Inquiry Question,

We spoke about our senior project last class. I personally really interesting in Media.
I spend lots of time to search and think about how it can change to interesting topic.
Finally, i found interesting topic. "How does media affect our society"

This topic will cover with historical of media, how do they change into our daily life and what cause of media in our society now etc. I can't write all of it but, i found my self that really interesting and have to know as a logically. Reason why i choose this topic is because, media is one of the biggest thing and really need for our daily life. They gave us a lot of things. such as news for society, entertain for humorous etc.

On this moment, i got interesting questions as my conclusion, why people watch or need media.
I might do some survey to other students, it's a common things that we are always do and each people got different ideas and reason to why they use media.

Weird T-Shirts


We had research for finding some weird and funny T-shirts. I found pretty interesting Korean “Kuso” t-shirts from Internet.

“JORNAN” this is from Korean Word means rescue. As you can see, the logo supposes for Jordan hold a basketball. But, people create something different because, they want make people to have fun and enjoy.

Can you notice it? Jordan is in danger and helicopter carries him for help and it says on quote. "I remember your Help."





Second T-shirt is also pretty interesting word.
this word is like usually use when big guy try to scare little guy.
As you can see Big puma try to scare little puma and says IMMA.!
So that little puma get feels scary at big puma.

Social Sculpture

We had a skype with the artist from Chicago during a class.
Soule Golden, She had lots of time to do fashion works in Chicago.
While we doing interview, We all felt shy to ask some questions it also included me.

Basically what she said was that, if the people who wants to applying art university, portfolio is extremely important. Because, Art is not like show how much do i know or solve some questions like normal subjects. Art has to express and show everyone. When i heard that, i was thinking that i should think about great portfolio. Because, i personally pretty interesting in media.
I haven't decide between business course and media for my major, but i really want try to applying art university for my interest. One of my dream is working in Public Broadcast systems.
So, it'll be great chance to go art university for my dream.

Before i have to decide my school, i think i have to focus on two things. One is get set up a portfolio just in case. Second is make sure all prepare for applying business school.

The silence of Silicon Lambs

In our Global Ethics class, we read an article about Science Park in Hsinchu Taiwan. Yay ! That’s our city we live right now.

As we know, Taiwan's IT (Information Technology) improved a lot last past year and it become Taiwan's most successful products, such as Computer chips, PDP, and LCD etc.
Do you know how to make those products?

PDP and LCD is relate with semiconductor, which I want to work for my future. My dad working on Semiconductor Company and I often get a idea of semiconductor. LCD and PDP made by glass. They’re easy to break. When people making these products, they have to mix different kinds of chemicals with different pump line. That's why big company's like Samsung, LG, Hynix, TSMC, AUO, Chimei etc has different section of their factory. When they are making products, they are using tons of different kinds of toxic chemicals.

Those products are really great tools for our life now. Without any technical products, our life will have some problems. But, have you ever think about any bad situations?

Factories are actually hurting our environments right now.
For example, as I said before, for making glass, they need tons of different chemicals and a lot of wastes are also coming out too. Some factories has great systems of cleaning their waste but, some factories not.

These chemicals are different than what we usually know. In order to cleaning waste, they must have a good waste machine. If not, it's cause of water pollution. Humans can't live without fresh waters, but, if waters are polluting by chemicals, there is no answer for live. So, the country who has week law of it, they should organize law of waste chemicals.

Just like what these article said, we have huge problems about those of silicon lambs. We have to think about those issues before we start making new products. Otherwise, we are going to lose or hurt more nature and real environment.
