Here Are Less Distractions and You Are Not Occupied by So Far, My Experience with Online Learning Is That Everything Around You Isabella Antunes Due to the corona virus, I have been spending a lot Gator of my time at home with no real social interaction. I have mostly filled my time on my phone using Snapchat and FaceTime to stay in contact with friends and family. I have also been helping my mom Gazette and dad with my little sister, due to them both being essential workers they are not home. This has came April 24. 2020 with extra cleaning and picking up around the house. ENMS ONliNE Online school has had me thinking about how much easier real life school is. It is so much easier to have Annika Anderson more time to focus on school in school. There are less distractions and you are not occupied by So far, my experience with online learning is that everything around you. You only have to focus on I don’t really like it. I would rather be learning in work and participation. I found real school so much person, in a classroom, with my classmates, but easier. You could get help easier too. I do like that we are able to do things on our own time. Although I enjoy doing all my work on my With all the free time, I have been putting it to good own time, I don’t really get things done. I use. I have been running and exercising. I have been procrastinate a lot and I’m not good with my time trying to eat better also. I have also been cooking management, but it is something that I am and doing crafts with my little sister. I have put some working on. The best part about this whole time into teaching my sister to swim. online school thing is that I get to sleep in and not have to worry about being late to class. During this quarantine there isn’t a lot to do except watch Netflix and eat. I have watched at least three shows already and some had five seasons. I have also been taking this time to get Maddie Bell in shape and also improve my basketball skills. My experience as an online learner has been hard and a little Every day I work out and I go to training with my difficult to adjust to. While school and homework are pretty dad. We play basketball two times a week. My simple, online school is something we all have to get acclimated family and I have also been hanging out a lot to. Not only is it hard to contact teachers and ask questions but more than we did before the quarantine; we’ve some things are confusing and some students learn differently been playing games and have been having a than others. Some students like learning by hearing, some prefer family dinner mostly every night. visuals, others prefer both, some even like hands-on where they can touch to learn, it just depends on the student and how they I am getting used to doing online school. This like to learn. quarantine might be caused by a horrible thing, but it is giving us time to ourselves and to get One issue is if students need extra help on their work in school away from society. there would be a teacher or administrator to assist the student, but with online school it’s hard because it is easier to understand when someone is explaining to you in person. Online school made me realize how much I miss school and how much easier school is, also in school you can do fun activities while online school it is a little challenging. Everyone is still adjusting to this change, but soon it will become a routine that we will be used to. Dayanna Avila Hira Azhar I honestly really miss going to school and seeing my My experience as an online learner has been adequate. There have been times where I feel the need to be friends. I never would have thought that all of that surrounded by people/friends. But then, there are other would just go away in the middle of this school year. times where it feels nice to enjoy some alone time. Online Before leaving school for spring break I thought it is school can sometimes be inconvenient and confusing but it only going to be for about two weeks but then it also can save a lot of my time rather than to be stuck in went to four, then six, then so on and I wish school for eight long, painful hours. As an online school learner, it can be stressful sometimes because I may not everything could go back to how it was before understand an assignment and it can be hard to complete Covid-19. Even though I get to stay up late and wake it. But I say, that the overall experience has been just fine! up at whatever time I want, it’s not like I can go Although online school may sound great, it is not. It can be anywhere or see my friends, but at least I can be very confusing and stressful. A scenario I am afraid to face, is if my computer shuts down. If this happens and I’m with my family and doggies. not able to complete an assignment, I’ll have to email a teacher for an extension. Which can lead to a very stressful week where I already have other assignments to complete as well. Also, when emailing a teacher, they may not be able to respond immediately. Which can lead to being stuck on an assignment for a while. My experience with being an online learner is okay Online school does have some advantages. Online school but being in a public school like East Naples was just can be more enjoyable than going to school because you can wake up at any time you want. Instead of waking up so much better for me. I get to do the work after my super early, I can wake up at my own time and have a brother is done with his classwork and learn new peaceful fresh start to my day. And, not only that, instead things. Being an online learner is kind of easy but of feeling obligated to go to school for eight hours, I’m sometimes I’m like I will just do it tomorrow and able to start school at any time I’d enjoy. Which means I’m able to everything at a time that’s best for me. then I have double the work for the next day. It was Since I’m able to wake up and do things in my own time, I not like that in public schools for because in school I have a lot more free-time on my hands. I’m able to now sit had a teacher in front of me and at my house, I have down and enjoy all the movies/shows I wanted to watch many other things that can entertain me other than instead of working on homework or studying for a test a online school. I basically learn better when there is night before a tiring and early school day. I’ve been able to also spend more time with my family and also finally an actual teacher teaching me in a classroom, then able to reorganize and declutter my room I’ve been telling in my bed and a computer teaching me. myself to do for weeks! When I not being an online learner I usually just go This experience has made me reflect upon going to East on tic-tok, Netflix, or watch a movie on Disney+ with Naples Middle School that I shouldn’t take teachers for granted. I’ve now realized that teachers are helpful and my dad and brother. The show I’m currently on we should learn to respect them more. Now that we aren’t Netflix is The Flash and I only need like four more able to see them anymore, it’s much harder to learn new episodes and it’s a five season show, but I think they things. are making another season. The Flash is really good, I have many things to do to keep me busy! Since most of and I would 100% recommend to anyone, I wasn’t us are at home with our families, we should do fun activities such as: board really a big fan about all those superhero movies, games, charades, but I really think The Flash is a good show. I also watch a family sometimes watch YouTube when I get bored of movie or solving Netflix and tic-tok. I wake up between 9-10 pm and a puzzle. Another thing to do when sleep at 12-3am. I have a really bad sleeping you’re bored is to schedule and when I go back to school, I’m going to find a new hobby have a hard time adjusting back into a normal like baking, sleeping schedule. skating, cooking, painting, or even reading! This can save you from major boredom and you’ll get to try something new.

