What defines "original work"?

<p>In Northwestern’s statement question, they ask what you’d ask the creator of an original work. Are they referring to artwork and music only?</p>

<p>I put Gandhi, the creator of the doctorine of non-violence, and I’d ask him what he’d do under Nazi rule with his non-violence belief.</p>

<p>Is this acceptable??</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t see any harm in it. Original work is very broad concept in my opinion.</p>

<p>I picked THE SIMPSONS btw, about what state simpsons live.
hehehehehehehehe</p>

<p>Just make sure that the “creator of non-violence doctrine” thing is clear in your answer</p>

<p>I chose a novel.</p>

<p>I don’t see any harm in choosing Gandhi either. I think it’s quite original.</p>

<p>I think they put “original work” instead of “work of art or music” in the application for the main reason that we could be more creative in our answers with this wording. I didn’t talk about artwork or a piece of music in my answer. I extended my answer to a different type of work as well.</p>

<p>i put andy warhol and the campbell’s tomato soup can. i asked him what he liked to eat with his tomato soup</p>

<p>one more question: on the statement about enacting a law, do you have to put a reason why u put you chose your law? The question just asks what law u’d enact, and would you just put your law and thats it???</p>

<p>Mine’s is: It is illegal to create a military. Its very debatatble, but should i just leave like that?</p>

<p>i have one day, anyone???</p>

<p>that’s awesome! i always wondered that. springfield, IL, OH…what?! they addressed it on an episode once but they intentionally cut it short just as bart was about to say it or something…hahha</p>

<p>can anyone answer my 2nd question?</p>

<p>vinzzy–I would say yes, that is acceptable since Ghandi’s “original work” was his non-violent doctrine. :o) It’s a good one, go for it.</p>

<p>Yeah, the Ghandi one sounds excellent. On the law one, if you have some extra room under the 50-word limit after stating/explaining your law, I would say you should probably give a brief explanation of why you’d pick that particular one.</p>
