How does ethnocentricity cause conflict?

On January 26^th of year 1788, British first came to the land called Sydney, in Australia. From that island, they found ‘First Australians’ who were described as numbed in the book ‘The Rabbits’ and later they called by ‘Aboriginals’. First time, this contact seems very happy and pleasant to each other. However, their different culture and ethnocentrism caused them to raise a war, which lead by British people.

As British and native Australian had a different ethnocentrism, they become incompatible with each other. However, during that time British already made their mind to take over the Australia, because they thought no one own those lands, because they thought native Australians were not a human, they thought they are animal. From native Australian point of view, they felt dumbfounded, because native Australian owned their lands and British people suddenly came to invade their lands, which were well owned and used by native Australian. When those two situations or ethnocentrism met each other, they solved that problem in severe ways. This is because; they started to kill each other.

After they started a war, the relationships between native Australian and British become extremely worse and both caused some conflicts each other. For example, one native Australian guy called Pamulway burnt all the crops that British made. Also, eh killed the British colonist called McIntyre. Finally, he caught by British and he chopped his head, then his head transported to England. This conflict shows how seriously they hate each other. Other conflict they had was that, the nation called Wiradjuri resist to British, lead by Wndradyne. However, from that war, British won very easily, because British had high technologic weapons. Finally, native Australians asked for peace to British.

These whole situations were started by dramatically different ethnocentrism and cultures. If they had some sympathy between them, they would not go that far, which was killing each other. Surprisingly, both of them extremely hated each other, because; native Australians called British ‘Red devil’ and British called native Australians as ‘Black devils’.

Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment

Julius Caesar - Act one, Scene 1, line 33~ 76.

1. State the context of the passage (This is only 1-2 sentences).

(Rome, a street) Commoners try to celebrate Caesar’s victory, but Marullus and Flavius stop them and scold them for not doing their work on workday.

2.Explain the meaning and the significance of the passage (This is a well- developed paragraph).

Meaning: Simply, this paragraph and scene is saying that, Flavius and Marullus hate Caesar and having some struggles with plebians. However, if we understand this paragraph deeply, this paragraph means that, if Caesar become a king, which can emphasize as ‘Dictator’ whole Rome will going to in panic. As a result, Marullus and Flavius try to stop Caesar’s dictatorship.

Significance: The paragraph, which Kevin and I choose was very significant, because it shows the great foreshadowing that, they will going to stop Caesar to become a king. Therefore they said ‘These growing feathers plucked from Caesar’s wing / Will make him fly an ordinary pitch’ and this sentence means that, they going to kill or lowering down Caesar to not become a king of Rome. Surprisingly, now Caesar is dead by conspirators, so Shakespeare shows this scene for predict or show what will going to happen. As a result, we can say that, this chapter foreshadows whole stories that will going to happen in next chapters.

Paragraphs:

MARULLUS

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome,
To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way
That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.

FLAVIUS

Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault,
Assemble all the poor men of your sort;
Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears
Into the channel, till the lowest stream
Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.

(Exeunt all the Commoners)

See where their basest metal be not moved;
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
This way will I
disrobe the images,
If you do find them deck'd with ceremonies.

MARULLUS

May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

FLAVIUS

It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

Learning Profile

Learning Profile

Insung Jung Feb/7^th

2weeks ago, in humanities class, we discussed about what is our learning profile. First time, when I heard about ‘Learning profile’ I thought it would be very boring and sleepy. However, it wasn’t boring as I thought, it was interesting! Maybe it was because of our teachers’ great effort to engage us to ‘Learning profile’ program. It was not only funny and interesting, but also important to us, giving great information about ‘how to study’.

The identification of individual’s ‘Learning profile’ gives enormous helps to their own decision making related to studying. There are diverse “learning profiles’ which is distinguished by individuals, and myself was indentified as ‘profile D’. Profile D is a very unique profile, compare to other profiles. This is because, while I was testing what I profile I was, I found that most of my friends have similarities between their body parts. For example, one of my friend has had a profile K, and he’s ear, hand and foot is all right side. However, Profile D doesn’t have many similarities that other profiles have. However, Mr. Whiting told us that, because our learning profile is strange, it doesn’t mean its wrong, it can be more special and unique.

The advantage of Profile D is that, they are learning easily, when they educated by visualized things. As a result, compare to other subject, they are better than art or digital classes. If, visualized person learn some subject by only reading or writing, their grade will going to keep decrease. Therefore, I planned to learn some subjects by visuals.

Questions

1. I learn best when...

I learn some subjects by visual.

