Class Writing , persuasive essay

Dear Dean David V. Powers

For keeping the Communication and Journalism department autonomous, I think compromising journalism department and business department will be the best idea.

Today, the Journalism is no longer what you thought of Journalism. Due to digital age and emergence of Internet Journalism has changed its shape adapting new models. For example, blogs created citizen journalism, which anybody can be journalists. Small news institutions are created by former journalists who got fired due to lay off.

Thus, journalism today is not what we used to know of Journalism. Today if everybody can be journalists, how can journalism student can be distinctive from others? The key point is acquiring business and entrepreneur skills.

You know how there are so many small news organizations are popping up? And these organizations are now getting attention as a one ways of saving journalism in the future. More than 100 of small news organization are created in past year, and they are increasing its value. They are concentrated n community so supported by strong support from community. The staff are former skilled journalists, so the contents are rich, and they have strong investigative journalism skill. These small new organization are successful not only the investigative skills, but they also have to have entrepreneur skill.

SU journalism department are moved into business, they will be able to learn how to manage company and initiate it. In this way, we will have more journalism student who will be success in the future of Journalism.

Onion

WHat kind of commentary do you think they provide on the issue

The protest for the same sex marrige is now common and seen everywhere in the U.S. In Minesota, people went for the protest for the ligalization of same-sex marrige. Only this time was not the normal protest, but in a little unique way.

In the report from Onion, the plates such as "I hate my wife" or "Let not us to love" are seen during the protests in Minesota. People are protesting for ligalization of same-sex marridge not by saying "Right of marrige" or "No discrimination" which normal protests do. With the plates like "Let not us to love", the Minesota protesters argues in disassociateing and inorical ways. Their argument challenges what people had believed, which is marridge is only for same sex, is wrong by showing the bad effect of the belief. The bad effects of the belief are "Let us not us to love" or "I hate my wife". SO, in the protests, people are disassociating their idea of legalizing same-sex marridge from the marridge is for only same sex idea.

Weekly Writing 8: Editorial piece for the future of Journalism

Who knows what will happen to Journalism in the future. Who knows if we are still reading the newspaper 10 years later or not. Who knows how we are getting every day news and what types of media exists in the future. My questions here is - do we really have to think about it right now?

The recent dying out of the newspapers and newspaper industries threatened not only Journalists or related people for loosing their jobs, but also normal American citizens for losing their democracy. Being a place for practicing news gathering, newspaper industries have offered quality news. Investigative Journalism practice for example are conducted in the newspaper industry. Thus, loosing them means for us loosing the qualities of news as well as our democracy.

While we have seen different "news models in the future", nothing seems to be a good solution or nothing seems to be able to save journalism in the future. The most apparent news model which is introduced into many industries is called "Link Journalism". The model link newspaper industries with website. Although this news model seemed great idea by attracting audience, it did not increase the industries' reveue. Another model called "Crowdfunding" was not sucessful either because it created Ctizen Journalism, a Journalism based on ordinary people, which caused decline of news qualities.

People are still searching for the ideal solution of how to save Journalism. Thanks to thoses of Journalism scholars who came up with blliriant news models; however, the problem is that none of their ideas are best solutions.

So my idea here is- stop thinking about it. Nobody knows about the future and future should be unpredictable. Searching for the solutions for saving Journalism will just beat your brain out. More you think about it, more you find no answer. The future is future, and nothing else; it is unpredictable. Even if one find a solution which everyone thinks it works, it could be not working.

RAther than searching for something you won't get absolute answer, one should think about how to aquire the skills needed for current Journalism. We know where our Journalism is at right now. But we don't know where it will go and how. SO, just try hard to be a best Journalists, train basic journalism skills such as interviewing and reporting and writing, get to know the uses of digital tools for the Digital Age, and train investigative Journalism skills.

Ad council, preventing reckless driving

WHat kind of coalition/cause and effect relationship?

Ad Council's new PSA for preventing youth's reckless driving uses cause-effect strategies in funny way. For example, in one of the PSA, a driver starts texting as he is driving. Another guy who was sitting in the back-seat told the driver that if the driver did not stop texting, he will scream like a crazy. Another PSA shows a driver who driving fast, and another guy started to make the driver uncomfortable by talking about wired horse topic, and told the driver that if he did not slow down, he will smash his head like a apple.

