racism

Uncategorized — YoonJung on April 14, 2006 at 4:51 pm

American people learn about racism when they are very young, but they don’t know it exactly because most of them learn unconsciously from thier parents. These primitive emotions have been with people since the dawn of mankind, and racism also has not vanished while mankind becomes enlightened. The emotion of racism ran too deep. That is, racism still exists now and it has survived by concealing itself. It has only changed it’s form. Although all social systems can eliminate racial discrimination, it can only eliminate it’s appearance. The prejudice will remain in someone’s consciousness or unconsciousness. Therefore, I think. The racism will exist in the future. Merely, it’ll only be in smaller forms and more subtly.  

Your Exam Topics!

Uncategorized — mistergord on April 13, 2006 at 7:28 pm

Hi guys!

I said I’d post your exam topics before midnight. I’m going to post them NOW!

I realized that giving you only one thesis for each topic is too narrow. So what will happen is, you will get a surprise TOPIC. For each topic, there are TWO theses, and of course you can choose the one you prefer. You chance for each topic paper is 50%. When you receive your topic paper, you can choose Thesis A or Thesis B according to your preference.

TOPIC 1: Success.

  • Thesis A: Success is important to my happiness.
  • Thesis B: Success is not important to my happiness.

TOPIC 2: Coffee.

  • Thesis A: Coffee is bad for you.
  • Thesis B: Coffee is good for you.

Remember, the surprise will be whether you get TOPIC 1 or TOPIC 2; I will give you one randomly. But when you have the topic, you are free to choose whichever thesis you like, Thesis A or Thesis B.

In other words, you don’t need to prepare for 4 different theses. Just choose one thesis for Coffee, and one thesis for Success, and prepare for those with free writing and thinking and a vocabulary list, and so on.

Does that make sense? If not, please let me know RIGHT AWAY!

A reminder: this exam is on Thursday, April 20th. That’s next Thursday. Your essays and outlines, however, are due on Tuesday, April 18th! I’m looking forward to reading them! Have a good weekend, everyone!

Have I Given You A Comment?

Uncategorized — mistergord on April 12, 2006 at 9:41 pm

Hi everyone!

Well, I spent some time tonight catching up on comments. I’m feeling a little sick, so I’m going to go and rest, but I wanted to ask a question:

Have I given you all comments? I’m trying to make sure I don’t miss anyone, but it’s hard to see because this program doesn’t let me check who did or didn’t get a comment from me.

So I’m going to ask you to comment here if I HAVEN’T given you a comment. This will remind me to carefully watch for a post by you so that I can comment on it specifically. I don’t want to leave anyone out, of course! So please check your old posts and let me know!

Thanks!

Uncategorized — EUNSOO on April 11, 2006 at 8:48 pm

TO learn english is very exited for me. Before I enterd the catholic university, I thought that writing class is how to say and write in english with  korea words ,or sentence. But after I enterd the C.U . I was surprised . We didn’t learn how to say and write ,but we learn task of some more high level . Of course , writing class is deferent with my thinking and It’s still very difficurt time . However, It’s good for me . Now Ithink I know a little about how to spread my point of an argument.

present

Uncategorized — YoonJung on April 11, 2006 at 11:38 am

When I was young, I used think a university student is very free. I believed that a university student play everyday and they can do everything if they want. So, I really hoped to become a university student. Now, but, my life is very busy and confusing. I have to study everyday. I’m studying more than as I child. I can’t everything eventhough I want to do. When exam comes near, I can even not meet mi friends. I want to go everywhere, but I can’t. I’ve been under so much stress since I entered this university and I have to think many things such as my past, present, and future. I had never thought these when I was young. This life is not what I expected. It’s so different. I need some tonic.   

The way to spend happy life

Uncategorized — nami on April 10, 2006 at 11:51 pm

  Everything is depend on our thinking and attitude toward something happens. Before that, I sometimes heard that saying to my family and some seniors, but It goes in an ear out the other at that time. These days I can feel deeply by living as a senior in my university. There are a few happening to me.

