The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.
-Jonathan Harnisch
ContextualizationMy inspiration for my last first project came from my recent high prioritization for self care. I am a strong believer that a healthy lifestyle starts with our mindset and energy. When we feel good, good things happen. I've been investing more into my hygiene and began exploring to find my natural scent. I was perplexed by my newest perfume and its ingredients. This activated a light bulb of creativity in my mind and I let it flow.

PerspectiveFrom the time we are infants, we grow to develop and identify our own perspectives on each aspect of life. It's what makes us unique. We also tend to clique with those who align with our perspectives. A common issue in today's society is that we often overlook the perspectives of those who contradict us. For example, the idea of heroes and villains. Although most science fiction films lead us to side with the hero, I have always felt myself drawn to the villains. I craved to know more about them and what made them this way. And that is just what I uncovered with this project.

ReasoningLooking into the topic of reasoning, I began to brainstorm topics that are controversial and further develop possible questions I would like to answer. I came across the the clash of faith and medicine that we are facing in society today. When a person's faith conflicts with their doctor's medical advice, the road to recovery may become more difficult to navigate. Faith also has lead many Americans to have a prejudice or even refuse life-saving medical treatments. With this project I forced myself to pick a side and analyzed both contradicting aspects of reasoning.
