blog 7 : Reflecion and Evaluation

   I think that I have done pretty much well, but I still have a grammar problem. I try to keep on improving myself and prepare for CAT-W test. I am facing with this class a lot of challenges because my professor gives us a lot of work to do with my assignments on time, and I have to give a comment to the other blog. That is very helpful to me because I have to read what the other person writes about the essay is good or not, and also I have a good idea what they write. I do not know about my essay is good or not because sometime I write my essay that I do not know how to response. I am not sure that my point of view and critical thinking are suitable for the ideas of writer. Sometimes I feel that I miss the author idea because English is my second language and idea is not the same what the author wants to say.

Blog 6 : Review Socrates' and Plato's Allegory

We are living in the world, but we do not know what the world is meaning to us. Once we were born, we knew that our lives were meaningful and so romatic to live in the world. Sometimes, we think about our philosophy is too narrow and can not follow the Scorate's idea. I think that what my stage but I do not exactly know who I am and what I am doing because philosophy is too difficult to understand our lives. Someone thought that they lived in the small world because they were born in their own country and died in there. They did not know about the real world and also did not see the beautiful things surrounding them. They were holding their old philosophy and no one could not persuade them to go somewhere as well as look  for somethin new things.
 Scorate said that we are following our shadows, but we need to see the actual world that what happen the outside. We need to open the eye and look at the sky and sun, for when we are staying inside the cave, how we can see the beautiful world around us. I think that most people are still chained in their lives and they do not want to change their lives anymore. First of all, for me, I do not go anywhere and do like to stay at home because I do not like to deal with the people. If I live alone, I will think about something and stay in my small room like a small world but I am happy with my life. I think that no one will bother me and I have a dream of my future plan so that I want to forward my goal. Some friends told me that I did not live like that because I have to deal with many people and step forward my plan to get my goal. If I live in the world, I have to open my eye and see what happen to the world. If I do not look outside what happening that how I can decide and what I know to do my next step. I have to learn about the actual things that what is right or wrong and can not follow the other shadow.
I agree with the Scorate's philosophy and this alert to me that I do not live in my small world. I have to go around the world if I have to and I can open my mind and listen what the people say to me. The most  important things are that we have to break our chain and think about what we have to do our future plans. Our powers and souls are courage to be successful of our lives that give us the Scorate's lightening. 

Blog 5 ; "Allegory of the Cave" Summary

"The Allegory of the Cave" written 360 B.C.E; translated by Benjamin Jowett told us what Socrates was talking with Glaucon. Socrates said that our human beings was an educated or uneducated person because  they did not think about long way and also tied their legs and necks chained like prisoners . They would know their own shadows between the fire and the wall , but they did not guess what the shadow should come next sitting in front of the fire. Glaucon agreed with Socrates because they could only see their shadows and they did not know what the truth image before them. If they looked back their necks round and walked towards the light after breaking their chains, they would see a nature of beautiful world. Socrates explained that he saw the light at the outside and discovered the reality such as the sun, the moon, the star and the water. He told them that the season and the years that gave the people in the visible world to behold the whole things.  He tried to persuade his followers to observe the passing shadows and made the decision of their future with honors and glories. He claimed that the prisoners could imagine their understanding and think about what was true or false, right or wrong so that their souls and powers could see what happen in the world.

Blog 4 : "Hype" Workshop and Revision

According to the article "Hype", advertisements are the most popular of the mental pollutants. The rate of marketing message displayed on the TV commercial every hours, and people could see the advertisements every where while they waited the buses, billboards, and stadiums. The advertisements attracted to the people because they wanted to sell the products as much as they could. People could see and hear the advertisements as they went to the shopping or the bank. There was no way to run out of the advertisements in our lives at the moments. When I read " Hype", I agreed with the author "Kalle Lasn" because I believed that what the author said "Hype" to the people and why she chose it. 

I read the essay titled "Hype", written by the Kalle Lasn tells us about the advertisements made the people as the mental illness. Writer tells us that we have tons of billion commercials advertisement while we are watching TV and our brain will be filled with many commercials. Moreover, we can see ads many places whenever we go;for example, we fill our car at the gas station,bank and supermarket. We could not run away even if we did not want to see the advertisements, and hear the kid singing like " the Oscar Meyer wiener song".Whenever we watched the drama, the advertisements always showed 15 minutes on the TV. That was interrupted to the people to watch the TV; on the other hand, the commercial  was influenced to the kids because they liked to watch the new advertisements that attracted to them. Therefore, our people can see the advertisements that we go anywhere,as the commercial advertisements are the most powerful in the marketing today.

The author said that "Every day and estimated 12 billion display ads, 3 million radio commercials, and more than 200,000 TV commercials are dumped into North America's collective unconscious. These days the advertisements are overwhelming to the people because commercial companies are improving their products and introduced to the people using the advertisements. For example, they produced the new products, but the people did not know about how they are good and how much effective on their products. First of all, the commercials advertising let the people know their products are good to use and cheaper than the other products. Especially, North America could not control the commercial,and the rate of increasing advertisements were spreading all over the world. Whenever we are watching TV or listening to the radio, the the advertising announced their products are good to the people. Every time I saw the new products and advertisements everywhere I went; however, I did not remember many advertisements. That was why the marketing company tried to reach their products to the people,as most people could see their product message or logo whenever they recognized and remembered them. 

 "Your kids watch Pepsi and Snickers ads in the classroom." expressed the author. For instance, the kids liked to watch the advertisements most of the time because they liked them that they could not forget and wanted to buy them. Therefore, the company tried to reach the kids to see their products easily in the classroom and also set up the interactive screens so that we could see the advertisements while we were shopping in the supermarket.  My niece and nephew always wanted to buy the things after they saw the advertisements,but my sister was disappointed the advertisements because that was affected to her budget. She could not buy whenever they showed up a new advertisements and afford them. Moreover, the advertisements are spoiled the people, for some are not good for the health. However, we could not run away from the product message and could hear like the kid singing "the Oscar Meyer wiener song." 

In conclusion, a company executive use the most powerful micro marketing and spread the advertisements all over the world. We can see commercial advertising whenever we go and sick of many advertisements. Obviously, we cannot run not to see the advertisements,and they play the significant roles in our lives.