  I used to go to the English institute during last winter vacation. I enjoyed addressing my opinion to my native teacher and classmates in English, so I’m able to build up a little confidence. After starting this term in university I became a pre-graduate student. I think the name gives a strong responsibility and great burden to me. I lost my confidence more and more due to several major classes that is requested natural speaking in English. One of the reasons is that there are smart students who speak English fluently in class, so it seems to be lose my confidence. However, I already know that some confidence are more important than real ability. Also, the each steps to grow up speaking skills has a strong meaning to learn a English language.

  There is another example to explain the top sentence of this essay. taht is some worries whether I cna get a job what I want to do or not. Some anxiety toward finding a job doesn’t give help to me. These is a famous phase in the book ‘ An alchemist ’ by Paulo Coelho. ”When you desire earnestly to your goal, the universe gives a hand sincerely.” Do my best and passion for my goal during preparing for graduation as well as finding a job is enough. If I persevere in my efforts with possitive thinking, God bless me. of course there is no any regret, so everthing depends on out thinking and attitude.  

Hines Ward

Uncategorized — jiyoung on April 9, 2006 at 6:16 pm

Hines Ward threw a first pitch on the opening day of major-league baseball game in Korea. It means he must be very popular because only celeberities have done it before. He is a MVP in super ball this year in U.S.A ,but the reason he is in sportlight of many people is that he’s a half Korean. His father was American, his mother raised him alone. Whenever he has an interview, he always talks about mother and the greatest love of his mother.  For the success of Hines Ward, many  mixed people are hoping of living in korea without discrimination. Hines Ward asked our nations to treat the mixed people with warm heart. So, he wishes lots of half koreans will be happy like him.

Hansik Day

Uncategorized — sunmyung on April 9, 2006 at 3:07 pm

Hansik is Korean traditional manners. It is a day for offering food to ancestor and adorning their tomb. The day is same with Arbor day, so many Korean went to their ancestral tomb. However, it is not a legal holiday from this year, so my family went to there last Saturday. Unfortunately, it was just raining as soon as we got the grand father’s tomb, so we decided to only bow. However, rain seemed like stop, so my family planted flower seeds because he liked flowers during life time, and I weeded the tomb. At that time, I looked back upon the days that I remove my father’s some white hair when I was a elementary school student.  It was strange feeling because first time that I thougt like that since I’ve pulled up weeds before 3 years ago. I felt the round tomb with green weeds like a grey head. This feeling made me wonder whether the tomb alives. I knew that thinking didn’t make sense, but it was just fun and interesting thinking to me. Thanks to that unreasonable thinking, weeding wasn’t hard. I spent great time there, and I hoped the seeds grow into beautiful flowers during this spring, summer and autumn.

Conclusions

Uncategorized — sunmyung on April 9, 2006 at 2:09 pm

Audience is parents of young children. 

1. Refocus

These bad impacts of TV on children are serious, but they are too subtle to aware easily. Therefore, parents should control the time watching TV, and  it is also apply to other products such as computer. These days, children usually get exciting but harmful information through internet, besides, many computer games make them plain and aggressive except time consuming. Finally, using computer for a long time generates same effect with watching TV. For this reason, parents should be attend to whether their children spend time  with not only TV but also computer.

2.Reinforce

 In other words, TV interrupts children’s peaceful development in brain and body. Too much exposure to TV makes brain dull, and body heavy. If this situation goes on, Children’s intellectual power will decrease, and then they won’t be able to adapt to school life. Moreover, TV causes many physical troubles such as amblyopia, obesity, and so on. These appearances sometimes make children lose their pride to come out. In this way, bad effects of TV have clse relation to children’s development, so parents should not overlook chlidren’s watching TV.  

