BELIEF AND CERTAINTY

In going through and creating the repurposing project, there were many great ideas that came about as a result of this work. As I continued to build off the product of this work, my next project was made to put these ideas in a slightly different light. With the same line of questioning that led had me to this point, I decided to change my discussion of political discourse from print to speech. This was an incredibly difficult task, but it begs the question: what's the effect of moving political discourse and argumentation from the page to rhetoric? There are certainly many different things that influence our political views, but I wanted to see them in a form where we most often view politics - verbal discourse.

 

The project listed on the following tab is a something that I see as a continuation of the repurposing project, but in a much different form. This remediation project takes the form of a podcast, as I sit down with two fellow students to talk about what determines and ultimately influences our political ideologies. A lot of the ideas that are presented here are similar to what I presented in the repurposing assignment, but many of them are not. I will allow the podcast to speak for itself, but this incredibly daunting task gave rise to some valuable insight on political dispositions and argumentation. My hope is that you will see these interviews provide yet another interesting twist to an otherwise perplexing issue.

 

Below are some of the notes that I used as a point of discussion throughout the podcast. With some questions, facts, and ideas, I was able to construct a discussion of what truly determines our political ideology and what perpetuates these underlying beliefs.
