Orchestra season one(2)

After several weeks, I have the new thoughts for orchestra. In this activity, I get to know people who also has the same interest with me. Outside of academic, orchestra is a activity that I enjoy a lot and I am pleased to be able to join it. Recently we are practicing the Christmas song for the concert before the Christmas break; the song is impressive. By doing orchestra, I learned about my strength and weakness of personal musical skills. Not only developing my musical skills, I also develop collaboration skills since we are playing as a ”group”. Besides playing in orchestra, we have to practice the piece in our free time. Since I am taking itp now, sometimes the teacher will also giving me some helps and tips for practice orchestra piece. In orchestra, it really develop my interest in music. I enjoy playing with people, and I enjoy the condition of playing with people.

Lang and Gender

The two advertisement that I analysis today is  The value of two advertisements conveyed here is women’s power; Women’s independency. The only different in between these two ads is the right advertisement seems more emphatic and intensive. Both of them provoke the thinking of gender inequality. Nowadays in some LEDc countries the gender issue is serious. Some of the girls are having the marriage in the young age involuntarily, having the lower position in family as a wife, etc. The craftsmanship here explore the idea of women’s independency. Which women do not need to rely on men, women can be in the position same as men. As a result, both of the advertisement are encouraging women’s independency, thus get people’s attention by focusing on women’s right.

Orchestra season one(1)

In Orchestra, I play the 2th violin. I was here since the year I join the school, and I fell into it so much. I thought there are just over 10 people playing in orchestra. However, there are there are over 25+ of people in it! It amaze me so much while I just joined in. This year is my second year in orchestra. In orchestra, we are not only improve our individual music skills but also train the collaboration skills. Also, to know about the strength and weakness of personal musical skills. The songs that we had played last year was impressive, that is one of reason why I was passion in orchestra so much. I hope everything will go well in orchestra this year, and I am looking forward and feeling exciting to play with my friend within this activity.

How #metoo movement impact the society and related to global issues

The society that we are living now has lots of issue that are happening now. Gender inequality is one of the issue which related to #metoo movement. The #metoo movement makes people to be aware of gender inequality and racism problems that are happening around us. In IB concept of identity and representation, #metoo movement changes the Television entertainment the representation men and women, which they will be more carefully putted the gender in to the same place. Furthermore, the television entertainment show producer will be thoughtful to avoid anythings factors that make the relation to show gender inequality and racism. In past, the identity that shown in television of women is the ”tradition women”. Now, women shown in television are ”modern women”. Tradition women is which women stays in home and serve for men family members which shown lack of freedom. Women was ruled under the society. Modern women is the opposite, it shows women relevant existence within the society. In South America, the Catholic countries, women are fighting for their own right in their own culture. The other example is Japan. In Japan, sexual harassment happens frequently within their society. Is shame for women to said it out loud. Besides the shamefulness, even they said it out it will not really getting much support to resolved the issue. Therefore, in these two cases, what they are in common is their declaration is to stay away from the domestic violence, due to it against women’s right. These global issues are related to #metoo, and the #metoo movement helps to caught the attentions and gather the support globally.

PSE- emotional intelligence and empathy reflection

I have learn several types of emotions that present by people that we could straight forwardly understand what are the stelnghths and weakness our-selfs. It benefit me academically because it improve my EQ. By proving this, I have being more aware of my-self. Furthermore, it leads me to an enliving live. I would like to be more positive in order to make my-self more emotional intelligence in my own life.

Representation of text

Can text ever be truly representative of group of people?

No, text can’t be truthly representative for a group of people since in humanity, text is not a priority choice for human being use to communicate, symbolize or represent. I guess human beings are more willing to communication by saying words out loud instead of using text as the representative of group of people. The existence for text is for the long-distance purpose communication or even transform the ideas to the later generation. For example, million years ago when the technology is not that efficiency and develop much as now, people don’t own a cellphone, what they can use is only text. On the other hand, if we say that we have to find a way to truly represent group of people, symbol is always better then using text. The reason is text is art but is not common for everyone. Even though nowadays more and more people know how to read, but there are still amount of people does not receive the proper education. Symbol is a common language that people might able to get the ideas straight away. I don’t totally agree with the statement of using text as way to truly represent group of people. But if for own religious passing purpose I might stand on fence because I believe any culture might held their own ways to pass the ideas to their next generations. Also, if we said that we heavily need to use text in our daily, we could not avoid it, I do agree. However, I don’t believe truly represent if only using words-to-words visually.

