I have created this web site as a way to display my projects for HUM 7 @ SRJC CA. I hope you enjoy all that I do and display. I am a single mother and my four year old son is the center of my life. I am currently working toward an AS in Diesel Equipment Technology and am working part-time at the SRJC Shone farm maintaning their equipment. I am also an active member of the JC Concert Choir, and will be singing at a Fundraiser for the Rohnert Park/Cotati School district later this month. (if you have any question regaurding the fundraiser i.e time, place, price of tickets, please contact me.)

Humanities- those branches of the knowledge, such as philosophy, literature, art, and theater concerned with the human thought and culture; the liberal arts

History- a narrative of events; a story 2. a chronological record of events, as of the life or development of a people or institution, often including an explanation of or commentary of those events

Art- the conscious production or arrangement of sounds, color, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that effects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.

Literature- the body of works of a language, period, or culture. 2. imaginative or creative writing, especially of the recognized artistic value.

Society- the totality of social relationships among humans.

Culture- the totality of socially transmitted behavior, patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.

Socioeconomics- of or involving both social and economic factor

Film- a movie 2. a thin sheet or strip of developed photographic negatives or transparencies

Each of these terms is connected to each other in some way. For example history is often associated with the literature of the time period and also depicted in art. Many of these words use the others to explain their meanings. In a broader sense, each of these terms is part of the study of humanities as I have defined it here. All of these words are listed in the definition of humanities, and to me, make up the bases of learning about any culture, place, time period, or the whole of society it’s self.
