During this semester, I learned a lot. First of all, I could review what I learned in Korea like descriptive essay, and I could learn many types of essays. The biggest change I made in this class is , I feel less nervous when I have presentation than I was in Korea (it is just few month ag0!!) Through group project, presentations, and research I felt like I'm in the real university.

Sometimes, these made me tired and streesful, I really enjoyed. Every class, I was very happy to learn something.

Still, I have things to improve. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand people outside like starbucks, retaurants because they speak so fast. Maybe I have to hang out more !! :)

It is end of the semester, and it's time to say good bye. It is very sad some of you are leaving.
Well, it sounds like very common to say " I will miss u". But!!1 I will miss u really .....:( Some of you go back to your countries and some of you go to university. I hope you all succeed in your academic life whereever you are.

For those who will miss me!!! I will stay in here summer haha and I going to take a driver's license. Also, I'm thinking about taking community college classes if it is possible.

After that, I will come back to ALP in fall~~~~~

Have a good vacation and see u 'later'!!!

Good bye my lovely friends :)

Reaction

In the whole movie, I found that the 'Manufactured world" is the most impressive scene for me.

In that scene, I heard a sound of saw and trees fell down. A little girl of a tribe saw it between trees. It makes me feel sad and sympathy on her. Also, it show apartments right under the rock mountains. Over the apartments, an airplane passed and people in the apartments are watching outside. When I saw scenes which shows chickens in machines, It showed devastated side of industrialization, and it showed that industrialization hurts animals, environment.

When people in the apartments are watching outside, I felt sympathy. Also, when the video showed a scene which described high buildings with no trees, it made me chunky. At the same time, in the scene chickens in a machine and bum their bills, I was very angry about that.

In my opinion, the director's purpose of this scene was to make people realize that they have to develop industry without hurting environment. When I saw this scene, it remind me a documentary abut devastating Amazon because of people's greed for industrialization. In this documentary, I also felt guilty but I forgot that feeling for a long time. Through this movie, I can find the feeling and it became the chance to remind that we have to protect our animals and environment.

Journal 16

Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Usually, before going to a university, most of the students decide what kind of major he will major in and it is related to his job. When students think about their jobs, they might consider two things. A job which can make big money or a job which he really like to do. It will be perfect to find a job to catch two things but there will be situation which he should choose.

In reading this quote, my feeling was that it is perfect quote to people who are in this situation. If you choose a job which can earn make big money but you don't like, you will be the person like in the picture. You will get much stress every day and that will be a terrible life. However, if you choose a job you like, you will enjoy your life. You can get two birds with one stone!!

I believe this quote will help who are under stress in their jobs. They will find that they need to change something in their career and I hope they will enjoy their life with their joyful job.

How to green your parent

Allison Afieff.(2010) How to Green Your Parents. New York Times, Retrieved April 21,2010, from http://www.dailytitan.com/2010/04/14/letter-to-the-editor-daily-titan-asi-election-coverage/

In this article, Alisson want people to join 'Green My Parents'.She argues that parents should join GMP's program with their children and make some action for our earth. This is a claim of value which appeal to emotion like worry, heart, dream. She suggested an evidence that the average family can save over $1000 each year by joining GMP's program and doing some actions for earth. In my opinion, it is very good idea to make a action not for just one day,Earth day, but for whole year. If I can save money doing walking to school and kicking the bottled-water habit, I think it is a pretty good idea. Because she used words which can move peoples mind and suggested appropriate evidence, I think there will be many people who agree with her opinion.

Dear. Mom and Dad

My dear parents mom and dad these days, I miss you a lot. I think this is my first letter to you two after I came here and I am very sorry about that.
The reason why I write this letter is, I'm planning to go to Africa to volunteer. When I was young , I once tell you that I want to go to Africa and I'm planning to do it in the near future.
I know you won't like it. It is true that going to Africa is dangerous. However, there is a possible solution. I can be safe because the volunteers will move together. If we move together, the danger facts will be decreased. I promise that I will not move alone. This will make me more safe.

You might heard that I can get diseases at there, but I can prevent the diseases. Before people go to the countries in which we can diseases, they can go to doctors and ask consult. Then, doctors predict the possible diseases and they will prescribe a preventive injection or medicine. Of course, I'll follow this procedure and this means that you don't have to worry about this!

Also, you might think that it can be wasting time for my study, but I think it can be worthy time. As you know, my major is education. The common thing between education and volunteering is giving. Even though teachers get wages, I think it is very important for teachers to give their knowledge not wanting compensation. I don't want to be a teacher who consider his/her students as people for his/her money. So, through this chance I want to cultivate teacher's attainment.

I hope you will agree with me. I'll wait your "positive" answer.

I love you!!!

Summarize/

Thomas H. Maugh II(2010,April 14), Deaths during childbirth may have dropped sharply worldwide-or maybe not. Los Angeles Times, retrieved April 14, 2010, from http://www.latimes.com

It seems that death during childbirth is decreasing, but it depends on who you are listeing to. According to researchers from the University of Washington and the University of Queensland in Australia, they say the death rate is remained steady. However, According to Dr. Christopher Murray of Washington and his colleagues , they argue that it is decreasing year by year. They surveyed the death rate duing childbirth all over the world, and they found the rate is decresing. However, in U.S. the birth rate is increased between 1990 to 17 in 2008. It is because of HIV.
Care like through antibiotics are one of the solutions.

Solution: Socrates!!!!!

Kastenbaum, Robert. "Socrates." Macmillan Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. Ed. Robert Kastenbaum. Vol. 2. New York: Macmillan Reference USA, 2002. 769-772. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 26 Mar. 2010.

The author is Kastenbaum, Robbert. He wrote about Socrates' life including his family, his thought, and his death. According to his wrting, Socrates' midwifery is from his mother. His mother was a midwife, and he came up with an idea. Midwife helps a pregnancy give a birth. From the viewpoint, Midwifery means that teachers are people who help others to deliver themseilves of their conceptions". I thought it will help my research because my research is about finding out Korean education's weaknesses and find solutions from greek education philosophers. By surveying Socrates and other philosophers, I want to find solutions from them like Midwifery, inteelecualism, or Moderation.
