Option #2

Q: List some of the technologies that have impacted upon your body – how are these ‘extensions of yourself’?

Smartphones are affecting my body the most. It always hangs on with my body. It is like my body. Usually, I use the note, alarm, and YouTube apps. My schedule, events, and any other information are in the note app. I usually use YouTube to reduce the stress.

Computers and tablets are also affecting my body. These are usually used for studying. Computer use for finding information on the internet, checking the mail, and opening files. Tablet use for note taking.

Q: Consider what these changes have meant in terms of your capabilities, is this technological determinism? Why or why not?

Technology is affecting me. My routine doesn’t work without technology. I use the alarm app for waking up in the morning, the note app for reminding me of my schedule, Google to search for information that I don’t know, and the online map to go somewhere that I don't know. I get a lot of help from technology. If I don’t have technology, I will use primitive ways to do my work and it takes a lot of time. Technology has made it easier to contact my family and friends too. I don’t need to always see them in person. I can just message or call them.

Step 1: Now that you have the basic ideas mapped out, refine your argument and analysis; identify the crucial evidence you need to support your points (i.e.: theory, case studies, clips, etc).

Our argument is that due to the fact that the main character is being whitewashed due to possibly economic reasons and race problems unprecedented in the original work, the movie loses Its original identity. We are planning the use of academic papers, media articles and revenue information to support our claims.

Step 2: Revisit your analysis. Do you see any vague or misleading assumptions concerning your analysis and argument? How can you add detail to your argument and presentation to make sure you are going beyond the surface? (Identify potential weakness and how you might fix them)

There is one vague assumption concerning; that is economic reasons. We will add information to make the listener understand what we want to say as economic reasons that most people are white people in Hollywood so the Ghost in the shell’s film production company appointed the main character as white person to earn money. We are using past and current examples to support the presence of this same issue happening across the culture Industry and how it diminishes the plot of the original work by being whitewashed. A possible weak point could be that in theory major’s body race isn’t crucial since it’s just a shell but since changing the race of major to white introduces the race problem to the equation of the main philosophical issue hence diminishing the premise is our way of tackling the situation

Step 3: Identify what would be the most effective way to present your points (i.e.: PowerPoint slides, images, video clips etc.). Discuss how you will break up the elements of the presentation and the speaking parts. Why is this the most effective way to do it?

We will use PowerPoint that includes images, comments, texts.

These tools will help us in the following way.

PowerPoint: is the medium in which we put the images, texts, and commentaries to be presented.

Movie clips: this is meant to give supporting visual evidence of problems in the movie.

Charts and data: with the help of earning charts and survey data solidifying our claim on why this movie was a victim of whitewashing.

We will distribute the speaking part in a traditional Introduction, Body and conclusion.

Step 4: Revisit and adjust your timeline. Make any additions or adjustments that are necessary – making sure to assign roles and due dates.

Since now we are working more unified the next deadline assigned is for the final number of slides and corresponding times for the end of the week, once we know exactly how much room we must talk the scripts are next by the end of a week and finally putting it all down together with multimedia assistance is for the end of next week.

Entry 10

Dream vs. Reality

Korean national anthem

So that the East Seafood and Mt. Baek-du are dry and worn out

Long live our country with God's support

Rose of Sharon, Gorgeous River, and mountain

Koreans preserve the road

It's like putting on the iron armor of that pine tree on Nam San Mountain

Wind, frost, unchangingness is our weather

Rose of Sharon, Gorgeous River, and mountain

Koreans preserve the road

The sky is empty, high and without clouds

The bright moon is our heart, one heart

Rose of Sharon, Gorgeous River, and mountain

Koreans preserve the road

Dream vs. Reality –

Your journal response from Matt’s class is to copy the lyrics of your national anthem and to do some analysis on it to try and answer the kinds of questions posed below. Make sure to focus on specific lyrics and explain what they mean to you, to your communities, to the people of your country.

These are sentences that repeated.

Rose of Sharon

The rose of Sharon is Korea's representative flower. It has the meaning of a flower that blooms forever and never withers. In other words, it means that Koreans will not give up and move forward forever.

Gorgeous River and mountain

Korea has many mountains and few plains, and there are many rivers because it has three sides of the sea. These talk about the topography of Korea.

