After wathed "Baraka"

Question 1
-Volcanoes/ Organics. The Scene showed me several nature place, volcanoes, maybe Grand Canyon, Ayers Rock etc)

Question 2
-I'm always impressed when I watch quite nature place which human have never involved. In my opinion, nature is most beautiful than any other object human make.  
-Those places in the scene  are beautiful and very powerful as well. Especially, the scene of volcano made me feel power of the earth.
Question 3
-As I watched the scene of volcano, I felt kind of anger and powerful. In other scene, I felt cool, hope, and joy.
Question 4
-In this chapter, it showed the move of sky in one day, sunrise to night. It made me recall the scenery of Hawaii island. I watched sunrise and stars there, and I felt the earth is awesome, like anything can't outweigh nature. Human being made many innovations and technology have been developing greatly but it's nothing compared to the earth. I felt we, human being, are living on "The Earth"  The scene made me think it again.

Journal 15

Hello mom, you allow me to do most things, but you don't allow me travel along yet. You always said to me you are not enough age to travel along, but I became 20 which is regarded an adult, a man in general.  And there is many advantages to do it. I can try myself and grow up by traveling alone, because I have to prepare everything  by myself. Nobody doesn't help me. It's good situation to grow. Maybe I would mistake something, but it also might be good experience. What I need now is to live by myself, so I want to try how much I can do by myself. Strongly I want you to understand my feeling. Thank you mom

Jeff Zillgitt(2011,Nov 28) NBA deal not perfect but sides can go with it. US today Retrieved november 28, 2011http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-11-27/NBA-deal-not-perfect-but-sides-can-go-with-it/51428032/1


NBA was locked out, almost two months, because NBA players had negotiated raising up their income with owners. The negotiation had been failed many time, but finally they finally had a deal. Jeff Zillgitt states (2011, Nov 28) that "instead of the NBA winning in a rout, the players scored important deal points in the final hours of negotiations with the league and made the outcome respectable. Those include concessions from owners on annual raises and the mid-level exception, which allows clubs to surpass the salary cap and luxury tax threshold to sign free agents"  It became clear to begin 2011-12 NBA season on Dec 25 on Christmas, but their negotiation is still not result that players expected perfectly, and the detail of the deal has still been talked.

Alexandra Le Tellier,The wrong way to fight terrorism? [The reply]Los Angels Times Retrieved November 7 2011http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2011/11/the-wrong-way-to-fight-terrorism-the-reply.html

In this article, the author cite Andrew Cockburn's reply about "whether targeted killings were the most effective way to fight terrorism" who is an investigative journalist. And he said assassinations is not effective way to fight terrorism, because according to the study conducted by Rex Rivol, there no evidence to support killing big terrorist. He gives us an example of  the assassinations of Isoroku  Yamamot and said it is just miracle that not to fight back.  Cause,Logo

I agree with his opinion. I was wondering why American people are celebrating when Osama Bin Laden was killed. I thought it made terrorist more violently. There is nothing terror in the U.S so far, but we are afraid of there vengeance. Then I think American militarily should have captured because it's safer than assassination.

Journal 10: Advice

My two brothers are people usually giving me advice. I've gotten much advice from them. And most all of them are helpful for my life. One of them is reading lots book. Both of them like reading and they always reading various kinds of books. When I was in a high school, second brother told me read lots books, if you don't have anything to do, and he said "Reading books is an investment in myself" Before he said to me, I didn't like reading. However, I tried to follow his the advice, and gradually it become my new hobby. Now I love reading books. And I understand the meaning of his word "Reading books is an investment in myself". I can learn many things which can't learn at school or internet by reading book.

However, I rarely was sought advice from friends. Sometime my junior friends sought me advice. At that time I always said "Don't regret later, so do something you really want to do" It's also my motto. Even if you would regret, did it, and regret. The worst  thing is that didn't do anything and regret. I follow this word, so I usually gave my friends this word as my answer.
