Groups and Focusing

So march break took me down south and I was like great no school work and i get to relax but nope! i had to read about Tiananmen Square and i thought greatttttt (note the very obvious sarcasm) So I read the book and it really opened my eyes that an event is more complicated than anything in history because there is not one motivation or one cause, the history of the world and its people lead up to this single moment. My book looked in-depth into how an event is so intwined and Tiananmen square is just the example to prove that point. I really for some reason never thought that ever aspect of a society has to affect the event. Even though the event was huge, it could have been a mimimal event and still would have had to have every aspect of the society change it. In class when we all got back we really had to figure out where the hell we were as a group and it was quite evident that none of us, including all the groups, we all did not know how to narrow down. Finding out which information was useful and what was not was so drawn out but it really showed me how in an event "noise" as i like to call it can take up space. Eliminating those useless things left us with very little or extremely narrow information. It scared me because i worried how i could branch off from those pieces and articles or if i was going to branch off too much. I SHOULD NOT BE THIS WORRIED ABOUT THIS. but i am. Anyways, I felt alot better thursday because I felt like once we reevaluated, we all were all the same page which was what we really needed. I need to breathe. I just dont want to go off course or be to specific. The horror!!
