Daily Assignment #5 - Plagiarizm

I promise I will not plagiarize on any of my paper that I write in this class. I have tried plagiarizing few years ago. But, first of all one virtue that I value the most is not lying.  When I was a kid, I used to lie a lot and was good at it. But as time passed, I realize lying never solves anything and cause more problems. I consider plagiarizing as a form of lying. So, I do not prefer lying. Some might say it is “Karma” but anyways one of the reason I prefer not lying is because it always comes back to me and haunts me. Repeated experience taught me that at desperate moments lying might look like an easy way out, but it is not. So now taking consequences is much more comforting than lying for me. Another main reason is I do not learn anything from it when I plagiarize. As I am aging I realize the money our family is spending on my education. The amount of money that is spent on me is not a small amount. I really want it to be worth it. I need to learn and gain something. The best way to learn something is by actually doing it, and practice what I need to do. Last, I love being creative. Recently I have some problems mentally, so I have some troubles, but still I love creating. There might be not much in my brain, but I want to pour out from my mind as much as I can. These are the reasons for not plagiarizing.

Daily Assignment #4 - Crocodile

Crocodiles are bigger than normal animals and they are much more powerful. With his physic, his appearance supports his potential. Crocodiles’ leather is thick and bulky that shows the toughness of crocodile. The teeth and his other features look very rough, but it shows the masculinity of not caring not like well-organized feminism. Crocodile has the beauty and the symbol of raw masculine power. So, Crocodiles are majestic, powerful, and amazing creatures.

Crocodiles teeth and eyes are uneven, their general look looks like an uneducated country side farmer that only know their strength who tries to solve everything with their fist. As a result Crocodiles are ridiculous looking, silly, and lame creatures.

Daily Assignment #3

This is a YouTube video explaining how a Chrome book catches a virus. The person in the video just washes his hand with a sanitizer, and says that Chrome books do not catch viruses.  Recently a lot of Window based computers have trouble with viruses and other spam wares and that is actually a huge issue with people who doesn’t know computers well.  So, it does draw a lot of attention to the audience. Chrome book advertisers could have explained the detail and reasons of how and why they don’t need virus protection (since only Windows has problems with viruses) but then there will be a really small amount of audience who will understand this and follow. Instead of a boring explanation, Chrome book choose to approach more generally for the wide audience cleverly and humorously to explain how those problems can be solved. 

Daily Assignment #2

At first, I really didn’t understand this advertisement at all. This is a Lego ad, which is for kids. The image itself is too strong for children and when we usually think about Lego ads the main audience is likely children and they should try to seduce the children to want them. But after reading the logo “Kids shouldn’t watch too much tv” it starts kind of making sense. Since, the people who actually buy the Lego are the kids’ parents. So the company’s main goal of this ad is to approach the main source of the actual buyer. First using strong disturbing image to approach to audience with pathos, and using the logo to give the audience logos to think. If kids are busy playing with Legos, they are likely to watch less tv. With that logic the image comes more with emotional impacts. Cleverly the gun he is holding is censored but still we can see that it is built with Legos. Even though he is trying to shoot himself but since it is a Lego the effort is useless.  So, he actually can’t kill him self. I think it implies that Lego can prevent these terrible events from actually happening.

Daily Assignment #1

this ad is from Youtube ads. It shows you like this picture, and asks you to click on the picture to learn more. It is really a common ad for hair lost. This ad doesn’t tell you anything; it just shows a man who seems to have lost the hair on top of his head, and after what ever happened; he gained his hair. I am not bald. So, I really can’t say emotionally how much this affects the mind of the people who doesn’t have hair, but I am pretty sure this will stir the mind of people who have lost their hair. There are trying to use mainly ethos and pathos to get attention of the audience, but at the same time there has been so many similar ads out there for hair loss, and if these actually really work this would had been issued all over the world. But so far I haven’t heard the news anywhere yet. These days there are so much fake manufactured pictures that effectiveness of ethos will be decrease and as the effectiveness of ethos decreases people feel betrayed; as a result people’s pathos will rather provoke and work against the ads. But at the same time they still put out the same ads as always, maybe this means humans mind are that much fragile.

Myself and What I hate.

    Hi, my name is Wonbae Kim. I am Korean, from South Korea. (A lot of people ask if I'm from North or South Korea but, in my opinion, that is kind of a stupid question to ask.) People have hard time pronouncing my name and I have actually given up on correcting them and just say how they pronounced my name is right. But I found a way to write my name closest to how it is supposed to sound: “Onebeh”. In Korean my name is written as “원(one)배(beh)”. ‘Won’ sounds more like a Chinese word. Actually, the word ‘원’ has  the meaning of ‘best’ (however, Korean people doesn’t use ‘원’ when they want to say ‘best’; it is kind of complicated) and sounds exactly like ‘one’. So, ‘one’ actually fits perfectly because the meaning of ‘best’ is 'number one at something'. Sometimes I use “Onebeh” as my internet name. The proper pronunciation of ‘Kim' is ‘Gim’ (not ‘Jim’). You will find lots of people with the family name Kim in Korea. Actually, Kim is one of the most common family names in Korea; but the Kim family name has a lot of different branches so not everyone with that name is related to each other. The Kim family is supposed to be an ancient loyal family. The word “Kim” has the meaning of “Gold” so, on the internet and in places that don't need legal names, I use the name ‘Onebeh Gold’.
    But enough about my name, now I will talk about what I hate. There are two things I really hate. One is easy to explain and probably most people will easily understand; it's when things don't work how I wanted them to work. It is not that I hate it on the first try; I try many times and put a lot of effort to it, but then it still doesn’t work I start to get mad at it. This is probably the same for everyone. The other thing I hate is kind of hard to give you one example but if I combine all my experiences, I can conclude one thing: when people act a certain way sometimes it annoys me a lot. So I think about it and try to figure out why it makes me so mad. If I think hard enough, I realize that it's because I do exactly the same thing. From that point on, when I see the annoying person I see myself; this is the most frustrating part. It is just so sad that what I do can be so annoying to others, and at the same time I can’t love that person because they do something that annoys me. So, this means that others also can’t love me because of that certain act. A similar incident happed to my most loved person; a person who I loved left me because of my actions and l was hoping to get her back later. Time passed and I was still hoping to get her back, but then I met a person that I hated so much. I realized that all of his actions and reaction to me were a mirror of what happened to me and my ex-girlfriend. I realized there is no way I will like the person I hate so, it was completely hopeless.
    I wonder why I hate anything that reminds me of my faults. One thing I realized is the first thing I have mentioned: that I cannot seem to get myself to work the way I want to. There are so many things I wanted to do and work in certain ways, but my body and mind won’t listen. So many people left because of my mistakes. Because there were so many disgraces and so much pain to others and myself, how can I like myself? The only hope is that I am a fool and inefficient. I don’t give up; I hate things that don’t work out the way I want them to, but I am a fool that keeps trying and failing until there are no more chances even though I know it won’t work, but I keep hoping it will. Someday my body and mind will work how I want them to.
