This is my original painting. I painted that on paper since painting on canvas was really challenging for me with mouse. Also, to be honest I'm not a great painter so I just decided to paint a picture which has meaning inside it, and I think I did it on this painting. According to that I tried to depict two aspects about the idealism that some groups are happy with that, but some disagree with that and none of them is correct or wrong.

In order to include to explore my critical question, I’ve done research through the articles that I’ve mentioned in my Annotated Bibliography. I also did some field work (I took an anonymous survey from my peers and my followers on social media (Instagram). In the end I found a lot of Juicy content about Idealism, and it’s impacts on our beliefs. An important issue is that idealism is not a completely positive or completely negative issue, and it has advantages and disadvantages from different points of view.
From one of the articles, I learned that idealism could have various appearances. One of these appearances is that by institutionalizing a teaching style, politicians have led students to a style that makes them hungry for academic research. And this mechanism has created a suitable platform for teachers so that they can easily influence students. As a result of that students achieve mental and heart quality by following their models and they use and get help from these things for their stability.
Another topic is about the roots of idealism and explains about the connection of idealism with fields such as neuroscience and religious relations. This article mostly included research projects about how idealism arises and the impact of idealism and the argues that philosophers have did about this matter in the 17th century. From this article I learned that we can only understand the world through concepts, rather than directly experiencing it and this is exactly pointing to the fact that idealism cannot leads us through progress beforehand and this is a huge confliction between idealism and realistic world.
I also  realized that Idealism was the backdrop against which many of our current ideas about politics, society and culture emerged and despite the fact that it should leads us have a greater culture it actually had a lot of drawbacks for us according to the fact that I mentioned above about how idealism conflicts the reality  The next topic that was very interesting to me was  explaining the negative views of idealism, such that " idealism has led us to a great depression." And the thing that i learned but it was very strange to me was that idealism was one of the reasons for the world war. However, in the following he emphasizes that it is idealism that pushes us to move forward and progress.
Another thing that this article taught me was pragmatism, which is the opposite side of idealism. A philosophical tradition known as pragmatism rejects the notion that cognition serves to describe, portray, or mirror reality and instead views words and thought as tools and instruments for prediction, problem-solving, and action. From the last article, which was mainly based on the words of philosophers, I learned that realism intends to lead us to the materialistic world, but the human spirit is not like that.  It is felt that this issue is completely opposite to idealism, however at the end I would say the best way to understand reality is to make theories that fit our understanding.

The last time I spoke to my therapist was about three months ago. In the first days after my immigration to America, I was not feeling well at all, instead of being eager to explore this new place.
In my therapy session, my therapist asked me to find the cause of this discomfort and let's deal with it. As I explained to her, my situation is not going as I expected. For example, why I am not as good at something as my classmate. What's the reason?  There's someone who's very clever, I'm not, and there's someone who comes from a wealthy family and is prosperous, but not me. My therapist gave me only one answer: this issue stems from idealism. She explained Idealism often motivates you to move forward, but at the same time, you need to be aware of its limitations.  All-knowing and perfect people do not exist. She asked me if I had determined the criteria and characteristics that I thought were extraordinary. Their achievements are extraordinary. She explained to me that no one in this world is perfect, and neither will you be, and that idealism refers to striving to improve, not letting this issue hinder my motivation. When I was thinking about my research topic the topic "Idealism" just came to my mind and I decided to do my research about that. At the end as a result of this research, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of idealism and its various aspects.

I created a survey on Google Docs and gave it my classmates and followers on Instagram.
Here are the results:
Of the 24 respondents, (50%) said Idealism gives them hope, while (25%) thought it motivates them. However, (12.5%) believed that Idealism creates them an unrealistic World.

According to the result of the second question I really surprised when I saw that (75%) of students believe that Idealism is overall beneficial while only (25%) consider Idealism harmful.
What stood out to me was that 75% of the student's thought Idealism is beneficial, which made me happy, because I believe it is really important and essential to know which things beneficial and which ones are harmful and then you can focus on the positive sides and try to move in the positive side of that aspect instead of getting harm from that
In terms of how much they think Idealism is impacting their life, only (10%) thought it is impacting their life extremely high-Low while the vast majority (50%) thought It is impacting quite normally (3 0ut of 5), though (18%) voted for (4) and the rest (18%) voted for (2) out of 5 for the Idealism's impact's percentage.
To be honest I got shocked when I saw the result of this question since I was expecting that they would mostly say that Idealism has very low impact, however I believe this percentage is still not accurate and dependable and I'm sure at the end of the day when they take a look at this research, they will notice how greatly Idealism is really impacting their lives and they will change their answer to extremely effective.

According to the open ended, I got happy when I saw that more than half of the respondents have written a complete sentence about the example of " how Idealism is impacting their lives?". Almost the 70 percent of the answers were positive such that 1: Idealism is raising their standards.
2: it is encouraging them to make good plans.
3: Many of them belied it is motivating them to achieve their goals.
etc.
while the rest believe that Idealism is putting them under the pressure of being the best and get into the unrealistic world. They have mentioned that:
1: It stresses then out and makes them sad
2: Missing life
etc.
According to all of the things that I mentioned above I noticed that the people still don't have the complete viewpoint and aspects of Idealism and i hope that after this research they would recognize that in what field is that impacting their lives and they would be able to get more benefit from this believe and avoid getting into the negative aspects of this matter. After all I would like to thanks all the respondents for giving me their time through doing this survey.