2. I need to...

Improve on concentration, when I write or read a article or book.

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning...

Is, imagine or make a simple picture about, how, when and why, so I could understand more easily.

4.I would like my teachers to know this about me...

I feel really thanks about your showing videos about Caesar. This is because; I cannot not totally understand the reading, when I only read my book. However, as I watch the video, I can easily understand.

Society Mirror

How 'The Last Supper' reflects the Renaissance society

To solve the problem in old days, they need to keep think about that unsolved problem. Somehow, to solve the problem, people were discuss, invent new things and they even dissect human bodies. Also, artwork was taking place at the mysterious section. This is because; as artwork is not talking or showing the text, people need to find answer by observe the details of that artwork. While they solving that problem, we can expect that many people were confused and hard to figure out, what does that art work means. This is because, the person who knows that answer and meaning is only the person who drew it. However, as people are solving that problem, the people in renaissance can understand their society. Therefore, by solving the mysteries and problems, people in renaissance can evolve at that period.

One of the most mysterious artwork drew by Leonardo Da Vinch’s ‘The last supper’. This is because; this artwork shows us many ‘secret’ messages. For example, in the picture, we can see 12people (except Jesus) and they are group as 4, and each 4groups are including 3people. This each groups and people are representing Gospel and Trinitas. Which were the basic qualities of the Catholic Church.

The driving forces of Italy

2010 September 29

Driving forces of Italy

During the period of the renaissance, they had many changes by knowledge of science, questions and ETC, and those changed knowledge affect many thing after and during the period of renaissance. However, I think that, one of the old knowledge was driving force during the period of renaissance, which was ‘Trade &Banking’. This is because, every new or old knowledge are made by trade and banking. That is because, trade was related to money, and money was the main source of everything. For example, when astrologist study about astrology, they can observe the movements of stars, but they cannot observe stars with their bare eyes. Such like this, the driving force of renaissance was trading.

Object perspective

I have chosen one thing, which is really important and feel precious to me. That objects name is called 'Lion', which is my 4 years best friend and when I am studying he is always stay with me. Lion is use as the pencil case.

Yesterday, in my mind I asked to him about my positive points and negative points, and he told me that he have many ideas, which is really negative to me. At that time I was shocked, because I was always kind and good to him but he said I am not good owner. Therefore I asked to him what is my negative points, and he told me

1. You always put so many things, which are very sharp and thick ones, and it really hurts me!
2. Do not play with me, you are not a child. However, you played with me some good ways, but when you are boring you are doing things, which are really hurts me! For example, dissection my back side and stretch my arm and legs.
3. This one might hurts your mind, but you never showered me more than 6months, therefore I felt really stinky and uncomfortable myself, so when you have some extra time please shower, unless your friends will tease you and me!

Next, I asked to him what is my positive points, and he told me

1. Nothing.................

Suddenly I'd like to hit him, but is was half true and half false, therefore I didn't hit him.
On next week, I have long~~~ Holiday, therefore I'd like to shower him very clearly, so do not tease my Lion anymore my friends!!!!

Parent's letter

In the 2010 third trimester, I did my best as I can do, therefore I could improve my grade and the issues of my classes.

First, in trimester 3, my classes are very interesting that inspire me very much, therefore in dance class and theater art class, now I am improving my skills of movements.

Also, now in ESL, Math and Science class we are doing fun activities to easy to learn and do not miss the main idea of the module or chapter. Such as, in math class we are doing project called 'Light, Camera... Action!', its process of learning the reflection, stretch and some other mathematical skills.

Also in science class, we are doing adaptations, variation and natural selection, by using the boxes that are represent, rain forest and grassy land, the rule of game is very simple, first we need to separate two teams that are go to rain forest and go to the grassy land, second we have materials that are, big spoon, fork, knife and small spoon, third the person who have the most M&M will be winner. At that process, I can predict that the big spoon will be great to catch the M&Ms. This is because, big spoon have bigger size than other materials, therefore the population of the big spoon will be rapidly going up.

In some other classes such as in ESL class we did religion essay, which is really good to learn about the writing skills, also we need to use the special words that are using for the essay. Some other good activity was 'Presentation of everything', it is presenting something that is you can present well and present very confidently, it is process of learning the speaking, listening and movements that are good for presentation.

As you saw just now, I am very happy with my grade and I could see I am improving on many classes, therefore in next year and some more years, I will do as best as I can, also I am really thanks to my teacher and school.

