On Liberty - John Stuart Mill (1859)
“Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to
do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow
and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward
forces which make it a living thing.”
“Such are the differences among human beings in their sources of pleasure,
their susceptibilities of pain, and the operation on them of different
physical and moral agencies, that unless there is a corresponding diversity
in their modes of life, they neither obtain their fair share of
happiness, nor grow up to the mental, moral, and aesthetic stature of
which their nature is capable.”
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859)

Do you know what attracts you? (from digital ethnography
the video here: http://www.mediafire.com/?830zmb6tsdp
Attraction is an interesting topic, especially what attracts people and if they realize what exactly they are drawn to when they are attracted. Life is spilling online from off and offline from on and the way that attention is drawn to people and ideas has the potential to change.This video is the first I have created and is part of the viral video contest for my Digital Ethnography course taught by Michael Wesch at Kansas State University.
