Silence: An Assignment

June 5, 2018 by John Crosby Leave a Comment

This assignment calls for 90 minutes of silence. Put away your smartphones and devices and leave the presence of other people. Be still by yourself.

Then, write a two-page paper reflecting on the experience and putting it in historical perspective.

Some questions to consider:

  • What does it feel like to be silent, to be without constant access to a smartphone?
  • How is this part of our lifestyle now different than in premodern times?
