William McDonough- TED

Last class, we watched McDonough's TED talk. As soon as we finished, we began to read a new chapter from Hawken's book. While I watch and read, I had really hard time to get ideas like what's the main idea and what things do I have to get from them. But, one thing I felt really good was when Donough talks about our society from our perspective.
I found a connection from last year GE class.

When humans are starting to live in earth, they invented a lot of things since cave man. But, most amazing invention was using sources, energy and technical devices. As soon as we start use different tools, our society also changed a lot by us. But, have you ever think about real society's problem? How we going to dear with our environment issues? While he give us a presentation, he came up with different questions but I personally felt these two questions are really important and must know it for knowledge.

"How can we secure local society, create world peace and save the environment?" I spend a time to think on this question, but it was hard to say what things we can do. But, after he came up with another question, I got myself an idea.

" How do we love all the children of all species for all time? I think that's our job and homework until the earth disappears.
One thing we can really do is that, educate and make more safety society for our kids and generations. That is what we can really do now. We make most of society problems. Which means, when children's grow to adult, they have possibilities to make another social problems in society. So, we must have our children to make sure educated well on good way or bad way.

I'm not sure my idea is clear enough or connects to our topic, but, I strongly believe that we must keep our species.

Waste not

Before I read this chapter, I thought this story would talk about our waste, but I was wrong. As I looked into it, a lot of thought stroked me, especially when I figured out my internship.

My internship is in PDP LCD Glass site in Tao Yuan Company called CPT. Those PDP Glass factories use tons of chemicals each day for making their products. They dump wastes into water or air. If those companies don't have great systems of dealing with all the wastes, they are contaminating both the water and air, which creates a lot of pollution. All these cause Global Warming.

The reason why I am interested in this chapter is because there are some connections between it and my internship; I can see what's out there in the real world instead of what’s in the books. What I mean by real is that I can actually see how they throw away contaminates. Also, I will learn how to use those machines to either make products or make clean wastes.
I was quite shocked when I read this chapter because of the way author explains about how the amount of our waste are huge and I couldn't get myself over it.

Now, I’m really excited about my internship, which also relates to my senior project. I'm ready to do it and I will share a lot of information with our class.

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.

After Reading Cat's Cradle

I think, This book is most confuse book i have read before. Especially, Last few chapters are mostly confused.

On the last few chapters, the story is going to like this.

Before Dr.H died, He gave 3 ice nine to his kids. Newt,Angela and San Lorenzo's son.

But, Newt lost his by sleeping with own Russian woman. Angela lost hers by Americans and San Lorenzo's son used his for murdering papa monzano. The story going like that Ice nine is most incredible inventions but it's really dangerous. and it suddenly made all grounds turn into ice land. But, Frank, Newt, and Jonah still alive and met bokonon at the end of chapter.

I think, this whole book telling us to do looking back what we did. Because, last message of Kurt Vonnegut was "If i were a young man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would climb to the top oh Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself,lying on my back, grinning horrible, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who." When i read carefully of last message, Only one thing was strike me out. which is If we had great or something memorial happen, do write about it. But, if that is bad thing, don't ever try it or keep it. Because, all the place turn into ice by amazing invention called "Ice Nine".
