Celluloid Closet Questions

1. After I watch the film, I think Chinese people still can accept the lesbian and guy around them. People in Taiwan still can talk about the topic of homosexual. People in Taiwan are more conservative than other countries. In other country, there may have many movies about homosexual, but in Taiwan, it will be less. But now more and more people can accept the homosexual than before. Now also there are more and more television programs and movie about homosexual in Taiwan. I am glad to seeing that people become more and more liberal to many things especially different sex love. I hope some day people can speak loudly of who they love.

3.I think everyone has their freedom to choose what sex they love. Nowadays, there are much easier to see homosexual on the street. I know people will not feel strange when women shake hands or kiss. It is acceptable for women, but for men?? People will think it is unacceptable when you see two men shake hands on the public place. It is arbitrary. So do me. But now lesbian or gay become brave, they can speak loudly to tell others what sex they love. How bravely! We should be the civilized person. We should accept different kind of sex. Don’t discriminate against any other people. Everyone has their rights of love. Also we can’t judge a person only by sex of love.

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.



We had read the poem “The Road Not Taken" since I was a fresh man.
It is a part of our oral presentation, but not my group.
The teacher taught us how to read poems even it is difficult.
The road means that we have a lot of choices in our life. People can not choose all the roads, they only can choose one.
Before people make decision, people may think for a long time because they want to choose the better one. In the poem, that person chooses the road which is less traveled. People always choose the road and look back the other road. And people always think if they choose the other road, the outcome will be different.
I think if you have a lot of choices in your life, just to do and don’t hesitate.
And also after you make decision, don’t think that you have the chance to restart.

my opinion on Harvey Milk

response questions- about gay

1. In my opinion, I think the family in Taiwan can’t really accept that if their son, daughter and so on is gay. In Taiwan, we still a tradition country. People still have tradition thinking. They feel shame if their family members are gay. I know it is not right. I think if they know their son or daughter, they were against or pretend they don’t know. I think it is our culture. But there are more and more family accepts their gay son or daughter. It stands we can embrace different kind of sex. It is a good phenomenon I think. We should esteem different sex love. I can accept the lesbian much more than before because I contact that person in high school. I know they are the same as us. They are just different form sex. But I think I need more time to adapt gay. I don’t have sexual discrimination, it is just my feeling you know. No matter what sex you love, love doesn’t have standard. You can choose what sex you want to love.

2.2. I think the article is not really right for now. It was in 2004 not now. It may be just for show I think. I think in Taiwan gay still can not married in law. It didn’t get voted on I guess. I think it is just for show so it was just mentioned by mouth and not carry out. It will be believable when it is already enforced in Taiwan. Taiwan is a conservative country so it won’t be carried out. Even there are many people accept that gay to married, there are still some people did not agree. We just can give them the information that sex is equal, love is equal.

answer questions-animals

1. I think there are some people agree with medical testing. I know it maybe is not fair for animals. We use animals to test our research when we have problems. It doesn’t fair. Although we need medical testing for our research, we also should stand the side of animals. Do they agree? It is too cruel. I know we need something to the medical testing. We can find the other way to solve this problem instead of using animals. Animals and human being are all creatures. I think the researcher may find a good way to substitute animals because they are very advanced than before.
In my opinion, I agree with medical testing because if we want the world progress, we need to overcome many problems, such as medical. I know the most people agree medical testing because of the improvement of the future. They want to make life to become much better so we can’t know which side is right. Everyone has their standpoint. We can’t judge them just by arbitrary. If we can think the other way to replace using animals to the medical testing, it is the best thing I think. And I hope the day come true soon.

3.Is an animal testing on cosmetics fair to animals? What a terrible thing!! My God! Just for beauty? Is it really useful on beauty? I don’t think so. I can agree to the medical testing, but animal testing on cosmetics is too over. Health is the most important thing in the world I think. Without health, you have nothing! Beauty is not everything, without beauty, you still possess many things. It mentioned that it maybe has greater risk to human if we don’t use animals to produce cosmetics. But I think it doesn’t matter to stop using cosmetics. I think the modern science and technology can solve this problem because they are more advanced than before.

