Hello!
As of Thursday, I completed the first half of my third year essays, and simply only have three exams, four essays and a dissertation left to go. Instantly I began finishing my editing for the Anna Let's Play videos and I will be honest, I already understand the mistakes I made when filming and editing it, so I know where to improve in the future. For now though, I'm hoping you'll enjoy them as much as possible in all their dull glory when they come out in a few days time.
As far as my dissertation goes, I'm finishing off the plan over Christmas where I have to think of loads of examples because about 70% of it comes down to me explaining examples. My lecturer, John, however seems to be interested in my essay and after telling me I'm exceptionally clever, admitted mine could be the one given to the external invigilator - he clearly has more faith in me than I do... No pressure then.
With regards to subject matter, my dissertation is a moral language essay, playing Old Harry with the fact / value distinction so if you want to help with that, you can!
I need examples of the following things:
- A Simple Fact (a property of something that can be known empirically): E.g. 'Snow is white'. 'Water is wet'. 'Doors are solid'. Etc.
- An Evaluative Statement (Something that would motivate us to seek or avoid action): E.g. 'This is poison'. 'You might cut yourself'. 'Please help me!', Etc.
- A mixture of the two (something that is a fact and might motivate, particularly morally): E.g. 'Cruelty is bad'. 'Rudeness can offend'. 'Strawberries are sweet'. Etc.
As always, thanks for reading, and ciao for now!
