Interesting Blog

I have to much interesting on lots of things. But, i decide search some blog about Soccer.
Soccer is most famous sports in the world. Especially, Europe, South America and North East Asia. Most interesting soccer league is EPL (English Premier League) which is UK pro soccer league. On EPL 5 Korean players playing. One of my favorite player is Ji-Sung Park. He is in Manchester United. So, I went to some blog about Man Utd.

Manchester United is one of the top team in EPL and the world. Most of best player in the world, they play on that team. Last year, they won at EPL league, so they played on European League too. when people has blog on some sports, they usually wrote about their famous player and team's result. It makes me super hyper. Because, when i see my favorite player on website, i feel like go out and play some balls.

Tibet

As we know, we have big issue for having freedom of land on Tibet China.
The reason why people having demonstration is because China took Tibet as a part of China.
It is same reasoning between Taiwan and China. Taiwan is not own country, it is a part of China right now. But the different is Taiwan got their own government and they live as a own country.
But, for Tibet, all things are control by Chinese Government and the way the control is really ridiculous. they use soldiers to control some peoples and whole the life is not quite well-being.

On this moment, we can think why they having demonstration right now. Because, all the world focusing on China for 2008 Olympic in Beijing now. So, if they having big happens. they can get easily focus from all the world. So they can show their situations and they can be as a own country.

We all don't know how it will end and what happen will be in China. But all we can do is don't use any force, just try to solve by talking.

Grizzly Man


While i watching this movie, i felt two different emotions.

First, Brave
The reason why i say "Brave" is because of his personality. When he came into Alaska, he knew scare at Big Bear. But, he tried to become not scare it. which represent how his brave is.
On the middle of movie, he knew he is going to die by bear. On this part, i didn't get how and why he says he know he'll eaten by bear. But, he never give up at researching a bear and try to live with them. Every time when he came out for looking a bear, he always record that situations.
How he tried to live and talk with bear and other then bear, what kinds of animals live with him. One thing interesting was when the fox came in. Because, as soon as Timothy Treadwell and fox saw each other often, fox always follow him which makes me surprise. Because, i guess fox knows he is alone, and he will not kill a fox. So, they knew their emotions each other.

Second, Stupid
He is "Stupid". Because, he went there without anything. He didn't go there as a some researcher team or some tools that he can protect himself. If he has something with him, he won't die like that sad.

Another thought is why he going there. what i mean by this is he is a environmentalist, he knows how much bear different with human. Because, their life is not like a human, Specially, some bear like Alaska, they live as wild, they bite each other and sometimes attack humans.
He should know that information as a environmentalist.

The following these reasons, After i watch the movie, Most of time i got a two different ideas.
Either positive side or Negative side. It is hard to say why he has to be Positive or Negative.
But, One thing i can say is, he is brave and real man. He shows to all peoples in the world that how he died and by who. which give us more informations about wild life and bears.
"He will still love bears and his girl friend at the Heaven"

Voice

I read a two different story from "Fiction on the web". my first story called " I am your brother" by charlie fish. The voice of this story is like diary. Because, while i read, i can notice easily that wrote him self. Specially on this quote "I cannot belive the day I've just had, it's like dream' which make me interesting too. Although, the way he use a sentence and some dialog part makes me lough.
http://www.fictionontheweb.co.uk/brother.html

Second story called "10k" by Michael sheridan
This story is really short, less then 10 line. but the way he wrote makes me my heart is running.
Because, he wrote about his feeling while he running. what i mean is like he wrote about his feeling by each miles. so it makes reader an get a feeling of how running is hard.

