A “Web of Interbeing” Comes Full Circle

Hanh’s Interbeing shows us how everything in the world is inter-be with everything else in the world and it relates to my responses to my classmates because without them I would not have been able to respond to the presentations because there would be no classmates to write them! Also communication is not a panacea because even with all of the communication we have been through in the past six weeks there still can be confusion that had to be cleared up in order for students to complete assignments. These two ideas are comparable because if everything is inter-be then no one thing (such as communication) can be a panacea because we would need a number of things or events to lead up to the panacea, it cannot stand alone. From day one our class has relied on the interbeing of everything anyone in the class has posted in order to get to the point we are at today. I think it is cool how I finally understand where my team pairings came from because Jimigarcia and Sports08 read and responded to Hanh’s Interbeing earlier in the class. That is just another example of one thing (teaming) was reliant on the responders to the particular article in question and how the products of the teaming (the presentations) are relied upon by the new comments our classmates gave us on our presentations. While all of the progressing assignments were ended up inter-be with previous assignments it is now apparent that all of the assignments can be traced to each other through a “web of interbeing”.
