Before I stary, I assure that for this writing is a brief summary of the documentary, I shall not analyze the 'three ways to persuade' factors here.
<Brief synopsis of "Jesus Camp">
- The documentary starts with a scenary of a grey, cloudy village featuring with a gloomy background music. Inflammatory quotes- clamoring out as if every thought of theirs is what God says (even when the points are unreasonable and ridiculous) - such as "Pray urgently so that God's will could be done" flow out. And a radio station interviewer ardently claims that they- the people who are clamoring for such nonsense- are just adding " ~in the name of God" on all their conducts; that is not what the Christianity teaches!
- The next scene tapes a Children's Prey Conference hosted by Becky Fischer. Children participating in the camp do a barbarian-like, weird dance performance that reminded me of primitive tribal dances. Everyone says that "God can do anything. Let's fix the world". Children are brainwashed and excited by the instigative ambience that they even cry. They also mutters prayers that sound just like what an Indian magician would murmur in their ceremonies.
- Becky Fischer says that because muslims train their children to be able to use arms and sacrifice for Islam without hesitation, people should open camps and make their children focused on Christianity so that they can fight back to muslims. She says, "Stand up, and take our land back"
- Saying that "God is only possible answer to all questions", Fischer makes all chilren delude that they should view the world in the sight of what she tells them. [However, what she says is NOT what the messages of God!]
- The camp, that was initiated in 2001 with a name "Kids on Fire", ties education with religion and politics. Thus, kids cannot learn proper science, nor can they develop proper ideologies or views.
- I completely agreed with the Mike - the host of "Radio fire" show - that those people do not understand the fundamentals of Christianity and that they are doing HARM.
It was a great SHOCK for me that such people like radical evangelicals exist and I think they are complete idiots....

(Real Ver.) [Personal Diary] To. Kitty!! - September 11th 2011, Sunday
Some photos of him....
Date: September 11, 2011
Day: Sunday
Weather: Sunny
Hi Kitty~ how are you doing? :)
How was your day?? I assume that it was a great day for you since it was a very sunny day with clear sky and snow-white clouds.
Today, I had a wonderful day; I had lunch with JULIAN ASSANGE!!
My first impression? Umm... he was... quite nice-looking (though not as good as I am :D )
He had a white hair finely styled with wax and an angel-like smile - this pretty much surprised me because I couldnot believe that this bright gentleman disclosed so much confidential secrets worldwide without sympathy. He was 10minutes late to the appointment, and he said that he had to give the slip to paparazzis and reporters.
We had lunch at Nilli; he ordered Funghi pasta with a potato soup and a cup of coke; I had Bolognese pasta with corn soup. He refused to talk while eating, so we had to silently eat our dishes - without a single question!! Then, I was very worried because he was a busy man and I had to ask so much questions. After swiftly finishing all the food, I poured tons of questions on him! Here are the questions and answers... (I'm not sure I got all of his points... I couldn't adjust to his Australian accent and speaking style ;( )
Me: Tell me about your earlier life.
JA (Julian Assange):
Okay.... I was born in Townsville, Queensland though I spent significant years of my youth in Magnetic Island. I grew up under a step father who ran a touring theatre company but when my mother got divorced once again and remarried to a musician. Though I suffered very much from sudden change in my environment, I surmounted the accident without much backlash. It was in 1982, however, that the worst event in my life occured. My mother broke up with the musician AGAIN; and this time, she was in a very bad situation in which I and my step brother might have had to live with the singer - who I did not know and who was not nice to me at all. In a desperate hope, my mother escaped from home with us and we had to live 5 years hiding secretly from then: I moved 30 times before even turning 14 and live in 50 different towns and attended 37 different schools. It is explicit that my earlier life was not that happy and bright but I think that is the root of my persistent challenge. Also, it is then when I firmly decided that I would try my best to form a healthy, transparent society.
Later, I found out that I had a talent in computer programming and thus, I studied the field and attained professional degrees with many distinctions and honors.
Me: How did you start studying computer programming?