Koreans preserve the road

Koreans should work hard to protect Korea.

Just sentences

It's like putting on the iron armor of that pine tree on Nam San Mountain

Nam san is in the south of Korea, and pine is the most abundant tree in Korea. Also, iron armor was the most used by Korea during the war.

The sky is empty, high and without clouds

Korea is as high as the sky. No clouds mean there will be no problems.

The bright moon is our heart, one heart

Koreans have a bright mind like a bright moon. In addition, let’s work hard by showing a sense of cooperation.

What are we told about a place and how is this different from our experience of that place?

These are same as my experiences. Korea is located in the south, with sea on three sides and many mountains and rivers.

Think about your own country. What are you led to believe about your country with regard to?

The Korea national anthem talk positively. I led to believe that Korea is positive.

who is welcome and gets opportunity? Who is able to succeed?

The meaning of working hard in the national anthem often appears, but this statement is true. People who work hard, go to a good university, get a good job, and make a lot of money are highly regarded.

Who holds privilege or importance? Who is discriminated against and why?

People who have graduated from good colleges or have a lot of money have privileges or importance. Because Korea is a democracy, only individual skills are evaluated. Therefore, Korean should work hard if they want to have privileges or importance as national anthem said.

Are all of these factors how people experience the country?

Yes. All of these are true, and Korea has a small land and few resources, so unless you work hard, you will not be treated like a human being. In conclusion, working hard is most important.

How are the experience and the dream different?
Experience is the story of one's life up to now. Dreams are people’s desires. Dream can be present and future. Of course, if a dream came true, it could become the past but experience is always past.

Entry 7

1. Can you identify stereotypical versions of yourself in the media? Find some examples.

Media 1) Most Koreans love spicy food.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1HpEAzkDAU

Media 2) Most Koreans get plastic surgery.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/korea-plastic-surgery_l_5d72afb0e4b07521022c00e1

Media 3) Koreans still eat dog meat.

https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2019/02/25/south-koreans-eat-more-than-2-million-dogs-every-year-but-thats-changing/2930025002/

2. What parts of your identity are missing in these stereotypes?

1. Not all Koreans love spicy food. Even if the majority like it, the few are different. I don’t like spicy food. My some of my friends cannot eat kimchi.

2. Not all Koreans get plastic surgery. It is different for each type, but plastic surgery is a very dangerous operation. Only some Koreans get an operation.

3. Koreans do not eat dog meat. Koreans ate dog meat after the Korean War (6.25 War) ended. Nowadays it is not possible to eat dog meat in Korea.

3. What “single story” is it giving the audience about people like you? Is this single story (potentially) harmful to you or others like you?

The single story is giving that most Koreans love spicy food, plastic surgery, and dog meat.

Yes, these single stories are harmful to me, or others like me. These are making stereotype about Koreans.

4. What alternative information is important for people to know about you? How does the single story you are looking at differ from this alternative information? In other words, what is being left unsaid in this media?

Media 1

I hate spicy foods. I can't even eat spicy foods. Media 1 misrepresent that most Koreans love spicy foods. Only Koreans who like many spicy foods appear in media 1. I am very angry that there are no Koreans who hate spicy food. Media 1 need to interview to Koreans who hate spicy food. This creates a stereotype that all Koreans like spicy foods.

Media 2

I have not gotten plastic surgery. Plastic surgery operation is very dangerous. People can be disabled or die. Therefore, I scared to get plastic surgery. Media 2 misrepresent that there is a plastic surgery boom in Korea, but It is not a fact. Only some Koreans get plastic surgery. People can suspect of plastic surgery if Koreans are a little handsome or pretty. I am not handsome, but I can get suspect of plastic surgery from people who don’t know about Korean’s face. Media 2 need to say that some Koreans get plastic surgery. Media 2 is very rude to Koreans.

Media 3

I have never eaten dog meat. I love dogs. Also, my parents have a dog in their Korean house. Media 3 misrepresent that Koreans still eat dog meat. As everyone know, dogs are our friends or family. Koreans banned eating dog meat after the Korean war (6.25 war), and the law is still being followed. Before the Korean war, Korean had eaten dogs, but Korean was invaded by Japan, there were not enough foods for Korean. They had eaten everything expect person to survive. Media 3 need to write like some Koreans who broke the law still eat dog meat but it is not possible to eat dog in Korea.

