Let’s have cybersex!!!!! Just for fun….XD







Hey....are you sleeping seperate with your partner ..is it the same situation .........may be you can have cybersex to fufill your needs and wants...=]



Recently, there are a lot of people talking about cybersex. Have you heard cybersex before? If yes, which adjective you are going to use? Horrible? Cool? Disgusting? Embarrassing? Or Hyper? Do you know that man have cybersex more than women that is because female feel embarrassed. But why……why we have to feel embarrassed and why people need to against cybersex.
There are two different voices exist in the society. There are a lot of people said that cybersex is a kind of crack cocaine, it will lead to addiction afterward have a more difficult time recovering from their addiction because the pornographic images stay in your brain forever and pornographic affect the children’s mind. On the other hand, some people think that just for fun and we can separate the virtual life and real life because we are adult.
In my point of view, Parents should not think that pornographic will affect their children in contrast you should make use of this opportunities to educate your child. Let them know that what is sex and how to have sex safety. For example, second life can be a tool for the parent to teach the children proper sex attitude. As we know that internet is accessible, we can go online everywhere and every time. Also nowadays children learn how to use the internet in the earlier stage. Therefore, even you try to avoid the children from those informations, they can find it by themselves easily. So why you still so conservative mind, it’s time for you to lead your children to discuss about sex and you can know more about your children what are they thinking and minimize generation gap problem. See, how useful of the pornographic.
Sex is a human need. We will not public discussion but it doesn't mean that it does not exist. Our community is becoming more and more open minded, we can think out of the box should not always follow the old path. Female should try to enjoy our life , should not constraint by the view of the public. IT IS NOT SHAME, we can separate the virtual life and the real life. Virtual life is unreal that is a space for you to express your feeling and release your stress. If we have to scare too much, your life will become hard. You should know that those kind of pornographic and the cybersex help a lot of people to cure their psycho problem and help the male to build confidence.
Every thing has both sides. If we can think in a positive way, everything will be changed. May be some people think that pornographic, cybersex is toxic but the truth is they can help people in different way. We should not avoid the society problem, we have to learn how to accept it and let it becomes a tool used in our daily life.

Second life is fictitious




What do I think about the Second life at first? It is a space for the people who are not satisfy their community therefore they need to find a space belong to them. They don’t think that is a game, this is their new life. I haven’t played online game before such as The Sim, Second life and so on. I don’t know how exciting, interesting of the game. However, I only know that playing those games is really wasting my time and escaping the reality.





However, after I read the book and the article about the avatar which is controlled by the user. Afterwards I have another perspective in looking into the matter. In Second life, user can help their avatar to choose how they look like, the shape of the body, the hair style, the colour of the eye and the dressing style which looks like same as you. They can run a business, make friends, find a partner, get marry, have sex and communicate through the voice chat capabilities and text the message in the Second life. It makes me confused. I am not sure that is a game or a community but through the internet and media.





Meadows (2008:51) argues that experiences create a grounding of belief. “People in virtual worlds build things, use them, sell them, trade them and discuss them. When another person confirms what I am seeing, places value on it, spends time working to pay for it, buys it, keeps it, uses it, talks about it, gets emotional about it, and then sells it – this tells me there is something real happening. The suspension of disbelief has become a grounding of belief”





In regard to Meadows argues the suspension of disbelief has become a grounding of belief. The user have to pay the US dollars to exchange the Linden dollars ($5US can exchange over 1000 Linden dollars) then they can buy the stuffs in the store such as book which is published in our real life and they can send the content via your real-life email or in the game and the shop owner and author will receive the real dollars from you. Besides, people will get marry and hold a wedding party, dance during the party. All the things is controlled by themselves. Sometimes, they will hold an event or activities in some places in the Second life, they are using the inbox message to invite people to come and it is really successful. Moreover, identity and culture is a country or community symptoms. In the second life, people also have their own culture and identity, they will type “Tal” to replace shake hands, use the animation such as hug and so on. They will group together become a small community in the Second life. We can see that Second life is a kind of country and the user is their citizen. It makes second life and real life is overlapped.





However, I think that kind of game the purpose is not trying to replace our real life, they just want to providing a space for young people to practise and prepare step into the society after they graduate and a space for the people to extent their network because sometimes we will feel really stressful in our real life. Second life can help you to make more friends and share your feeling not that much responsibility you have to take. Also, they offer the community, goals, commerce let the player understand what they need in their real life.

Overseas student go home?






In this morning, I have read a newspaper is talking about the immigration office is going to cut down the number of immigrant. Since 2008-2009, there are 93500 peoples crowed into Melbourne. They afraid other culture is going to dominate their culture. That’s truth, every country should be protect and retain their features. It makes me much more understanding why there is some hate groups always fight for racial purity.


Let’s me write some information about Hate Group and Extremism which I learned in the lecture. “Extremism is characterized by dogmatic intolerance, expressed mildly or violently and inclines toward an inflexible obedience to an accepted authority, shaped by a common ideology or sense of group unity. (Gardner, 1997).”Hate group aims to fight for Racial Purity, Anti-Semitism, Anti-Liberal, and Anti-Government and so on. Nowadays there are a lot of hates group around the world. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, they counted 932 active hates group in USA in 2009, they have their belief and practices to attack the people. Hate group activities can include criminal acts, marches, rallies, speeches, meetings, leafleting or publishing.( Southern Poverty Law Center ).



How can I define it is a hate group? The first time when I have a look of their website, I thought that it is a space for the Australian people group together especially the patriot. However, it is not. They are post a lot of article or ideas support the white Australia policy. They against the Asia, Africa countries arrive here. And they are using the website to notice their member of their event. “Overseas student go home” this sentence comes from the Australia First Party. They have published an article, the topic is oversea student go back which is under their website. Even that article hasn’t posted it but the topic is really attracted me. When I have a look of their other article such as Australia First Party to Oppose 'Islamic School' On Gold Coast, Overseas student go home and so on. They have put all the information in its website to transmit message and recruit new members. They put their rules and requirement of the organization in the website. (Through the rules of 3.1-3.7, you can know that their aim of the organization). Not only the rules and requirement also the movement of the organization, their activities, leaflet, their contact method, the profile of the group leader, publication, their future plan etc you can find it out in the website. One important thing is that since they are all-round organizations, they will include some external links in their website in order to strengthen themselves. When you have a look of the hate group thoroughly, you can find that they have a lot of common points in their website.

Although I know the purpose of the hate group (some of them just wanted to protect their country), I still can not understand why they have to use the extremist way to solve the problem. I believe that there are a lot of methods to express their view without violence. For example, blogging, facebook, culture jamming can also express their unsatisfactory. Fortunately, there are some organization is going to against the hate group. For example, The Southern Poverty Law Center educates the children to reject hate, embrace diversity and respect differences,tack and destory the network of the hate group.

Here are a video which is recorded from the CNN about the hate group!!