JA:
In 1987, when I was 16, I first formed a hacking community named International Subversives. I hacked others' computers under a fake id of Mendax. Though I recklessly hacked and obtained information, I followed strict rules that reflected my life-long aim: that my computer work should be devoted to form a better, cleaner society. My rules were,
1. Don't damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them)
2. Don't change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks)
3. Share information
I was caught by the Australian Federal Police while hacking into the Melbourne master terminal of Nortel, the Canadian telecommunications company. I pleaded guility to 25 charges of hacking because I was proud of my conducts and had a firm conviction that my hacking had no victims. I paid 2100 Australian dollars and was let go for, according to the judge, "there is just no evidence that there was anything other than sort of intelligent inquisitiveness and the pleasure of being able to—what's the expression—surf through these various computers". Also, my disrupted childhood helped me out a lot.
Me: What are your motivations for founding WikiLeaks?
JA: As I said, it has been my dream to establish a medium that would create an open society. As I became a hacker and a computer programmer, I decided to challenge the governments. Thus, in 2006, I founded WikiLeaks under a firm philosophy; "To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not." The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. Since unjust systems, by their nature, induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance. With this belief, I devoted my whole life to WikiLeaks during the past 6years; and I will continue my work until my time in this planet allows me to do so.
Me: What does WikiLeaks do?
JA: WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes submissions of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistleblowers. Launched in 2006, WikiLeaks has revealed more than 1.2million classified documents.
Me: How does WikiLeaks work?
JA: Classical whistleblowers release the documents and send such documents to WikiLeaks. The methods to hide their identities are
1. We sometimes use state-of-the-art encryption to bounce stuff around the internet, to hide trails, and to pass through legal jurisdictions like Sweden and Belgium. We get information in the mail, and check the credibility of the stuff. When the truth is confirmed, we format them and release them.
Me: What is your stance on 9/11?
JA: I am constantly ANNOYED that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9/11. I am utterly disappointed with the obviously faked conspiracies told by governments and also am very willing to reveal all the documents that I am aware of. I actually published more than 500,000 intercepted pager messages on November 25th, 2009. Since the WikiLeaks is constantly working on intercepting even more detailed information from the Pentagon, I assume we will very soon be able to uncover the whole picture of what 9/11 is all about.
Me: How are the governments' responses to your actions?
JA: Well... I didn't expect them to be "GOOD" of course.... (smile)
umm.... the United States vice president referred to me as "high-tech terrorist" at the beginning of this year.... and the U.S. government is always trying to block me from releasing secret information. The Secretary of State has been kind enough to send black mails to me with all the threats.... the government hacked the cctv cameras located in front of my house.... which is clearly a conduct of spying....However, it is not only the United States government that tries to block me. The British government had been kind enough to freeze all my cards and bank accounts - even that from the Swiss bank - with a broadscale threat on the institutions. It banished me from their country and is always looking for an opportunity to arrest me. But, I WILL NOT GET CAUGHT. I have an obligation to uncover all the dirty and unnecessarily hidden information to the public because the public has 'right to know'. I'd like to thank all the supporters of WikiLeaks here for their help.
Me: All your properties were frozen? How did you overcome the difficulty?
JA: Then, I was utterly thwarted. However, I thought that there was always a way to solve out things.... so I sought for a solution and thought of a system of 'donation'. Currently, WikiLeaks is completely operated by donation; information are donated and funds are donated. Again, thank you dear advocates!
Me: What are your and WikiLeaks' future plans?
JA: I am definitely gonna continue my job in the WikiLeaks. My future goal is to feature more on public speeches held in universities, famous squares, and so on. I hope more people recognize the existence and the significance of WikiLeaks and at the same time send more information for the sake of universal democracy.
Me: Thank you so much, Mr. Assange.
JA: Your welcome young man~ :)

[Julian Assange mentioning 9/11]
Date: September 11th 2011
Invitation to the Lunch with Gyutae Park at Nilli, an Italian restaurant
Dear Mr. Assange,
On behalf of all Americans who are commemorating the 9/11 terror incident, it is my great pleasure to invite you and WikiLeaks to the lunch on Sep. 11th, next Sunday.