Thus, the each PSA uses the cause and effect relationship of something will happen if the driver did not stop reckless driving because of something. What interesting about this cause-effect relationship is that causes and effect are not really related. For instance, cause of screaming crazy does not directly relates to the effect of stop reckless driving.

I think this Ad was was successful to persuade people to talk about preventing reckless driving. USually preventing reckless driving Ads show the effect of car accidents, more shocking effect. However, this Ad does not show such shocking effect, but it was much more conversational and nothing shocking incident occurred. RAther, watching this Ad was kind of funny and silly, and that is why I think this Ad was successful in terms of let people talk about the issue. It stands out from other usual reckless driving Ads, and catches the audience' attention.

The whole campaign of Ad council has cause and effect relationship as well. The cause of the campaign is young people driving recklessly. The effect is, therefore, we should have campaign.

The another cause and effect is teens and accidents.

Letter to my brother- explaining cause and effect

Dear Brother,

Hi, how are you? I hope you are doing well. It's been while last time we talked and I can't really say what I wanted to say on the phone so I decided to write to you.

I know you still have wondering whether you should quite college or not.

Well I am telling you, you should quite school right now and start something new. Don't hesitate and don't just let things flow. It won't solve anything, but just makes your situation worse and worse.

You have been failing classes, and lost credits. You suppose to be graduating this year same as me, but you are still sophtmore standing. You are pretty much waisting your time and parents' money. The college is place for those who want to learn something, and it is not a paradise which you can do whatever you want without any interuption. If you do not take any action right now, you will just regret later that you should have quite more earlier.

Quite school and I want you to do something new. For example maybe go abroad or traveling. You know traveling by yourself really change your value. You will see the world which you haven't seen before, and you will realize how much small your world were. Right now you don't want to go school because you are thinking about something that you think it is big deal to you. But go outside and look the world. You will know that how small world you were in, and how small things that you are thinking of.

You just need to have one step forward. You just need to have courage to quite school and walk into the world you never seen. Once you do that, everything will come to you with good faith and your future will be blilliant like a shining star!!!

Weekly Writing 7

Part 1

Creating characters in arguments is important. By creating character, you are inventing ethos in your argument. Thus, self-characterization is the key to make your arguments persuasive. But what kinds of character should we establish? This is very important. If you want to invent ethos and make your argument persuasive, you have to create "Good Character". What do you mean by "Good Character"? It means you have to make a character that has virtue and moral.

Applying this concept of "Good Character" into my own project, if I were to make a credible argument for the future of journalism issue, I will probably use respected authorities' for support of my claim. For example, let's say I wanted to argue that for saving of journalism, the government should not involve. In this case, i will use the Gates Founder's quotes. It will add credibility in my argument because it's well know authority, and it will back up my claim.

Besides establishing "Good Character", "Good Sense" and "Good Will" are necessary for inventing ethos. Arguments which have Good Will will consider the audiences' needs. Arguments with "Good Sense" will demonstrate intelligence, your knowledge and professionally and the sense of you know what you are taking about.

I will use these concepts of Good Will and Good Sense in my own project. Good Will can be established by addressing the information of what bad things will happen to people if government involved in Journalism. Good Sense can be achieved by talking about my own experience with Japanese Journalism; the fact that Japanese journalism has government involvement, and how it affected to me as a citizen.

If I could achieve all of these three "Good" in my argument, it will invent ethos, credibility, and authority, which are all makes persuasive.



Part 2

For this part of assignment, I chose the online community called Open Salone. In this community, the series of blog called "the future of Journalism" pasted by Kafman, is found the members most persuasive, or at least I've found. His blog posts reached hits and picked by Editor's Pick many times. What makes Kafman's blog so successful? What are the distinctive from other blogger? These answers can be found by rhetorical analysing!

I particularly liked his post titled "We must kill press freedom to save it". If you are interested here you can access to his blog: http://open.salon.com/blog/future_of_journalism/2009/08/25/we_must_kill_press_freedom_to_save_it.
In this post, he is criticizing a Los Angels Time's article which argues "The Newspaper should charge its the online contents in order to survive". He points out each parts from Los Angels Times article that is problematic, and argued that LA Time's claim is wrong because charging online contents will not increase its revenue enough. To support his claim, he used external proof, that is documents and statistic numbers of newspapers' revenue ratio. This rhetorical skill works for his audience because his audience are people who are passionate about journalism and already have some knowledge on it. So their needs were intelligence, and Kafman established the Good Sense. His argument used particular language style to engage its audience. His style was not something you see in newspaper or serious magazines, but more casual way and as you read it you feel like he is actually talking to you. I liked his blog series. I think I will keep subscribe it.

