Our essay due was postponeded to 16th.
ah.
We got into groups and discussed what 12 items we would bring into an island. It was interesting how some people had sunscreen and baithing suit for those 12 items. I thought I was too unrealistic to think that I could kill an animal or cut down trees with a knife or axe. I would be running away if I actually face animals. So I thought I would need guns or AK-47s like the other group had said. ha.
It was the second to the last class with Rab.
Noo.

We had the last PWT in this class.
I picked the 2nd question which asked if Santiago achieved success or suffered failer.
I do not really remember what I wrote.
I only know that I wrote more then I thought I would.
I was so sick yesterday.

I read Yumi's blog and realized it.
This was Rab's last class held in ILC.
I always looked forward to this class and I am sad that won't have it anymore.
It entertained us but more then that, all those things that we learned in there had great impact to it. Rab made us think by using what we feel close to. And Computers. I dont think anyone has slept using computers during class.
Anyway, we first learned how to change a presentation to a video with our voice. Than Rab showed us clips of video. Some were telling us to make an act, and some were only making us think. Whatever the strategies you want to use, we already have technique and know how to make those vidoes. We have to think the best way to actually getting the audiences to stand up and make a move on what you state.
I thought the one with painting man's face on the walls were most effective. well, at least to me, it was. Maybe it is so because I already heard that it had succeeded and saved his life. But more then that, I think it would most effect me to make an act because I can see that everyone is doing it. I know it is not good to wait for the others on doing whenever I want to do. I know that in a world where everyone thinks that way, no one will make an act and nothing will be changed. And I am trying to get rid of the habit of following the crowd. But do you guys all think that you would actually go and paint that man's face to save his life? I would like to say yes and I really hope I will if I If you are not sure that this action would make a change would you still do it? Knowing that you would be breaking the law and spary painting on someone else's wall, would you do it even if you are alone?

In this class we had another discussion. This time it was about our essay. Each person were to say the thesis statement and give reasons why their statement is right. Then all the other people in the group were to point out how they are wrong or weak on some points. I was the last one to go, I only told my group what I my topic is after the class was over. We took too much time on each person at first. Well it means that we had things to say for that long so I dont think it is a bad thing.

I was one of the "students who has only read less than 20 pages and will fail the test". But that was only till yesterday, 08th. I will finish it by todaaay. todaaaaaay. uh maybe not but i will tryyy.
When we were all discussing on different interpretation on OMS, I just started saying random things. I was in a group with Izumi Yumi and Tomoaki. We somehow concentrated on the interpretation of the sea, and only sea for the most part. First, one of us said that it represented woman. We thought that it was the interpretation that would fit most likely, but we had to go against it. So another disagreed that the ocean represent ocean itself. Since Hemingway loved nature and "protected" them, ocean could be just simply be ocean. haha. and Then, another disagreed that ocean could be Hemingway's life. Those fish that are in the ocean, or in his life, is his wives. When it came to the last person, we all ran out of ideas since we only looked at the ocean. It was only the last minute we started to discuss about other events or charactors in the novel. We kinda sucked at that dibating haha.
I will watch the Earthlings after Rabs BBQ party.

I had so many question marks during today's class. Could any conservationist be a hunter at the same time? Does it make a difference if one eats the meet after they hunt? So there would not be any difference if it is hunted for food or just for pleasure? Should human be in charge of controlling the number of existing animal? Do we have rights to kill them if they are too many or do the animals have the right to live no matter what. What about those cows that are being killed for foot-and-mouth disease? Why are we not cure them but kill all, even those that does not have the disease yet? ah I do not know. ha it is so easy if I could just get away with that on everything. "I do not know".
I had tutorial today. It helped me in many ways haha. What we need is comfortable situation. Then we can try new things without being scared of it. Like P&D practice. yes comfort.

Once again we had another 2 continued period of classes in ILC. We got to work on our essays for the whole time. This time, however, Rab went around the class and did like a mini-tutorials for everyone. It helped me A LOT since I still had trouble on trying to pick a topic.
I finally chose a topic now and I will not change it i hope. I am no longer doing cross cultural communication in business. I'm sorry Kana and Yuji. But I am still writing about cross cultural communication, I have not changed that.
My research question is
Is the new technology released by NEC which is shaped like eye-glasses working as a language translator efficient enough to solve the conflicts that occur in cross cultural communication.
uh