3.other possiblity

Watching television is bad for children in aspects of development of brain and health, and promotion of possessiveness about material things. Therefore, parents should give their children other things to play or to do during rest of the time instead of wathing TV. You have to try to find something truly different with TV. For example, the something could be reading books, listening music, painting, dancing or go hiking or fishing with family. However, the most important thing is what your children really want to do and what your children’s temperament like. It might be difficult for parents, but that is basic course for rearing children. Parents should start talk with children for giving them new present, not a idiot box.

Myeong-Dong

Uncategorized — JooYoung on April 9, 2006 at 12:12 pm

  I went to go in Myeong-Dong with my friend. In spite of yellow sand,there were many people in Myeong-Dong. My friend and I stay in starbucks, because of many people and yellow sand. But some people with mask wandered  on the street. and many foreigners visited it, because it has many sights and food stores. Specially, there were many japanese and chinese. I think it insufficients a sightseeing commodity and special events for foreigners. Now a sightseeing commodity is almost entertainer picture. Of course, it can become sufficient profit. But in long term aspect, it can not become a plenary commodity. Threfore, we need to change tour industry. If surrounding changes more special and fascinating, foreigner’s number will increase more and more. I hope that our tour industry developes more than now.  

Imagination of the perfect weekend

Uncategorized — Lee Ji Eun on April 9, 2006 at 11:34 am

 I want to spend my weekend like this. On the saturday morning, I wake up late. First, I take a shower after I simply work out. Next, I fancy up for going out and meet my boyfriend. We eat tasty foods in a restaurant, and then, we go to a movie. After that, we take a drive and go shopping with date. At about evening, I come back hoom and rest a while. And then I take a trip with my family by train. We arrive at our destination in the Sunday morning. We do a lot of sightseeing, eat various tasty foods and have a good time. We come back home after trip is over and rest with watching TV. Next, we go to bed and to sleep.

CONCLUSION

Uncategorized — jiyoung on April 7, 2006 at 11:31 pm

1. REFOCUS/THE UNKNOWNS

Televison has negative points for children. It makes their concentration lower and encourages to buy something through excessive advertisements. Also, television is threatening their health. Then, how can we protect our kids away from the television? Specific solution should be needed.

2.REINFORCE MY OPINION

It’s very clear that television has bad effect on children in many ways. They can’t concentrate on something for long time and they spend much money on consume thoughtless. Finally their health get hurt from the television. In my opinon, parents should give positive aids for their children such as helping them not to have time to watch a televsion for long time.

 3. OTHER POSSIBILITIES

Television is bad for children in many ways. It takes away thier attention, thought and health. It can’t be deniable the fact that the television gives a negative affect on our kids. It ‘s proved through an anual national report. Parents should control their children watching television and help them to have a fun with other media like newspaper or radio. It is the way to lead them to better future. Also, attaching safe equipment to television would be good idea to protect their health from electromagnetic waves and strong light.

movie

Uncategorized — jiyoung on April 7, 2006 at 10:47 pm

I saw a movie “ Mr.Hitch”. It’s a story about a man, Hitch ,who works as a dating consultant. His job is like this : helping his clients who really are in love and giving a piece of advice on their dating process. One day, Hitch met a woman,Sarah in a bar. He has a confidence of  having a conversation with women and successing in dating with them. But she was different from other women.Actually, Hitch had a sad story with an ex-girlfriend. He was dumped because he was very clumsy and had a pure heart. Since then, he became a professional dating coach not to be a stupid man who doesn’t know about women’s mind. Anyhow, he decided to approach to her but he alwalys made lots of mistakes. While his client wasn’t being success in a date and he failed his love, he fianlly realized there is no rules on realtionship between man and woman. A message in this movie was that only true love will work to win someone’s love. The end of this movie, I thought it was absolutely true. And I believe that treathing someone with heart is very important in human society not only in dating relationship. 