Project Description:

Fashion and photography: ideal relationship

According to Baldev Duggal, there is intergal connections between the world of fashion and photography. One of the current problems that challenging fashion world is the avante-garde brands fround around the world Baldev said.

What Baldev is saying are pretty apparent if you look at tJapanese fashion world. One of the characteristic seen in Japanese fashion world is its speed of shifts. In Japanese fashion world, new brand come up and other disappear every day. The brand you bought yersterday might not be found next day. This is why Japanese fashion world does not have hegmony brands like western fashion world, rather they creates bunch of new brands everyday, and put off if it does not get consumers' attention.

This different Japanese retail system answers why Japanese brands are avante-grade. They do not creates solid hegmony brands because they are giving chances to every amature fashion designer. But still, it is difficult to sucess in Japanese fashion world: Most of these brands dissaper befor they get name brands.

Going back to Baldev's argument, he argues that this avante grade fashion brands like in Japan is the reason why we find the connection of photography in our fashion world. The western fashion world has found photography as a solution for beating the cheap forign avante-grade brands in the competing market. Photography with its charactristic of caputuring the moment, caputured the beauty and significance of the particular brands which attract the audience. Thus, the role of photography in fashion world act as advertisment tool.

Fashion's beauty were shown more clearly by photographing even as adding new look of beauty on it. With photography, people became able to see the diffrent aspect of fashion beauty which attracted most of them. Photography, on the other hand, were used its characteristic by fashion brands which opened up more capacities and posibilities of photography. This mutual relation between fashion world and photography has resulted creating new kinds of photography called "fashion photography".

This intergal relationship seen in fashion and photography can be something similar to the ideal relationship of human beings. In our good relationship, we need good partner who can induce you to be better in any aspect of you life as well as you are good influence on the other. As a result, the couple will be able to create a good marrage, good kids and great family together, just like fashion and photography work together situmulatly and create the best products at the end.

Thesis ideas

• What is the relationship between fashion and photography?

• What is photography? Is it Art? Is it record or document? Is it advertisment?

• Controversial issue surrounded a ads photos for the campigne of United Color brand taken by Bamment. Issue of shocking photography.

• Controversial arguments surrounding the Irivng Pen's exotic portrait.

• Controverial arguments surrounding the nature of documentary photography. Is it "violating" the subjects? IS photographing poor unethical?

MAP final draft: The Future of Journalism Argumnents

Introduction:
(1) Research question or thesis
Lots of newspaper companies shut down and lots of journalists lost their jobs in past couple years. Because of this situation, the traditional journalism now faces the biggest problems they have ever had. Over its existence and survival, many scholars and medians have discussed the different ways of saving the traditional journalism. In this essay I will explore the rhetorical process in each argument to try to find whether the speakers used the available means of persuasion to evoke the intended response from audience or not.
(2) A description of the artifacts and its contexts, Justification of the analysis
The 4 arguments including- Steve Jobs from CEO of Apple Inc, Hal Varian from Google Inc, and John Kerry from government - are best for the method of criticism used in this situation. Steve Job argues that attracting its audience is the way to save traditional journalism. Hal Varian argues that increasing ad revenue will save them from crisis. John Kerry argued that in order to save traditional journalism, government involvement is necessary.
Some people might ask: why do need to analyze these arguments? First or foremost, does the future of traditional Journalism matter? Well the answer is “yes”. Believe or not, the future of traditional journalism is important issue for all of Americans. Journalism has been part of American life and supported our society more than 100 years. The reason why we can access to reliable news is because of traditional journalism. If the traditional journalism somehow disappears, that means end of the nation. There will be no nation exists without communication, news, and information (unless you are in North Korea or some other exceptional country). These 4 arguments are worthwhile for analyzing because they are being discussed out there today. This entire analysis contributes to better understanding of the best way of saving traditional journalism as well as saving our own nation.
(3) Description of a method of criticism (?)
For this analysis, the neo-Aristotelian criticism is the best theory to use. The significance of neo-Aristotelian analysis is that it compares the means of persuasion by understanding the inventions. The purpose of this critical theory is to find out whether or not the speakers use the best rhetorical techniques to evoke intended response from its audience. Its purpose is not, obviously, to discover if the speaker succeeded in the persuading his audience or not. With the neo-Aristotelian analysis, the situation will be outlined first. Then audiences will be specified as well as their decision is defined. Finally, choice and arrangement of persuasive factors including- logical, psychological, and character logical- will be revealed and evaluated against the guideline of the rhetoric.
(4) History:
Before we begin, we should look at the background of the issue because it will help us having better understanding of what we are about to do. Why people began talking about the future of traditional Journalism? What lies on the background of saving them? The origin of failing traditional journalism is not simple. Its causes are very complicated, and it is mixture of two or more factors. For example, the first and foremost discussion about the future of journalism started almost 10 years ago. When the Internet came, some media people worried about existence of newspaper. Newspaper industries have been surviving until now by transforming themselves with digital contents. However, they lost its audiences as well as advertisement revenue. As the recession gets worse from couple years ago, many newspaper industries has began to shut down and employees lost their jobs. Due to this complicated background, the solution for saving the traditional Journalism has not met yet.

