Last week, I saw the movie named "Matrix" in my creative minds class. This is my first time to see this interesting movie. I was deep attracted by some details, especially at beginning of the movie. When the hero Neo find he is different from other people, and always have some stranges want to find him and give him some troubles. He is confused, and he do not know what happened and what he should to do. However, the boss find he and help he, he want to tell him tures, but he need Neo choose what he want to belive, so he give him two pills--red one and blue one. If he choose red one, he will going to dream world and he would find everything will be different, he also can find the answers about himself. In the other hand, blue one will take him to real world and eveything would not be changed and he also can believe evetything what he believed before. When the movie showing here, I feel nervous and also expected what Neo would make he own choise. Facing to me, I also asked this question to myself, which one I should choose? Red one? Or blue one? It is really difficult to make choise. After lone time thinking, I think I will choose bule one. For me, I am not brave and I am not sure if I can face on something if I did not know. I do not want I am trying to be a hero to save this world. This is a luge project to me. I am not a hero and I do not want to be a hero. As I saw, in movie, Neo has some ability and he do many actions to fighting with his enemy. But I am just a human, and I belive the world what I am living, and I also belive I am as same as other people, we are normal and do not have some special ability. I do normal behaviour every day such as I need eat, I need go to school, I need sleep, I need friends. Nothing different with others. I can not thinking about if this world is not a real world, I do not know what should I do, what how can I believe it. If the food we eat, is not a real food, just some imagines in our mind. If except our real world, we have another world, it is so strange. Human would not be human, we are aliving in other project. It sounds terrible. Even though I believe some people have super power, I believe ET and UFO is exist, I can not accept this world is not exist and we are no belief. But I know people want control future and predict what will happened.
After seeing this movie, I am thinking about my own life. I alwasy meet some choise need I choose. When it happened, I often feel difficulf and confused what I should to choose. For example, sometimes, I need choose should I go back to China, or I need stay America, sometimes, I also need choose Which university I should go, What kinds of food I want to eat, does I need go home to play computer, or I need go to play with my friends...I think every person has problem when they need decide something. I always make my decision depend on my first feeling. Sometimes, it is good dicision, but sometimes, it bring me more trouble.
In my opinion, we need belive what we belong to and what world we are exist. We also need to explore better future.

Informal Writing Assignments #1
The exmaine life I took is Philosopher Peter singer's video. At begining of the showing, he metions that "what should you be spending monery on?" That's an interestion question. In this video, he gives us a example of a drowning child without his/her partens. And you have a nice shoes, if we are going to save this drowning child, we will broke this shoes.The philosopher ask us do we will save this child? My answer is: absolutly yes. Even though I will lost my shoes, but I can save one person's life. I thought almost people will agree with me and also do this way, because, facing a person's life exist, we would not care about shoes, we will think them is much important than material. we will care about how we can affect someone's life. However, after this, Peter singer give me another one interesting opinion, if we can save this child, why people do not donate money to them? If we don't buy too many clothes and shoes, and we exchange to money give to poor people, it also save their's life. Why people do not do this way? I was thinking about this point for long time. Sometimes we perfer to give people help when they really need it. But we do not to give them help on our daily life.
As same as the shoes example, there are many examples which I know. Yesterday, I saw a news on my friend's facebook. It said some poor child need clothes and stationery, these people need our help and want our to donate them. I feel so sad for these kinds of news. We always help people who near ourself, but do not too much take care of farer people. One reason that I think is we really do not know what they need, and how much help they want, and we do not really know their real situation such as does they really need clothes, or need other stuffs, or maybe they need food or something else. And even though we give them helps, do they can get it. In china, like some earthquake place, people who in other place give them money, clothes, food and many. But most of the donate stuff were grafted by some local government, and poor people do not really get help from others. It is a bad situation. So some people afriad of to helping people who far away, and they do not want their donate does not give to someone else.
At last part of video, Philosopher Peter singer said ethics does not come from religion, it come from ourself. In my opinion, even though ethics not from religion, it has a little bit relationship with religion, some people's ethices deponds on their own culture, religion, and country. They are decided by their own thinking, and make a choise to thinking about do they need help poor people, how can they help poor people. After I saw this video, I feel encouraged, I think I will make change in my life. It like I will save more money to use them to help people who really need it.

