I have just re-read my entries 02 and 03, and I think I will delete them when I'm sleep walking, so I will wake up screaming at what I have done.
Moving on...
Anyway, reflecting on what Alphonso Siddons, Bernard had said during the lecture today, I considered much of the thinking that I had already done, not just for this module, but for all other modules that I had done, and I realised that a design process was something that that I was doing unconsciously ( duh.... forgive me, I'm more clueless than most people about things that I should not be clueless about.). The only thing, was that I could not name what part of the process I was doing back then. Now, I think I have breif ideas as well as certain steps that I can follow through wtih.
( I know I spelled "brief" as "breif" and "with" with "wtih". SO don't bug me.)

I had something in mind to talk about, but I forgot once again. So I'm going to keep typing until I remember. Anyway, today we got to see the documentary " Bowling for Columbine", it was fantastic. NOw I remember a bit of what I wanted to type about. TO remember the rest, I am going to hold down the " I " key till I remember.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII remember now...
I was very impressed that Michael Moore did what he did in the movie. I mean, considering all the interviews and comments he made to prove his point, I could think of a lot of people who would gladly slit my throat for doing the kind of things that he did.
So what was his point? I believe that he made a few points altogether.
1) A blame game does nothing to help. Blaming is all about speculating the faults of others, and it does not solve any problems, just makes them worse. The examples that certain interviewees used to excuse the high death-by-gun rates in that country.
2) Even if all men can feel guilt, finance and benefit can make some men very blind to the agony of others. The NRA and Kmart example.
3) We reap what we sow. We justify ourselves to manipulate others to hurt others, but when we get hurt, we get all pissed off like we were innocent. The history of world violence part is the example.
4) Fear begats paranoia. Paranoia begats violence on justification of self-defence. Violence begats more fear.
5) Where hurting someone is involved, whether accidentally or not, justification of the deed is usually disgusting, especially when there were other options, and even more so when the deed was intentional.
IN OTHERS WORDS, IF YOU ARE WRONG, JUST ACCEPT IT. Note that all I have typed is not just for you readers to read and comment on, but it is also for myself, as a reminder.
