Summary Paragraph 3: The Meatrix II 1/2

        The main idea of this film is about the negative things of dairy factories. Baiscally, the workplaces are very dangerous for workers who are paid low income but work in a very unsafty place. It also mentioned that a factory can produce five thousand cows per day and all fast food nation use those meat. Morever, it states that meat packing is the most dangerous job in the nation. To get more profit, workers are forced to work very fast without safty. Then, there are manures in the meat and e coli, a kind of bacteria in the lower intestine.

Summary Paragraph 2: The Meatrix: Revolting

The thesis of this film is the comparing of wonderful family farm and recent awful factory farm. In the past, animals are very delighted and healthy by eating natural grass in big fields, baby calves are always with mommy cows and people got their milk by using the human’s hands. Nowadays, everything is replaced by machines. Some animals are spent their entire life in a factory farm in which not only they cannot see the light but also they are placed in a specific place; can’t move or go around. Although they are feed antibiotic, they cannot be healthy because of their terrible living conditions. Business people who know only about their profit make the products as much as they can by using RBGH, an artificial growth hormone. In addition, they also saw the mad cow disease known as bovine spongiform encepholopathy (BSE).

Summary Paragraph 1: The Meatrix

I agree the meatrix is a very educated film. The main idea of the meatrix is about a pig named Leo that doesn’t know about the reality of his life. He has his normal life in a family farm and he maybe think that is very fantastic. Every day he spends his time eating and relaxing. Meal is always ready for him. Moopheus, who knows a lot about him, comes and try to explain him about meatrix. The question is where animal products come from and where the meat is. After he took the read pill, Moopheus was going to show him how the truth. He explained more about the animal cruelty, antibiotic resistant germs, massive pollution and destroyed communities. Moreover, he mentioned that their group is going to stop the world from such things in order to escape from the meatrix.

Practice CAT #3: The Net Is the Real World

According to the article, the main idea is about a guy who committed suicide because of being invaded his privacy. Basically, 18-year-old Tyler Clementi  jumped from the top of the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River due to the two Rutgers University students’ invasion of privacy charges with webcam. Without someone’s approval, it would commit a crime in New Jersey if somebody shares or looks at sex acts of someone. One of the co-director said that event happened not because of technology but inhumanity. People are used to doing or saying something in cyberspace that is far from the real world but nowadays, the internet seems like reality not only in several places but also for the rest of the world. But cyber bullying can affect the inner mind that can feel worse than outer wounds as cyber attack can get a big audience and it can forever haunt the victim. Clementi’s death is one of many current instants of young bullying people leading to that kind of end.

As my opinion, I strongly disagree that the internet is reality because how we can say it is real without seeing in the face-to-face or without talking with each other ordinarily. If people don’t have eye contacts cannot judge their faces, how can we know whether they are saying the truth or not? The fact that people do everything on online or chat with their friends seems like reality but actually it is one of the artifacts. So some people misuse the internet in order to do cyber bullying such as plain being mean, defamation and so on that is not good for anybody. Some people use the net as a kind of obstacle such as if they lie or they do or curse somebody bad things, the other side can do nothing. Thus maybe some people are very fond of communicating each other in the net. I experienced an unforgettable event in my life. When I started using the net when I was young, there was someone who I got to know in the net. Every time I used the net, he was there so we accidently spent a lot time having a small talk. He told me about everything of him including his age, his hobbies and so on. Later on, I got to know that he laid a lot of his biography. When I dated him outside to make sure everything I know, he always refused to come and never showed up. Eventually, I took lesson on it and got to understand that the net would never be reality at all. It is true that the net is one of the artifacts in our world.

Practice CAT # 2: The Cyborg Advantage

                  The most interesting idea in this article is being a team with human and machine smarts. First of all, a couple of amateurs used run-of-the-mill PCs and inexpensive apps in order to get the overall winner in online tournament. Next, the most wonderful entities on the earth are average-brained people who are literally good at combining their abilities with machines’.