Implicit Association Test
Tonight I took the " Fat and Thin" and "Gender" part in the Implicit Association Test. My result of "Fat and Thin", it shows "Slight automatic preference for Thin People compared to Fat People." The first test I took made me feel so nervous, because I was worried about does the test will record the point, and after the test, I know that just for examine personal charater, just for my own opinion. The test sorce really surprised me, I was think about my real thinking is I was strong like thin people perfer fat people. Because in this society, almost people would like to lost weight and make them more thinner. And for some reason, thin people looks more healthy and beatiful. Woman always want to eat less and lost their weight in order to make them looks good and attracted. And the test shows my real heart thinking, definely. People always thinking theirself own opinion is not same as the real thinking of themself. But they only do not know it.
My second test is " Gender" part, it examine me about how strong relationship between man with science, and woman with liberal arts. At the end of test, it shows me my result is " Men and science, liberal arts women and moderate contact". I feel agree with this result. In many yeas ago, I feel men should to study science, and women should to learn liberal arts. Men study science ability is much better than women do. They have better understanding and hands-on ability. In my steretotype, I strong think women match with liberal, and most of men should to study science. However, rencetly years, my mind is changed, especially after I went to America. In china, most nurse and teacher are women, most police and technician are men to do. It is an interesting phenomemon, if a man to apply nurse job, it looks strange. It is a little bit difference between U.S.A. and China, in Amercia, a lot of men do teaching works, and some women also do police work. And in here, some people have many skills and study double major in college.
In this society, we have too much steretotype to thinking about something or someone, it depens on your own studying, gender, which book you read, which type people you met, or country, age... Everyone has own thinking of this world. We are effected by many factors. Even though we have some regular thinking about this world, we still need more flexible to treat it.

Scavenger Hunt
In my opinion, "Scavenger Hunt" is an interesting game to me. Because I never play this kind of game before.However, at the beginning of class, I thought it might be a boring game, and I want stay at classroom, the weather at that time is so cold, I don't want to be group with some person which I did not know before. When the game was star, we are so exciting. My group member are friendly to me. We went many place to find the stuff that the paper mention. Some of them are really difficult to find. At the end, we finished the work and went back to classroom. Even though the outside is cold, we still have much fun with this game! (Question 1)
If I have a change to do "Scavenger Hunt" again, I think I find easier way to finsh these work. I do not need speed a lot of time to go outside to find items. I only need go to computer lab and open a website, I can find everything I want in the internet. And maybe I will give more idea to my group, because I was shy to the person who I first time to meet. (Question 2)
Our group strategy for hunt is go to every palce to find the items such as parking lot, bookstore,or library. But it speed too much time for us. I thought we only have 30 minutes to do the work. And it really difficult to find each items at real palce. For example, the bookstore does not sell cock. The strategy works, but we do not have enough time. After that, we changed our strategy, we went to library, and find website to search each items. It is faster way to finish work. I asked my group:" Can we find them on interent, is that ok for this class?" My classmate said:" yes, of coure, why not, it is creative mindz class." We finsh the work finally and speed less time. (Question 3)
During the hunt game, we met some problems such as in the parking lot, becasue it already at night time, no many cars in the parking places; in bookstore, they do not sell cokes; some items cannot be find at campus. We were think about many ideas to sovle them. (Question 4)
Facing such problems, we were going to library and saw a lot of classmates in there. The were using computer to find items. We got same idea, and we went to webesite and find everything. For exmaples: we don't have enough time to go to by jamba juice, and we can unable to find musuum at that time. But we got them on the website. And at library, we didn't find any one is falling asleep on the desk, so one of our group memeber to act the sleeping person. When we do this, it is so funny. (Question 5)
For my experience, the Scavenger Hunt games is special to me. This is my first time to play this game. I did not know this game before. And I feel unite in my group. When we dicuss where we should go, what we can do, it shows communion and thinking. we met each other and finsh this work well. I can open mindz to thinking the ideas, and give them my experience. This game shows indiviuals personal thinking, but also shows work together in this society. Because of this game, I know everything can br find on interent. (Question 6)
