Task

Step 1 - What images represent aspects of your daily life?  This can include a view that you might see when you look outside your window in the morning, a preferred grocery story, restaurant or coffee shop, the location of hobbies you may enjoy, or supplies/equipment/material that you may use as part of a creative or athletic activity. This could also include some of the important people in your life including friends or family members.

 

Capture 3 different images and post them in our gallery. To have it posted in your blog, copy the image url in gallery and use the blog image edit button to include the image to the blog. Include a description on how the images represent your daily life.   

 

 

Step 2 - What images or symbols represent your worldview? If you reflect back on your childhood and your ancestors, what aspects of your identity have the greatest influence on your sense of self?  Are there particular cultural, religious, political, social or environmental factors that have had an impact on who you are or who you aspire to be.   How do you relate to past generations?  Are there places you have been to or people you have met that have defined your understanding of the world?
