How does ethnocentricity cause conflict?

When the British arrived to a place called ‘Walang’ which is now called as Sydney, they met a tribe of people. Hence, the British called them, the ‘First Australians’ and even called as the aboriginals. The First Australians were black, and believed in spirits of souls of the nature and had different lifestyles. They did not have clothes on but hold spears in their hands which seemed barbarous. The British’s target was to try to connect and interact with the native Australians wisely. However, their culture to Britain’s culture was totally different so they could not adapt to their settlement each other. Plus, British’s discrimination and bias perspectives, caused by ethnocentrism to the natives, leaded to the unsuccessful result of their achievement. Furthermore, many of the disrespectful British still thought that natives were violent and wild savages. Effects by these aspects were that British decided to push native Australians away from their homeland, Sydney. Thus, British dug all the native crops and replaced British’s familiar crops like corns and potatoes. On top of that the change in their living, caused by another effect, was unacceptable to British so they determined to set ethnocentric views. However, their ethnocentric views caused a huge problem. While Bennelong was gone to England, the balance of the tribe and power became weak. The First Australians were starving because of lacking food supplies. They could not eat other crops and could not have rights to plant their native crops. A man called ‘Pemulwuy’ could not ignore this situation so he took such a brave actions to revenge. His strategy was to set fire on British’s farms and crops. As this kept happening British was furious. They ferociously killed Pemulwuy and put his head in the beer jar, than sent it to their home country which showed their victory. Unfortunately, the First Australians could not give any of their traditional burial because his head was gone. After few ages, British execute a number of First Australians who lived around the surface of Australia and kidnapped their children. The British was also racism. For instance, they educated the native Australian children and got them married to whites so that they can be whiter. By their greediness to get settled on the lands, they forced some tribes of people to go over the fence so that they can never come back to their own land. Consequently, the British colonizers were selfish, violent, bias and unsympathetic to the culture of the First Australians. If they had ignored their ethnocentric views and accepted the different lifestyle of the First Australians, the war and severe relationships could be prevented. Ethnocentricity should be abandoned.

The Rabbits

Write a well-developed paragraph explaining what you believe is the most important message of "The Rabbits." You will be sharing your paragraph with your table group.

My opinion ahead to the story might be different or wrong but I portrayed an image of Australians and British to prove my view of important message. The numbats symbolizes the Western Austrailans and the fassions of Rabbits are similar to British. Furthermore, the life style and equipments they use are totally different. This way I knew that this story is going to be similar to the history of Australia. To give an short summary of "The Rabbits", the rabbits came over to the new land and start to colonize. Rabbits just started to build their new industries and buildings. They fought but the numbats lost, than the rabbits took over their whole land. Numbets were genocided. Then, the numbats couldn't stop the rabbits. I believe that this book's most important message is that people's ambition is too greedy and if they keep doing it, they will not able to stop them. Thus, before someone does something which ruin the others' entire lives, someone should fight against them to stop like an hero.

Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assesment

For this Julius Caesar Performing Assesment, I chose Brutus to perform alone. Act 3.2, line 12 -31 is what I am going to perform. In this scene, Brutus killed Caesar in front of Pompey's statue in the Senate and is convincing public to be on his side. He sets his honour and justice in his speech and patriotism for people to make sure that he did right thing to kill Caesar.

Brutus :

Be patient till the last.

Romans, contrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and

be silent, that you may hear. Believe me for mine honour, and

have respect to mine honour, that you may believe. Censure

me in your wisdom, and wake your sense, that you may the

better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend

of Caesar's, to him I say that friend demand why Brutus rose against

Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but

that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living,

and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free

men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was

fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him, but,

as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears, for his love;

joy, for his fortune; honour, for his valour; and death, for his

ambition. Who is here so base, that would be a bondman? If

any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so rude, that

would not be a Roman? If any, speak; for him have I offened.

Who is here so rude, that would not be a Roman? If any, speak;

for him have I offended. Who is here so vile, that will not love his

country? If any, speak; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.

