October 28!

What a day, what a week, what a weather.
The temperature in Tokyo fell suddenly down , which made me so sad, since I am susceptible to Mr. Weathers mood.
When it is sunny, I am happy.
When it's raining, I am sad. Ce la vie, that's live, some french people would say.
But you shouldn't say it to often. When you get a bad mark in a test, dont say ce la vie, because its not the life punishing you, but your lazyness. If you loose a football game, dont say ce la vie, because you could have trained better, or play better as a team to win. If you have no rights to make money, therefore have no money, can you say ce la vie? If your child has to work for 3 cent per hour for the sake of the family, because you are not able to work, can you say ce la vie? If your only source of life, agriculture etc, is getting ruined by patents, can you say ce la vie, that's life?
...No you can't! Because it's your life! And life is priceless. And if your life is falsly getting sold, stand up and fight for the right to say, ce ma vie!
Time is Money, Money is might! Our brain is getting invaded by viruses in the shape of money. Even tough, some clever scientists would say, that one of the human senses contents the feeling of pity. But pity isn't a persistent love story, but just a momentary One-Night-Stand. Coorperations have love stories,really, they love money, more than anything. And they don't cheat, they are loyal lovers to their money.

Today we saw the last 20 minutes of the documetary movie ' The Corporation'.
It was informative, and showed us students another face of money, culture, society; which contradicts to the face the Media, like television etc. is showing to us every day.
The second part of todays class consisted of introducing everyones essaytopics, they want to write.
I will concentrade on corperations like IG Farben, who played a big bad role in the 2nd World War. But I am still considering about my topic.


See you next week

Do you want to live with or without the knowledge?
Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't like to hear it, but I am I, therefore i know.
Memories of our childhood... friends, sweets, christmas... We are infected by corporations advertisment, and under the ruling mercenary corporations hand, which is controlling our minds.

Coca cola, a sweet tasting liquified sugar dring, is controlling us on from young ages... even right know I see a comercial from Coca cola in the japanese TV, comparing coca cola with a model familie, talking about dream, love and happiness.
But how much love and happiness contents coca cola?? If you would measure it by pieces of sugar, then you could say, that a can of cola contains 13 happiness cubes, and funny coffein friends.
Children getting taught about the merits of coca cola, its fun to drink it, every one drinks it, even santa claus, the man who brings us all those nice presents, who wears, of course because he likes coca cola, the colours of the company: red and white. Children like it, children grow up, parents like it.
But Coca cola is not the only one. There is Mr. Shell, Mr.GM or Mr Microsoft.
Yes, there are all legal persons, like you and me. They are all members of the corporation family, living in the west side of monopoly town.
There aren't companys anymore, no, there are owned by shareholders, who are holding the power, and the right of cruelness to everyone and everything except theire wallet,
As long as there wallets are well-nourished the whole world can die of starvation.
walletobsety, brain and feeling starvation is another phenomena of corporations.
Corporations are not only ruling the west side of monopoly world, no , but also free trading zones. Ruling with Carrot and stick, how nostalgic. Getting some slaves, and make them happy with carrots, after they are full of carrots, go to the next free trade zone, and fill empty stomachs with carrots, huii.

In short; in todays class we saw the first part of the documentary, the corporations, which tried to show the viewer how corrupt corporations can be, in the name of Money.
Polluted Environment, factory farming, virus infected milk...as long as the money is right, the smile is bright. Another can care about problems, which have been made, as long as MR corporation can smile. You would call this externality.

There are a lot of things to add about todays class, but caused by the shock of viewing the documantery, i cannot write in a clear mind.

Later

The first lesson in the second semester!

On the 30th of septemper, the first class of Mr. Paterson Writing course in the 2nd Semester was held in the new Building of the Dokkyo University, in the E-Building.
Honestly, the new building is not bad, but i preferred the older buildings, because they had this flair of learning. The university atmosphere, you would imagine.
The new building has an atmosphere, which is close to the one of a hospital. Especially the stairs aren't as good designed as they should be, since it is very irritating, and at every floor you need to make one more time the important decision: left, or right...

The course itself was good. We have the chance to improve our essays from the first semester, by correcting and revising faults, marked by Rab, who checked all of our essays. Rab also gave us the chance, to discuss about 5 minutes with Rab individually about unclearness of parts, that got marked.
I hope everyone can improve theyr essays, so that we can look forward for the next, the second essays of the 2nd semester which content will concentrate on a documentation we are going to watch in the next and overnext class.
