Summary:
In this lecture “Media Violence”, the writer said that there are many media violence in the television, video games, movies, music, toys and other media nowadays. These things caused many children become criminal’s dossiers. They learned how to crime from television and video games. The writer also mention that more than 70 percent of American teenage have played the violent game such as The Grand Theft Auto which game is taking about Mafia became a very successful game in the world. The writer said that these violence game is for adult, but teenage can easily get these game in the game store. Therefore, government should deal with every game store and control the selling of the violence game. The writer also mentioned that the reason why many shooting events in the school is many students watching and playing violent movies and games. When teenage get some problem that they can't solve it or some people bully them, they will do same things just like the some character in the violent movies or games using the violence to solve the problems. In conclusion, the writer believed that parents should control their children don’t watch, listen and play any media linking to violence.
Critical:
In this lecture, the writer mentioned that there many teenage crimes were caused by Media Violence, but people don’t know how to solve this problem. Moreover, Media Violence in America is also a big issue because more then 70 percent teenage prefer to play violent game. In this article, the writer also said that more and more criminal’s dossiers in America. In my opinion, people should control the selling of the violent movies, music and games, and these game companies must be separated these games which game is for teenage and which game is for adults.

Culture Shock

Last Friday, we watched a interesting lecture in class. The lecture is about “Culture Shock”. At beginning of the lecture, the professor explained that, “What is the Culture Shock?” moreover, she also used some examples to help her students to understand that “when” and “why” people get culture shock. She pointed out the differences between Asia culture and American culture. She said the Chinese and Korean culture the family is very important, and American culture is more independence. Moreover, she mentioned that the language, food and different society cause people who come form other country live in different culture will easily get culture shock. Therefore, sometimes, people will get sick because culture shock. In this lecture, the professor also stated how people to cure the culture shock. In my opinion, for me studying in Canada is better than studying in other English country. The reason is that Canada is multicultural, so when person arrived here, they couldn’t get too mach culture shock.

Critique of WALMART


The lecture is talking about WALMART, which company become very successful international business in the world nowadays. At the beginning of this lecture, the director gives us some information and background about WALMART. These information and background will help us to know that, “what kind of welfare does WALMART worker have? And some family business was influenced by WALMART in the past 20 years.” In the first part of this lecture, the CEO of WALMART Company mentioned that the worker is very important for WALMART Company, and he also said that WALMART had very good benefits for their workers. In fact, there are many problems between employees and employers in the WALMART Company. According to several WALMART workers said that WALMART didn’t have a good benefits system for them, such as health care, children care, medical insurance and vocation, so they need government to help them. In my opinion, this lecture shows us a big issue that WALMART workers are working in the bad situation. Even though WALMART is a successful international business, the workers couldn’t get wonderful benefits. After I watched this lecture, I agree with some people’s opinion from this lecture. I think that WALMART should improve management and administration, and give an excellent welfare for their workers.