                I believe that humans are smarter than machines because humans made every machine. Without human, there isn’t going to have machines. According to some games such as chess, it is true that humans are won by machines. Humans have endless developing brains that can think without limiting. But machine smarts are limited. As long as they don’t have updated programs or new software, they will be gone one day. Humans invented lots of machines in order to save their time and energy. On the other hand, they make them easy for doing a lot of stuffs such as people can surf in the internet and don’t need to spend the whole day to gather information what they want. Therefore, we can’t say machines are smarter than humans because people can control every step of machine that they invented.  In the same way, IBM’s supercomputer would win people at chess only few times but not forever. Everything machines aware in their memory is put in their brains by human. It’s far from comparing with human brains and doesn’t make sense at all. In fact, machines are such helping devices for people to make them easy, convenient and saving time or energy.

A Coppertop's Life Artifacts # 3 MAGIC

 

           As people are mankind who are very curious about interesting things, no wonder magic is popular all over the world. People are fond of being deceived by magic beautiful tricks. They willingly spend a lot of money to watch the created impossible, supernatural things in many kind of places such as on the stage or platform. Actually, magic is a kind of illusion that doesn't exist. For example, magicians deceive audiences in many different ways like a rabbit from an empty hat, vanishing even status of liberty, transforming a lady to a tiger, a woman swan in half, crossing the Great Wall from its wall and so on. None of them is real and many magical routines use combination of effects. It is just a performing art that entertains audiences by creating interesting illusions. Magic is so secretive and keeping the secrets preserves the mystery of professional magicians. To be a member of professional magicians' organizations, they require a commitment to the Magician's Oath that may vary in which a member never reveals the secrets of magic to non-magicians. As long as magic is secretive, people will be still interested in it that is one of the artifacts. 

A Coppertop's Life Artifacts # 2 BOLT

                  This is one of the famous Walt Disney animation movies that talked about the actor dog named "Bolt". Bolt is the special dog who is trained for the films not knowing that he is trained. He grew up in the particular world called Hollywood in which you can see everything that exists all over the world but reality. Indeed, Poor Bolt doesn't know what his real life is and thinks all his energy and power are existent. He grew up in a kind of studio called his home. Everyday he lives and everything he does are not for his own life. He communicates with people from movies and he has his enemies that are not real enemies. To receive a more realistic performance, the TV show's producers have deceived Bolt his entire life, arranging the filming in such a way that Bolt believes the television show is real and he really has superpowers. He fails to break through a window, knocking himself unconscious all the way he finds his beloved girl "Penny" when he mistakenly believes Penny has been kidnapped by the villain. Later on, he starts to notice that his superpower is not working. Finally, Bolt realizes he is a normal dog and on the way home, he learns to enjoy typical dog activities. He is told his Hollywood life is fake and there is no real love for him there. He refuses to believe that Penny doesn't love him. Lastly, he arrives and reunites with her and enjoy their new life together. This film is really fantastic and we can compare it with the Truman Show. Those present the false reality in our life.

A Coppertop's Life Artifacts # 1 INTERNET

              Nowadays, people are communicating with each other by internet. They fall in love with unseen people on online. Some of them take the whole day to chat or talk to a person who they've never seen in outside. It is true that they can see, listen to each other on online but actually, that's not the real thing. For example, I did feel interested in a person from internet who I've never seen him outside. As long as we chatted and talked, he said he was interested in and liked me. He told me everything about him. And I admitted that I slightly believed in him. One the other hand, I didn't totally believe in him because I've never seen him outside. We chatted at least five hours a day and sometimes, we talked on the phone. Later on, I got to know that one thing he said was not true. He lied his age. It was hard to predict his age if I didn't see his face in outside. I knew only one thing what he lied but I hadn't known the any other things that weren't true. That has been the one I encountered and I believe there must have many events like my case. Some are worse than me. For instant, one of my friends got to know the one from a foreign country from internet. They fell in love and tried to meet outside each other. Then when they literally met outside, they were still font of each other and arranged to marry at the same time. After that, the guy went back to his country a few months later after their wedding ceremony. He said he would go first and call my friend later when he settled down. But he never showed up nor called my friend for years. Later on, my friend got to know that he married another woman in his country. I would say it was very ridiculous. I really didn't know who was right or wrong in the case but finally, people might as well blame on my friend who dared to believe in the one from the internet that is far from the real things. As we don't know the one's real background, biography and history, we shouldn't easily believe in him or her. We should be aware of some people are incorrectly using the internet, a kind of artifacts in order to take the advantages on it.

