Blog Entry 11: The Response to "The Dangers of Reality TV"
I am done yet, because I want to rewrite the whole esaay after I read the assignment again. I did not remember it said
Blog Entry 10: The claim and resons for "The Matrix"
Claim : If I have a chance likes Neo choose to the red pill or blue pill in the movie "The Matrix", I would like to choose the red one, because I want to know what is the truth.
Reason: I would like to take the red one, because I want to see the reality even though maybe I will get hurt or cannot accept it. It is better than living under an illusion forever. And also, even though I could not come back the pervious world if I took the red pill, I would not regret what I chose.
Evidence: For example, I was disapointed with my friend, because she lied to me. Even though she said that she just wanted to protect me from the sadness which was caused by the truth, I still wanted to know what was going on in the truth. I prefered to jump into the rabbit hall like Alice in the "Alice Wonderland" to see how deep the hall is rather than hiding to live in a lie.

Delay homework:BLOG ENTRY 6: The Response to "The Allegory of the Cave"
In the human beings nature, we cannot ensure that everything we heard, saw or believed in the past is true and good. But whether it is true or false, the truth only will been proved and seen in the future with an effort by using the world of knowledge. This is what I learn from the Scorates' claim in the "Allegory of the Cave" republiced by Plato.
In the "Allegory of the Cave", Scorates describe a story of a group of prisoners who have been kept in chains and forced to live in a underground den since their childhood. The group of prisoners never come out of the cave during their life time. They do not know the reality of the outside of the world. The only thing they believe that it is true is what they see on the wall in front of them everyday. After one of them is released from the den, he goes out and first time to see the real world. He finds out what he saw and believed before is false. Moreover, he returns to the cave and tries to explained the truth to his friends, but nobpdy understand what he says and even recognize his sound. Scorates tried to use this story to make us enlighten the view of the prisoners. Comparing to the experience of the prisoners, I have a special experience which is similar to it.
There was a previous time that I believed that if I was not a virgin girl, I could not have a husband who will love me very much in my life. It is a special experience which makes me mature and discover a truth that not anything that our parents tell us is true.
In China, most old Chinese people think that women must be virgin before their marriage. And also, Chinese men like to marry with the virgin women. My parents are one of them who still have this kind of out of fashion thought. When I was a teenager, my parents often warn me that I must be virgin before my marriage. They did not allow me to have a relationship with men, because they scared me that I would not have a happy marriage if I slept with a man before my marriage age. And also, because of their everyday warning I really believed what they said was real. However, until one day I did a opposite thing which is not my parents' expectation. My life and my thought is changed. We never know what will happen or what will not happen in future. And also, I did not know that I would disobey my parents' rule. I fell in love with a man and slept with him. Sometimes is hard to stop doing something when the love is coming. The love blinded my heart so that I disobeyed the rule. At that time, I really scared the nightmare would be true one day as what my parents told me. Until I met my fiance, I knew what my parents told me was wrong. I also found out what I believed before was an illusion. My fiance told me that he did not care about if I was virgin or not. He really cares about it is my personality and me.
Conclusion, if I did not expericed this matter, I would never know the truth. Sometimes what we saw, heard or believed maybe not real. Like me and even the prisoner in "The Allegory of the Cave", we both experienced similar matters and just looked at the appearance of the objects, and then we believed that they were true. Both of us did not tried to dig the reality out. It also states that Scorates' claim is right The truth only will been proved and seen in the future with an effort by using the world of knowledge.

The Blog Entry 9: Telecommute Report-out
After I did the discussion about the movie "The Matrix" in the telecommunication, I knowed more what the movie talking about and learned more information. The questions in the telecommunication widen my imagination to the movie. And also, the opinions of the classmates which they gave in the answers of the questions provied me more reference to the movie.
In the discussion of the "The Matrix", I can give any opinion about the movie. From my opinion, it includes that waht I understand from the movie and what I think about the movie. It is helpful for me to write a reponse to the movie, because it makes me to consider every details from the movie, and then comes out many ideas about "The Matrix". I also can use one of these ideas to be my claim to write into my response paper.
Following the steps of the movie, I really will have similar feeling as Neo. In the movie, Neo decides to seach what the matrix is and consider what the real world is, but it is a long way to find the truth and prove it. It also makes me think about what the reality is in the world and consider that something that I believe before whether true or not. After he see the real world, he cannot accept the truth immediately. No one can accept the truth easily if we have the same experience as Neo. It is hard to believe that the world we are living in fact is not real. However, who knows the world that Mophius said is real or not. I think that no matter what Mophius said or Neo thought, the truth is what we really believe and which ways we decide to go in our life. Like choosing the red pill or blue pill, taking red pill we will see what the reality is or taking the opposite one we will return to the prior world. But whatever we choose, we should not regret what we do, because we already choose what we believe.
The problem is Mophius said that nowadays the human beings were in the chain of the Matrix, and they did not have freedom, but did he also have freedom? I think that Mophius is a salvor of his mind which he consider that saving a world is his duty in his whole life. He prefers to give up his entire life to look for a unkown future rather than have a relax life. He is a fanatic on saving the world.