Conclusion

- reinforce my opinion - 

1. audience: teenager 

You are growing up. So, in the midst, you can do many things to build up your body and spirit. What do you want to do? What will you do? Although television has many good points and it is very important means, television will bad affect on your life. From now, you must reduce time for watching television. And then, first, go out with your friend or romp about on the playground. You can not only promote your health, but also can learn about method of conversation what you have to find certainly. Second, read book as much as possible. Reading book will give some assistance that is helpful to your ability to concentrate and this habit even will be of help your grade. Third, incease the time with your parents. To become a great adult, you must also take right judgment what really need to you. Trough your parents, you can gain this ability.

I suggest. Do something that can help you!! Instead of watching television!! If you accept my suggetion, you’ll get a chance that become cool!  

 

2. audience: parents

Although television has many good points, it will bad affect on your child. Turn off television!! And then, increase time with your child. Your child doesn’t know whether right or wrong. He/She must take right judgment. They can’t think that in imprudence advertisements and programs. So, ask for news about their life and help them and give some advice. No one can these roles for your child. Television can’t also it. Person who can it is only you. 

 

- refocus - 

3. audience: parents

Your child is affected by television. It gives a short attention span. People who grew up reading books or engaged in outdoor activities can concentrate for a long time. If your child have lots of time for watch television, they also will doesn’t get good grade in their class. In addition, television is the exposure to advertising. So, they get indiscretion information through it. Your child want to buy some products of the latest fashion, and then they will abondon it easily. Also, television effects on health of your child. Children can have excellent physical condition through interation with their friends or surrounding. Children who are in the room continuously have weaker systems and much higher chance of getting sick. Although television has many good points, it will bad affect on your child. If you want to have normal child, what can you do for he/she?        

the homeless in my mind….. ?

Uncategorized — kyounghwa on April 7, 2006 at 9:15 pm

There’re too many homeless people all over the world. In other countries, they are more likely to be addicted to the drugs. On the contrary, drugs are not serious cause here. What are the reasons of being so many of them in Korea? Before that, let me say my feelings for them. When I see them, usually they pass me in the subway, I feel pressed. Apparently they don’t beg me directly but I don’t know what I should do. The result is just as you think. I don’t hand money at all; there’re exceptions, though. Worse, I am sick and tired of seeing those people these days. How do other people think for them?

 I suggest there’re some stereotypes in Korea. People commonly doubt their being blind. There’re rumors that beggars got money and then walked and checked the money without problem just as others out of subway. The second thought of people is, “Why don’t they try to make money for themselves? Even though they’re handicapped, if they have strong mind to work and survive, they can.�? Whereas I wrote these stereotypes, I realized some opposite questions. Their begging is like somehow a fundraising. And they might be the desperate people who don’t get any help from anybody. In case of Canada, they have had enough money and facilities to support homeless. But because all Korean homeless can’t get protected in basic living, they came out.

 Owing to this my condense writing, I could notice my thinking. Until today, actually I’ve had practically negative thinking for the homeless, but I feel sympathy for them even though a little bit.       

conclusion,

Uncategorized — Lee bo ra on April 7, 2006 at 7:43 pm

1.

However, it is not that these problems only appear by television. Internet is also big problem to kids. Popularizantion of computer also bring bad effects that are similar effects with television. It means that kids are exposed many mass media before you know. Consequently we have to watch out our kids from evil influences.

2

These problems depend on you. Therefore to protect our kids, you shouid not let them go untreated. Their bad habits may be gradually corrected from you by being concerned about their interests. You may already know what your kids like or dislike, but many people leave them alone. try to be with your kids and read their mind.

 

3.

Then, how can we solve these problems? It is hard to figure out them. Because television is a big part of our life, even it may be the whole to our. Some kids have bad effects a little and another kids have them much.  So several possible solutions are existed to them. Hence we have to find many appropriate methods and try to arrange for future.

to bring up a puppy

Uncategorized — nami on April 7, 2006 at 1:25 am

  I’ve raised my puppy for about 8 years. It doesn’t mean just an animal for me, she’s my younger sister and one of my family members. I really hate a few people who are cruel to animal or consider as just their possession. Even though all dogs or puppies have absolutry their feelings and senses, someone doesn’t know about that.

