Sunday reading : Flipped Learning & Existentialism

Hello everyone,


Today I'm going to talk about flipped learning. This is obviously our Sunday reading task, assigned by our Prof Dr. Dilip Barad sir. So this Sunday sir gave us an interesting activity. In this task we are supposed to watch 10 short videos and after watching videos we have to write one quote from each video. We also have to ask questions from each video which we don't understand. So here I'm sharing the link to Sir's blog to understand the task, as well as to know more about flipped learning, absurdity and existentialism.

Here are my quotes and my questions regarding the videos :


Video 1




"Philosophic things in existence begin within the thinking subject namely the individual."


Video 2




"We are concern here are flights with the relationship; it's been individual thoughts and prepared within silence of heart, as is a great work of art."

-Camus


Video 3




"Reason is useless and there is nothing beyond reason in absurdity."


"Faith is the objective uncertainty with the repulsion of the absurd."


Video 4




"The absurd doesn't frighten me, because from a more elevated point of view, i consider everything in life to be absurd."


Video 5




"It is you who judge every value and choose your own meaning in life and once you are done that you should take responsibility for the choice you made and accept the consequences of that."


Video 6




"At twenty we rage against the heavens and the filth they hid, then we grow. Tired of it. The tragic attitude suits only an extended and ridiculous puberty."

-Soren Kjerkegor


Video 7




"Human, all too human"


"Religious and philological systems which offer such definitive answers to life's questions. Have been very attractive throughout history."


Video 8




"Make your own rules." 


"Do whatever you want."


Video 9




"Existential things much more straightforward than average about many aspects of life."


"Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries without them humanity cannot survive."


Video 10 




"You have to recognize your life has been given to it by you." 


"The literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself."


"If there are no guidelines for our actions, then each of us is forced to design our own moral code, to invent a morality to live by."

Video 6

According to Soren Kjerkegor Nihilism is the loss of individuality. So what does it mean ? I want to know more about it.


◆Which video do you like the most ?


I like video number five(5), nine(9), ten(10) the most. In video number five I'm very much influenced by one thought of this video is that,


It is you who judge every value and choose your own meaning in life and once you are done that you should take responsibility for the choice you made and accept the consequences of that.


Here we can see that all situations depend on our decision. Once we take the decision the outcome is also acceptable by us, it's necessary. When we judge any value and choose any meaning of life we should take responsibility for the choice which we made. Furthermore I like video number nine(9) and ten(10) most. In video number Nine there is a statement that "Do whatever you want". It also gave me confidence about my goals. Video number ten inspires me a lot. There is also one purpose behind our birth. So with the existential things we can understand what we want to do, the real meaning of our life. So in this way I like these three videos. 


◆Learning outcome from video:-


After watching all these videos the concept of existentialism is clear in my mind. Before I didn't have much idea about existentialism, but after reading and watching I got an idea about existentialism. I also understand about the absurdity. After watching all the videos I came to know that there is purpose by our birth. We are not not born to follow the path which is created and founded by others, but create our own path and rules. After all this is our process of learning. In video nine there is fine sentence that,


"Learning is a gift. Even when pain is your teacher"


We learn from our experiences. And that teaches us the best lessons of life. And existentialism also teaches us how to look over the situation with a positive response. The meaning of your life must be given by you. So this all things I learned from this concept of existentialism and absurdity. I think existentialism removes absurdity from our mind. And at last i want to tell that existentialism teach me, 


"Don't follow others, make your own rules."
