"oh, great sprit, keep me from ever judging a man until I've walked in his moccasins"


"oh, great spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I've walked in his moccasins"


It is quite easy Judging someone when their behavior was wrong or seems like wrong. Just say a word or a sentence like "you can't do like that. You are doing wrong.".


But it is quite hard judging someone when you know someones' situation support her/his wrong behavior. Everyone knows the novel "Les miserable" in which the main role stole bread to fill his hunger. Who can blame him without pity? People would feel sorry for him at least , if they are human beings.


In addition, people never unerstand exactly how the others feel and think. Even though we use same language, because every single people has different values, different goals, different backgrounds, different cultures, it is hard to understnad.
It is not easy to consider things at other peoples' positions. But this is right way to respect the others and to be respected from the others.

Research project..

The most important thing at this point,,,, is,,,,, this is not finish yet!!!
(presentation is left!)

Anyhow.. I handed in the paper with well-made cover, and I can forget about the articles and books about my topic, "consumer decision making". ITs good. perfect!!


Until last friday, i told everybody that i know.. this project is killing me..

Once, level 7 classmates asked me, "hey, level 8 isn't that difficult, eh?" I talked back, "There is a project which is called 'research project', and that is killing me, and will kill you as well." ( He was a bit arrogant, and insolent).

Once, I met my ex-teacher by chance and he told me "oh, you will have research in level 8" and I said " I'm doing it now!" and he told me " Good luch, jung~!" And I really agree with him. ^^;;


------------------------------------------so far, my general feeling -----------

However, of course, I have learnt a lot from this project.

I learned specific way of doing this kind of paper which will be so useful in the workplace as well. For example, looking for certain books and articles and making reference list are one of the good things to know.

And I will probably do the same way except making the reference list. I forgot write some of the references when I write the paper, so... the results was..... it took bunch of time to recover it, and I ended up took away the part that I couldn't find the references.

Lecture project-




haha.




I went to 3 lectures, and finally, fortunately, I found the lecture that I liked ..^^




Like I presented, it was about the consumption theory which was related to Darwin's theory.




My first impression doing these lectures was.. that western people (except student or collegues) don't go academic lectures as well as korean... It is same all over the world.. because all of the 3 lectures didn't have many people. Even though the last lecture was sort of Concordia's program.




Second impression was .. it's difficult...!!

It was different from my everyday school life- The professors talk fast, some of them had his own accent, used jargons. They never pause during the lectures.




However, i was encouraged by these lectures, because i could understand it, even though not all of it. It was impossible, just until 1 year ago, but it's possible now!!! So, I have kind of encouraged to keep going forward!




So, thank you!^^
