Bible because e are told that he is a mighty warrior and leader of other angels.

Reflection

With this project I have the opportunity to understand and learn about practices of people of an other religion, in this case the Jehova's Witnesses. It was really helpful because I did not knew much information of this religion. For example I didn't knew that they read a bibile similar to the one that catholics use. It was really interesting to look for their practices and what they think about life, past and future.
