BSU Talent Show Feb. 16

I attended the BSU Talent show. It's aim was to bring awareness to what is going on in Darfur. I think this is one of the best ways to bring awareness to something like this. Getting people together to share talent, memories and laughs. A rotation of speakers would go up in between acts and give information about the history, current events, and what can be done about the situation in Darfur. There were so many people there for a Friday night... and I thought it was great that people could come together and be able to talk about issues that are going on in the world. With all our technology and media, I'm really happy to see them utilized concern for the well being of other human beings as a reason to get together. Our society can sometimes seem very anti-social and there is a popular trend to use robots to do what was previously done by other people i.e. Wal-Mart self check out, Arby's has a self order touch screen in some locations. I think the value of interpersonal communication is super important, and can be taught in schools by creating mock situations and making students think outside the box to solve these global problems. This is how the BSU Talent show connected with our social Luther bubble and sociology, and in turn relating to the skill I want to use as a teacher.