Question 1:

Platforms: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Tik Toc.

Tools: Smart Phone, camera, lab top.

I usually use YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram

I usually watch videos that is interesting and look at people’s pictures to de-stress during my breaks.

I have not ever Participatory Culture or Fan Activism because I have not wanted to take time to do them. These take too many times and I have never been a passionate fan of anyone.

Question 2:

Media producers try to convergence so that media content can be used easily and conveniently on various platforms, and furthermore, they try to make synergy on various platforms because convergence makes people consume more. For example, In addition to Star Wars movies, producers made many products that can be consumed by people through various platforms such as cartoons, games, videos, costumes, and toys.

Media consumers can easily become media producers with lower-priced tools so media consumers want to become media producers.

Question 4:

I agree about the question because As Jenkins says, barriers to entry into the media market have become very low. The price of media tools has been lowered, their performance is improving, and many platforms have been created, allowing many people to participate in the media. The most important thing is that there is a space where you can share and talk with others. Amateurs can also share their work on many platforms and earn money through many views or advertisements. I think it is a fundamental alternative to the hegemonic media content created by media companies. The culture of minority groups or amateurs, who were excluded from people by the hegemonic media, can easily be circulated in society, and through the production and distribution of such content, there is an opportunity to become famous or earn a lot of money for minority groups or amateurs as well.

Social Constructivism in “Zero”

Week 8, Padlet Activity

Luis, Abir, Jun Lee, Lan

CHAAD2102, BUELD2103, LEEJ1D2103, RENY1D901

Nov, 02, 2021

The film’s protagonist is Zero. He was born into a prejudiced world that despised him because of his undesirable circumstance; being a zero. The other higher numbers around him believed the number zero has no value. The higher numbers act as the story’s antagonist and represent society of hierarchy with strict rules that dictate a person’s value. He was very lonely and depressed due to being constantly persecuted when he wanted society’s acceptance. However, he still had the feeling of love within him. He would smile at some miracles of nature. He embodies human emotions and the universal desire for love and acceptance. He was able to do so when he met a female Zero who was also ostracized and persecuted by the higher numbers. They both were in the same situations and that is why she offered Zero love and a sense of belonging. She revealed Zero’s need and embodied Zero’s transformation from being a lonely person to a loved hero when she gave birth to an infinity number. This film embodies the theory of a society that is purely based on the number you are born with and the fact that you are allowed to improve or to have better a standard because your number is low. Clearly resonates with the concept of social constructivism in terms of hegemony. This is because of the world’s domination over the number zero and how they keep suppressing zeros due to them having no value. Social constructivism for us is the fact that the whole of a society creates for itself a sort of guidelines or “hidden rules” that are put in place to keep a certain power dynamic. Factors that lead to this theory is when Zero was treated unfairly in school because others bullied him and no one tried to be his friend. No jobs were offered to him as an adult either and he was also harassed and imprisoned by the police for no reason.

Stereotype

White people

Media

2) The idea of the “foreigner” – what does she say about her early impressions of the foreigner in the books she read? What affect did it have on her?

When she was young all books all book’s characters have blue eyes and white. She got a stereotype about book’s characters. She though most books’s character should be white and has blue eyes. Also, she believe most books must about she have never experienced. But she changed the think when she read books from Africa.

In a Padlet Entry

First, explain hegemony in your word.

Secondly, using the theory and terminology we learned today, answer this question again: what power has to do with the single story.

1. Hegemony means that one group, culture or country dominates other groups, cultures and countries. In other words, it is power to lead or dominate. Hegemony is where one group controls the institutions, social relations and beliefs and they dominate another group’s mind and body with education to keep them under their control. Education is the best way to control people’s minds because it starts at a young age. Young people can be influenced more easily than adults. Young people are the future. If young people’s minds are influence, then the future can be influence.

2. There are many relations between power and the single story. Power is the stereotype. Many people get stereotype from media like Instagram, news and books. People who have stereotypes think of other people or things as one way. These thinks hard to change. Even, stereotype arise from consciousness or idea that determine people’s behaviour. conscious or idea get thought stereotype can cause tremendous physical damage and material damage to people and things. Power also can cause same thing.  Therefore, single story and power have many relationships.