Analysis: Applying the canons
(1) Invention
Invention is important rhetorical element to look during analysis. During his presentation of its high-tech device called iPad, Steve Jobs used mixture of internal proofs- logos and pathos. Here is how he invented his arguments:
During the demo, he showed New York Times article on the iPad screen. Then simply he just began to play around with device; opening up an article, enrage images, flip the pages etc. There were no words. But audience at the conference was all attracted to Jobs’ performance.
(From Apple’s Website)
The visual images have more emotional effects than words, and Jobs knew that. He showed how iPad can attract audience by demonstrating attracted audience at the conference. He continued "therefore, high-tech device such as iPad will revolutionize and save the traditional journalism industries" by using logical appeal. Ethos however, did not work out well in Jobs argument. His character of being "CEO's Apple Inc" played negatively because it made audience think he is just trying to sell his products for his company's benefits. Thus, he lost his credibility and honesty because of his character.

Meanwhile, Hal Varian used external proof-documents from Newspaper Association of America- along with logics. He used data from NAA document. For example in his statement, Varian stated data such as "Typically, 53% of newspaper spending goes to traditional printing for distribution, and 35 % of them goes to core function of newsgathering". Other external proof are seen in the quote "only 39% internet users surveyed by Pew said they spend time online looking for news" and "currently online ads bring in only 5 % of newspaper ad revenue” stated in his argument. With these external proof and data from NAA documents, Varian criticized Steve Jobs’ argument. Varian concluded the argument; even though industries could attract audience by high-tech device, its users will not see the news with the device. Varian’s argument for how to save the traditional newspaper industries is to get ads revenue by increasing qualities of online ads. Therefore, he continued, Google Inc can help newspaper industries and improve their qualities of ads. Thus, Varian used external proof and gained credibility in his argument; he also used inductive reasoning: series of specific data is used to draw a conclusion in which the solution is to increase the qualities of online ads.

Like Varian, John Kerry also used many rhetorical skills of invention at the government hearing. One of the significant parts is the opening remark of his statement:
“A brass plaque on a wall at Columbia University’s School of Journalism bears the words of legendary newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer: ‘Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together.’ If we take seriously this notion that the press is the forth states, or the fourth branch of government, it is time we examine the future of journalism in the digital Information Age and what it means to our Republic and to our democracy”
(From website of Senate John Kerry, Newsroom)

Here, Kerry’s rhetorical choice is concerned with which person’s quotes to use. He quoted from the most credible person in journalism field, Joseph Pulitzer, and this choice gives credibility, as well as attention gather. Another significant rhetoric he used is that he talked about alternative solution for saving traditional journalism: cross media ownership, and local web-only news style. He then pointed out some elements of why these alternative solutions do not work. Kerry used inductive reasoning: He first lay out bunch of examples- both internal and external proof, which illustrates the changing of economical society and the emergence of new form of media. Then he draws to general conclusion. Here are some of the examples he used:
“In the last eight years, we have gone from zero bloggers to more than 70 million…just look at the way Janis Krums, a New York City ferry passenger, broke the news that flight 1549 out of La Guardia had landed in the Huston River- he took a picture himself and tweeted the feed to an audience of thousands”
(From website of Senate John Kerry, Newsroom)
Thus, Kerry used a specific events happened in the past as an evidence for showing how the media is changing. Then he continues:
“Google topped $21.7 billion in advertising revenue in 2008, but the news it provides is an aggregate from free news sources/ Craigslist, which provides free classified ads on-line, gets about one billion visits a month, costing newspapers billions of dollars a year”
(Quoted from website of Senate John Kerry, Newsroom)
These examples are external proof such as documents, which allow him to illustrate the condition of changing society due to the emergence of new media. Then he draws to the conclusion saying the new business model of newspaper industries are needed in this new society; but many solutions are failed; and therefore, government involvement is called for its solution. This inductive reasoning with mixture of different kinds of evidence he used worked well in his statement.

