Advertisement

                 Advertisement is a big topic in nowadays, people see hundreds of advertisement everyday, although they did not really want to see it. On TV, street, newspaper, in market, shop, everywhere. As long as there has people, there has advertisement.

                  Advertisement play an important role in our daily lives. Many people complain that they are tired with too much advertisement. I think we all have this kind of experience that the advertisement keeps coming out almost every 15 minutes a time when we watching  a TV show. 40 minutes’ show, there are 20 minutes are advertisement which makes the audiences so speechless. I used thought that advertisement is just like a 10 minutes’ break for classes. But now I would never think like that. When we watching a TV, the show is not the most important things for us anymore, what most important is the advertisement. Advertisement has a deep influence to us even ourselves may not know that. They use special technology and sounds to give the audience a more unforgettable impression. Can not deny that people who behind the advertisement probably run out of  ideas on how to make the vision more impressive to their audience. Some advertisement that people like to see it even it has been played many times; however,some advertisement just watch once you never want to watch that again. For example, I remember an advertisement is to repeat one sentence several times which is so stupid. Everytime I saw it I never felt like to stay on it for one more second.

                  Another big problem is that most of the advertisement are over hunksterism, you can not trust each words that they say. Even though,they do shape the opinion of purchasing public. People talk about the production that in  advertisement. And the brands which shows on advertisement more frequently are higher price than the other brand who does not. Sometimes I was wondering what our life will be without advertisement, we might feel a little bit weird then. Maybe we really can not live without advertisement.

                   Anyway, advertisement just show us an opinion of life, we have the choice to decide which one we prefer. And the most important thing is do not 100 percent trust advertisement, absorb the advice and made our own decision.

7.26.

                    I am so happy because this week  is already our final week,  superduperhyperuntramage excited because I will be home on Friday, have been stay in LA for seven months, finally I can go home this week. What I am thinking now is the picture that I meet my parents at the airport four days later. But I knew that I should keep myself down because I still have the final exam before this semester ending. That is why people said the darkest time is before the dawn.  And that is also why I almost go schizoid this week. Actually, I already began to picking my package two weeks ago. When I thinking about my leaving, my brain become so exciting that I could not even fall asleep. I was thinking about my plan for the next month: go swim, hang out with friends, went to somewhere that I have never been before. All of these staff keep me beyond clam. But once I thought about my present, my feeling like from the top of the sky down to the hell. I have a lot of things to do this week. Class is still going on, I have no time to think about the others. I don’t want these to distract my attentions. I want to have a good ending about my summer semester.

                  Honestly, I have a good time during this half of year. I have known many friends, many people who from all over the world. And also, I don’t know  this is a good thing or a bad thing that I do began to know there is a kind of chatting tool that called Facebook. I think Facebook to American is like QQ to chinese. Another thing is that I began to learn how to take care of  myself . Someone has told me that I should learn a little bit about how to self-defence; someone has told me that I should eat breakfast everyday; someone has told me that I should focus on how to learn English as  fast as I can. These friends are all worth to treasure. I appreciate everyone that had appear in my life, because world is so big, there are so many people in the world that meet someone and know someone is not an easy thing.

                   Anyway, great time here and I saw home is waving to me~

Culture difference

                 There ia an interesting story that a lady come from America went to Japan for her vacation. When she steps in a restaurant and ordered a cup of green tea with sugar. After a pause, the waiter said :”we does not put sugar in green tea”. ” I know,” the lady said ” I’m aware of this custom, but I really like my tea sweet”. In response, the waiter gave her an even more courteous version of the same explanation,”we does not put sugar in green tea”. ” I understand,” the lady said,” that the Japanese do not put sugar in their green tea, but I’d like to put some sugar in my green tea”. The waiter was surprised by the lady’s insistence and then took up the issue with the manager. After a lengthy discussion, the manager came over to the lady and said to her,”I am very sorry, we do not have sugar.” So the lady have to change her order to a cup of coffee. Pretty soon the waiter brought over her coffee and with two packets of sugar resting on it.