“The Veldt” – Ray Bradbury

Today’s exercise is meant to get us working with the basic analysis skills we worked on last week. We are going to transfer those skills over to text, in place of imagery (pictures).

We are going to focus on the same kind of process we began with last time:

1) Identify key elements in the work we are analyzing.

2) Interpret those elements and discuss their significance to our understanding of the text.

3) Connect our understanding/interpretation of key elements together.

4) Build toward drawing conclusions about the text we are reading.

When we combine our analysis work with our understanding of conflict, we will begin to understand and identify themes present in the story. This will allow us to understand some of the deeper implications of the story we are reading, and to connect it to the world around us.

1)     Make a list of the language that is unfamiliar to you. Ask questions in your small groups or to your instructor. Do not use Google to try and figure the definitions. Conversation is a much greater teacher.

Vultures –  Large birds that scavenge. These are type of bird like crow. Sometimes, it can describe person who take advantage.

Amused –  funny and entertain.

Handkerchief -  Square piece of cloth used to blow or wipe one’s nose. Usually kept in one’s pocket.

2)     The title of the story, what does it refer to? What is “The Veldt?”

The Veldt means is the Happy-life Home or the nursery.

3)     The parents buy a technologically advanced house: What is it called (Hint: P.9)? What does the name suggest that the Hadley’s are buying? What “dream” are they being sold when they purchase the house?

It called Happy-life Home. The name suggest that Hadley’s are buying makes life happier at home.

Happy-life Home works everything for people. This is dream of people.

4)     Using your answers for question 3 as the basis for this question, explain the conflict that the Hadley’s are trying to resolve when they purchase the house? What is their reasoning for purchasing it (Find a quote to support your response).

“But nothing’s too good for our children.”

Happy Life Home makes children do work like take on and off clothes, take a shower and eating food. Normally, children get help from parents but Happy Life Home acts as the parent. It means the children do not have enough time to communicate with parents. Therefore, there are conflicts between Lydia, George and children.

The reason why Lydia and George buy the Happy Life home is to  help the children and make them happy.

5)     Analyze the following two quotes and explain the kind of conflict you perceive. Be detailed and as specific as possible in your response. You might even want to read those particular scenes again to get more *context

“nothing’s too good for our children” (9).

“we’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward? Secrecy, Disobedience?” (18)

“Nothing’s too good for our children” means the parents think their children want everything, even if it is expensive.

“we’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward? Secrecy, Disobedience?” Means the parents changed their thinking. They feel bay about Happy Life Home because the children aren’t behaving the way they want them to.

6)     What is Lydia referring to when she tells George that he has been “awfully nervous lately” (13)? Why do you think the adults feel so unsettled? Find a quote to support your answer and then also try to explain it in your own words.

Parents tried to throw away Happy-life House because of relationship between children and parents. Children got to know about it and they really like Happy-life House even more than their parents. Therefore, the children try to kill the parents.

7)     Read over page 20, when the dad talks to the son. The part about the painting machine. What is happening to the children? How are they being affected by the house? What does the son want to do with his life? Describe the conflict this scene explores, in your own words.

This scene describe the conflict between dad and son. George doesn’t want to use Happy Life Home because he wants his son to do things himself. Peter wants to use Happy Life Home for everything. He does not want to brush his own teeth, tie his own shoes, comb his hair or give himself a bath. George wants Peter learn to paint all by himself. He does not want to learn to paint. Peter does not want to do anything. He just wants to look, listen and smell.

8)     When David Maclean, the psychologist comes to look at the nursery, he says: “It certainly doesn’t feel good” (21). Why do you think that when Maclean suggests the parents “have the damn room torn down” (22), this causes such a problem for the children? Why are they so emotionally affected when the parents tell them the nursery is being shut down?

This causes such a problem because the children were thinking that the room is their mother and father. They are so motionally affected when the parents tell them the nursery is being shut down because they feel they are losing their parents.

9)     What are the central conflicts of this story, in your opinion? Based on your responses, what do you think the author Ray Bradbury is trying to show us in this story?

The central conflicts are between parent’s and children’s wants. Parents do not want to use Happy Life Home but children want to use it. Ray Bradbury is trying to show us that if you use technology too much, it can have negative effective. We should not rely on technology too much.

