Chinese Discrimination

As a person who could enjoy a good laugh, I don’t really care about discrimination against people similar to me (to a degree as just making jokes is okay as it is all for the laugh, however getting beaten for the type of person you identify as will anger me) so I have heard my fair share of stereotypes. I would be focusing on the stereotypes of a Chinese individual. I heard many jokes about Chinese individuals like how they have tightly small eyes, about small body proportions, consumption of any animal (it is negative because many places that at eating their own pets), strict parents, poor communication, and being unable to identify with common trends like video games. Even the positive aspect of are negative as people expect us to be higher in the academic studies, people expect us to apologize after any event, and people expect us to be able to fix a computer. Stereotypes aren’t always harmful or should I say they aren’t meant to harm others often. Stereotypes are built under the foundation that information can be filled if two pieces of information are similar. What better platform can abuse this thought process better than media. It has always been out their form propaganda to twitter posts. Our brains automatically associate the information as true because we don’t know any better. Media has portrayed many Asian stereotypes in a strange light as there are many different Asian cultures that are very similar therefore it is most lumped together as there is a lot of information, for example all Asians are ninjas but, that is only Japanese. Our jobs as a misunderstood type of culture is to explain these misconceptions when they portray us from a very different perspective than our own. In general, we should understand that stereotypes can be far from the truth and we should judge others on these stereotypes as it could offend them or create a negative perspective on the people, thus we must explain who we are if someone is just assumes who we are. I have a different ideology and that is we should save them the trouble of being embarrassed and just laugh about it if we can.

Fake News, The New Uncontrollable Propaganda

Let’s talk about fake news. Now people are experiencing this either knowingly or unknowingly. The reason we receive, it is because the media is a business like a lot of things. These businesses need profit, so they draw viewers in with interesting news. Not every day it is interesting, so they stretch the truth or just plain out lie. Also they don’t care where the content came from, just as long as it is interesting to keep the masses watching. This fake news happen to a lot of news outlets even trustworthy news outlets.
In order to identify fake new you must first question the article's validity like if it is a trustworthy site, do other sites also have this information, the likelihood and other questions the Globe and Mail talks more about the fake news and everyone should watch it as it makes a lot of sense, but as a news site question it since they are a business too. Also take the quiz to test your judgement abilities on fake news. What I got was a six out of ten.

I think I got that because I have difficulty telling the difference between fake news and satires. I learnt that people do fake news for political gain, people do crimes by altering the information, people just do it for popularity via viral pranks. I also learnt that fake news isn’t satires, and mistakes. Fake news is very unacceptable as it can influence the masses and change people's lives even if it isn’t verified. Fake news is terrible as it hurts who ever it targets negatively. Fake news harms people when they don’t know that it's fake because it can cause people to believe in horrible things for example a D.I.Y lava lamp was actually a bomb killing those who tried. People are very easily tricked or manipulated by these actions.

The School Systematically Stop Students Sight in Sites

There is always limitation when accessing a tool like safety precautions however, should a school block certain sites on their internet to prevent students and teachers from accessing them. Like in all conflict there can be an exception, for example the media department has a blog unit in which teacher question students then, student blog about their answers. In one particular case students had to answer to the twitter war. The student doing that blog would have to view a few article for the information however, if one such student tried to access twitter to view the actual tweets that caused the war, they will not be able to access it. People should be productive in school as it determines how well you will live life. These sites are for recreation use and can reduce productivity however it is up to the user to access these as jobs don’t have direct limitations on these sites however, they do have strong consequence like getting fired.

The use should be a teacher matter as students could access it for actual information to drive their points. Teacher would most likely not use it for their recreational use as they have a job and with all job if you get caught fooling around, you can be labelled as an inefficient worker and get fired. In all of this the teacher should have most power over the internet because they work directly with the student to create a good learning environment. Even though the three sites, Instagram, Snapchat and Netflix, are mainly for recreational use they can still be access for knowledge like in different forms of media like movies, or can be used to judge user like Donald Trump. The main change that I want to address is the shift in power as teacher the second main source for student to receive knowledge should be able to control the first main source of information, the internet.

