Values

I guess i have too many values within me that would easy fill this up if i wrote them all down, in anycase my main values would revolve around God, my family, my own personal code of honour and several other things. This values are what give meaning to my life, like I actually believe in true love and marriage, i.e no divorce. Call me old school, but i like my girls: korean, traditonal(in a sense of attitude) and loyal. I also believe in self preservation, this may sound initially selfish, but my self preservation is different from the normal sense of the word, in a sense that i have a good knowledge of what is good and bad and that it would be very hard for people to sway me to either side, unless I myself know/determine either side's consequences. As for giving up this values, as mentioned earlier i have a strong sense of integrity regarding values, morals etc. To directly put it, whatever bad things I have done before, i have done because I wanted to and not because someone else persuaded me.  I cannot say I'm clean, I'd kiss the as* of that person who says they are(hope its a korean girl) all I CAN SAY, is that whatever wrongdoings i have committed I did out of my own reasons, and not because I sold out my values for another person.

Dead Men's Path - Chinua Achebe

This story is basically a lesson of "never forgeting your roots" so to speak, or not knowing your past may affect your future. There are countless analogies that basically lead to one main point, and this story of "Dead Men's Path" is yet another. It's a story about a small time teacher, turned headmaster, turned dreamer "Obi", as he heads a new school with his equally ambitious wife. He, with new visions of grandeur,  soon forgets the traditon and ancestry of his people, which in turn will strike him later on. It is said he closes a certain "path" that leads into a sacred "burial ground", Obi not heeding the warnings of tradition and merely shrugging it off as baloney, continues the developement of the school, sealing the path, later on dealing with the karma brought upon him by himself when the school is razed and destroyed. This story basically teaches us not to forget our culture, tradtion as it were, because no matter how advance and how so called "modernized" we are it is our past that made us. In my case, growing up in a, shall we say mixed family, my cousins are full or quarter blooded eurasians including myself, it would be quite hard to pinpoint our "tradition", since out tradition just so happens to involve numerous countries. I personally, still "mano po" to my elders on both sides of the family, or I simply bow down to them whenever a family reunion is taking place. This story can perhaps me a great lesson for people and especially for me, I for one would like to marry a Korean girl, Koreans if I can say so myself are very traditional, even if appearance wise they are one of the most modern in the world today, they are essentially "asian", i.e very culture based, so we (I) must learn  how to respect that fact.

Use of Force

MAIN:
The Plot of the story is mainly told from the Doctor's eyes. It basically revolves around how the doctor is struggling to find out the illness or the pain that is being endured by a patient specifically, one Mathilda Olson. The Olsons caring about their daughter, brings Mathilda to the doctor. Mathilda being a stubborn child as she is hiding her illness away from both the family and the doctor. Through the doctor's expertise and wit, he finally uncovers what Mathilda is suffering through and finds out the illness she has kept from her parents for three days.

MY REFLECTION:
In this story it basically shows the typical reactions and stereotypes within families and such. As this story is told from the doctors point of view, it is shown that the doctor is very calm and professional about the problem, going as far as the "usage of force" to find out what is troubling the little girl, hence the title. Mathilda on the other hand is pretty much like most children, afraid of the "direct" consequences, she hides problems from her parents and in this case her illness for fear of getting into more trouble, her parents meanwhile, are still very concerned for her, especially her mother who is shown to be very caring for Mathilda's well fare.
