4/21 2021 Bio Photo

    Today, we went outside of class to take a single picture, showing the superior side of our campus. I decided to take a picture of the classroom on the first floor which had a wide window and was surrounded by greens. This environment gives the audience an image that the classroom gets enough sunlight. Others, went up to a higher floor to capture the campus from a different angle, making it seem like the buildings are much cleaner than in reality. We were choosing what to include in the picture and whatnot, controlling what people think. The same goes with politics. Electors are manipulated by members of the parliament and most likely only shown their righteous sides. We were changing bits of the school to make it seem like it was better than reality, which then becomes closer to "fake". 

    Photos for our Bio should tell the reader how powerful and dynamic we are. Therefore, blurring out the background or completely cropping off the background allows the picture to focus on the person. Moreover, I found out that slightly facing to the side creates a more professional look. Matching clothes, postures, and facial expressions with the content is key to a finer biography. 

notes: 

 remove bg is a website to crop/ remove the background of a picture

10/7 2021 meatrix

     In small groups, we watched short clips of the “meatrix”. They unfold the truth behind factory farming and industrial agricultural practices. The meatrix included scenes of the movie matrix, and by adding humor they were able to attract a wider audience. As of right now, the clips are available in 11 languages, which does not include Japanese. As Mr.Paterson mentioned, cognition regarding current issues is low in Japan. Not only does the video explain the issues surrounding factory farming, but it also gives out information on what viewers can do. Moreover, each version of the meatrix followed the storyline of the actual movies, which I found enjoyable.        I found it interesting how Mr. Paterson referred to this class as taking the "red pill". Over the past few years, my English skills have progressed, and was also able to gain more knowledge. Especially this year, learning about politics and systems of the government has shocked me in ma...

On march 7th Tuesday, the first lesson after the new era, we learned how to use the website "Blogger". However, since the WiFi was not working, it was difficult to catch up and get to the page. Although the internet was awfully slow, i was able to use the website. This website allows us to write our reflections for every class and i think that writing reflection are important things to do, because it enables us to look back and see what we thought about a specific topic or I can see how much I changed looking back at my own reflections. Therefore, I also think that keeping a diary is also essential; however, I know how having to do something every day is hard to do it continuously but the task that mr.paterson gave us made me think that this could be a beneficial habit.

Year 4 Reflective Blog

     One business strategy I was stunned by was planned obsolescence, which is a technique that is certainly not sustainable, yet too common in contemporary society. The product is planned and designed by the manufacturers to have a limit so that consumers would come back. For example, Japanese houses are said to last around 30 years; however, it usually takes 30 years to pay back the mortgage of the property. Houses are designed to deliberately deteriorate so that people would keep buying new houses. The same goes with terminator seeds which I was completely unaware of. The DNA of the seeds is tinkered so that only one plant grows and is terminated. This strategy procedure creates a cycle so that consumers would have to come back for more. From these examples, I was able to learn how the efficiency of marketing concentrates on profit rather than the quality of products. Although businesses need their profits in order to grow, it made me wonder whether these houses are wo...
