Stress is irrelevant. Jk.
When originally prompted to think of a topic in which I deem relevant and important enough to turn into a semester long class project I had a million and one ideas.
iTech for instance. Cheeky. Fun. Useful. However it's usefulness is one of pure functionality. Granted Tech does not necessarily have the best website, but is it really an overhaul we (ENGL 4360) are prepared to take on? Maybe. But what about doing something a little more morally upright? iTech looks pretty mundane compared to TTUFightsPlagarism.
Justin mentioned the idea of educating adolescence on the purpose and importance of education.
Someone else mentioned doing a piece on cultural diversity at Tech (or was it Lubbock).
During our brainstorming exercise I said. "I wish everyone--of legal age--would vote." Furthermore, I wish everyone who could vote would be excited about voting. It would be fun to do a 'Rock the Vote' type of campaign or documentary following adolescents and voting throughout this upcoming election year.
All of which are solid ideas. My skepticism, however, lies with Plato and his Cave Allegory. You can lead a cow to the pasture.....