Fastfood Nation


As we begin on Second semester, We are talking about “Do animals can feel the emotions?” and We watched movie called “Fast Food Nation”. On this movie they mentioned one big fast-food restaurants life. what i mean by life is
“How do they get meat ?” Everyone knows all the meats for Ham-Burger is come from lots of different farms. and on the movie, Don Anderson is the Mickey’s fast food restaurant director. he went to one slaughterhouse who supplies Mickey’s. During his visit, He discovers the horrible truth behind a simple hamburger. the true story is not like what we thought it. he discovers that the terrible production system involves the exploit of Mexican illegal immigrants. it is not only the meat crushed in the mincing machine. But also, it is all our society and life now. As soon as they get into America, they are staying at own room with around 10 peoples. All guys and some women going work to factory. But most of women stay at house and they sells their body for get some money. On this moment, i feel very upset. because, they sells their body for getting money. they won’t having a sex with anyone. i saw this happen in real life, sometimes when i look at some news, they mentions lots of south asian women sells their body for getting money. that’s not good habitant for human. i know it is one way to get money for them but as we know that is illegal, i think the world organization should help them to get a job. such as UN. they should work with that kinds of peoples.

Do animal have emotion?


1.Do we have an ethical responsibility toward animals?
- I think we have good responsibility of animals. Because, we all know what we can do and what we can’t do. For example, we can’t eat all kinds of animals in the world. The following reason are religion, disease etc. also most of country who have great rule of animals, when they see some animal accident (car crash,lost their group etc..) people or some animal organization help them to fix it. Although, animal extinction are problems in the world. So, each country made appointment of animal. So we can’t hunt or eat that kinds of animals.

2.Do animals have emotions? Give examples if possible.
- Yes, animal also have a emotions. I usually watch some TV programs that related animal. they always show to us a example of animal accidents on our life. Some animals who lives on city. For example, little dogs has lots of car accident. and when they got any kinds of accident, look at their eyes. their eyes going big and tears near the eyes. which means they actually feels pain. and here is another case, sometimes people who have a pet on their house, if they are no going out with them. they feel stuffy and every time stay in front of window and looking outside. So these kinds of examples tell us animals have emotions.

THE GOD MUST BE CRAZY


While i saw this movie, Only one idea was strike me out. That is about culture.
Most of time on movie, they mentioned between bush man’s life and our modern culture. Most of time bush man’s life is living with nature and clean.
so, they couldn’t have a chance to get either some technical life. in the movie,
when airplane is cross over the bush man’s town, Pilot throw away one bottle of coke. and one of the bush man took the bottle and start making more useful to them. which means, they start begin to using more technical tools for them. But, as times ago, they starts looking that tools every time and arguing each other. it is examples of how takers doing it. when takers got a power and wealth, most of time they fighting or arguing each other. because, they always thinks themselves. Now, as we can notice, bush man’s life didn’t use those of tools and one of the bush man thought this tool is not great tools for them, and he thinks that tool must far away from their society. So, the time’s ago, he leaves their town for throw away a Coke bottle. while he trip he saw lots of things. Animals, environment. nature etc. But, most huge thing was different society. His experiences of new society is starts with hunting animals in National Park. He hunts a something to eat, but one little kid saw that and the kid says like bush man did wrong and called cops. but, the bush man still didn’t understand why they keep saying bush man did wrong on it and the cops arrested him into jail. But the bush man still couldn’t understand why he did wrong. This is when the bush man entered the Takers’ world. He saw all kind of civilized things such as cars, guns…etc. Even though he entered the Takers world, he still lives like a Leaver. as we can see the most sadness? parts when bush man and scientist and his friends are saying good bye to each other, He gave a money to bush man but he still don’t know how to use that. but he leaves with money but while he walking back to his town, he throw money. because, he had a hard experiences on that. that’s why he still lives like a leavers.
While i watch this movie, most of time i felt some explain from “Ishmael” about the culture and Takers, Levers' life. Takers as people often referred to as "civilized." Particularly, the culture born in an Agricultural Revolution that began about 10,000 years ago in the Near East; the culture of Ishmael's pupil. Leavers as people of all other cultures; sometimes referred to as "primitive." and A story as an interrelation between the gods, man, and the Earth, with a beginning, middle, and end.
Ishmael goes on to point out that by living in the hands of the gods, man is subject to the conditions under which evolution takes place. Australopithecus became Homo by living in the hands of the gods-- Man became man by living in the hands of the gods-- "by living the way the bush men of Africa live; by living the way the Krenakarore of Brazil live... Not the way the Chicagoans live, not the way Londoners live." "In the hands of the gods is where evolution happens." According to the Takers' story, creation came to an end with man. "In order to make their story come true, the Takers have to put an end to creation itself-- and they're doing a damn good job of it”
Mother culture teaches that, before the revolution, human life was devoid of meaning,was stupid, empty and worthless. pre-Revolutionary life was ugly.(From ch.11). and the book says the Leavers would, Throughout history, the only way the Takers have found to tear them away from that life is by brute force, by wholesale slaughter. In most cases, they found it easiest just to exterminate them.
So, this is what i found some connections while i watch the movie.

