Smartness is something that everyone has in many different ways. In this picture it is a representation of people learning from one another. I think that one of the most important ways to learn is from each other!

It is clear that smartness doesn't develop in a vacuum. Although individuals can hold smartness, I think it is through collaboration or interaction with the diverse people and world that surrounds us that we develop our personal intelligence and foster smartness at a higher level. My drawing is one of the most common images of diversity, and that's because I truly believe that diversity in what, who, when, and where we learn from is what allows for our smartness to reach a state of perpetual growth as this means will never be a lack of something we can learn from. And this class has shown me that this learning takes place in more than the traditional Western classroom we're used to but that perhaps our education should also be modified to include discussion of the land we live on, minority ways of thinking, our connection with nature, our cultural beliefs, and so much more as these all enrich our worldviews and thus, I believe, our smartness. Just realizing how much I didn't know about what smartness can look like and how all of our definitions vary showed me that there are likely still many factors that contribute to our smartness and how society views this construct that I am still unaware of. But by seeking to expand our perspectives and pursue lifelong growth, I think we can both individually and collectively develop our smartness for as long as we live.

I believe we develop our unique “smartness” through our own life experiences and interactions with others. Smartness is present in people who actively try to better themselves and their community. Smartness is being able to have an open heart and an open mind in order to collectively generate a progressive future.

I personally find smartness to be how well you can adapt fo different circumstances and being able to learn from past experiences and advice.

Lance: I drew what is supposed to be people linked together inside of a brain like neurons. I think smartness is just an outward expression of what we have personally experienced and internalized through our own discoveries and experiences and have distilled down to a thought process that we use to interpret the world. I believe that everyone has smartness and similarly everyone is born with the same amount of smartness, and the only difference being that our lives shape our smartness differently. The only reason that you may feel some people are not "smart" is simply because their smartness is just not part of mainstream society's way of thinking.

Smartness is the ability to perceive and analyze. I think that smartness come from the nature. Humankind should get smartness by engaging in activities related to the nature. It is a mutual effect that people perceive what the nature is changing and adapt selves, and the nature is also changing to adapt the interactions with humans.

I think those that are smart use their knowledge and ideas to bring about progress in the world in some way. This can be something that has a large impact, like finding the cure to a disease, or something that has a smaller impact, like positively influencing the life of another individual.

I think of smartness as drawing from a person's strengths, growing through support from and interaction with others, being expressed through nourishing and caring for one's surroundings, and coming back to oneself to keep growing those strengths. This is an illustration of my younger child Emiliano who (perhaps unwisely) saw the last few minutes of Shang Chi and began pretending he was playing with the Ten Rings.

Everyone has smartness. It doesn't matter the persons race, gender, if they have a disability, everyone has smartness in one way or another. Smartness can come from many different places and knowledge can be gained through keeping an open mind and learning everyday.

Everyone has and can develop their smartness. Smartness comes from knowledge and understanding and can be grown through education and learning (in any form). To have smartness means to apply your knowledge and think critically about the world around you.

Matthew: Smartness comes from our daily interactions, culture, education, community, and our individual uniqueness. Smartness is not limited to one dominant culture or individual. Everyone has smartness in their own way.

I drew a bubble chart to show how I think about smartness- it surrounds us as we grow up and we see it in many different forms. I wrote only a few here, as the number of connecting ideas are endless.

Smartness is a type of intelligence that is manifested in many ways including your racial/ethnic backgrounds, your knowledge on various topics, your experiences throughout life, etc. Everything in your life essentially builds your smartness in some way. Therefore, this means everyone has smartness, but different variations/kinds of smartness based on one's experiences, interests, and knowledge. You can develop your smartness by learning more about yourself, your surroundings, your interests, or just widening your viewpoint on various issues. I found in this class I learned a lot about how smartness can originate in many different contexts and how I should keep an open mind when learning new things to see how it impacts/relates to people/things that I may not think about immediately. This means smartness is developed with time and reflection. My drawing shows some influences a person may have to develop their smartness (their surroundings-home, their place of living-US, their interests-baseball, books/reading, and their friends/family/other people.

Smartness to me means using collective thoughts and experiences to form an idea or thought. This definition to me transcends ability, race, gender, etc.

Smartness is everywhere around us, and isn't a specific set of standards or one definition. It's more about learning and considering different perspectives to know more about others and the world around us.

I believe smartness is how well you can adapt to past, new and current information. It is how willing you are to think outside the box and able to look at new perspectives.

Smartness is everything. It develops from birth and develops from how we interact with the world.

Everyone is smart! Our differences are what make us smart - our unique experiences that only we can contribute to the conversation. We develop our unique smartness by interacting with each other and the world around us in positive ways. It's not about grades or tests, it's about accepting each other for who we are and learning from our differences.
