I was intrigued by our in-class activity when we walked around campus and had to define our relationship to the space and certain things that shaped how we moved around our space. I would like to focus on that for my essay, but try to tie in a quote that I've also been intrigued by since one of the first readings. I put this quote in one of my previous blog posts, and it's from German Ideology. It says "life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life", and I'd like to dive deeper into that and look at our everyday actions (walking around campus, the paths we take, moving through our everyday routines) and try to include a conscious vs. unconscious aspect to that.
Another idea is about work and leisure. I think you could explore a lot on this topic and find a lot of things to say about it like what work and leisure is to someone vs. someone else, can work actually be considered leisure based on your lifestyle, etc.
That would be a very interesting thing to look into. The fact that something is any "everyday" event until we consciously think about it in the moment. It then seems to become out of the ordinary and more of a special event. This would make a great essay topic.
