Existentialism: Flipped Learning

 Hello, readers

                       This blog is a part of Flipped Learning activity in which our task is to watch videos about Existentialism and write down whatever you understand. Here, the link of teacher's blog click here

I'm impressed by these thoughts... 

Video-1  First video is about what is existentialism in which many thinkers talked about the existentialism and Philosophical suicide meant nothingness in life and also a very good ideas about individuality, passion and freedom..

Video-2 The myth of Sysyphus: the absurd reasoning. In this video Albert Camus talked about the absurdity, life is meaningless and also there is an example of the movie 'Stay' in which we can see the existentialism that suicide is best option in this absurd life.In this Albert Camus talks about absurdity in life. We think suicide as the escapism from the absurdity of life. When we start to think about absurdity this idea of suicide comes in mind. But it is not a solution. Life is meaningless yet it is for living.

Video-3 The Notion of Philosophical suicide. This video talked about the philosophical suicide and this problem come out from A total absence of hope, A continual rejection and conscious dissatisfaction. From this method people escaped from absurd life.When we kill our self as a philosopher it is called the philosophical suicide. It comes out from human being. If there is no human being, there won’t be any desire. All requirements like a total absence of hope, a continual reflection, conscious dissatisfaction should not be confused with despair, renunciation, immature unrest.

Video-4 Dadaism and Nihilism has nothing to do with each other, there is only one similarity that both are fed up with arbitrary values of life. they do not want such values invented by others.In the Dadaism it’s primary goal is creation. There is no need to govern by the value of others. We must have to create our own values which have significance in our life. Dadaism and Nihilism both neglect the values which are imposed by other.

Video-5 Is Existentialism is gloomy philosophy? Every life is full of anxiety, despair and absurdity, but we are free to choose our own path of living. Every individual choose his/her way of life but when result is not good then they escape from this situation that is not fair practice. Existentialism is differ from Nihilism. After world war-2 People's life became miserable and full of despair. Everyone tried to find the meaning of life.Existentialist came with post war movement. At that time people were living in despair and their life was full with absurdity. Everyone is free to make their own choice and choose their own path but when the result comes in negative way. At that time also we have to be ready to face it. Being individual is not in actual sense connect with being narcissist.

Video-6 Much difference between Existentialism and Nihilism. Existentialism believe in subjectivity like individuality, nothingness, absurd life while Nihilism believe in objectivity like everything is illusion in life.

Video-7 Existentialism ask question of existence that why I am here? what is life? Divine perspective and human perspective. Human were not design by any supernatural power, existentialism see the life from religiously, scientifically and philosophically and raise question about human existence.

Video-8 Existentialism and Nietzsche: Nietzsche's Existentialism talked about that human being is everything, there is no need any supernatural power to govern life. Like God is dead so human being can make their own rules and be like superman or “Ubermensche” is a philosophy of freedom given by Friedrich Nietzsche. Humans are free to make their choice. There is no need to live life according to any supernatural power. Only we are the master of our life.

Video-9 Existentialism is a way of life and understand life deeply. Existentialism says about what I am. Eric Dodson said that it is honest and shows reality of life and accept your fault and your abilities.Existentialism is a very broad idea to understand the deeper meaning of life. Existentialism is not apply to the mind but also apply to the heart which is called existential sensibility. It means that as a mind wants to know the meaning of life heart also wants to enjoy or feel it.

Video-10 I like the idea in this video is that only we can give reason to our choice or we can say that there is no reason for choice is just a choice. There is no meaning of life but meaning is given by us to our life.

Answer-2 

Which video I like the Most and Why?

I like the video-8 "Explain like I'm five: Existentialism and Nietzsche that human being have the power of everything it means human being can make their own rules and be a superman and he/she can do whatever they want.

I like the last video. This video talks about how to live a life by making our own individual identity rather than to follow the ideas of others. From this video we can learn that to make our own path in this world is very important.

I also like video -9 rather than another because that video is help a lot in better understanding of Existentialism and there are open window for thinker some kind of new way. I have to say that Flipped learning is best way of study because it's save more time of whole person and also give more time to think. We can pause and note down during watching video rather than lecture method.

Answer-3

 Flipped learning is best to learn from anywhere, I like it most because it provides us content with appropriate pictures and signs so it would easy to understand the content. Flipped learning also very beneficial for four basic skill LSRW, through this learning we can improve our listening skill from native speaker and also we can improve our memory to remember the speakers words and note down. And also we can learn how to pronounce spells. At last, I can say that we can learn from anywhere in our time through flipped learning.

 Flipped learning indeed has its advantages, as you mentioned. The ability to pause, take notes, and revisit content at your own pace can enhance the learning experience. It also allows for a more interactive and engaged approach to studying.

The flexibility of flipped learning can cater to different learning styles and preferences, providing a more personalized learning experience. It's encouraging to see that you've found a study method that works well for you and aligns with your learning preferences.