I must first say that I am deeply impressed with the momentous contribution that WikiLeaks is making to the modern society. Especially, your recent report of the Iraq war logs and the Guantanamo files. While searching through such shocking materials, I have came upon your remark about 9/11 affair and the "conspiration theories" that you proposed. Especially your interview with the Belfast Telegraph reporter Matthew Bell piqued my interest a lot. Thus, if your time allows, I'd like to personally meet you and discuss more about the truth hidden behind the 9/11 terror and explain more about the following media report; "From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time), WikiLeaks released half a million US national text pager intercepts. The intercepts cover a 24 hour period surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington."
The place for lunch is set to Nilli, a very renowned Italian restaurant in Korea, for I've heard that you enjoy Italian food very much. I believe that our conversation would cover various range of your life - both your personal life, ideology and your public standing. I really look forward meeting you!
The ensuing list of questions I give you to enjoy more fluent and gay conversation with you
1. Tell me about your earlier life
2. How did you start studying computer programming?
3. What are your motivations for founding WikiLeaks?
4. What does WikiLeaks do?
5. How does WikiLeaks work?
6. What is your stance on 9/11?
7. What are your and WikiLeaks' future plans?
<rest of the questions I assume would come out as we talk>
Warmest Regards,
Gyutae Park

Aren't Documentaries supposed to be real??
We all believe that documentaries convey us the truth; sometimes a hidden shocking truth and sometimes just a beautiful and miraculous truth concerning the nature. Through such truth, in the mist of information described in documentaries, we seek pleasure, knowledge, and most important of all, morals.
However, WHAT IF THE DOCUMENTARY IS NOT ENTIRELY TRUE?? Does it give hamful effects to people??
The producers of the documentary 'Catfish', Yaniv Schulman and his filmmaker brother Henry, claim that the documentary is a complete truth, without any forms of manipulation of the truth. Nobody can rebut the claim for there is a possibility; the only problem is that the possibility seems to be quite low. It should be a remarkable coincidence...
Dubious factor comes directly from the first. When Yaniv mentions "she seems to be very pretty and talented YET", it sounds as if he knows the whole story and is trying to dramatize it. In addition, why would any filmmaker start making a documentary with so plain story like a photographer meeting a girl who has interest in drawing pictures through social network sites? Does it have anything special to be sold to public? As well, documentaries need motives and goals.... What are they here?? To portray how the plain people become friends?? There comes a reasonable doubt!!
With all due respect to such doubts however, I cannot agree upon the thought that this documentary ultimately does more harm than good.
First clear and obvious reason is that the main figures featuring in this film did benefit a lot by making this film. Yaniv was awarded a very honorable prize and became a celebrity. Angela opened her art gallery and many people are buying them. What a WIN-WIN documentary!!
Some people argue that it gives indirect harm to Abby or facebook company. I do concede that Abby may feel ashamed of her mother. However, Abby didnot instantaneously show any signs of being ashamed, and for Angela is not ashamed of her conducts, she would be able to tell Abby about what she felt, what she had in mind and she would be able to sufficiently excuse herself. In the matter of facebook company, I think the documentary played its genuine role here: warning people of the possible harm of social network sites. For this incident is very rare undoubtedly, the documentary is actually benefiting the Facebook company that the number of future identity crime victims will be lessened. Also, for the users, since they would be very cautious and careful in using facebook, it would raise their sense of safety.
After all, I really enjoyed the documentary, and no matter if it is completely true or forged to some degree, the documentary is not harming the society as some critics argue. Hope the fascinating plot does more good than harm to the society~!
Possible Debate Motions are
1. THBT documentary should be filmed upon only the truth
2. THBT social network sites should ban the creation of multi-accounts (some people- involving some teachers in KMLA make two accounts; one for students and one for private acquaintances)
3. THBT Yaniv is a victim in the documentary

Watching the speech of Johanna Blakley....
