Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist George-Login

It spun in dancing beams,
The air thick with paper.
I wrote my Geist onto breathless thought,
The moment lingering.
Reaching into darkness my finger slipped,
Uncertainty wrapped around it.
Yet I wish it lasted forever.

Elegance is it's name,
kindness it's mantra.
Venus marbled their skin,
I admired art at last.
Gaia's natural masterpiece,
A magnum opus of humanity.

Dexterous passion splashed before me,
I painted my own art.
Planning my landscape.
Choosing it's aura.
And she chose her own.

Haikus of least importance,
somehow lasted through my memories
With prints I left upon her canvas,
Each Touch A New Color.

Pastels were not mine,
Burgundy retribution was,
a fire that burned for me.

If only it would just last,
Please, forever?

If only it would.

A persuasive speech on the Good of Man

George L. Settlemier March 8th, 2023 Persuasive Outline General Purpose: A Persuasive speech about good and evil, the duality of man, and the psychology of nature vs nurture. Specific Purpose: To argue that people are born inherently good, immoral things are a choice, and bad things are learned from our environments. Introduction : Your security and stability is second nature, selfishness that we have adapted to learn and survive. We are naturally concerned with our own needs and desires. But there's evidence in philosophy and science that tells us much more. That we are not only concerned with our own selfish needs but the good welfare of everyone around us. We are naturally empathetic by nature, and LEARN the bad from which we know to be right.  Defining good vs. bad in moral standards is like grasping the oxygen around you. You know it’s there, its meaning, and while you may not see it, somehow breathing becomes natural. A 16th-century philosopher named Thomas Hobbes, says in Le...

An Introduction Speech

 George L. Settlemier  Professor Paul Evans  COMM 111  February 5th, 2023  General Purpose: Informative Speech  Specific Purpose: An introduction to who I am for my peers.  Central Idea: Who I am is a blend of my past, present and hopes for the future.  Introduction: I stand before you today with reflections on myself. Who am I? I am a piece of a family, a history I hold dear. I am a student on the cusp of grasping everything I need for success. I am a scholar, a connoisseur of the arts, one who cherishes every word they read.  1. My name is a family name, passed down from father to son since as early as 1631, maybe earlier but who knows.  a) George - Meaning “Earth Worker” in Greek and latin.

To farm, to work, to thrive in peace.  b) In his research about the Zettelmeier settlers, Harry E Wilson states that the land they first...
