This week in Sex and Gender in Asia, we talked about homosexuality, and how advertisement actually use this to attract customers.

These ads with gay or lesbian themed draw complaints from consumers who prefer traditional appraches to peddling products. But what draws the most complaints across all Levi’s print and TV commercials is actually the line “all asses were not created equal”. Consumers claimed it an insult to women size six and over.

& So the Q&A section continues…. i’m just wondering if the questions we’re about to ask will go infinity, or people already knew all the answers but “Adrian said we have to ask a question each”.

The house is quiet as brother are went out. Parents is in a different country. But I do love time alone. Today I started the day reflecting while reading James 3 from the Bible. It talked about watching our tongues when we speak. Do we curse a lot or do we say kind things with genuine love? It made me ponder on my own actions. I do curse sometimes. And I want to change and stop that habit. It just doesn’t do any good to anyone. Not to you. Not to the person you’re cursing at.

I did some spring cleaning as well. I spent the whole day cleaning the house. Thank god we’re only living in an apartment here. Despite how tired I was, I loved finding little misplaced things as I was cleaning. I found so many photographs and old books and jewellery! Now I am resting with Ginger listening to Mumford & Sons.

This is how our tutor explain the idea of ‘Single-loop’ and ‘Double-loop’ learning. For what i think, the main idea i’ve got from this reading is that single looping is like the more ‘traditional’ way of learning where there are plans or paths given based on the situation, rather than being questioned. Whereas for double loop learning, its often a two way kind of learning practices where its more than just fixing the problem, this is the style of learning questions the underlying assumptions, values and beliefs behind what we do.

Week 1 Readings: Blogs in Media Education

Using blogs in media education…its funny how this is the first course that requires us to do blogging. Running across all the other blogs, some would say “to be honest this is my first blog..” We’re in the field of media and communication, and blogging came way before all the social networking like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Its like the sword of a ninja, its a form of tools for what i see. In my opinion, i feel that blogs are way more influential as compared to Facebook advertisement, and the blogging platform are huge.

Apart from media and communication courses, below is a video that generally talks about why should people use blogs and wikis for their education. (and yay i linked something on my blog)

But wait…. we’re in the school of media. We do cool stuff. We’re not supposed to take notes with our laptop, ipad or phones. But we’re required to blog about the lecture afterwards…. So what do we blog about?

Week 1’s “unlecture” was indeed the coolest ‘lecture’ i’ve been to. But i guess blogging is not my area of strengths, so i guess drawing will do… 😉