                  I thought this is the difference between two cultures. It is hard and impossible for people to change their cultural customs. But it is another issue in America. People in America have more choice. They satisfied themselves in their own choice, and this is the place that I like for America most. America is a country which give people more freedom, you can do whatever you like, make your own choice, as long as it is properly and reasonable. And people respect your choice here.I have  a friend who came to America not a long time ago. One time when she ordered things in Starbucks, the waiter gave her a lot of choice to let her to choose, which made her so lose temperate and finally she just said to the waiter,” each of them is OK. ” Then the waiter look at her at a surprising face and asked,” Are you sure?”  This is also a pretty funny story that happened around me. So this is America.

                  I like the way that American does, you feel so free to do your own things. My mum had  asked me that what I think the difference between America and China when I came here for just few months. I can not really answer her question at that time. But now, I thought the most difference is that you can have more choice here and more freedom to do what you like. That is really great for me.

Dead or Exist

              Many people must have thought of death before, what is death, what happen when we die, what is the process of  death, can we exist or survive after our deaths?  We may have to clear ourselves that what am I and what is it to survive. Have you ever thought about a question: what is it for somebody who’s here next week to be the same person as me?

              Mr.Shelly who is a professor in Yale university said that because whatever the original input was, eventually the blood is no longer circulating and oxygen is not making its way around the body. So the brain becomes oxygen-starved. Because of the lack of oxygen getting to the cells, the cells are no longer able to carry on their various metabolic processes. Because of this, they can not repair the various kinds of damage they need or creat the amino acids and proteins they need. So as decay begins to set in and the cell’s structures begin to break down, they do not get repair as they would normally do and so eventually have breakdown of the crucial cell structure and then the body dead. This might be a long explanation of death but at least it is what death of the body is. However, can people still exist after bodily death? The answer maybe yes or maybe no, but not absolutely. Many people believe that people can still exists and keeping exist after body death, because they thought body and soul are separate, soul is something that nonphysical and  immaterial substance, it controls our body. When somebody dead, that may only for his or her body, his or her soul will still last, it is just people can not see it, because soul is immaterial exists. There are also have people thought that people are just  physical things, if physical dead, of course we are dead. No matter what kinds of opinion is, they all admit that physical are important. However, if you think it in another way: once you admit that people have body and soul that means you admit people is a combination, and now, if body part dead, the combination have been destroyed, the combination destroyed means the soul can not exists alone anymore because you have already admit that people is a combination. consequently, the result is that people are dead after physical dead. Question comes back again.

               I think people can still exist after bodily dead, but that come to an end is that I have to admit that people can not exist after dead. This is really a confusing problem.

why women are not usually be seen in business

          There is an interesting phenomenon that women always has a limited amount than men in business. Even today it is much better than before, the problem is still exist. In DEC 2010 washington, there been given a lecture about this problem, and it mentioned the problem still exist is that women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. 190 heads of state 9 are women,and only 13% are women in the parliament of the world. The numbers are going to decrease somehow.

        Three advice have been given if you really want to stay in workforce. One, sit at the table, do not sit on the side of the room; two, make your partner a real partner; three, don’t leave before you leave. Many times it is not because women are not smart than men or do not have the talent, it is because women systematically underestimate their own abilities. Usually a man attribute their success to themselves, however a woman tend to attribute to other external elements. The point is that women should realize how awesome they are when they are succeed, not the lucky not the god, just believe that they are gorgeous and they deserve it. Second is housework, women usually considered housework as their job, so they pay a lot of time and attention to concentrate on it. Sometimes it is not because men can not do housework or they do not want to, it is because women already manage all of them and get used to this kind of mode. Some women may even think that men stay home is not normal, and look down on them. That is totally a mistake! We have to make it as an important job, cause the hardest job in the world is to work inside the home. Only if we are going to give the things out, women can stay in the workforce. Third, women should keep passion and go for their dreams, a lot of women in order to plan their marriage, having baby spend too much vigour for two years three years or even more, they missed too much opportunity during this time and it can not be made up for. And they are going to be bored. So an important thing for women is to stay in, keep foot on the gas pedal. It feels good that you are making a difference.

