Blog Reflection Assignment

1. Emotion and memory are co-dependent on one another. A person's memory might be triggered by a certain and sudden emotion or an emotion may be in result of a remembered memory. Emotion can almost always associate with memory, even in the case of not being able to remember something, the emotion of frustration or absence is present. For example, an emotion can be brought to your senses when you remember a special event like going to the concert of your favorite band. The memory can make you happy or sad. An example for memory brought on by an emotion is feeling sadness and remembering all the other times you were sad and why. 

2. High reason is the ability to make decisions without letting emotion get in the way. The somatic hypothesis is that when we are faced with decision making that involves a lot of reasoning and hard-core thinking, our emotions take over because we want to choose the best option for ourselves. The way that I go about doing this is that I don't think too much about doing them. If I don't want to do something then I won't do it and If i want to do something I'll do it and not think too much about the consequences. I guess my way of thinking is strongly based on emotion maybe? Since I go about doing homework and planning things when it's convenient for me and not when it's the best overall time to do them.

Languages

1. Name the country, language chosen & current status of that language
2. Briefly research & summarize the people and culture of this language; citation as needed [give at least the source link so the quality may be evaluated]
3. Describe & evaluate some evidence (e.g., historical, cultural, aesthetic) that you feel supports efforts to save the language. Give one link to evidence you find.
4. Upload one image that reflects the language and culture; include or write a caption

1. Australia, Dhargari, 8a (Moribund) nearly extinct

2. I couldn't find anything about the culture of the people that speak the language but I found this book. http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/asp/aspbooks/languageculture.html

3.Well since I can't find anything about the language I don't really know what to say here. I think that it should be saved because only 6 people speak it. In my opinion every language holds and connects to culture so if it dies, a lot of culture will die with it. I already have a hard time finding anything about the language pertaining to its culture but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be saved as a language. 

4.  this is a picture of Australia since I couldn't find anything that really depicts Dhargari. Dhargari is an Australian language.

2. The symbol stands for moving forward, progress, competition, past present and future. The meaning can differentate based on the person. The three spirals are meant to represent some form of equality. 

3. The symbol is abiguous because it has more than one interpretation. Especially since it spanned from different cultures and has developed overall through time. The main meaning is equality, such as past present and future, but it can be interpreted in several other ways.
