- whales are whales, but dolphins are whales too -
Journalism is interesting.
Architecture is interesting too.
but it takes some skills to harmonize them with each other. what i'm trying to say is... architecture classes, especially the drawing and planning ones, take time and effort. journalism too, takes time and effort, when it comes to researching and compiling the research materials. well i'm sure i'm not the only one having trouble coping with schedules and deadlines (i'm lazy. and i know some of you out there are watching dramas while munching potato chips)...
right, about journalism.. some "fun" stuff we did or are/will be doing during class:
1. watched the movie Yasukuni
part of it. i heard that it's actually been showed in certain cinemas. this is where you see racial/cultural (national?) disputes. depressing, indeed. i know we have lots of these back home too, but i've never seen one with my own eyes (and i hope i won't be involved in any). Japanese criticising Japanese. Japanese condemning Americans. Taiwanese denouncing Japanese.. we live in this world, seemingly friendly towards each other, sometimes hostile, but deep within we hold dark feelings towards certain individuals/organisations. and we let these feelings out only during specific occasions such as this, when we have enough power and "back-up" to knock these people down. after all, we are being ruled by conformity.
... maybe that's why i don't like "group work". ijime is a kind of group work too (so i don't blame Koda Kumi for what she said). so is gangbang associated to group work.
2. wrote an essay (?) about Japanese whaling
yeah, another heavy topic. but we had the opportunity to visit 2 organisations - we interviewed an officer from the Japan Fisheries Agency (the pro-whaling side) and a representative from Greenpeace Japan (the anti-whaling side). i don't feel like repeating what i've written on the report so i'll stop here...
2008/6/22 update: by the way some of the Greenpeace activists were arrested just a few days ago, ahahahaha.. ahem.
3. we're gonna interview the anti-war activists too.
4. (this is actually a reminder for myself) researching on suicide websites for my final report. if anyone has ever visited one, do share your thoughts with me =p
now if you'd excuse me, i have plot plans to complete..
