Morality and Law

There is morality that tell the people what we do is good and what we do is bad so we can live in a harmony world. There is Law and rule that prevent us and guide us what is illegal and bad so we can always remind us not doing wrong. This all thing failed to teach or guide the people to not doing something wrong and bad. Why this thing happen?

This is all because of the human greed and the human greed is because of the mentality problem. Human greed is very hard to control and remove from human attitude because human never feel suffice on what they have. Sometime people know something is bad to do but they still do for bad because they feel they are no choice but have to do it, and some people when they doing some bad thing they don't think that their action is wrong, and some of the people do the bad thing on purpose. For example, human emotion is mostly hard to control and sometime it will make you do something wrong because of your emotion, self-center mind also make you do something wrong when you feel somebody is oppose you, fight for money and power is always come from the human greed and cause them to do the wrong thing to fulfill their greed. This is why the morality and law is failed to keep the world in harmony and peace.

For my opinion the main reason of all this thing happen is because of the human mentality that effect by all the greed, emotion, honor, and power. When we born in this world we already influence by all the temptation in the world. We should enhance our mentality so we can control our attitude and mind so we can prevent to do something wrong. But mentality is hard to enhance or develop because they is no book that can teach people how to enhance their mentality because mentality only can be enhance by human cognitive. This is why the war and crime is never end. This is why we should always think before we do or say something.

Advance of technology is good or bad?

We are now living in information era that we use a lot of information device either a smart phone or computer. This is already become our daily life usage to stay connect to each other either the latest news of world or with your family and friend. But there are some of us are against to the advance technology that we are using in our daily life. Why they are against to the advance technology? Who make them against to the technology? Should we blame to the people who make all this technology for us?

 


The advance technology have totally change our life either in social or lifestyle. We can see nowadays people prefer using their device to communicate with each other and less communicate in face-to-face. This is not good by using the device to communicate because people will never really know what you are thinking and what you want to express. Human communicate with each other not only by word but also can through their face expression and body language, this make other more understanding what you are thinking.But why people still prefer more to use device to communicate. For my opinion, i think this is because when we communicate with each other face-to-face we need to care about other people feel but when they say something that make you angry but you still will act like not angry to care other people but human face expression is very hard to control because what you feel is always shown through your face expression. That why people prefer to use device to communicate because they will never know you very hate to that guys. We also can see when people having their food at any place, they rather take the food photo than enjoy their meal. This is very bad attitude while having food because you are not respect to the cooker because they want you to enjoy the meal but not enjoy by taking photo. Taking photo is actually a good action as a memories to what you have seen and you want to keep it so you can rewind what you have seen in past. The sad case is people take photo is use to show off to their friend. Nowadays most of the parent will buy or borrow kids a tablet or smartphone for them to play. This action should be avoid because kids is still young to use the device and they don't know the purpose of using this device. Most of the parent give their kids this device is let them play game and some teenager will use it on wrong purpose. Not only the kids will use the devices wrongly but the kids will also lack of outdoor activity because they more prefer to play the devices than playing at outside with other kids. This will cause an unhealthy habit and will cause unhealthy growth to your kids because they lack of exercise and communicate with other.

The advance of technology have given us a lot of advantage but also disadvantage. For my opinion, we should never blame to the device because the device will never teach you to do something wrong. The main cause of all the problem is all from the society, education, and parent problem. Device will never force someone to do something wrong or cause any trouble when we are using it correctly and its give us a lot of help other in getting information or socialize. But humans always force the device to do something wrong and make the people blaming on it, this attitude should be avoid because this is what a human been. Human will always blaming to each other but never really think about what the root of causes.

What 'Game' Mean?

i have play many type of game in my life but never really know the meaning of 'game'. For me, the meaning of game is as simple as is a thing that give us to play and have fun on it. After i done some research on the definition of game for my class work i found that there is different type of definition about the game.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein was probably the first academic philosopher to address the definition of the word game. He define the game have some element such as play, rules, and competition. But he also say that all this definition fail to define what a game are because he also don't know how to define what is game. Why Ludwig Wittgenstein refuse his own definition about the game. Let give an example, a young boy is playing a ball alone by throwing it to the wall and catch it. Some people say that kid is playing a game but from the game there is no any rules and competition on it but people still take it as a game. This is why Ludwig Wittgenstein say he could not define what game mean because there is no fixed answer on it because every people have different view on a word. For example, when people tell you a word 'fire' what have you think in your mind when you heard it. Some people will say a burning torch, some say a house was burning, some say a flame, some people say you get fired by your boss. This show that a word can come with different opinion on it from different people thats why Ludwig Wittgenstein cant define what is game.

Roger Caillois

Roger Caillois is a french sociologist, in his book "Les juex et les hommes" defined a game as an activity that must have the following characteristic such as fun, separate, uncertain, non-productive, governed by rules, and fictitious. What he mean about separate is when a people is focusing while playing a game he will totally forget about the time and place. For example, when i was playing my favorite game i will totally forgot to eat my food and i will play the game from morning until night without feeling hungry. A game is uncertain because you never know what you will get from a game either lose or win. I was disagree with the word non-productive because this is not true. For example, people learn how to work together as a team to win the game such as sport game, and we also can learn some knowledge through the video games such as serious game that give people awareness on aids. 


Jane Mcgonigal

Jane Mcgonigal is an American game designer and author who advocates the use of mobile and digital technology to channel positive attitudes and collaboration in a real world context. She define game when we strip away the genre differences and technological complexities, all games share four defining traits such as goal, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participants. We can see three of them also state rule in their definition because every game have rule that limited what you can and can't do in the game. A game also have a goal that tell you what you need to do or done in a game. A game without a goal is call as toy said by Chris Crawford. Feedback system is a system that attract the player to play the game. for example, score, achievement, honor, item, trophy, stage process, story and others. When you playing a game, you are voluntary to join it not by force so you have to follow the rule and goal in a game if you don't you can choose not to play the games.

the definition for game have no fixed answer on it because different people have different opinion on it and it does not have wrong or right.

The way to get start on art

what the purpose we learning for art? for my answer is just simple as i like to draw and i wan't to learn how to draw good art. after i join my first class for foundation in art my lecturer told me the interesting purpose about why we need to learn art. My lecturer told me that the purpose we learn art is for "visualize" something we are thinking in our mind. If we does't not have any basic skill or knowledge about art and we will not able to visualize what our mind thinking and what we wan't to express to people what we are thinking. Either you are using writing or body language you still not able to fully express the image that your mind thinking about, that why we need the skill and knowledge of art to express and visualize the image or object that we wan't to share with other.
The first lesson i learn in the class in what is the basic to start leaning on drawing. The answer my lecture give is we need to start learning by drawing a straight line for until we feel confidence to draw it by free hand without using ruler. The answer giving make me feel disappointed because what we learn is drawing a straight line for our first lesson. But after that i totally change my mind about that after the lecturer tell us the reasons to start learning from drawing a line because everything we learn is always come with the basic and drawing a straight line by free hand is the basic way to start learning for art. Never underestimate what a line can do on art because when we can form an art work by combine a lot of line either the line is straight or curve and the line also can be draw in different angle.For example after we learn to draw the straight line we can start drawing some shape like rectangle, cube, triangle or a polygon. When combine all this shape we can form a volume and than the volume will form an object. This all process one-by-one is how to draw a completed drawing for your art and it was very important for people who started to learn drawing.