Blog Entry 2.1: My Archetype (Innocent)

             My positive archetype is the innocent that is a queen of optimism, faith, trust and simple. Everybody begins his/her journey as innocent as a child. We are trustworthy and morally good meaning that we are never jealous of the people and cruel or cunning as a fox. We have both good things and bad things of our archetype. We ourselves have desire of purity, goodness and simplicity and willingly to do other's issues as possible as we can. No wonder we trust other very easily so sometimes, we are used and people misuse our characters in bad ways. 

            One of my favorite movies is Forrest Gump, a kind of amazing philosophic movie I've ever watched. Gump, who is a childishly naive idiot and born with a low IQ, leads a very successful life with his innocent archetype. From one view, it involves that intelligence is a very unnecessary feature. He is such a stupid, innocent, simple man with his maniac enthusiasm on doing something such as playing table-tennis who finally becomes a millionaire that everybody wants to be. Having his stupid style and doing his own way without any jealousy of other people lead a very charmed life. Some of his saying I am fond of in the movie are "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." and "Stupid is as stupid does." No matter how stupid he is, I keep him as my favorite innocent character in my mind forever.

            I would say Julia Roberts, who is the professional actress I like most, has her adorable and fresh innocent smile that leads her to get one of the most beautiful women in the world. She is smart in performing in her movies naturally such as Monalisa's Smile and Pretty Woman that are the great movies ever. As simplicity is the best and forever, she is always be an ideal person to prove it. Her eyes are full with passion, kind and hope and her smile encourages and cheers on others. No doubt she is a perfect actress with innocent archetype.

            The reason why I like this song "Everything I do, I do it for you" is because it's one of the lyrics mentioned about his pure romantic love, about him whom is not afraid to scarify his life for his love. Whenever I listen to this music, there is a feeling in my mind. And it will be everlasting innocent songs in my life.

TRUMAN SYNDROME DIAGNOSED (EXAM)

                        I am wondering how people feel they are not in the real world when they know about it. Moreover, if I were one of them, how I want my life to be.

                        First of all, I believe that there are many ways to control a person from particular places. Nowadays, because of high-tech, someone can be watched from a small space of the world wherever he goes and whatever he does. There are many invisible web-cans, satellite radiations all over the world. So on the other hand, we would tell that we all are trapped in a big planet (earth). That is similar to the story of the Truman show.

                        Next, someone can find easily people’s biography, background, daily routine and current issues in such computer age. Especially, celebrities, they are totally trapped in a small area surrounding by many kind of media, paparazzi and so on. Whatever they do, they are broadcasted on magazines, TV show and journals. Therefore, some people get big stress and committed suicide in different ways in order to escape from those stressful life. They don’t think they have a reality and freedom.

                        Then, I have my own experience that I felt more relaxable and immoral in my country before I come to the states knowing that I got full freedom and felt all the real thing of my life. My life was very meaningful there, of course. Nobody could track me because of being a developing country without any high-tech. I’d never got depressed and felt that I was not in a real world. So mentally, I used to have a good condition of my health. I believe that living-style is the most important for each person. Feeling that I am not in a real world is depend on the particular country’s culture and mental health. After I arrived to the states, my life-style was entirely changed because of the environment. All of my information is in record whatever I do. I feel that I was controlled everything of my life. In addition, people from surrounding are similar to actors or actresses. For example, they do their own business communicating with everybody for their business only, not for their willingness. Everything is scheduled by deadlines. So I got a lot of stress and pressure mentally and physically. There is no real relaxation and pure communication among people. I have to do the same routine daily. Sometimes, I do feel my life is ridiculous here and I feel like I am always trapped in the faked world.

                        In conclusion, because of the above examples, as some people feel that all what they do are not a reality in this world. I feel the same way starting from the first day of my arrival in the states. If possible, I really want my life to have entire freedom not watching by anybody.
