Avoid repeating (even in different words) what you wrote about in your main discussion as part of the response to the classmate. Whether you agree or disagree with your peer's discussion, add new content to your peer's post. While you may add comments such as "I agree with you" or "Interesting findings,” that is not enough to receive a grade for the peer response. Your reaction to a peer's discussion must contain relevant content taken from the material learned in class or external sources. Case Study: Metaphysics Suppose you work for an advertisement company whose next commerical is suited to present a new generation cellular phone. The company managers have endorsed the marketing strategy of "keeping it real" because they have found that their customers really appreciate advertisements that bring out elements they consider most parallel to reality. You have been assigned to design this commercial with the stipulation of following the marketing strategy. Task One: Describe your chosen icon for the Cell Phone and explain your choice in reference to what you consider real. For instance, if you believe immaterial numbers to be the most real, describe your chosen numerical icon. On the other hand, if you believe materialism as the most real position, describe your chosen physical object as the icon. Task Two: Choose which elements of the phone to focus on that follows your chosen meatphysical theory. For instance, if you are an immaterialist who sees reality as a process like Hegel (Spirit), focus on the phone's processes or activities rather than static programs or simply numerical statistics. If you are a materialist who values physical interactions among people, then focus on the camera application by going into detail about the physical features the phone can capture. Be creative, have fun with this assignment, and try to make connections to the metaphysical theories we have covered in this chapter!