Yesterday, I was watching 'Boston Legal', one of the American dramas dealing with court cases and lawyers' lives. In the episode, the law firm sued a television company for not providing enjoyable programs for the elderly over 50s. In the status quo, television companies, further the social media themselves, recognize and organize their viewers through demographic categories. We often see companies analyzing their viewer ratings by age!!
Johanna Blakley, in the TED video, argues that social media companies should now change themselves and shift their way of categorizing the viewers. Claiming that difference in online activity-engagements come not from demographics but from difference in interests, Blakley suggests that the companies should focus on difference in thoughts, interests, and perspectives when they categorize and target certain viewers. As her speech goes on, she also claims that women are now the leading viewers of media; women are the majority viewers and participants in various social media and networks.
Blakley's speech clearly describes many changes in social trend- especially those regarding gender issues and social media. However, she seems to disvalue the importance of analysis on demographics.
Analyzing viewers by demographics still plays a significant role. Obvious gap between generations exist in the status quo, and different generations, under different culture and tradition, exhibit different preferences to programs. Definite example would be a recent survey conducted by KSI (Korean Statistics Institution) on different preferences of people when they watch televisions. people in the 10s and 20s mainly preferred music programs and entertainment programs whereas most 40s and 50s pursued documentaries, news, and other leisure programs like fishing, travelling, and so forth. Though I concede that difference in interests should be regarded as one of the key factors, the phenomenon is mainly happening within youngsters. As long as cultural differences between generations exist, media companies should still focus on ages.
Possible Debate motions would be
1. THBT the broadcasting companies should be mandated to make programs targetting people over 50s
2. THBT women are leading the social networks expansion
3. THBT age limits on joining online social networks should be abolished

How Blessed I Am
As I was watching the speech of Patricia Ryan, various minds preoccupied my mind. One of them was the economics paper that I am currently working on. I am writing a thesis in ENGLISH..... though I am Korean, and though the paper deals with Korean corporations. Why is this ridiculous pheonomenon taking place?- it's because English is the "global language".
'All the modernized prestigious universities are in United States and United Kingdom, and every person thus has to learn English to pass exams and ace the admission to such schools......'
How sad, and How dare can we say this?
Last week, I engaged in a voluntary service that I am quite sure that I will remember for the rest of my life. I went to the church, which offered after school education service to kids under 12. There I met these small kids who were very bright and playful; but bore huge pain. One of the kids, whose parents were divorced and thus was living only with his father, was very hyperactive. I asked him why, and he said that his mother was visiting him the next day- for the weekend. I asked him how often he sees his mother, and he told me that it was a very rare incident. I was extremely and harrowingly sad and I pitied him very much; a 12 year old boy was being so happy because he finally can see his mother for 2 days..... How blessed I am!!.....??
Another child was even living alone. Her parents were divorced, and were gone. Her only brother was in U.S. The 12 year old girl looked careworn; AT THAT YOUNG AGE... How blessed I am!!.....??
The other child was even more pitiful. He did not have any family, friends, and he even had some mental disease. Looking at him smiling as if the world had blessed him and looking at him smiling at me for trying to help him, I was very very pitiful. How blessed I am!!.....??
I was assigned to teach English to the three kids. They were eager to learn, but the environment was not favorable. We only had one text book, which was not even a new one. For the whole time I was with them, I was concerned with one very serious question; "Is this really a necessary thing?"
In KMLA, all students including me struggle to learn and improve our English. Obviously there are many reasons, but the primary one is to get high scores from tests. We have to take SATs, APs, and IBTs~!! After teaching the kids as hard as I could, I suddenly noticed: "Maybe I am not the blessed one..." If English works as a barrier for such poor kids in succeeding in today's society, if English helps killing a languate every 14days, and if English does not change the world, WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN ENGLISH??!!