Conclusion and implication
In exploring the rhetorical process in each arguments, my attempts to find whether or not the speakers used the available means of persuasion to evoke the intended response from audience was revealed by analyzing with the method of Neo-Aristotelian criticism. As a result of this analysis, it showed that the speakers use the bunch of different rhetoric techniques in order to propose the solution for saving traditional journalism. Steve Jobs from Apple Inc. argued that iPad will save the traditional Journalism; Hal Varian from Google Inc. argued that increasing the qualities of online ads will save its future; John Kerry, a government official argued that government involvement will save them from the crisis. Thus, by re-constructing its contexts and applying the canons, the analysis shows the special connection between speakers and their arguments. That connection is the fact that what each speaker argues for the traditional journalism is based on their interests, belief, and profits. This significant finding from the analysis allows us to enter into the persuasion of my proposal in which how to save traditional Journalism: In order to save traditional Journalism, we need to hold a discussion forum, and individuals are needed to actively participate in the conversation.

Why Can't Women Ski Jump- WHere the stasis lies in the argument?

In the article "Why Can't Women Ski Jump", Claire raised questions for the situation which Olympic does not offer ski jump for women. She disagree some degree with IOC but in some degree she agrees. And she argues that it is likely impossible to include it.

She shows the unfairness and contradiction of IOC by stating the fact that ski jump are not offered to women although all games are offered both men and women. It is contradiction and discrimination.

However Claire also points out how women's ski jump does not apply to its "technical requirement". Also she described the difficulties and realities in the attempt of including women's ski jumper.

With this association of concepts, she created her conclusion that it is impossible to include women's ski jump in Olympic. This association of concepts and the conclusion is stasis in her essay; the degree of difficulties the women ski jumpers faces in contradiction of IOC's announcement.

Debates Team: Abolishing private school?

I agree with Chris's value which shows importance on equal educational opportunities for everyone. That is why I vote for him. However, I am not 100 % agree with his proposal. Even equal education chance is important, it does not mean avoiding private school gives equal education opportunities. Only public education does means equal education opportunities, but mixture of private and public school also can create equal educational opportunities in society.

For instance, in Japan we have both public schools and private schools. We have public college and private college as well as high schools and junior high school, or even private kindergardens. But compare to U.S., the numbers of such private kindergardens or high school are few, and public schools are majority. So why can Japanese education system of mixture of public and private keep its equal education opportunities? Well, the ration of public and private school is one answer. Unlike U.S., most of kids goes to public school, and kids who go to private school are rare. So private school does not take opportunities over from public school.

Another reason is the quality of public school and private school are same. Basically no matter you go private or public school, what you learn in the school is same. So in Japan, just because you go to private school does not mean you have better education. That said, whether going private or public school, everyone has equal educational opportunities.

Thus, after debating, I think it is not the matter of avolishing private or the other. The solution they should look at is not that point. Rather, they should discuss how to improve the standard American education system.

Movie Review: Castro's Life

This weekend, my boyfriend asked me to watch this Al Pacino mivoe called "Castro's Life".

My first thought is: It wouldn't be better than Scarface. Whatever the new film comes out, people compare Al Pacino's film with the legend film Scarface. I didn't wanted to feel dissapointment after wacthing the film.

I knew it would be disappointment because I heard the plots and characters are almost same as in Scarface. According to the DVD package, Castro's life is a story of drug dealer, who lives in New York. It is just Scarface in 20 centry version.

But despite of my negative thoughts, Al Pacino did not let me down. His talent and carisma attracted me just as much as he attracted me in the Scarface.

