Death Will Catch Us all Someday: Crisis in the World

I took this picture and I really wanted to do something with it. This is a rough idea that ties into the blog themes. Feed back would be great! As well as artistic posts that relate.

Enlightened Global Citizenship?

As you may or may not know, this blog was designed as a class project for my WRTC class at James Madison University. WRTC is the school of Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. On one of the first days of class my professor, Dr. Burton, asked us to read the school's mission statement and write about what we thought its true meaning was. The mission statement read as follows,
The School of Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication is a community committed to preparing its students -- both writers and technical and scientific communicators -- for lives of enlightened, global citizenship.

--WRTC Mission Statement

Here is a quote from the writing I did on that first day, "I think the importance of any art form, writing, rhetoric, and TC included should be to strive to enlighten those that come in contact with it and to also help the artist/writer to progress on the path to enlightenment." 

This is the basic idea behind this blog, to advance the mission statement of WRTC, but especially to create a community of enlightened global citizens. Hopefully I can get some WRTC faculty's opinions on the meaning of this mission statement. Any thoughts?