 

Who gets to represent a group and who does not.

To say in common sense, the head of group will called to represent a group. Other people whom do not live reverently in group do not receive the opportunity to represent a group. To link with the previous question-’’Can text ever be truly representative of group of people?’’ Text can’t, but symbol can. Human can think, and be creative. Language is not always the best for communication, because we could not ensure everyone know the same language. Symbol can straight away represent and transform the information. Since symbol act such a relevant place of presenting a group, but how do it create a relation with text truly represent group of people? At the beginning stage of represent a group, we could use symbol to letting everyone else to know our believe, then is language. Language is made by lots of different kinds of symbols, can you imagin? Language is create for more efficient representative. Moreover, if a team is capable enough, using language can create such tremendous rendering which in this stage we can said that is a successful develop representative of group forever.

 

EE reflection

In my extended essay, I think I get the main point of of this essay, and I got to phase it is a good way. However, I need to put more focus on my argument in order to support my main point. I should proof read my work after I have done it. I was writing a sociology related for my extended essay. My topic is ‘’Was changing family structure more relevant than workplace participation in addressing gender inequality in post-war America.’’. The topic that I am doing is different with I thought. However, after having a discussing with teacher I feel like I am more confident with taking this topic to write an essay. Within the essay, I do much research and combine the information and graphs that I found in Google to make an essay. Also, I do put my opinion in it. I do express my personal thought in it at the very end of paragraph. Through this essay, I got to know more about how women lives within the period of post-war America. I was quite in to it, and I am looking forward to do this kind of extended essay in the future.

 

Winnie Wu- Sustainability individual assessment

The sustainability can be define as the relevant concept- the process that people work on it in order to protect or even improve the environment. It composed by the three main element: social, economic and environmental. Moreover, by knowing the ecological footprint and get the data from it helps us to do with improve the sustainability.

The ecological footprint gives out the result of where I have been produce the most carbon dioxide, and where can I change within the lifestyle in order to be more sustainable. Transportation and buy the stuff that I don’t need are the two main habits that contribute but to my ecological footprint. I had been taking too much plane and taxi that impact the earth by produce too much carbon dioxide. Moreover, it damaged the atmosphere- recently due to too much carbon dioxide is produced, so part of ozone layer has been break down part of it. It is a serious issue because the ozone layer helps to absorb the UV rays. If people do not take to action to cut down the carbon foot print, than human will easily to die because we can’t get in touch with UV- or else we might get the skin disease. My second habit is that too much wastes are created produced- by buy stuffs that I don’t need. For example, sometimes I do not bring a water bottle, so I will get in to a store nearly to buy a plastic bottle water. Moreover, it damaged the environment because much wastes(like plastic) can’t be absorb by the soil immediately- it might takes billion of years or even more.

The action that I would like to do it in order to make the change is that to take the public transportation instead of Taxi- try buy the thing only that I really need or I cannot live without it. The other way to do it is to make a item list to tell my-self do not buy more that what I need while I step in to the store. If I only can make one change within my life, I would like to take the public transportation instead of taxi. However, to be honestly is hard for me to get rid of plane because I am an international student that I live in the boarding house- I have to leave when meet the break or holidays. This change will help me to reduce 1/3 of my ecological footprint. This action can be start at now- I don’t need much plan and I does helps much.

Through this project- I have the get the more understanding of consequences for sustainability. The ecological footprint is a result for a person that shown the data of a measurement of produce for carbon dioxide. After reading that result we know where could me improve- where could we make the changes in order to be more sustainable. Moreover, I would like to take the transportation so that I can’t cut down 1/3 of my carbon foot print.

 

Winnie Wu- 2nd reflection

The best part of this project was the infographic, because we have done some amazing work on it. During this project I have learned how to make a infographic and hoe to make your own site professionally.The most challenging thing for me was building the site- so later on my group mate just cover it for me. However, we have tried to figure it out at the very beginning when we just start the project. I had to be creative when we are creating the info-graphic because it is a way to tell the client what we want him/her to know whiteout reading the text. In our team- I was the most creative because I come up a idea with create a timeline in infographic. I feel thankful that while I am doing the work, my teammates are really nice that they are willing to help me while I am facing the difficulty.