It is significant because this quote shows lots of Brutus' honor, brave and arragont. Furthermore, in this scene, he becomes very sneaky, cunning and forceful to the publiens. He shows his patriotism to cast that it was all for the general good of Rome to have liberty, freedom and justice. If he did not say these out to Romans, they could not belive in him that killing Caesar was right to be all free men. They also would not honour him and have respect him because Brutus was Caesar's friend. Killing friendship to the dead line is likely as terrible murder. Therefore, Brutus was so passionate and loyal that he could change crime to murder like an alchemist.

Learning Profiles

I learn best when I focus o details. Processes by analysis, verbalization, and writing. So I am able to pick up the details of information through the eyes and ears even under stress. Following step-by-step and auditory instructions is easy for me to learn about the topics and any writings. However, I am very emotional who can't control himself without any help from people. When I am under stress, I can't focus on big image or space and when people are talking I am not able to listen to the person who is talking over me. It's also my problem that I can not control myself but it is not easy. Therefore, I hope people understand well that I have troubles.

I need to be encouraged to understand and synthesize information from a whole perspective, ad explore ambiguity, emotions and movement. Furthermore, positive, enjoyable sensory-motor experiences will help develop the skills necessary to emotionally interact and fully access imagination, creativity and intuitive introspection. So when the condition of class is negative, I become clumsy, nervous and sad. Thus, the strategies that would help me in my learning is to encourage me to understand by facing to me with positive atmosphere.

I would like my teachers to know this about me that when the trouble comes, I get into serious emotion and look other point of my view or do something else. Then I listen really carefully to the instruction. I think that telling my teacher to leave me alone is very harsh. However, this is my way that I listen to the speaker. Furthermore, I don't make noises or actions that disturb class.

La Premavera by Botticelli

La Premavera, the painting that was drawn by Sandro Botticelli who was the famous Italian artist in Florence in 1478. It has a specific description that represents Venus celebrating the Allegory of Spring which means the arrival of spring. For this painting, Botticelli utilized the tempra on wood, the technique of mixing color paintings with combining the eggs. Furthermore, he added facial expressions, sfumato and the background which values the quality of the art that makes the mood of this art dark but delight.

As you can see, in this painting, there is Venus in the middle of the painting. To left side of our sight, we can see three women who are putting their hands and facing each other which informs us of the celebration of Florence. These three women were targeted by Eros' cubided arrows which make them to fall in the beauty of love. Eros is right above Venus. The other characters are the Greek mythology characters. The most important character among them is Mercury who is on the left side of our view. The reason why is, in this painting, the artist was perhaps trying to show us that he was controlling the clouds to move so the spring is able to come.

Botticelli drew this painting when Juliano de Medici and Simonetta were having a marriage. His main efforts to draw this painting was the love between them which could blame as Eros and Venus. The other significant point of the painting with his efforts was that, it is not about the christianity which should be the one of the story in the bible. Botticelli's purpose was to create and draw the new topic of the arts in Renaissance period. It means, he created the secularism. Therefore his creation from his art, 'La Premavera' gave artists and people to think about the new discover of art. The advantages of being away from the religious painting. From this period, La Premavera developed the freedom of art to become further away from the religion. This made other artists to paint their work with new techniques and knowledges into their real life that sometimes included the pious. They even made their own styles of art and shared their ideas of techniques with people and foreigns. In the conclusion, Botticelli's art affected the christianity to be weakened and the humanism and the secularism to be constructed more and more which made the set of the 'Freedom'.

Driving Forces of the Renaissance

( Venice ) ( Florence )

Rivalry would be the most driving force of the renaissance which could mention lots of changes. Architectures and structures were the example of increasing the rivalry between the city-states. The reason why was the beauties and attractiveness of anicient people's inventions were tempting lots of popularity. For example, if people believes Florence was much safe and beautiful place to live as likely as birds and butterflies flowing in the air than Venice, they would come over to Florence. Therefore this effected the technics on building and designing the structures and either adding some of their ancient shapes for the details. Because of rivalry, they could develop faster than they would have without the rivalry.
