He concludes his article by warning, “If the Korean Wave continues to surge, reflecting the diplomatic relations that supports a capitalist logic rather than a strengthening of the communicative power of civil society to provide the possibility of diversifying the cultural tastes of the masses, then it will have to put up a hard fight against China’s ethnocentrism and Japan’s malleable nationalism.”

SSPP Reads: Multiple Intelligences - 0 views
-
I'm learning more about the multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how did Howard Gardner come up with the multiple intelligences. I was researching this online, and this blog post caught my attention because it mentioned Howard Gardner and the multiple intelligences. The title also showed a preview of what the article is about. I read the blog post and didn't show what i want, however i did find this quote to be intriguing. "Howard Gardner has questioned the idea that intelligence is a single entity, that it results from a single factor, and that it can be measured simply via IQ tests. . . challenging also the cognitive development work of Piaget. Bringing forward evidence to show that at any one time a child may be at very different stages for example, in number development and spatial/visual maturation, Howard Gardner has successfully undermined the idea that knowledge at any one particular developmental stage hangs together in a structured whole. (infed.org/thinkers)" The quote i chose here is basically saying that Howard Gardner noticed that people learn differently through the study of basic children. I think this is informative because it makes me wonder how he figured this out without using really complex technology.

ScienceDirect - Cognition : Unconscious modulation of the conscious experience of volun... - 0 views
-
In this journal article, freewill and control are being the objects of an experiment. I found this very interesting because it proposes another perspective for looking at voluntary control. It also provides an objective hypothesis attempting to explain freewill physiologically and the underlying mechanics of such a conscious experience. "The conscious experience of free will is a central feature of human self-perception. We usually feel that our conscious intentions cause our actions, which in turn produce desired effects in the world. Although the subjective feeling of control is an essential aspect of our self-conceptualisation as intentional agents, the mechanisms underlying this experience are not well understood (e.g., [Haggard et al., 2002], [Jeannerod, 2003], Lau et al., 2004 H.C. Lau, R.D. Rogers, P. Haggard and R.E. Passingham, Attention to intention, Science 303 (2004), pp. 1208-1210. Full Text via CrossRef | View Record in Scopus | Cited By in Scopus (100)[Lau et al., 2004], [Sebanz and Prinz, 2006] and [Sirigu et al., 2004]). Here, we argue that the conscious feeling of voluntary control is closely tied to our ability to represent future effects of our actions." This segment is the introduction of a long experiment. I found fascinating that what we call control can be just a representation of cognitive anticipation of future events. I am now digesting this article slowly, so for the time being, I am not able to provide a better explanation for I have not yet understood completely where does the conclusion comes from or how was the hypothesis made
