    Notice how much time you were spending checking email outside of class or study time. What changed for you when you created space away from your inbox?

    I became less stressed when I made space away from my inbox.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    Jazmyne Obedoza 11/12/2025 6:51 PM
    I agree with Berry's assertion that life isn't just about surviving and living but its about appreciating the nature around us.

    In your opinion, how do social inequalities diminish a strong sense of community?

    Social inequalities diminish a strong sense of community because it diminishes a fair connection to others.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity
    Do people with economic privilege have a responsibility to consume and own less? How can the concept of “reduce” be presented to those who may be struggling to have enough food, clothes, shelter?

    Jazmyne Obedoza's avatar
    Jazmyne Obedoza 11/12/2025 6:34 PM
    People who are economically privileged should be responsible with consuming and owning less because they have more choices and resources to achieve this. The concept of "reduce" can be presented to those who may be struggling by helping them get enough of what they need so that we can reduce the waste in stuff.