The RED TREE

About the 'Red Tree' by Shaun Tan:

At the time that, when I first saw this image, I felt loneliness and heartless. That is because, she was always alone, and she always show her face that do not have the mood. Also, all the times she made the hallucination that scare or feel bad to her. Such as, made a big fish that is just shadow the girl, get in to the bottle that is not relate and connect to the other sites. Those of the facts made by her self. However, in the her house, I could see maple tree, that is get the light from the other, also she was smiling to that tree.

About the red tree people:

In the world, we could see those of people, however, when we are not taking care of that people, they will become a criminal or other bad people. Therefore, start now that helping the other person that are in the hard times.

My red tree is, my brother. His seven years older than me, but he is always kind and take care of me. Two years ago, when I was in Seoul, me and my brother was always together, because most activities that are similar to each other, for example, playing soccer, studying together and he helped do my homework. Now he is working in the army, because in South Korea, males most do the service of army. Therefore, I'd like to say 'do your best my brother!'

Mr. Linden's Library

Yesterday, I went to the my school's library, my first necessary thing was borrowing the book to read, second was I'd like to met Mr. Linden. He was the old librarian, that he worked for school more than 20 years, so I said 'hello' to Mr. Linden and also said 'hi' to me. I was looking for interesting book and he came next to me and he gave one old book, he told me 'This book is very old book, but it's very interesting at many sites, so go to home and read it, but do not read until midnight!'. Therefore, last night I planned to read book very little, however book was so interested, until 1'o clock I read the book, and finally I fell in to sleep. When I was opened my eye, the book was alive, also it spread the route of them, I thought about it, why is it moving and why the light is just shining on to the book, light didn't reach to me, it was just light on the book! Also some routes are moving and entered to my arm and I couldn't move my arm! I was thinking and thinking again, what's happen to me, finally I found answer what the situations meaning about, the routes are the 'how much interest it is', it means that book is so interested that, it entered to my soul. Also, I think the book want to say that they are living, the book is history, with history they can be a living creature, because they told the story, that are what did they saw or what did they felt. However, for become a living creature, they need a interest of people, the light. without light, the book, the living creature will die.

About the Trimester-3

Responsible:
On the Trimester 3, I have to more responsible, because it's last trimester, also for get the good grades I need to be responsible. Such as, when someone talking I need to pay attention and being responsible with it, however, when I am not responsible, I will be more loose and will lose my points.

Respectful:
In ISKL's most of class have less than 2 Koreans in each classes. However, those of Koreans are not using English more than Korean, therefore we need to make a plan or rules that are have the strict instruction. Also when the Koreans want to accomplish and succeed that rules, they need to manage their rules, THEIRSELVES. We don't need to wasting money at making the rules that using not Korean or other languages because we need to manage our mind ourselves.

After trip to the FRIM

Two days ago, I went to the FRIM. I thought it would be fun and exciting. However, it was really exhausted and horrible such as a, leach, watery mud and some other disgusting stuff.
On the afternoon activities, I experienced about, how can I measure tree height, how can I feel the nature, what animals in the small river and what creatures in the rainforest. It was fun and interesting experience, however the night walk (night hike) was really terrible and horrible. That is because, it was rainy, it was very stiff and so many people go to the trip, therefore we jammed. However, when I see that in the positive parts, I went there and I became healthy, I could see special creatures such as fire bugs, I saw the puzzle thing and it was just only one in the world. Also I felt released from the study jail.

Next day, I went to canopy walk, it was really interesting and funny but hard to hike and climb up the mountain. Finally, when I reach to the canopy walk station, I felt very happy and honest to myself, on the canopy walk, some of my friends felt afraid, however Sung Jun and I played on the canopy walk.

However, the most fun and good part was I became familiar and friendly with my teachers and my friends. Therefore thanks to my teacher and friends.


-The end-

About the Frim (7-5)

On Wednesday, my science class and I will go to the rain forest (FRIM).

I am looking for some animals, but I'd like seeing special animals, like, elephant, tiger, civet cat and snakes. Also, I'd like to get out of the city center.
This is because, most part of the city center is polluted.

As much as I learn from there, I will use it for my school process and some other projects and homework. Also, on this process, I think I will learn more about the rainforests and environment.

However, some negative parts, in rain forest I will feel some bad feeling like dirty, humid and hot, but most parts are positive, therefore I am glad to go to the Frim.

Lastly, we can see or learn more, when we went to rain forest.Also I am curious about what will happen on the rain forest

Afghanistan girl, 1984

Last week, our humanity class and ESL class went to the Islamic art museum. At there i could see some amazing things like, Islamic architecture, Holy book, Jewel and other stuffs. However, my most favorite was, Steve Mccurry's photograph room.