               Hope in the not far’s future, we can see more track of  women in the business.

Languages

    

                     It seems that many people knew that China has considered English as it second language and  it is the truth. For me when I was in primate school I already began to learn English and my parents send me to a language school which open English classes in  children’s spare times. So untill now, I have been studied English for almost 10 years.  To see from this time, I should be a really good English speaker, but the truth is I still need a lot to learn.

                     In China students speak English only at English classes,  the teacher seldom  speak English during the whole class. Typically, the grammar and vocabulary are the main role in our study, so that’s why most of Chinese students are good at reading and writing. But it is another story for listening and speaking. Listening used took 20% of the whole point in the test, but recent years the listening part become less important. In our daily study, there almost have no communication in English, so speaking is a part which  should be pay more attention to. However, this is a general phenomena in many countries whose first language is not English. That can make sense for why I learn English for 10 years still not good at it. In my opinion, people who be about to study a foreigner language had better go into the enviroment in which people around you all speak that kind of language. This is the fastest way to manage a language, because when you want to express yourself you have to say and only in that kind of language. People will not understand you if you donot say their language. That force you to manage this language more quikly.

                 I am so admire people who know many different kinds of language.  Until now, I know a person who in my age can understand Chinese, Korean, Japanese and English which is so unbelievable. For me, I want to learn two more foreigner language which are Korean and Spanish. Cause these two language are so populoar, if i learned, I can understand more what people talk about and make more friends. That sounds so great!

Celebrities are not easy to be

            When talk about JB, a lot of girls probably go crazy for him. I mean not only girls, he had an extensive admires. People like his songs, his personality, he’s everthing. However, every coin has two sides, can’t deny that there are some people do not like him. Some comments that says something he did just stupid.

            But to see from another way,  Celebrity is not easy to be. For the first, they pay more effort than other people, no matter what they do, singing, dancing or play muscians, either way ask they to practise more and more to become better, that’s why they become celebrities. Everyone can sing , dance for a little bit,  but not everyone can become celebrities. People always see how attractive and amazing the celebrities on the stage , few people to concern about what they paid for their such popular. Also ,I think  the gossip is a part of a celebrity’s life,  celebrities need  to be followed with, let people to think what is going on about them, so that they can attract people’s attention at anytime. However the gossip maybe true or maybe not, but people want to see,and the reporter want to post, that’s the point!Some people may think what reported about them just stupid . But think a little bit more ,maybe the news are not true, maybe they just made up or they just want put something on magazine to let people pay attention about them.Even the things are true , can not prove he or she is that kind of person. Everyone did some stupid things in their life, we can not see one person just from one aspect, that is too narrow.The last thing is celebrities can become popular, must have their reason that desire people’s love, of course  they defenitely  have people dislike them, neverthless, as long as people who like them have a absolute superiority, they are successful .

            Anyway ,celebrities are not easy to be as we thought. If you do not like someone , it is cool. After all , they have their someplace to be admire.

what is the defination of being a man ?

    I heard a lot of discuss about what make people become a man , it can distinguish from physical also can from mind, but the true things is everyone has their own defination of being a man.

     In some place people divide man from boy by a certain ritual. For example, a teenage boy will spent four days and nights, without food or water, alone in the wilderness.  Stay in his vision pit, with some drug , blanket or something else. If he can live through this four days and come back to his community, then he will become a man no longer a boy. So ritual is a way to recognize a boy become a man in some religious area.