The story and characters were same, however, the two stories had totally different tastes. It wasn't just a 20 centry Scarface. In Castro's life, there are many elements that were'nt seen in Scarface. For example, it's love. Scarface is pretty much focusing on drug dealer and how he became rich from poor, and how he declined from thr rich to pig. It was all about money, power, and drugs. And it is hard to related youself with the characters because it is a little too unrealistic.

On the other hand, in "castro's life", you will feel more connection with the character. It is more focus on the love, humanity and relationship. While it is story about drug dealer, there are love elements in the film. And that the part where Al Pacino's talent can be seen. Al Pacino acted a character of one drug dealer who lives in New York trying to start new life. It was not just one drug dealer's life. The character confronts with struggle in society, conflicts within himself, friendship and betrays, and love with one woman. These humanistic elements that everyone can relate to is the elements that makes "Castro's life" distinguishes from Scarface.

It is not just a replica of "Scarface". As good as the "Scarface" was, the "Castro's life" is one of the greatest film of all the time.

Social Ideology in Japan: Failling Young Generation

Selecting artifact
Japanese Newspaper Editorial article addressing young people need to be more enegetic.
Analyzing an artifact
1. Reconstructing the context
a. Rhetor: Yomiuri shinbun is a more conservative newspaper. Rhetorical philosphey is..... Around this time, many there were some kind of ideology that young people were seen as failer in Japan. Yomiuri is trying to show how young people are in danger and need to change.
b. Occasion:When this rhetoric occured, Japan had ideology that young are looser. Many politicisan, famous writer started to argue how young people are not active, and they need to change. They are insulting young people. Due to ressesion, there are so many young peopel who doesn't have jobs and young homless too. These economic and social background made the ideology.
c. Audience: The audience is people who reads the newspaper, meaning, people in Japan, but not young kids, but mostly adult, college students, or maybe some highschool student as well. So althought Yomiuri is talking about school kids, they are not talking to them, but talking to adult to make them to help the young people. Newspaper are seen to be credible, but some people criticize Yomiuri because it is conservative. Audience has knowledge about young's decline because that is cultural ideology. Most of adult agree with Yomiuri's aticle because of cultural ideology. And since the Yomiuri argu that this si national danger, audience's attitude will be more serious.
2. application of the five canons to the artifact
a.Invention. External proof: such as testimonies and statistics. The evidence works for the audience's nationalistic belief.
These evidence is consisted to the thesis? No. It shows evidece that shows Young's un-patoriotic attitude, and how young people are so decling and disappointing. However, the article missing the point that adults are the one who teaches tyoung. Article basically use young people as scape goat to try to unit patorioric idea.
b.Organization.
c.Style.
d.Memory
e.Delivery
3. assessing the impact of the artifact on the audience
Formulating a research question
Did the rhetor used the avairable means of persuasion to evoke the intended response from the audience?
Writing Essay
Introduction:
Since couple years ago, Japan has hold controversial debate over the nature of young generation. Many famous writes, politcisian, commentators has been talking about how young people has been changed as generation changes. As and for the sake of the controversies heat up, media started to write about this issue. In this essay, I will explore media’s arguments on the young generation issue to try to find the appeal of media.
Justification:
Although this issue and my analysis narrow the audience, it is important for people live in Japan. For it is social ideologu developed recent, we don’t really know the truth. Also, analyzing media’s article is particulary important because media are those who has power to shape social ideologies.
There are four articles I picked: Yomiuri, Asahi, Mainichi, and Kyoto newspapers.
Historical Contexts
This social ideologies comes from Japanese economic and cultural background. Japan has fall in recession around 2000. Many young people become homeless. A lot of young lives with their parents, bnot work, receive some pocket money, and do their hobbies. Also, Japanese unique culture of Otaku is another background of this issue. Otak, is seen a lot in young people, and they like to stay in home, play video game, and non-social. Therefore, they have some negative image in society. And most of them are seen in young people. Due to these background, many adults looking and said that how young people has changed from past. The one big reasn why media started to write about young people is based on one incident, which young man, a Otaku, murdered. From this issue, how media look young becomes obvious and against. Since media started to report, more people started to argues, and it finally created it as social ideology.
Yomiuri Weekly in fact talked report the incident, and it shows subjectivity. Although it is newspaper report which expected to be objective, the reporter argued his subjectivity criticinging young people . He argued that by using 2 quotation.

