The value of public service

The organization that I evaluated was the Mariners Inn. The purpose of the organization is to assist men who are recovering sustance abusers. The current project that we are working on is to reproduce the likilness of President Obama in dominos because it brings social interaction with members who have previously had issues with social interaction. This project teaches the members how to work together while building their self confidence.

Moe's Photo Shoot

I was very glad to do a photo shoot with Moe this past Saturday and I was able to see some of his work. I felt great pride seeing his work know his past as a recovery addict. I also think he has a crush on Tonya because he made her a special gift and she was blushing and showing everyone. How do feel when you have the opportunity to view work that others have created when you know that they have had a less than favorable past?

Connections with Peers

It is very important to connect with your peers because you have to learn to work in teams. Recently we had our first experience with working with the residents at the Mariners Inn and I found it very rewarding. I found that most of the residents displayed a sense of pride and satisfaction when completing their President Obama project. They also had very good input regarding how working as a team will help get the project done in a better than individually. What are your views of working as a team? Do you feel that working together is useful in order to get a variety of input?

Natural Born Leader

When visiting the Mariners Inn it was very refreshing to see that the staff empowers its employees to take ownership of the facilities and themselves in the recovery of the social system in the United States. It was nice to see that Moe had taken steps to get his life in order and encouraged others in the facility to step up and do more for themselves. Moe did this using an artist view and hopes that the others will find something to encourage them to take the necessary steps to better their lives. How do you feel about giving a person a second chance?

Causes and Concerns

When writing your business plan one of the most important features or aspect of the plan it to make sure you research the featured organization and have knowledge of the cause that you are writing about. It is an injustice if you make a false business plan that doesn't apply to the real world. If your plan is false or fictitious you have just done a injustice to the organization that you were working for. How do you feel about this, should we do a real plan or do you feel that you can gain information from a fictitious plan?

Modernism

Who does modernism serve first? Is it the people who defend abstraction or the detractors who believe that Art must serve some type of useful purpose that is required by society? I believe that the perception of modernist Art is govern by the action we perceive and not on the idea that come from learned experiences found in the marketplace. What are your views on this???