      In my opinion,at the very begining, I thought the difference between man and boy is to see whether he get married, but later on I felt that’s totally doesn’t make sense. Some people do get married but behaviors like a kid, not responsibility, hang out day and night, got drank and even do not go home during the whole night. Situations like that even he got married for 20 years still can not be a man. However, to give a proper explaination about this kind of opnion is only can see from the law, but lawyers say that you are a man doesn’t mean you are addimited by the society. There are some people think that the difference between a man an a boy is to see whether he was able to take care of himself and the people around him, there do have some example like a 12-year-old boy raise for the whole family, even he is only 12, he is mature enough, he know his responsibility, that’s exactly what the defination of a man are. So to recognize a person do not only from what he looks like. Some people 40 years old still can not be a man, some people only 12 years old can be a real man.

        What you behavior makes you are a man or not.

Unbelievable animals

          

              Do you know crows can remember a face for sevral years? It is unbelievable, but when I saw the artical I believed and they can also teach their children to watch out what kind of face. Researchers did an experiment . They trapped the crows and then five years later, they came back to the place, and found the birds still remember them and scolded them in mobs. One of the researchers said that, “it’s likely that they’re learning from their parents and their peers that this dangerous person is still out there”. Crows are clever according to the researchers said that they can use commen sense  to recongnize people’s face, not even pay attention on their wearing. So in order to make sure that the birds were responding to their face, scientists wore different mask to trap the birds. To their surprise the birds quickly learned that mask-wearer is a bad sign and a threaten to them, they came to scold the mask-wearer  anytime they saw him or her.

             This experiments show us that crows are savvy birds, we should treat  not only them ,including all the life things around us more better. Like my  puppy, everytime I can feel his feeling. There are several times when I was doing my work, surprised heard he sign, that seems he was saying,”I am so boring” , and I looked at him ,he gave a glance at me. There are also sometimes when I back from school and walking toward my room, he saw me and quickly ran in front of my room’s door, standing there, waiting me to open the door. He need to be loved, and I knew he can feel my love for him. He felt safe when we stay together, that’s why he can sleep like fall backwards with hands and legs in the air in my room.

            Animals can feel our love, love them and you can feel one thing from them ,that called TRUST.

What is the proper relationship between lovers?

      

         Yesterday  I saw a TV program which they mentioned a little bit about the relationship between lovers, and I think this is a pretty much important  topic that should be considered betweeen man and woman.

         The guy who was on TV said when he graduated from school he made a plan for himself to achive in the later few years : part-time job, then venture then part-time job again then venture again. But things not always go as we wish, when he failed his second time to set up his own business, his girlfriend still stay beside him to surpport him and never complain or yield. He said during that time the things that he did everyday at home is to wash clothes, cook meals and all this kind of things, however, his girlfriend went out to earn money and support their life. Neverthless, he is a man who has male chauvinist, he cannot stand this kind of life, so he choice to left his girlfriend peaceful. He think he was not able to give the happiness to the girl which he loved at that time.

         But I do not understand, as he said his girlfriend did not leave him even in his hardest time, why he still left her? On a girl’s side, I knew men need to support the family to get the pyschological satisfy. That mean he is the owner of the family. But I really will not care about the temproray change of the roles and never will I look down on a guy if he can not support his life just for a while. Many girls said that they would like to wait the guy to become successful, but the important thing is :the guy cannot wait. Only because of their pride. But on a man’s side , I think  that’s depond on how much confident do I have at that point. If I have enough confident , I can make sure in the not far future I will be able to support our life, if so , I can let this happen. But if I am not sure about my future, I donot know how long will this situation last ,even though sometimes you have to say that washing clothes and cooking meals is also a kind of career. I’d like to give out this relationship rather than rely on my girlfriend, even though I love her more than anyone else. That’s why people who have diffrent charecter may have different point of views of the same thing.

           In short ,”man manage the social business, woman manage the home business”, have already became a wellknown social system, people admite this and this is hard to break down.