2nd Class Discussion


The following the explanation of laws on the book, we can connect with our main points easily. Our main points, Taker and Leaver are great examples of the laws.
Why it is great examples? Ishmael was talking about created diversity and prevented war with each other in the world but, Takers always broke the rules and take everything from leavers. It happens a lot in our past centuries. the biggest example is war. and it still has it. Our last century, we had a 2 big world war by some takers. because, they broke the rules of the respectful and this problems are still comes around our world. The reason for we having a war now is because of getting sources
Also the takers investigated in agriculture for food and had killed everyone. i think the law creates diversity and the takers had broken the law.

WAL-MART


Wal-Mart is a big and famous market in US and world. most of people thinks Wal-Mart is great. because, all the product is cheap. But, have you think about that? Why Wal-Mart’s products are cheap? it all came from cheap labors and it polluted our planet. and on the TV comer-show they always said cheap products and good products. so it makes people to keep buying it. but the problem is people were buying products, they never thought of that the low price were came from bad stuffs. and it makes our planet weird. if people keep buying that, Wal-Mart have to make more and more, it makes our planet getting much bad. this is one example of Global Warming. earth temperatures getting high and ice melting. if these things keep going on it, we can’t live in this planet. so in my opinion, before we buying something at Wal-Mart or buying some low price products we have to think first. this is our country and planet, we have to save it for us and our generations.

Jane goodall


I didn't see aggression to start with. There's no question that chimpanzees become more aggressive as a result of crowding, as a result of competition for food." (J. Goodall)

"It's very hard to look back with hindsight and say oh well I would have done it differently. If I had gone to Gombe and had access to information about the effect of feeding bananas on wild chimpanzees I wouldn’t have done it". (J. Goodall)

This two little quote is from during her talks on Ted. While i watching this clip. i found something connection with "Ishmael"
First, i found "Captivity"
Basically, being captives is related with on our society and the world. while her talks, she mention ed different cultures and different society. For example, people who lives in jungle and people who lives in city. Jungle people, they living with nature and all the resourses came from nature. which means also can be a humming nature.
on the "Ishmael" we talks about humming in our culture and society.
and now, i can find something relationship between captivity and humming.which is both are talking about our culture and society. But, it also we can think about what things we changed between past and now as a Takers and Leavers.

Second, i can connect with Global Environment Issues class as a Ecological Footprint. Jane also talks about Ecological Footprint. The reason she talks that is, since our technology is become more improve and give us a intelligent life, our nature starts disappear.
pollution, using resource is biggest reason for disappearing nature. Then, what should we have to do now? let's think about that, how made this problem? right, Human did it. which means, we can make less pollution. right now, we are the only one who can change the world. all things in our hand.

Student Outcomes

I as a Effective Communicators asked some ideas that i don't understand while we talks about some strategies to my classmates. and I as a critical thinker thought some sentences and kind of looking back what i learned and start compare. i as a Community Contributor and Active leaner shared my opinion with Jack. So, These reasons help me to get on a Person on high characters.

After reading student 2.0

I read article about learning. while i read, i found some interesting word called "Ignorance"
they said "Ignorance is the lack of knowledge, the inability to understand something without guidance from an outside force." we as a human, when we doing some work or learning, we can't do 100% every time. On this moment, people who starts ignoring that person, that's not respectful for being a human. For example, in school, each student have different level of understanding or getting a idea of learning new stuff. but if one of the teacher starts ignore that kinds of student, that student can't improve themselves. But now we use most incredible invent called "INTERNET" for learning and researching. and now some teachers want student use more internet for learning. But it doesn't mean teacher's can't teach anymore. we all still needs teacher's teach and care of students. and some students feel that is more good decisions for them.
So, in my personal opinion, we have to use both at the same time. when we searching some information, do it but, more focusing on what the teacher explain and ask for it.

