Journal #19 : Reaction - Baraka

The movie BARAKA shows us natural living in the world. Before I saw this movie I never thought about how this problem was serious and affect to many people. After I saw this movies, I could think about other side's ploblem such as poverty, war, and pollutions.

First, they show us about India's people. As many people know, India people can't kill and eat cow. Therfore, if people die from skip eating, they can't eat cow as their foods. It is weird to me, because I think any person is important that cow. However, in India, it is not.

secondly, we can see many kinds of beauty secen before industrialized. Actually, many process in the world can harm for everybody, but people can't recognize this thing. People only think about convienente life without pollution. It makes me sad.

Finally,I saw in this movie lots of poor labot working in factory. Compare with them and many people who are rich. It is un fair. One side, people suffer from lack of foods, the other side, people spent lots of foods and mone. I can't understand.

As I mentioned above all, we have many serious proplem, but people can't recognize this problem. Before I saw this movie I also never think about these problems. However , After I saw this movie I can concern about these kinds of problems.

Journal # 15:Analyzing Arguments.

E.A. Genter (posted December 5, 2008)

Thesis of this article is that I would like for the CEO or the powers that be to please give a good reason why the Water Company will not give good customer service the same as the phone companies and the Electric Power Board?.

Also, I can find in the article policy of claim, and the argument appealing is pathos (to emotion).
"The phone company and the electric company very willingly changed my due date, but the water company refuses to do so. They also charge a late charge if not paid on time." These sentences are evidencce that author uses to reach his conclusion. Author want to say people about this situation.

Why they do home birth? First of all is the cost. If they do to giving birth at home, they charge from 1000 to 5000 per birth. It is less than the cost of a hospital. Hospital needs much more money. Second thing is strage environment. Mother doesn't want to be watched by strangers while shie is giving birth. Some women feel uncomfortable when she giving birth surrounded by stranger.

Actually, I was shocked when I saw Orange County's transportation system. I don't have a car, so I have to take bus to go wherever I want go. Korea is very good at transportation system. If you don't have a car in Korea, you can't feel uncomportable,because you can go anywhere without car. However, here is horrible. Some bus come to bus station 1 time per one hour. People who don't have a car have to wait lond time for taking bus. Own car is nessesarity to everyperson in Orange county.
Moreover, bus drivers seem like that they are always late. I never seen they come just on time before. My country's buses are very crowded, but here is not. If I take a bus in here, I can sit on the chair during bus driving. It is one thing that here bus's advantage.
