Informal Assignment #5

       In china, like other Asian country, students must wear school uniform during their daytime. For my own experience, in my high school---which is one in my hometown, we have to abide by school rules. We have two kinds of school uniform, one is for summer, and one is for winter. We need wear them all day form Monday until Friday. For the haircut in the school rules has no curly hair, no color hair, and for all boys, they cannot make their hair grow pass under ear; for all girls, they have to wear their hair in ponytail during the daytime.
          One thing that I remembered is in China, when we growing up a teenager, in the school ceremony, almost of every student to be a “red scarf" teenager, which means is they are able to be a good student in their high school, each one get their own "red scarf" from this ceremony. So the teacher asks us to wear "red scarf" every day when we go to high school. I think it is Chinese high school fashion. However, I always am a good and quiet student during that. In my teenager, there has one thing changed me to be more “fashion crime".
         One day, I went to school without wearing "red scarf" because I got up late and go to school in harry, so I totally forgot. Every day in the morning time, there are some teachers stand in front of the school door to check everyone's clothes. They saw I did not wearing my "red scarf" and they were prohibit me enter to school door. I was confused about that and argue with one of teachers, whatever what I said, how I explain why I forgot to wear "red scarf", they still do not let me enter. At end of that situation, I missed my classes and I was go to home finally and absent whole day classes. I was so sad about that day in my memory. I felt so embarrassed for arguing with teacher in front of the school door.
            I was changed my mind after this event. I understand for Chinese high school situation, teachers want everybody to be same such as wear same school uniform, wear "red scarf" for everyone, and they do not want students to compete to compare unrealistically each other and pay much attention to consider what should their wear clothes every day, so we must wear same clothes with other classmates. But, I was disagree with that, when we do like this, wear same clothes, it really restrain everyone’s own thinking and own fashion styles. Everyone like a study machine, and do not know everything without study, everyone study hard only for graduate exam. They lose their own style in life.
            For society class, when student wear school uniform, society knows they are student, and they cannot go to some pub, gaming store. And they want them to be unified. For gender class, wearing uniforms should be vague boys and girls, when they wear same uniform, they actually cannot distinguish everyone clearly. However, wearing uniform has many disadvantages, for example:  most of uniform has bad fashion with bad quality, some of them is very think clad to wear when winter time, student always feel cold to wear school uniform.  And everybody wear same clothes, and they lose their own innovative. From my experience that I mention, I don’t see how wearing "red scarf" is so much more important than me missing all classes? It not a fair balance to account knowledge with clothes.
    Finally, in Chinese country, even though students dislike their school uniform, they still need wear to school every day, and observe rules to be a “good student".

Informal Assignment #4

            Last week in class I looked some video from the website link, at begining of I looked at them, I am a little bit confused about what are they doing, for example, in Leslie Hall video, a fat woman wear skin tight, then she is dancing, singing, and do some funny poses. I can not understand what is she doing, and what information she want to show us? After class discuss, I understand better. Today, I look at these video again, and find some interesting point. In the video, she wear color skin tight, and smile, and singing, looks very happy. When I see this video, I feel happy and make my mind good. After I saw some video in her blog, I think in her reason why she post these kind of video to show us is she want to make everbody happy. She use herslf to recreation everyone. I look at the comment under her blog, most of people said thanks to her because she make them feel funny and relax. Though this, I found in this society, everyone has pressure and do not know where can release stress, maybe this video give them a "door" to get happy. After people see this, just feel this fat woman is strange, and feel why she do like this, then they will feel funny and stressless with this video.
          Next video which I look is Ill Doctrine blog. In his blog, most every video show his personal talking show, he talk about his own opinion about some phenomenon in our society. For example, the first one I looked is called "Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. on Extemism", in this video, he think for some great people also has extremism, with his perspective on the different kinds of extremism, and how sometimes extremism is no less righteous than moderation. And for other one which I look is called "Why I'm Afriad of Christine O'Donnell" creat by Jay Smooth. in this video, he said that he does not want to vote someone who like he, because always in the speech, famous people say he/she like you and will do something for you, but the artist said he does not like this and feel it awared. He think he does not look like a good person and if someone like he, he thinks that strange. I choose two of this video, and after I finsh look them, I feel he has strong personal opinion and he is funny person. Because in his video, I feel understand clear and easy to fo llow his idea. I laugh many time when I am watching his video. I also can learn some Amercia culture and personal idea from his videos. I think from his video, he want to show other people what is his thinking, his idea, and want to get everyone's attract.
             The last one I want to discuss is Kenneth Tin Kin Hung’s blog called" 60X1. com”, I look at one video here called “ In God We Trust”, In this video, just has many interesting power point in here, and no any talking voice here, those pictures are colorful and complex mix together. “In G.O.D. We Trust” remixes the political and economical hardships Barrack Obama has to overcome within various religious contexts.And artist believe their president can overcome and change everything, and he as a leader to this country become better. In this video, I learn some America political, and know what is the artist’s idea.
     Though these blog, I saw many artist’s opinion here, and know why they post these video to blog and what they want to show.