Korean language is an extremely scientific and well-organized language; we Koreans have to protect it from disappearing. Personally I value the purpose of learning English very very much. It is just that...... the modern trend of repudiating and ignoring all non-English using students and of enforcing people to learn English is no good. I see greater value in watching and guiding the kids in unfortunate conditions.
"The children can lead Africa from a dark continent to a good continent", an African student said.
Perhaps, it's not the English that builds up true potential and develops true ability. Always remember how blessed you are and I am, and try somehow to protect own languages and stop putting too much pressure on learning English, for there are way more valuable concepts and qualities.

30days of "Not Washing"
The "30days" documentary provides an eccentric and somehow interesting environment- such as 'A straight man in gay world', 'A strict christian living with muslims', and 'living with a minimum wage'- and watches the outcome. Though the situation is unlikely-to-happen, people can grasp the distant world and somehow assimilate to the culture. After watching "30days of a straight man in gay world", I, who considered myself a homophobic, noticed that gays are all the same; except for their sexual preference. They eat same food, they play same sports, and they are humane. I was pleased to win from the prejudice that gays are totally disgusting people and that they are not same as straight men in every sense. Thus, I agree that "30days" documentaries are educational, and even further, that they can redress our biases.
Hoping that my "30days" program can teach a meaningful lesson as well, I'd like to propose my idea; "30days of NOT WASHING". 'How dirty the person would get and how displeased people would become to see such filthy scene', you might ask. It does, however, have a clear intention: it not only emphasizes the importance of cleaning yourself, but it can verify such rumors as 'It's better to take a shower only 4times a week to protect your hair and avoid hair loss'.
Before elaborating the specific plan, let's go over some definition and past instances. For "washing", it means 'no showering, no hair washing, no teeth cleaning, and no deodorant." Also, I'd like the participants be MYSOPHOBICS- who are extremely obsessed with cleaning themselves- and normal people- who are not that obsessed with cleaning themselves. (OMG~! I'm really excited to see the results~:) ) There are many past experiments about the "NOT CLEANING" issue.
--http://web.mac.com/jfmori/iWeb/nz/No%20Shampoo%20Experiment/No%20Shampoo%20Experiment.html : This is the 'NO SHAMPOO experiment'. This girl thought that the shampoo can be too harsh for her hair, because it strips all the natural oils from her hair. Thus, she quitted using shampoos and used hair conditioners and other stuffs to rinse her hair. There are many self-confirming photos and 'no shampoo' seems to work very well~!
--http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2013327538_nonbathers02.html : This is an article criticizing those people who are too much obsessed with 'I should not stink at all'. My small opinion on the issue is 'what's the matter if you stink a little? Wouldn't it be better than wearing all the toxic chemicals from deodorants, perfumes, cosmetics and so on?'
--http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-477378/Six-weeks-wash-The-soapless-experiment.html : This is a story of a lady who got sick of using all the odorful chemicals to clean herself and trying to artificially make herself beautiful with excessive usage of cosmetics. She quitted cleaning her self for 40days and decided to use a bar of soap, organic shampoo and conditioner, and a basic moisturiser in cleaning herself. WOW~!
In the program, every participants will get daily health check. It would include hair health testing, skin health testing, mental state testing- for if you don't wash yourself, sometimes you get to hate yourself- and other fundamental health tests. They will be under surveilance for 30days and all their behaviors will be recorded. Hopefully, this program will enable people to notice what happens both physically and mentally when you don't take a shower, what your reaction is, and what is the suitable interval to use shampoo or take a shower, and so on.
It is very hard to anticipate or predict the result, for people usually wash themselves- at least people around me- and thus, don't know what it feels like to not take a shower for 30days. However, my slightest guess is that mysophobics will suffer from extreme mental distress and might have a seizure. Large number of people will try to reach water to clean themselves. And for the rest of the incidents.... LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN REALITY~!!!!!

However, my slightest guess is that mysophobics will suffer from extreme mental distress and might have a seizure. Large number of people will try to reach water to clean themselves. And for the rest of the incidents.... LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN REALITY~!!!!!
