final post

To Jim and Jason,

there was an example Jim made previously in this class that made me think a lot. it was during the debate about the good person of Szechwan when we were talking about what defines a good person, while we were all debating, you gave an example of the Target CEO making a huge amount of money annualy and he donated certain amount of his income to charity, therefore he is a good person. however later in class, someone argue back that if he wans't able to help EVERY poor people in the world then he is a bad person. Jason also made a good argument about being a good person also requires "ability", he said that it's impossible to help every beggar you see in this world since you might ran out of money if you do so. which makes me doubt that if there's a real definition about good person.
thinking about the definition of a good person also makes me think that what defines a bad person, because i think people do something bad for a purpose, what if their purpose is to help someone in need? for example i was talking about the very same issue in blog 8, i gave an example about the Sandman in the movie The Spiderman 3 in case you haven't watched that movie, part of the story was about a guy robbed money from the bank and everyone judge that he's a bad person. but in fact his action was because he needed money to save his daughter who has a serious illness and couldn't afford the doctor's fee.

To Jim, you always make some really good points in class and also you know how to appreciate others opinion. i also feel like you are a good leader, throughout the semester i had couple chance to see you leading others while we were having some group activities. I'm a person who is totally oposite of you, therefore i feel like i have a lot to learn from you if someone would want to become a good leader.

To Jason, i think you are a person who also makes very good points during classes and also you are a great close reader and you notice something that others can't notice. for example, during the last class when we were looking at the picture of "heaven, earth and hell" you discover so many things that i would have never notice. like how mother Mary was presented in the picture.
i would like to thank you for teaching me and giving me so much to learn.
