Who+am+I?

=Who am I?=

Before you can fully know and understand other people, you must first know and understand yourself. Your belief system and judgments are what you depend on to view and get to know everyone else around you. They make the judgments on whether that person is a friend or foe. If you do not know your belief system you don't know what you are using to judge other people and possibly making unreliable assessments on people that you did not intend to make. Throughout this unit we will complete activities that will help you to understand your background; genealogically, culturally, and socio-economically. This journey of self-discovery will commence with a multimedia project about you, that you will present to the class.

Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world. The producers record musicians from all over the world and mix the tracks into one beautiful song. Do you agree with their philosophy that music can transcend our differences and provide a way for us to come together?