Class work-Harvey Milk

Milk, a man that I feel he is a fearless man. He can speak up to everyone that he is a gay man and also to elect to a political office in California. Although he declared that he was a gay man, he got the citizens’ support. He didn’t care what people criticize to him. He just did the thing which is right. He can be the prototype to all gay men. He can encourage people that we didn’t care what other people think. Just do the right thing. Gay men have rights. Although he is a gay man, he proved that he also can do anything for people. After seeing the film, I think the citizens give Milk a lot of courage because they didn’t despise him. They prove that any kind of people can do good thing. He fought for gay rights and proved that gay also can be the same as general people. He defeats the opinion on public affairs and gets the identification of people. We should treat people with no partiality. It is the basic of deference for people.

whale wars questions

After I watch the video, why Japanese people want to do so cruel things?
Is it just for fun or food? No matter what reason they have, they shouldn’t do such cruel thing. Japanese do the illegal thing every year and don’t stop doing it. The laughable thing is that they claim they just kill whales for research. Is it believable? I don’t think so!!! Why don’t they be benevolent to other thing? Why they could not be honest to what they do? They can not cheat people what the thing is really illegal. There is no excuse to do such cruel thing. I think the world government can set up the law to forbid any person who is hunting whales.

Animals also have their rights, we can not decide their live. In the video, I think they may have another way to stop them to hunt whales. Maybe they can communicate with each other to think how to solve the problem peacefully. I really hope two sides war will stop some day. But if Japanese won’t stop hunting whales, whales will disappear some day in the future. I don't want to wait for that day comes. I think most people will agree with me!!

animal policy-video

After I watch these videos, I feel it is too cruel and sorry for animals which people do such cruel thing to them. I don’t know why people want to do such thing. Animals are so cute and they also have life as people. They just can’t be the arbitrator for free will. People always think they are the king of the world so they can do anything they want to do. It is not right. I think we can have much more organizations which are about animals to protect animals form danger. The animals’ rights now are more important than before.
In the video, people can help animals by their own hands, I think it is a happy thing to rescue being. We can’t make the decision for animals. Animals are the creature as we people. We are the same. We should have some efficient law for animals, not just for show for fun. Right? the government should think a good and efficient way to solve the problem. It is still a big problem now

animals' law

After I read the article, I think the law which is about animals maybe enforce efficiently, I mean just for some people not all. In Taiwan, the government set up laws in order to protect animals, but I think it is not really efficient.
Maybe the government set up strict, but it does not can enforce efficiently.
I think the government can tell people what the problem it is. They can teach people the right thought. If it is no use, the government can fine people who don’t follow the law. But the penalty must be serious. People will be afraid of the big penalty. I think it may be efficient in Taiwan.
People always don’t care what the feeling animals are. I think we can stand the same side as animals so that we can treat animals much more benevolent.
And the world will be friendly I think!! Fining is the best way to stop people doing cruel thing.






































In my opinion, I think it is no use for some people because the law is not strict enough. It may be useful for some part of restrictions, but not all. For example, people who have dogs or cats

class response question about AnimalsTaiwan

The purpose of this group is that they are a volunteer group dedicated to improving the livelihood and treatment of animals in Taiwan. They aim to find solutions for the problem of pet overpopulation through educational activities, adoption efforts and outreach programs. They rescues sick, injured, and young strays, rehabilitate them, vaccinate them, deseed them, and try to find them permanent, caring homes.
The recent post is about the Silk Palace banquet hall in Taipei from serving shark’s fin. The US-based Humane Society International (HSI) and the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST) have asked Taiwanese authorities to stop serving. The report mentioned that shark’s fin is very cruel because after cutting off shark’s fin, fishermen throw sharks back into the sea to let them bleed to death. Killing sharks for shark’s fin will deplete shark populations and harm marine ecology. It also mentioned that serving shark’s fin at the Silk Palace damages Taiwan’s international image. So we should stop to eat shark’s fin to let the government stop sale shark’s fin to maintain our image in the world.

