- created some sort of freedom for gays. At the end of the movie, they showed the gay relationships common in the present world. It is sad to see how the director had to supress his feelings back in the days when these things are not supported. It highlights how the forces of history

The movie didn't just talk about love but also freedom which is affected by social political forces, the tension between religion and sexuality. It also shows some sort of regret, missed chances and the pain they endured. The movie also shows how the historical events which is lifting of martial law

I watched the movie "Your Name Engraved Herein". This movie is based on two gays in Taiwan in the 1980's during the martial law. Overall, it's teaches a generation to learn love, even when love is not allowed. The movie shows the hardships of the director he faced in 1980's for being a gay.

But if someone is playing video games, it should not be a addiction. Here is the link of the article:

or alcohol releases 10 times more dopamine or even more than that. A common diagnostic question can be used to help identify addiction, such as “I always use drugs to relax after a bad day.” Well, if it is a drug that’s a worrisome choice, one that presumably indicates addiction.

varies differently for different activities like drugs, alcohol and gaming, it varies a lot. Playing a video game or watching an amusing video on the internet causes roughly about as much dopamine to be released in our brain as eating a slice of pizza. While on the other hand, using a drug-

I believe its all misguidance about the use of video games. Its a normal behavior, while perhaps in many cases can be a waste of time and I believe its not disrupting lives that alcohol and other drugs use can be. If we watch neuroscientific analogy, the amount of dopamine our brain releases-

Today, I will defend the idea that video games are addictive. It is very common to hear from parents that their children are addicted to games. Some of the researches even compared these video games to illegal drugs in term of the influence they put on brain, that they are like "digital heroin".

And I find this movie worth watching because it gave a look into pure Chinese martial arts and how they fight with honor to represent their country.

and its martial arts. They got into a fight and in the end Ip man secured a victory. So the whole movie was show-casing Chinese martial arts, how martial arts can be used in real combat scenario. Both of them fight with honor and want to prove their own country's capabilities in martial arts.

But the sergeant of the military camp consider that adding Chinese martial arts will have no effect in the training because he believed that Chinese martial arts are just bullshit and he can defeat any Chinese martial art master. So, the Ip man fight that sergeant to Represent the image of China-

And he has short time to live. Therefore, he went to America to find a school and find a sponsor to recommend his son in America. The movie shows that in America, there were some Chinese people serving in military who want to Chinese martial art as a part of American military in hand to hand combat.

I watched the final part of Ip man movie. Ip man was a martial arts master who taught famous names like Bruce Lee and many other famous people martial arts. So the movie starts with Ip man looking an international school for his son, probably in America, because he found out he had cancer.

Mostly, Koreans drink coffee to keep up with the work culture so people don't feel lazy at work. I don't have Koreans friends. But I have seen Koreans of my age drinking coffee. Korea accounts for 6% of the Asia-Pacific coffee market.
#Coffee #IcedAmericano #KoreanCoffeeCulture

Koreans have given a short name to Iced-Americano which is (Ah-A). Mostly Koreans just say Ah-A in coffee shops or cafes instead of saying Iced-Americano. And also there is a specific slang for this coffee which is (Eol-Juk-Ah), which simply means "iced coffee even if i freeze to death.

But when I moved to Korea. I have watched people drinking coffee everywhere like their workplace etc. Most of them drink Iced-Americano. So by watching them, I tried Iced-Americano. I didn't like the taste of the coffee. It was like I was drinking some kind of bitter water. But Koreans drinks it.

I looked at the coffee culture of Korea. Usually South Koreans drink 12 cups of coffee per week. Their main city has around 18000 coffee and also Seoul has more Starbucks than any other cities of Korea. Generally, I am not a fan of coffee. I am not addicted to coffee like other Koreans.

And inner worth without relying on any kind off "social mask".

And use of makeup as a form of self-expression or a way to boost their confidence. The story raises awareness about lookism and pressure of Korean beauty standards, many feel it falls short of an empowering message because of the slow development of the character fully embracing her natural self-

Because the main character remain dependent on makeup. she struggles to accept her bare face and the story is often focused on maintaining her disguise rather than self-love. While other may find the story relatable for showing the real-world struggles with insecurity-

But was instantly socially accepted, admired and gained " pretty privilege" once she uses makeup to confront the so-called Korean beauty standards. To answer whether it is empowering is a subject of debate. Some might says that the webtoon is not truly empowering-

And finally after few months, she really started to look outstanding with makeup. Even her classmates were praising her after looking so pretty. The story is heavily driven by lookism. Juyoung faced harsh treatment and social exclusion when she was bare faced.

So, she decided to do makeup. At the starting, the whole class was laughing at her, because her makeup was some kind of old-fashioned and she even got more frustrated and concerned about her beauty. She started to get more and more knowledge about beauty standards on social media-

I read the webtoon name "True Beauty". It was about a teenage girl in her high school.The webtoon showed the girl named Juyoung kind of ugly than their classmates. Her classmates bully her for her appearance. even her own family said her ugly, her mother saying her brother being the most beautiful.

Anime Tourist And Gatekeeping Tourist. It’s always a sensitive subject when border control is involved. Do they come with a passport? Wait… not that kind of tourist?

We can see that both of them are saying to each other what they can or can not watch, which is a big contradiction. Here is te link of the article: seinenrider.wordpress.com/2024/09/04/a...

Like a tourist might says that anime is bad because its kinda bad and don't have a particular motive. While on the other hand, a gatekeeper defend it saying they lack knowledge. they use these kind of labels to push each others away but at the end of the day, they are all acting the same way.

The article uses the term of "Anime tourist", the people who recently watched anime and are not deeply enriched in the fandom. The article mentions that the argument between the tourist and gatekeepers is pretty funny. both are doing the same thing.