This is no longer about Gender this is about the Internet

The one motto I stand for is that if one wanted to be treated as equal, one must look at all perspectives to truly be an equal. This statement stands even to the social network giant of Twitter and in nowadays Twitter conflicts began to arise. One of which has an article that caught my eye, which is the conflict between Stephanie Guthrie and Gregory Alan Elliott with the article rightly named Wars of the Hashtaggers. After reading the article (http://torontolife.com/city/crime/twitter-gender-war-stephanie-guthrie-vs-gregory-alan-elliot/) I came to a conclusion, I have doubts on humanity. In all seriousness, these precautions did more harm than good. Gregory Alan Elliott lost a lot in the situation even though he had technically won the war. The man lost his job and is now a target to Stephanie Guthrie supports. The general feeling is actual doubt in the situation because it is really unbelievable on people’s actions to create drama. 

The people that are involved in the situation I feel are all wrong as Gregory was put into jail, Stephanie kept this going on to create tensions, and the justice system treated this as a rape. The people in the justice system, lengthen the time of trial to such a long degree that evidence was simply running away. The punishment itself is horrible as Gregory was put into jail before a fair trial came into a resolution. 

I think that actions on the internet can be punishable by law however to a degree as people are very unreliable on the internet thinking that they are protected by a simple screen. For some examples death threats that are highly detailed, actual murder scenes, (because some people can be traumatised after that) and content that is unacceptable because it targets a certain group. However I don’t think that a tweet that disagree with someone is punishable by jail time.

Work and How to Master it

Work something that is either difficult or not interesting to prevent you from doing it. These are a few tips on how to both complete and achieve beyond your limits. First, if the work is very difficult then, organize it may seem unnecessary at first but, once you create it you can create your ideas in both a fluent and professional way. Using this organization will give access to due dates or periods of time in which you can work on it or perhaps you are doing a project where you can't consult with your group member first dividing the work will create balance in the amount of work done. Secondly, it will make work mounts easier to do over a period of time like, a bit for a day or if you are like me subjects per day. It is both easy to apply, and can be applied to anything.

Now how do you divide the work you divide it first with the basics and anything you want to establish earlier. Secondly, you do the easy stuff first because you are going to have to do it anyway and as long as you can understand the context in which it is use like for example you have to read so and so pages and answer these true and false questions.Well, you do not do the question first because you need to understand what they're asking by reading the pages. For all the hard questions, ask the teacher and consult (or if it is a workplace just ask employees or even the boss) they are not going to scold you for not knowing and what is the worst they can do for not knowing. For finalizing your work you need to read it out loud because it helps you understand the flow and knowledge which is close end like short answer, read the book again and asks these questions in your head does this apply both to my knowledge and the books? Have I fully understood the books? Have I gotten all information, both necessary and unnecessary from this book?

How do you like to do the work? First you need to establish a connection with the work and yourself by applying stories into examples for clarity or, think about how does this apply to you? For example, this blog for English work and I made it interesting by writing my thoughts and I will be using it to remind myself how to get through in tough times of workload by using these points.

Here are the tips summarized:

• organize work
• do the easy work first
• ask questions
• make it interesting

To meme or not to meme?

When I think about the media I think relinquish the system, stop with this standardizing of genders and stop this stereotyping of minority groups for their skin tone and gender, but I think this kid went too far when he sued them for making fun of his haircut. This story gain praise and is an article(www.bbc.com) about this one kid who sued media for making fun of his hair cut, not verbally but visually by the memes. This kid named Ziggy from Australia sue when a picture of him on his 18th birthday became widespread and he was now on the internet among the memes. Now, it wasn’t to make fun of himself at first with the picture, but the media praise with the use of the picture by manipulating it and using iconic meme for other enjoyment. Ziggy didn’t take kindly to this and tried to sue them for these wretched images displaying his ridiculous haircut. A few of these dreadful displays at the defensive, and delirious delinquent disapproval are a horse, coin, skunk hair, mop, bill and many others.
Now, the question that remain do I think these actions at rational or irrational. Well, I think the media shouldn’t be held responsible for the case. The media should be along the lowest to be held responsible by the creators of this meme, and the consumer that poked fun. He should really blame either the photographer that took the picture, the barber who made the hair cut or himself for not only approving the haircut, but allowing it to head to the internet, well knowing what those on the internet are capable of. The media only increase the popularity with memes. He was the root source to allow something like this to happen to himself. People do make fun of him for the haircut, but if it makes it so uncomfortable, then he should just change the hairstyle or wear a hat.