The Diffusion of Foreign Cultural Products: The Case Analysis of Japanese Comics (Manga) Market in the US Takeshi Matsui Hitotsubashi University/Princeton University Abstract This paper outlines the historical development of the US manga (Japanese comics) industry from the 1980s through the present in order to address the question why foreign cultural products become popular in offshore markets in spite of cultural difference. This paper focuses on local publishers as “gatekeepers” in the introduction of foreign culture. Using complete data on manga titles published in the US market from 1980 to 2006 (n=1,058), this paper shows what kinds of manga have been translated, published, and distributed for over twenty years and how the competition between the two market leaders, Viz and Tokyopop, created the rapid market growth.

Ryan, California State University, East Bay Proceedings of the CATESOL State Conference, 2007 Manga as a Teaching Tool 2 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders The [manga] titles are flying off the shelves. Students who were not interested in EFL have suddenly become avid readers ...students get hooked and read [a] whole series within days. (E. Kane, personal communication, January 17, 2007) For Americans, it may be difficult to comprehend the prominence of manga, or comic books, East Asia.1. Most East Asian nations both produce their own comics and publish translated Japanese manga, so Japanese publications are popular across the region and beyond. Japan is well-known as a highly literate society; what is less well-known is the role that manga plays in Japanese text consumption (Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco). 37% of all publications sold in Japan are manga of one form or another, including monthly magazines, collections, etc. (Japan External Trade Organization [JETRO], 2006). Although Japan has less than half the population of the United States, manga in all formats amounted to sales within Japan of around 4 billion dollars in 2005 (JETRO, 2006). This total is about seven times the United States' 2005 total comic book, manga, and graphic novel sales of 565 million dollars (Publisher's Weekly, 2007a, 2007b). Additionally, manga is closely connected to the Japanese animation industry, as most anime2 television series and films are based on manga; manga also provides inspiration for Japan's thriving video game industry.

  • Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented In
    Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By George Andrew Stey Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance, Advisor Professor Maureen Hildegarde Donovan Professor Philip C. Brown Copyright by George Andrew Stey 2009 Abstract Certain works of Japanese animation appear to strive to approach reality, showing elements of realism in the visuals as well as the narrative, yet theories of film realism have not often been applied to animation. The goal of this thesis is to systematically isolate the various elements of realism in Japanese animation. This is pursued by focusing on the effect that film produces on the viewer and employing Roland Barthes‟ theory of the reality effect, which gives the viewer the sense of mimicking the surface appearance of the world, and Michel Foucault‟s theory of the truth effect, which is produced when filmic representations agree with the viewer‟s conception of the real world. Three directors‟ works are analyzed using this methodology: Kon Satoshi, Oshii Mamoru, and Miyazaki Hayao. It is argued based on the analysis of these directors‟ works in this study that reality effects arise in the visuals of films, and truth effects emerge from the narratives. Furthermore, the results show detailed settings to be a reality effect common to all the directors, and the portrayal of real-world problems and issues to be a truth effect shared among all. As such, the results suggest that these are common elements of realism found in the art of Japanese animation.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1.Background of Study Japan has so many traditions of folklore that had inherited for generation whether in story form or in tradition form. With some creativity and existing technology that they had, some Japanese filmmaker has succeeded by making some Japanese folklore into more interesting form and well known by people whether inside Japan or outside Japan. According to Kitayama “Folklore is a stories shared by folk people from the past and these stories are similar to myths, except that they are related more to human matters than to supernatural beings” (Kitayama 2005: 85) By this quotation the writer argue that folklore is cultural product which is produced by people in the past and it is contained of myth and usually, the society will connect the folklore to supernatural even more to human matters. As emphasized by Lindahl, Although many people regard a “folktale” as a fictional form, I use the term here to apply to any traditional tale, whether its tellers consider it true, or false, or both. Thus, the scope of the tale extends far beyond fiction to encompass belief tales, personal experience stories, and accounts of major historical events (Lindahl, 2004: 200). Based on the quotation above, the writer argues that folklore acknowledges the practice of labeling narratives based on the element of belief, he also realizes the inherent story within each and the tendency of storytellers to use a little fiction and a little nonfiction in crafting their stories. Lindahl uses this terminology to put the focus on the storytellers themselves and help the reader to recognize the relationship between tale and teller.

  • Early Oshii. from Patlabor to Ghost in the Shell : a Scientist Jumped, and Became a Woman
    Early Oshii. From Patlabor to Ghost in the Shell : a scientist jumped, and became a woman. Camille Akmut January 20, 2020 Abstract Before Mamoru Oshii gained international acclaim with the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie, he had already developed many of its themes in the two Patlabor movies (1989 and 1993, respectively). Here we introduce the first of these with a thesis (the fall of the programmer mirrors the birth of the gender- ambiguous cyborg) as well as notes from the history of computer science and technology. "Patlabor for me was a major film in many ways, and I think it became my turning point. I know I am what I am today because of Patlabor."{ he declared himself. 1 Introduction : Patlabor 1, a scientist learns to die \The scientific mission of the philosopher is to learn to die", Canguilhem told us via proxy, the Stoics, in "Life and Death". || Context for the time period of Patlabor 1 's release has already been provided, though not specifically related to it, and not entirely satisfying. For many decades, (...) the more ethnocentric characters of Japanese manga/anime pop culture were [held] too exotic to ever interest the average American. In the 1960s Japanese TV imports like Astro Boy were banished to the remotest time slots (...). A video store may have had one Kurosawa movie in its foreign section. But in the 1990s the growing hip-hop, pluralistic culture embraced Japanese cultural forms as an alternative to western iconography, creating an international street cyberpunk. Kung fu masters, samurai, and ninjas were no longer archaic historical artifacts, but cool modern conventions.

  • Popular Culture
    Web Japan http://web-japan.org/ POPULAR CULTURE A wide spectrum of popular tastes Manga With the appearance of writer-illustrator Tezuka Osamu after World War II, so-called “story manga,” or illustrated publications in comic book format, developed in a somewhat unique way in Japan. At one time, the main readers of such publications were people born during the “baby boom” of 1947–1949, but as those readers grew older, many different types of manga came into being. Beginning in the 1960s, manga readership steadily expanded to include everyone from the very young to people in their thirties and forties. As of 2016, manga accounted for 33.8% of the volume of all books and magazines sold in Japan, with their influence being felt in various art forms and the culture at large. Though some story manga are aimed at small children who are just beginning to learn to read, others are geared toward somewhat older boys and/or girls, as well as a general Manga comics readership. There are gag manga, which Manga magazines on sale in a store.