my interests area in writing

I am interested in writing about....
Healthy goods, about the country life, about the Japanese traditional cultures, Japanese historical buildings, Japanese traditional foods, something wired thing that I can notice about Japan from outside, documentary photography, fashion photography, high fashion and design etc..

what is photography to me?

i"m passionate about taking: Family picture, Portrait- human and their way of life- humanize them, show their character, attitude in human, life is so much complicated than one demension of life seen in photograph. getting little tiny moment of individual which is part of their life. When we photograph something, we see different aspect of the subjects which we couldnt see from our own eyes (from Annie), war and poverty, traveling photography, commercial photography, Archtectual photography, wedding photography, Street picture.

Movie Review

There is a shrine called Yasukuni in Tokyo Japan today, and it is not just an ordinal shrine. Japanese, chinese and Korean are fighting over this Yasukuni shrine for many years. The fact that it have both war criminals and war victims in the shrine is the main controversial reason. For chinese and korean, praying at Yasukuni shrine means insulting their ancestors and justifying the war. Due to its rich tradition and history however, the shrine still exists in Tokyo, Japan.

The film "Yasukuni", directed by chinese director Li is the first movie which address to this controversy. Although the film was about such touchy topic, I think Li did great job and it is worth to see it.

Most of the part, the film shows what is going on in Yasukuni shrine today. It highlight some of the shocking imagese such as Japanese nationalists marching at shrine in old military cloth, the sense that a Japanese student who was thought as chinese student were beaten by bunch of old people at the shrine, and a American with his national flag driven out from shrine. Also, the film highlights one old sord maker, who used to make sord during the war. The film sometims show the sense of him making sord.

The one reason why I like this film and suggest you to see it is because its openness. Although the film shows shocking images, which could imply sense of Japanese nationalistic, and gives audience the negative image about Japanese and Yasukuni shine, Li never gave an argument directly. In terms of fairness, I think the film was sucessful, and therefore, it makes the film interesting.

Susan- "I will never know why"

At the beginning, her character was Dylan's mom, and she shift it to character as supporter of suicide. I like how she told her story of Dylan and the how the shooting event happened. She talked about how she felt when the event occard, and that makes audience into her story. And also her detailed descriptions make the story interesting, and kind of suspense feeling.

She talked about how she feel sorry for other people who Dylan killed. She put objection that others might blame her being monster parent. She argued it by saying she is also victim of the event. She gave a lot of fact how society, newspaper, radio treated her as monster parents, and saying it was parent's fault that Dylan killed. She said she felt humiliation. I think these things bring audience sympathies with her, even Dylan did bad thing, and could be her fault some part. She is reducing her responsibilities as Dylan's mom by telling how society treated her bad. But still she shows she think that she has some fault.

She talked about Dylan wanted to kill himself, but didn't wanted to tell anybody. That brings her to argue, it is important to notice the signal in people. If she could notice Dylan's signal, she said, she could prevent the trategic event. Therefore, it is important for her to support suicidal prevention organization. This is how she shift her character of preventor of suicide from mom of killer.

Thoughts on: Hook-Up Culture

"Hook-Up Culture" written by Jack Grimes is a writing about a creative work because he analysis the Hook-Up Culture with narrative and story. His main argument about Hook-Up Culture is it is "where is it come from? And is it here to stay"; hook up culture should be gone.

His essay looks like well-developed and could persuade people to think hooking up culture is not good things. However, there are some elements in his essay that is not so compelling to us as persuasive. For example, when he defined Hook-Up Culture at the beginning as "an environment that expects casual sexual encounters that do not necessarily lead to anything further", the question is risen; how about one experienced a hook up and later on it leaded to something meaningful to him/her. All hook up is not meaningless, but there are some case that brings meaningful life. For example, my friend and her boyfriend has been together for almost 4 years and they love each other so much and they are thinking to get married next year. They are now happy, but how they met was hooking up. Thus, hooking up culture can lead something meaningful or happiness in many cases.

Also, he said "a women who embrace hooking up culture is simply making it easier for guys to treat her as a sex objects". I felt this is kind of racist opinion. Behind this argument, he has assumption that man can sees women as sex object whereas women don't. I disagree with this idea. SOme women see men as sex object too. I know a lot of people who just want to have good time with a lot of people, and not be in relationship.
