How does ethnocentricity cause conflict?

In year 1788, the British arrived to Australia to colonize and they settled the place where nowadays we call as Sydney. The British were surprised at what they were looking because the First Australians were different from them. The First Australians had different skin color. Their culture, law and their believe system was all different. Therefore, the British wanted to connect with them to gain the relationship. Hence, they sent their leader Benelong to change him like as British. Eventually, their plan was unsuccessful and they described Benelong as unchangeable animal and this lead the British and Australians to ethnocentric. Although their relationships looked close and well built, from the British point a view they described First Australians as savage, wild, uneducated and uncivilized, these thoughts lead them to think that the First Australians were not human. Thus, as the British law they could take over the lands because natives were not human, which means there were no owners and therefore they had rights to colonize and to take over the land. Yet, The First Australians couldn't escape as their law was pay back. Then at the end they had a war and the natives lost. Therefore, after the war the natives didn't have a rights and to speak.

Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment

Artemidorus: Caesar, beware of brutus; take heed of cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrong'd Caius Ligarius. "There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, Artemidorus.

Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a sitter will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.

Context: Artemidorus is writing a letter for Caesar about in ides of march and beware of conspiracy

Artemidorus is saying that Caesar beware of brutus, Casca, Cinna, Trebonius, Metellus Cimber, Decius, Caius Ligarius and cassius. They might kill you in ides of march. However Their is irony that is Caesar going to believe it or not. Therefore, Artemidorus is saying that "If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.

I chose this passage because to show that also someone in the Rome who is on Caesar's side so that he wants to save Caesar.

My learning profile

I am a logic thinker with an "A" profile. I was suprised by the sheet because it was written as I learned best when I focus on the details and I have an ability to follow step-by-step visual and auditory instructions. When I first read this learning profile sheet I didn't never noticed and I thought I was very bad at those things. However, now when I think about my past experiences actually some were correct and it was just for me. For example, the language is very imprtant for learning but, I have to work more harder to improve myself.

I think my weakest part is doing work by step by step, I always prefer to do work step by step and to rememmber to do it, but I always keep forget it. Personally I think that is the reason why I keep loosing my points in test or in projects. also I am using only left brain because I use my right side of hand, leg and eye. Therefore, I would have some difficulties for connecting emotional informations. In this case, I have to particepate in class with possitive and enjoyable motion experiences will help me.

The strategy to help me with my learning would be to always think myself and remmber to work step by step so that I do not ever make any mistakes. Also try to use more my right side of brain so that I can hear and see more efficiently.

The teachers may want to know about me that I really like to sit in front!!! It helps me to particepate in class so that I don't talk with my friends so that I do not miss any keypoints and also to sit infront may help me because I will ask more questions and answer more qustions so that I understand better and focus more.

Learning profile

1. I learn best when I listen instructions from teachers so that I follow correctly though the step.

2. I need to learn best by focusing on the details. Processes by analysis, verbalization, writhing and concentrating.

How does art mirror society?

I choose a paint tittled as "Vitruvian man" by da Vinci in 1487. Sometime people discried him as archetype of Renaissance man, a man who had billian of qestions and curiosity because of his questions and curiosity made a lot of inventions and made the Renaissance knowledgeble. Also he was one of the best artists of all period and perhaps the most intellegent person in the world. Thus "Vitruvian man" is one of his invention and paint. The painting, which is in pen and ink on paper, shows one male has two positions with his arms and legs apart simultaneously used in a circle and square. The drawing is based on the size of our human body with well discribed in geometry. This painting depicts that the church is loosing their power and got freedom from the church because in middle ages people couldn't came up with their own ideas because of the power of church and the Bibles, then people were keep inquiring to the church about science and knowledge, then the church couldn't answer it. Therefore people started not to believe in faith and had freedom. Thus da Vinci seems to came up with his own ideas and came up with new knowledge of human body in Renaissance time, so that depicts in the people of Renaissance time could made their own ideas and got freedom from the church.

Driving Forces of the Renaissance

"Which one driving force do you think was the most crucial in creating the Renaissance's explosion of ideas? Why?

Renaissance is a period from 14th centry to 16th centry and the city state of Florence first began. It was also very important period of driving force and discovering acient knowledge. For example, there were banking & trading, riverty, art, education and acient knowlege. Among those examples, Banking & trading were the most crucial in creating the Renaissance's explosion of ideas and driving force. This is because, people could travel over the contries and continents for trade some better metrials and goods. They also observed other country's ideas and used those source to make their countries better and improved knowledge. Therefore, I thought banking & trading were the most important driving force and exposions of ideas.

object writing

"Please get me out of here! In the dark place!!" Itouch (Iphone) is the most popular music player in these days. I can listen to music whenever I want to. Also, I can put some videoes and games in it! It used to be my favorite technology toy and I always put in my pocket wherever I went. However, these days I don't put it in my pocket anymore, I put it on my desk. This is because it is really annoying to download the music, games and videos. Another reason is that I heard that it is harmful to our health. For example, it is bad for our ears and it distracts us from focusing on our work. Therefore, I am trying to stop listening to music.So, I hid in the desk, eventhough I hid the ipod myself, I forgot where I put it. However there is an advantages of having an Ipod. For example. if I am angry or sad, I can calm down easily when I listen to the music. So, if I am angry or sad I guess I have to search high and low to look for my Ipod.
