Journal Topic - Due: Friday, July 27

Now, you need to think about what message Howard Beale (the speaker)
is trying to tell. It's fairly obvious. What message did you take
away from this?

TV is bad for us. TV is not truth. It just show up stupid things.

Is this message more or less relevant today than 30 years ago when
this movie came out?

This message is more relevant today. TV station just wants to earn
lots of money from ad, so they just want to show up sensational things.


Is this a message for American audiences only, or is it a message that
could be spread in your home country? Why or why not?

Of course,it is a message that could be spread in my country, but
American audiences have more problems.

Does this make you want to see the movie, or does it just sound like
a boring old man trying to tell everyone how to live their life?

It is fun. I like ironical movie.

The Simpsons

1. Summarize the Simpsons episode.

One day, Lisa tried to solve puzzle. Everybody solved that puzzle
very easily except Lisa. Moreover, she forgot to do her project.
She worried that she would be stupid the same as her father. She
asked her grandpa, he said that she had the Simpsons genes, so she
would be stupid. She tried to get information from a doctor, but
she didn't get anything. She went to museum and jazz bar, and enjoyed
high culture. She went to TV station. She said that enjoy your brain.
Finally, she learned about the Simpson gene. Only "Y" chromosome is
problem.

2. Which is more important in human development of personality and
intellegence: genes or environment?

I think environment is more important in human development of
personality and intellegence.

It is amazing!!

Writing a CD Review

I listened to "Classical Music in Flims". It is played by

London Symphony Orchestra. I liked that CD, and

I've known most of the music. Especially,

I loveJ. Pachelbel "Canon in D major"

and J.S Bach aria from "Goldberg Variations".

I often listen these music in Korea. I like classical music

because these are very peaceful and beautiful.

If I listen to classical music, I can meditate and calm

myself. I want to recommend that CD to you.

Journal

If you wanted to tell somebody about yourself by sending a package,

I would send a package with Kimchee, a camera, and a watch.

First of all, I want to send Kimchee because I want to show up what

is Korean traditional food. Korean made Kimchee long time ago, and

it is still very poplular. Kimchee is very health for our body.

Second, I want to send a camera. We usually use a camera in special

day because we want to memorize that. Humans memory is a limit,

and we cannot memorize everything. You see your house, your

neighborhood, small stores, and something else. You try to take

a picture these things. Although it is nothing to special for you now,

but someday it will have been your precious memory.

Finally, I want to send a watch. Everytime is very precious for us,

and we cannot buy a time. Every minutes and every seconds are

very important. A watch can help you do not waste your time.

These are my reasons for sending a package with Kimchee, a camera,

and a watch.

What does it mean to be rich?

We can see rich people’s life on TV everyday. After see that,
everybody wants to be rich. If you are being rich, you can buy
anything you want. But does being rich mean just who has lots
of money?
In my opinion, if who is very happy and enjoys the life, it
means to be rich, too. Money is just temporary, but happiness is
permanent. Of course, we will try to realize being rich, but being
rich means just only one thing "money" from what time. Men always
confuse between material and spiritual things, and choose material
things. We often watched news about suicide of rich people. Why
do they suicide? The problems are always depression. It means
although they have lots of money, they are not happy. In other word,
they just realized earning lots of money, and did not realize happiness.
Indeed, money cannot make you happy forever. If being rich
can make us happy, it has inside our mind "happiness".

BBQ Party

Last Saturday, I had BBQ party with my old classmates at TIEP.
We was having party in my friend's apartment complex. There
are a few swimming pools and BBQ grills. We wanted to use BBQ
grill in the swimming pool, but there was another party. So we
changed another BBQ grill place. That place was not bad, but it's
just too many fries in there. Also, it is too hot. Although it is not
very good condition, we had a good time. My friend prepared lots
of food ; for example, we ate beef, chicken wings, shrimp, sausage,
sweet potato, salad, beer, fajita, and noodle. Also, I cooked for them
Korean food "Spicy Rice Cake(Dok Bok Ki)". Everybody said it was
very delicious. I was really full, and I felt the brick in my stomach.
Also, we talked a lot. We have never met together since we finished
level 120. So we have been talking for 5 hours. I like my friends.
Everybody is friendly and kind. Nexy Monday, we will meet
together again because of Karen's birthday. I hope our relactionship
can keep long time.

The Simpsons

1.Summarize the episode.

Some company created a new holiday because they wanted to sell more
product to people. The name of holiday is "Love Day". Marge bought lots
of things for Loveday. Homer threw it away in the fulled trash can. Finally,
Homer knocked it over, and he took it out. But he got in a fight with garbage
men, and they cut off their service. They started to throw away the trash
in their garden. Gradually, it was filled lots of trash by them. Marge wrote
a letter of apology of the Sanitation Commissioner, and they cleaned up
their garden. Hower went to CityHall to argue with Sanitation Commissioner,
and he decided to run for Sanitation Commissioner. First time, nobody likes
him, but his campaign slogan "Can't someone else do it." is made to happy
everybody. He became a Sanitation Commissioner, but he spent his entire
year's budget in a month. Because of money, he bought garbage from other
cities, and he buried trash under the ground. As a result of Homer's solution,
the city was destroyed by trash, so they have to move another city.

2.Give your opinions on the episode.

It was very interesting. I think it is possible to happen if we throw lots of
trash out like now. During a week, I checked my garbage list. I was
surprised because I threw out lots of trash more than I thought. I have
never thought that. My action is very unconscious. I think everybody is
same as me. Of course, my trash is not too much. But if collecting is
everybody's trash, it isn't small quantity anymore. We have to know
that is very dangerous to the Earth. If we are not aware now, someday
the Earth filled the trash whole land.

3.Holidays in America

Holidays start long time ago. The purpose of creating the holiday is
commenoration such as independent. But holidays are created by many
companies in 20 century. Valentine Day is a classic example. Chocolate
companies always said to buy chocolate for your lover on February 14.
That day hasn't any special meaning. They just want to sell more product
to us, and they incite our mind to use love. We have to know that is nothing
special, and have to think about what is the purpose of the holiday.
