A House is Not a Home

 
This video is the final product of the second mid term in ENGL 212 — a video challenging a modern-day dogma. I chose to challenge credit. This section of the class was meant to reflect the ideas of the Enlightenment.

In my Rhetoric and Civilization class yesterday, my buddy Jerrick told me that I was thinking too narrowly about my topic for our current project: credit. I had considered this before – the title of my previous blog post for the class was actually meant for content more relevant to a broader and different modern-day dogma — but I was nervous to step away from a dogma I felt comfortable confronting to face one that I wasn’t sure how to handle. 

I remembered looking for images of wants vs. needs and coming across several worksheets meant for children. One in particular caught my attention. Most of them had a picture of a house labeled “house”. This worksheet labeled the house as “shelter (home)”. This label was the inspiration for my video and for this post. Because a house is not a home.