  I witnessed a horrible scene that a man dragged a pitiful puppy violently on a street a few days ago. The puppy seemed to be painful and to put it to death. After I watched that situation, the look of puppy reminds me until now. Whenever I see any puppies, they are almost the same like my puppy,so I never forgive the person who gives so much pain to puppy. However, it’s not difficult to find those situations like that in Korea. Many of people desert their puppy with an irresponsibility attitude if they feel sick and tired of it. Actually, the problem of leave puppies behind is emerged from hot issue several days ago. In my opinion, these people don’t have the authority to raise puppies, so I sometimes think that some types of certification about a basis attitude to have a pet is need owing to serious present phase.

conclusions – 3

Uncategorized — Lee Ji Eun on April 5, 2006 at 10:05 pm

1. Refocus

TV has a bad effect to children, so parents or teachers strive for its solution. However, the solution of TV’s problums s far from perfection. This is because children can be close to computer, movies, magazines and so on besides TV. These also have  bad effects. Moreover, we can’t ignore that medias’ good effects like educational or news informations. In conclusion, we must encourage good effects of TV at the same time as various interesting programs , for example, reading books, group study, outdoor activity or study tour. That can prevent from the media harm efficiently.

 

2. The unknowns

Children’s protection from TV harm isn’t always possible. If parents come home late, they can be close to the media without limit. That is, the TV’s problum can’t solve individually. Therefore, I think that there must be definite systems like a charge program policy. Is it possible? If it is possible, what are the effectively system policies?

 

3. Reinforce your opinion

TV treatens life of the children. First of all, children can gain pleasure from TV at their comfortable home. They remote-control a TV with eating between meal. It becomes a chief cause of obesity because restrics outdoor activity. Second, TV violence can encourage aggression in children. The act of violence in TV is unrealistic. It makes children imperviously, so they accept the distorted contents witout distinction. Finally, too excess watching TV is continued a lowering of learning ability. children accept informations passively, so they can’t lead active study and originality. In conclusio, parents must turn off TV except for a time slot of valuable programs to children or family.

conclusion 1

Uncategorized — EUNSOO on April 5, 2006 at 8:39 pm

Based on the above, there are many bad effects on whaching TV. However , many

children in the world are TV these days. Then what should we do ? We certainly hah to

 protect our them hrom it.We can do many things for them. For example, we can

recommand reading the book,  spend excercize many kind of playing with them ,or

choose its program and we keep them from waching TV all day long .THerefor , we make

them get developing vocabulary and other skills crucial to profesional work , avoid the

exposure to advertising, and keep health of eyes their. Finally , we have to study new

things for them . Then we can make them  do more  creative things than watch it.

 

Spring

Finally cold winter has gone, and spring is coming.

Sleeping animals are waking up, and the flowers are blooming, too.

The warmer the weather the harder to study.

Therefore when the body is tired and weary while studying, it is good to relax the body by resting and doing stretches for a while.

That’s the best way to get used to spring.

Dog meat culture

Uncategorized — YoonJung on April 4, 2006 at 11:09 am

Dog meat has developed in the Korea from ancient times. It is characteristic culture heritage of Korea and wisdom of Korean ancestors. There are several historical reasons that. Summer is very hot in Korea; so, a colory is consumed rapidly. To avoid this problem, people had to eat meat. At that time, cattles and pigs were important means of living to Korean who had forming in their life. Therefore they used a dog which often could see in thier surroudings. In the other country, for example, Nomadic people who used dogs to breeding a sheep could eat enough horse, cattle, and sheep so on. Instead, they couldn’t eat dogs. Nomadic age was over, and westerners began to raise a dog as pet. So, they mat not understand dog meat culture. ; but, they have not a right that dog meat culture is clearly cruelty to dogs. They must understand culture relative. I’ve never eaten dog meat. Even so, I don’t think that dog meat culture is low culture. It is one of our culture. Thus, I desire that if you were human of globalization age, you admit our eating culture. It is that rightful mission and essential grounding.