We mean social or social issues.  All of these structures exist in the society we live in.  Social issues are built by people.  Social issues can be passed down from generation to generation by learning from stereotyped friends, parents, and teachers through people's media.  This can be easily seen in the media and in the society we live in.  The reason we can easily see social issues is that many people discriminate against or bully others about social issues.  For example, gays are also ordinary people, but some people ignore gays and do not consider them dirty and ordinary.

Gender is a term that refers to a person's sexual self-identity related to the culture or society to which an individual belongs, unlike sex, which is the biological distinction between women and men.

In the past and now, many people suffer a lot of pain and discrimination due to social issues surrounding gender.  There is a stereotype that only one gender should do a particular job.  For example, ballet, housewives, and nurses are occupations that women usually do.  Firefighters, police officers, and soldiers are jobs that are usually done by men.

These jobs are jobs that everyone can do, and there are more and more of them these days. However, certain people ignore those jobs if they are of a specific gender, and there are cases where they discriminate in the workplace.  I think the social issues surrounding gender should just ignore people who ignore man nurses or women soldiers etc.. and just do our work.

Group Analysis Assignment
Group members:
1 _____Ethan Tang_____________________________
2 _________Hayato Mimuri_________________________ 3 _______Luis Bueno___________________________
4 _______June Lee___________________________
5 __________________________________
In this assignment we will work together in groups to create written analysis of a unique advertisement provided by your instructor. Much like with the images we practiced on, this assignment will ask you to focus on the specific details of the advertisement in order to analyze its meaning and intent.
At the end of the assignment, you’ll be answering 3 key questions: What is the message this ad is trying to present?
How does it present its message?
Who is the target audience for the ad?
You will be using the specific elements of the advertisement to help answer each of the three questions (above). Remember, when we analyze, we do not just identify the different elements of an image or piece of writing; we also work to explain how and why those elements are important; we explain how those elements connect to other pieces of the image/text: we present our conclusions about those elements.
*Additionally, please make a list of any language you had to google to understand, either in the advertisement or these instructions. This is part of the academic process and important in both understanding and increasing your vocabulary.
______________________________________________________________________
________
The first section (below) is designed for you to articulate your observations in writing. You are encouraged to list and discuss up to 5 elements (or more!) in the ad that help you to understand its meaning and intent.
The second section is for you to complete a paragraph that uses your observations to create conclusions about your advertisement.

The practice of writing out these elements and articulating their importance to the ad will help us begin the process of analyzing text (stories), music (lyrics and video) and film. The ability to analyze media will feature prominently in your media makeover assignment as well as your final group presentation.
Be sure and ask as many questions as you need of your group members and your instructor. At this point in our class, we aren’t so worried about being right or wrong but rather in starting a process that we will later develop into critical thinking and media analysis skills.
______________________________________________________________________
________
Each group has been given an advertisement to work with.
Try to identify at least five important elements from your advertisement.
For each element, work to explain or interpret its importance to the overall message. Make clear how different elements work together to create meaning.
What conclusions does each element, or combination of elements help us to draw?
Element #1: Lipstick
Associate with women,
Element #2 : Title
THIS IS AN AD FOR MEN in capital letters and white colour, great contrast with red, in your face
Element #3: Actual percentages and number
When the the profitability increase with the quota of women
Element #4: Color
The background is covered with passion red which represent women Element #5: Stands
The biggest brand of cosmetic, Loreal stand on the female leadership role

Now, we are going to attempt to put our analysis together into a single, well-written paragraph. By the end of our paragraph, we should have answered these three questions (either directly or indirectly): What is the message this ad is trying to present? How does it present its message? Who is the target audience for the ad?
First, we see a passion red background with lipsticks in the middle and big white bold letters as title stating “THIS IS AN AD FOR MEN. Hire more women in leadership roles. We’re all worth it.” thus we can imply that the target of the ad are men in a hiring position for a company, moving on we see four lipsticks increasing in size from left to right which depicts profitability increase with quota of woman. L’oreal is the biggest cosmetic company in the world, with this we can see the impact they can make in the industry from the message of this ad which is that there is a correlation between women in leadership positions and increased profits therefore prompting us to hire more women in leadership roles.
