 We learned how the media report about the election, particularly about the candidate. The important information, which we need to decide who is competent to be elected is about the content of the policy or achievement of the candidate. Media report these things too, but they report more information that is not related to the election directly. To be honest, we don't need this kind of information to decide the candidate to vote for, but I think sometimes this kind of information can help people who can not decide the candidate easily, both in a good way and a bad way. By the information, interest again the election between citizens can increase, But at the same time, because the information does not relate to the election directly, there is a risk that citizens can not decide the candidate in a proper pivot. If citizens try to know about the candidate voluntarily, but of course they don't. To create the interest against the election of the citizens I think we have no choice bes...

 Since half of us could get one more class from Mr.Paterson today half of us told another half what we learned that day. Because that class which only half of us get was about what I didn't know and since the content was shocking it remained in my mind strongly. I think I remembered the class and I believed that I could tell about the class exactly but it was farther more hard to tell what I learned in my words. After we told half of the class about Steven Donziger and about his surroundings in some small groups, we changed the member of the group and asked how the students who listen could understand our explanation. Also this time I could feel how difficult it is to tell what we learned in our words. I thought it's impossible to tell exactly the same as what we learned because when we tell others, we naturally speak with ourselves feeling, and this feeling is equivalent to bias things. When we tell something perfectly exact I think it's important to talk with bare bias bu...

 Since only half of us attended school Mr.Paterson's class progressed with 10students. I think we can have a more satisfying class with few people. Today we also had a class about biased things and Israel and Palestine. We watched some shocking videos which are happening right now in Palestine, on Twitter. A large building was bombed by Israel with attention only one hour before the attack. Hospitals and orphanages were bombed too. I believe in these places there are people who don't have any military connections with Israel so I was  shocking a lot to know the fact that people who are doing nothing are attacked. I didn't know that those things were happening now and I think this is not only because I didn't have attention to these problems but the media informing is influencing too. Watching and knowing the present circumstance was shocking but I also wondered the videos which I watched in this class are the truth. Since Mr.Paterson showed us they are believable videos...

 The class started with Mr.Paterson saying only Saitama people can go into the class. I didn't know what was happening at that time. Next, was people who showed an ID card. I had my ID card in my locker so I couldn't get into the class. Finally, all of us could get into the room but we couldn't sit down or we couldn't use chairs and desks. Only Saitama people were able to sit and use desks. Mr.Paterson told us this is what is happening in Israel and Palestine now. Experiencing how Palestinian people are treated by Israeli people I think I could understand that it is not usual in Israel now, but I couldn't understand what Israeli people want to do by treating Palestinian people this way. Also before this class, I learned a lot about how media is controlling information to tell information good for themselves but I thought if we try to do we can see what is happening in reality in perspective with no bias.  After listening to these talks half of the class listened how...

 We learned about how a county use media to control the people and how the media implant bias in the people. BBC news used terms that support Israel and for Palestine, they used words in bad images. I was surprised after watching this news from a critical perspective. In usual situation we do not try to watch news in this way because almost all of us think that TV news is telling the "truth" and actually they are telling the "truth" but, I could recognize that the way they are informing is not perfect all the time. This time, the news was about "Israel's attack on Palestine." and since the UK support Israel, BBC informed this showing how Palestine attacked Israel before with the word "retaliatory attack" of Israel. BBC informed truth news but actually, before the Palestine attack there were illegal and unfair trouble by Israel in Palestine and the attack by Palestine was a "retaliatory attack" on Israel. It means that BBC or the UK ...

 We learned kinds of pictures to make the introduction look better.  There were some points which are necessary. First was the focus. The picture's focus has to be on me so that everyone can know who is the writer. Also, we should take pictures in a suitable place. I this case, a suitable place means place which relates a lot to the writer. I think I should use pictures in which I am playing baseball. The picture should be straight too. I want to use pictures which I am playing baseball but I think this picture has some problems, like the focus so I think I should use another one, or use both of them.

 I had my presentation about my book review. Overall I had positive evaluation to my book, so I tried to explain this book from positive perspective. Today I will reflect my presentation watching video.  Firstly I could protect the time limit but, I think my time allocation was not so good. Because this book's settings are complicated and because this story's storyline is complicated too I think I took too much time with the story's summary. This presentation's purpose was to state my own critique but because I took too much time with the summary I couldn't state my critique which is positive ones fully.  Secondly, I repeated the same word or the same information a lot. Repeating is a good way to tell important and core ideas but I repeated information which is not so important information so it just made my presentation's substances thin.   Thirdly I only moved (physically) to the slide's other side once. I think moving too much is not a good thing but also...
