Blog entry 7: reflection and evaluation

I learned more about annotating through this class than last semester and I thought that I needed to improve my sentence structures.The problem I face in this class is that reading fast enough to follow the class. I also think that I should know how to organize the whole essay and how to make reasons to support main idea to move ahead now. while I was taking the CAT-W test, I felt like I needed to know more vocabulary to understand the passage given on the CAT-W test and I needed more time to finish the writing. From the passage, I got a question about whether using cellphone in the public school is acceptable or not? and I didn't agree with using cellphone in the public school. As I see my experience, using cellphone never works positively to education. I hope I have more reading to practice to pass this class.

In"allegory of the cave" author tells a story to show how far human nature is enlightened or unenlightened. There are some prisoners who have been in an underground den for a long time from their young childhood. Their bodies are chained so that they can not move and can see only the shadows which is thrown from the fire behind them. One day, a prisoner got released accidentally and he saw the light from the sun and real world. Finally,he realized that what he saw before was an illusion and not everything in the world. Author points out that people believe that only what they see and know is the truth and everything without knowing that there are more beyond them in their life.

After I read "allegory of the cave" it reminds me of experience that I had. when I was young, I used to believe that the world was going around me. I thought that I'm the center of the world and everybody was looking up to me. My parents always took care of me and i thought that they could get anything if I wanted. When I was in high school, i failed many classes but I did not mind it and took it easy about my grade. I  thought that at last, I was going to be successful anyway because I had a dominating thought and I felt like the world needs me. I also thought that there is nothing more important than me in the world. One day, one of my friends told me to wake up and emphasized that the world doesn't center around me. When i heard that, I was shocked and i thought it over then. Finally, I realized that I was wrong. The reality was that all men are created equal and there is no one who is higher and more important than others.

I think that author wants people to find whether they are still chained or walking out to the light in their lives. I advise that people should find what stage they are and if they are chained, try to find the truth beyond the reality they believe which may be an illusion. I hope more people to find the truth and  face the truth without being scared.

In today's world, people come across many advertisements. advertisements are everywhere as far as people can see these days and people are affected by these environment in anyways. There are some opinions about this. Some people say that flood of advertisements is harmful and it affects adversely people's life. Others argue against this. i agree that too much advertising has bad influences on people's life.

In "hype" the author talks about how the advertisement are most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollution. There are more than 3000 marketing messages per a day on TV and the reality is that commercial advertising is increasing steadily and relentlessly. People see advertisements every where they can see like nozzle, bank, billboards, school, even supermarket. no more places are exempt from flood of advertisements and no one will be spared.

I believe that commercial advertising has some bad influences on people's life. people see TV commercial or advertisement at least 1 time a day. There is too much violence on TV commercial now days. these things are exposed to everybody even, young children. If young children watch these violent stuff on TV, they can imitate the violent behavior from TV commercial and it will make them think that it is right things to do in real life. For example, children who watch a lot of violence often fight with friends in school and they don't realize whether what they did is wrong or not. Sexual themes are also one of the bad influences of TV commercial.
Some TV commercial have sexual images or activities that are not good for young children. These images or activities may remain in their mind as they grow up and lead to become sexually active in a early age. Since they have a wrong information about sexual things, it can cause them to become pregnant or get infected with sexual disease. Therefore, I think that too much commercial advertising affects people's life
I hope more people to be aware of these bad influences and be careful from being steeped in an adverse effect.

I read a essay a passage with the class and it gives me the way to think deeply.When i discuss about "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" with my partners, we find that this passage doesn't make sense and author just talks about google is so bad and explain that google makes us not to think deeply without giving us enough reasons. author also mentions about texting, and cellphone, but these are not related with how google make us stupid. I learn how to understand passages easily from reading by annotating it. When i annotate a passage, I can get what the author want to say and what kind of argument there is. therefore it helps me to be better writer as i annotate a passage or essay.
