Final blogging!

As we discussed in the class, I really think intrinsic rewards are much more important than extrinsic rewards. However I study hard in university for extrinsic rewards...

In SIS department in Kwansei Gakuin University, there are tons of tasks to get a grade. Honesty, some of them are no fun to do. For me, there is no intrinsic rewards such as satisfaction. For example,In English OC class, I have to do English Central. I suppose to do English Central for satisfaction or achievement, but it's just a pain to me! I do it for the grades. I won't do it if it doesn't count as a part of grades. I wish I could enjoy it.

On the other hand, Spanish class is really fun. Maybe it means that I study it for my satisfaction. Spanish is much harder than English, and sometimes it's too much to remember all the vocabulary and the grammar. But I enjoy studying it! So It's nice to have some class I study for my own satisfaction.

which group wins?

I think Group B can solve the problem quicker.
I guess people tend to be more excited or got enthusiasm when there's a reward for it.
And this type of problem needs people to be cool and calm to figure it out.
Group A has too much pressure to figure this problem out and they can't be cool.
Or some of them might be given it up before starting to solve.
If you think you can't get reward for it because the rivals are too many, why do you have to do this? Isn't is just wasting the time?
Then you might not to be able to get satisfaction by figuring it out after the all rewards were taken by the others.
On the other hand, Group B does't need to be too eager to solve it, so they can try to figure it out like a cross word on the paper calmly and easily.
Maybe their movement would be slower, but everybody has motivation like compliting a game.
It's good to have many motivated people to figure the problem, I suppose.
So I think Groupe B will solve this much more quicker.

what motivates people?

Sorry, about a candle thing, I really hate thinking about those stuff. So let me skip that part.

So, what motivates people? I guess it really depends on people.
But personally, get rewarding from someone really motivates me only if the task is simple and everybody can do it with a little effort.
If a task is really hard to get a reward, I won't even try. I will give up before I give it a shot.
The bottom line, we are not equal. People are not same. There are very smart people and some of them are really not. So I think what should be fair to everyone is tasks.
Rewards sometimes works for me, but not all the time.

turkey

i eager to go to Turkey!!!
so I watched Istanbul one, and after watching that, it makes me wanna go there more!!!
the city looks so beautiful, because of the history of mixed up religion or emperors, it makes it look kind of mysterious. that fascinates me even more.
And i love drinking coffee. And in the video, the beautiful woman explained about the coffee culture. Turkey people drinks coffee before breakfast. So "breakfast" means "after the breakfast".
And there are many many cheeses and olives for the breakfast. I love cheese and olive!!! I love tomato too!!!
Turkey makes me hungry!!!I wanna eat salty runny fried cheese too. I really envy him now.:D
Now I decided to go there.I wanna go there and eat.

under 20 years old

The pros and cons of being under 20 years old.
In Japan, under 20 years old means that you are not adult.Therefore you don't have the right to vote and the duty to pay a pension for the future. However, you are not allowed to drink alcohol and smoke. They are some big differences between under 20 years old and over 20 years old in Japan.
So, what's the pros and cons besides those things?
First of all, the responsibility could be pros for the people under 20 years old. They don't get blamed much because of their ages. So they are a sort of "free" to do about everything. Whereas, the adults do get blamed of course, they have the responsibiliy to every single action they take.
Secondly, the independence. The adults are required to be independent. I suppose that it could be pros and cons for both. For instance, Teenagers sometime get bothered by their parents or adults around them. However, the adults don't. So it's cons for under 20 years old. Yet to be independ is not easy, sometimes It's easier to have someone bother or take care of you.

(;_;)

Sorry, I couldn't come up with anything with this topic.
I'm into something but not too much.
And then I don't think about my future,,,sometimes life changes.
well, i will write about "fur for fashion".
Some people strongly refuse to wear real fur.
But it seems wearing fur is trending these days.
So, what about fashion desining?
I will research about fur for fashion with various views.
It has nothing to do with my future or SIS though!

Let's go abroad!!

I have no certain fact that few Japanese go abroad these days but I feel it as a student.
So I agree with Glen Fukushima and I have two reasons to agree with him.

At first, a usual university student doesn't have the opportunity to go abroad. Actually, there are many ways to go abroad for university students but going abroad is always risky for Japanese university students.
Because of job hunting(shu-katsu) culture,students don't want to spend extra years in university,they eager to get a job.
I believe most of Japanese university students are interested in going abroad,but going abroad for long time is too risky for their graduation.

Second,It cost a lot. Not many people can afford it. Before you leave the country, there are tons of things you need to do,for example,go to the hospital for the vaccine,get the visa, etc...And also it is troublesome. Most of students doesn't have enough time to do it, maybe they are too busy.

However, I hope many people go abroad and have nice experiences there.
Going abroad makes people think about their home country.And I think it's good thing to do.
I want to go abroad for a year,but I can't. I am one of usual Japanese student,I don't want spend extra years in university.And also poor.
All the thing I can do is just wait for money falls from the sky.