When I Looked around that room, it was really great and awful. This is because, I could see perfect and attractive photos, and I chose one called, "Afghanistan Girl" . When I saw that picture, I felt strange and dangerous, also I felt her feelings like sadness and loneliness. This is because, on her eye present and explain some harmless. Therefore I choose that picture, I can find many meanings and feelings.

Charlie and chocolate factory reflection

In this trimester our ESL class read book call 'Charlie and the chocolate factory’. Its main story was one poor child called Charlie get the one of the most precious called Mr. Wonka’s golden ticket, and it made by Mr.Wonka. Mr. Wonka is chairman of the biggest chocolate factory. He invented many chocolate and candy, also he made some numerous gum or other inventions. Except Charlie their have 4 more children, and their name is Violet, Veruca, Mike and Augustus. Also, those of 4 guys are all spoiled and naughty. Therefore, in Mr.Wonka’s factory, and each of them got problems. However, Charlie became chairman of Factory.

After read this story, I thought author is really creative and have really great ideas. This is because, most of stories are start at city, country side and ETC. However, he started story at chocolate factory. Also in the factory, I can imagine and I think many things. Those of reasons I thought Charlie and the chocolate factory was great book.

Five questions about Charlie and the Chocolate factory

1. How Mr. Wonka make numorus things? Like candy balloon, never melted ice cream and others.
2. What is inside of Mr. Wonka's factory?
3. Who is secret worker and what they look like?
4. how old is Willy Wonka's chocolate factory?
5. Except Charlie, why other children are so spoiled and selfish?
   

My myth retell written story~!

When I write this long Prometheus story, I was always thinking about ' what is great picture for this sentence or paragraph?'. Therefore when I was attaching or including picture, it was more easier than other times. Because of that reason, my bet SLR from this story was 'Thinking Creatively'. When I see some parts of my story I proud myself and I have 2 proud things. First its specific writing, like clear. Second I proud of my enough writing. Next time, when I do again this project, I will read story again and again, and then i will start my writing.

All of writings have some challenging part, in this project most challenging thing was the 'became someone and tell story to other' it means that I need to became some other character. For example, I should became Hercules and telling story to you.

'Mysteries of Harris Burdick' story from InSung!

In a Halloween season in 1900s at Minnesota, U.S.A, a maid found a great pumpkin for the making special pumpkin pie. She brought pumpkin to kitchen and ready for the making pumpkin pie. First, she got big spoon for the pumpkin’s seeds, second she got roller and big bowl. Last, she got sharp knife for cutting the pumpkin. She thought ‘All things were ready!’, and she got a sharp knife and get close to pumpkin. Suddenly, the kitchen’s light was gone and she surprised, when she was left in the dark kitchen, in spite of darkness she kept on her job of cutting the pumpkin with knife. When she lowered the knife in to the pumpkin, the pumpkin was getting brighter and brighter. However, she couldn’t stop cutting the pumpkin for the curiosity, finally she cut the edge of the pumpkin and the pumpkin got back to normal condition without light. Few seconds later, the kitchen’s light came on again, and she saw some tiny little aliens in the pumpkin!

why writing?

People’s why writing!? Today I want figureabout that big~~ problem.

In modern and ancient civilization need more information about anything.
Therefore they are making and inventing special stuffs. When they done that invention, they got special skills. However, they couldn’t remember all of it, so they make there own character to writing. Also that character needs to write and record, because they can forget about it. For example, when they invent new recipe, they need to record and write about that recipe. In conclusion, writing is meaning that, record and save data. Therefore we know, why people writing.

Ha, ha we figure out the answer! Next time we’ll talk about ‘?????? ?????’, so see you later!

My SLR progress today

In ESL class we need to do many thing. For example, reading book, write essay and ETC. However, one of the important thing in ESL class is using the ‘SLR’.

My not good SLR is ‘reason critically. Because when I say or write something, I am not forgotten about the example. In this case, I am using ‘for example’ or ‘like’, but sometimes I am using so many like or for example. Because I am nervous, when I nervous my brain cannot remember about what I am talking about. Therefore I am just saying my own memories. Next time, I’ll not nervous when I present something.

My good SLR is ‘communicate effectively’. In class I am talking and spoke about helpful things like, someone don’t know how to spell something, I help them very kindly (?). Also I am thankful to Billy. Because he helped Nam hoon in class, but they spoke so many Korean. Therefore I am worry about it.