Book review Strategies

When we read some summaries of book, we can easily notice some book review. It is different with book summary. Book review is after we read a book, we write our opinion or about the book. when we read book reviews from some famous web-sites, we thinks that "How to write good book review?"

Most important is try to get ideas of book. Either authors thinking or that the story try to telling us. it is based on note taking or how much we get the story. But, one thing we have to notice is try to make a mind-map.

Mind-map is great tools for preparing writhing. Because, as soon as we put all the ideas on it, we can see whole ideas as a one paper and it helps to organize the sentences. Last semester, we wrote movie review, I used mind-map for organize my writhing and it helps a lot. It's easy to put points and well organized.

Reading strategy #3

Today, we talks about most important things while we reading. the following ideas are Characters, Setting, Most Important Word, Theme and Conflict. Character is basically a things become a main. for example, it can be a people.animal or place. Setting is the where the place take the story. Most important word is telling which word can represent the story as a one word, it is simmilar with theme. Conflict is arguing or fighting between agreement or disagreement.

I think this 5 ideas are most important for reading a book. Because, those of 5 ideas helps to understand story and easy to make a summary by my self.

Reading and Prediction #2

When we read lots books, peoples feel really hard to read and predict. Because, some sentences are too hard or some vocabulary.

But their is a one good helping solution. which is "Summary". Summary is really help for before reading a book or while reading a book. Because, when we read a summary of the book, we can get sort of idea of what the book is about, main characters or something big situation etc.
which make easy to understand book.

Specially for me, my english is second language, so i need a lots of time to understand read a english book. So, i always use summary for get some ideas of my book.

Reflection on the reading strategy

For me, i think it depends on what kinds of book i read. actually, it is really hard to predict a story when i read a book. Especially, some kinds of fantasy,Ratiocination and myth. Sometimes it makes me exciting to guessing what happen will be come up, but when we look at the other way is we correct on guessing and know what happen it is. which makes less interesting.
The one book i reading now during English class called "The world without us" it is currently comes out on world. As you can guess looking at title it is about our world's with some issues.
this book is much like scientific books. As soon as look into a book, easy to notice some story of generations and how does our life is changed last past years.
For me, reading this book with predict is hard. because, it is not a story or act. it is a scientific nonfiction. i can think about the image, but not the predict.

What i felt on our Global Ethics class.

This is my first blog entry and i’m going to talk about what i felt on our Global Ethics class. For the past month, we saw and spoke about lots of Global issues. the following results. we found one key word called “CULTURE” when we see that word, most of people just think culture is for fun, enjoy etc.. but as soon as think or read a Ishmael book, we can think different ways. for example, how does it different our culture and our mother culture. it also same happen at me too. before i learn this, i thought culture is just culture. sometimes fun or enjoy. but after i learn it i starts think more deep.

Arctic Tale


While I watching this movie, One word was strike me out. "Families". We saw one Polar Bear family and group of see la. When the world "Families" strike me out, I also found similarity with human. Because, Human also care a lot at family. Specially, When parent think their kids.
As we can see on the movie, polar bear family always trip to find foods. But, It is hard to find some foods in North pole. The reason will might caused by global warming. as soon as global warming is increase, ice starts melting and all the environmental is change.
One day, they finally found a food on the ground. But, that's male polar bear's. Female polar bear were try to eat, but male polar bear keep scare her away. On this part i didn't understand. Because, They know female polar bear is also same kinds of animal. only the gender is different.
But, the female bear didn't give up at food, she keep tried to eat it. so finally, The male bear understood her and let her to eat. I think on this part we can find a emotion of the animal. When we see some really poor face, all of our emotion felt sad and start caring them. so i think male bear understood and felt that feeling.

As we wrote about animal emotions first class of Second semester, they know feeling of sad, happy, depress etc. animal also caring their group just like human do. when we see sea la on the movie, when someone fart it, they start yelling some strange sounds. which means, they know either smells bad or feel cool. so, every single feelings that animal can feel is telling us animal do have emotions.
