Fate vs free will has been a hot topic this year. I personally believe my life has been guided by fate. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and that there are no mistakes. I believe that we make our own decisions but our fate has been predetermined and we can't change it. It makes sense if you don't think about it. In Macbeth, we see the influence of the supernatural on the decisions of the characters. It raises the question of whether the characters are making their own conscious decisions. I relate this to a higher power guiding our decisions, but in such a way that we think we are making our own decisions. Once again, it makes sense if you don't think about it. I think Shakespeare believed that our fate is predetermined. He shows this through the witches prophecies. I also think that he believed that our choices are guided by some supernatural power.  Once again shown through the witches influence on Macbeth and lady Macbeth.

This piece of art is Miradas I by Moris (Isreal Meza Moreno). It is Acrylic paint over a highly peixelated photo on canvas. Miradas I questions how much you can tell about a person from their eyes. Since the piece is paint over a picture, the outline of the people in the picture can be seen faintly through the paint. It made me look closer so I could try to figure out what these people actually look like and maybe where they came from. Im not exactly sure what the artist's puropose for this was, but it was really cool. looking at this art I got the feeling that this piece was targeting profiling and sterotyping. It made you look at the people as people. You couldn't really see their race, religion, or sexual orientation which I really liked.