Response Questions- Plagiarism

1. In my opinion, there has some reasons that why students choose to cheat. Firstm teachers always give them the difficult questions and don't give them help or they don't think maybe it is too difficult to let them to do. When students can't solve questions and also can't find way to solve, they choose to cheat. Second, students don't prepare well for test so that they choose to cheat. But it is the reason that more people can't accept. Wrong is wrong. There is no excuse. Third, students may think it doesn't matter that they cheat on quiz instead of exam. They may think that exams are more important than quizs. Someone may think they can cheat on quizs insted of eaxms.
I had cheated on quiz with my classmates in high school, but we insist that we won't cheat on the exam no matter how difficult it is even we may get zero.
However, it is wrong to cheat on anything I know.

2. In Taiwan, when someone plagiarize and is found, teacher may give them zero and give them a punishment of the school. They also failed the subject, and students should restart to study. If you want to restart the subject, you should pay extra money and time for that subject.
I think these may be a sufficient deterrent for some students. They will follow it honestly, but for other students, it is no use. They didn't afraid of punishing.
I think if the law had ordered, maybe plagiarism may decline or disapear. But it is too strict, maybe we could have another good way to solve this problem. I don't know what the way it is now.

assignment- Do I agree with the punishment in these cases?

Read the following examples of plagiarism and the action that was taken because of it at one American university. Do I agree with the punishment in these cases?http://www.stanford.edu/dept/vpsa/judicialaffairs/students/plagiarism.cases.htm


In American school, students have such strict regulations. If they were found who is plagirizing, they have to be punished. But I don't very agree with it because I think they can give them one more chance. Everyone may make mistake. They can have another punish way instead of such strict way. I know plagorism is wrong.

Question 1

1. There is still a lot of unfair thing about women on the job.
Women were always felt much weaker than men.
Men have much more power to work than women so that the boss maybe pay much more money for men as an under police or hire men instead of women.
The boss always put their benefit at first.
In past time, women were weak and they were only allowed to stay home
to take care of their child and clean the house.
Men always thought that what women can do is
only stay inside so that the custom was decided.
But now it has much more and more attention about women’s rights.
The government set a lot of policies to protect women’s rights.
In Taiwan, we are much more progressed than other country.
But there is still has a lot of reasons to cause unfair between women and men.
For instance, the country of Islam, women have a lot of unfair treatments.
They can’t go to school and they can’t appear without mask.
I think it is too difficult to improve women’s right in the country of Islam so far because it is their culture. Otherwise, the government could pay more attention to promote the intellection of the equality of the sexes.

2. In school, girls always are asked to wear skirt. It is uncomfortable when we wear skirt in a hot day and girl’s behavior should be proper.It is not good to wear skirt when we take activity.Girls always are regarded as much more carful so ifthere has some thing which is about literature, everyone think girls are the bestcandidate to choice. When people are child, they always are taught what they should do or what they shouldn’t do. For instance, girls should play doll and boys should play robot. When boys play doll, they must be laughed so that boys and girls become stereotyping. The sexual stereotyping still circulates.There are many reasons to lead to such state. We should teach our children that they can have many interesting no matter what kinds it is. Or companies can offer the chance of job which like engineers just for women so that it can let much more women to learn different concept of skills. Government also can offer profit for the company which can reach the goal about sexual.

The study of humanities

For me, I think I am not really interesting in the subject.
If I study on that, I must fail it.
It is a kind of research which is not really useful because I think I may not use it to earn money.
It is too complicate for me to understand what people think and feel.
I think it is an easy way to get along with people without any theory.
The study of humanities was studied by many people who really has much more interesting.
I think people who is interesting in the study of humanities has diffrent thinking than me.
I am only a common person because I don't want my life to become difficult.
I know it is just my own opinion, not everyone. I am an easy person, and my brain is also easy.

respond of Second life

Second Life also could be the real life. After I watched the video, I just had known there is a game which could be so different from the others. It is much useful because it can let your dream come true. I feel my life could also be interesting and imaginative. In the game, I can create a life which I want even thought it is not exist in the real world, such as fly. I can do anything I want to do and also I do not need to be afraid of messing up the life. If I mess up, I can just restart the game. If I earn so much money I can change it into U.S dollars. It is not only fun in the game but also let me happy in the real world. But so far I do not want to play this game because it has not had the Chinese version. It is too hard to me to overcome a whole English game so far.
