Dear Students... welcome to this summer edition of ERS. In this term, we are wide open in the types of themes and ideas that we can explore. We will read about Aung San Suu Kyi, the Democracy leader from Burma. We will read about Dave Brubeck, the jazz music legend who sadly passed away this past year. We will look at an essay about women moving up and demanding higher salaries. We will also look at an essay about the dangers of Yoga... you can see that our topics are wide in range, which may help you to find something that you haven't thought about before and would like to think about more.
Also, you all come from a wide range of majors and study interests. In this first journal blog, I would like you to explain your major, why you chose this major, and what you hope to get from it. This will help me to know your interests and work to relate what we do in class to your own studies.
I'm looking forward to the term. Make sure that you include you ID# in your blog post. Aj. M
Hi, my name is Thanakrit and I am studying for a bachelor’s degree in Information systems from Mahidol University. The reason I chose Information systems as my major is because I am interested in transformation of communication technology. I believe that this major will provide me compulsory skills in order to manage modern technology effectively in big corporations and industries. To clarify, Information system major will help me to gain comprehensive understanding over programming, networking, software and hardware applications. This major also provides careers in both national and multi-national companies which will enable me to secure a position I always want it, IT and database specialist. Therefore, I think it is best for me to enroll in this major.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am working towards a degree in film production at MUIC. Since I was a child, I always have a keen interest in movies and other media productions. Furthermore, I have been quite fascinated with cameras and script writing since my high school days. As it can be seen, my interest in films has grown strongly and thus I am majoring in film production. I believe that this field will offer me with variety of production techniques and skills so that I can have a bright future career in entertainment media industries. After all, I just want to have my knowledge deepen on a subject that I love and enjoy.

Hopefully this course can contribute to your ability to write your vision clearly that can be applied to media production. These media projects always start in the writing room.
DeleteHi, I'm Safe [ID: 5680058 ]. My Major at MUIC is Entertainment Media: Animation Production. The reason I chose this major is mainly because it had always been my dream, to be able to produce something; something which would entertain people or to be able to communicate the appreciation and the passion I have for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would think that there's the also film production major. However. I do want to create everything from scratch including: characters and scenery which I can't do that with human. Thus, limiting myself to just how much human are only capable of.
What I hope to get from this isn't exactly the bright future, never really seem to take it that way anyway. So, this is merely just for my satisfactory. The happiness of just doing what I want to do.
I believe you have to start with your interests. If you love what you do, you will find success in it. Thanks for this.
DeleteThe major that I chose to study at MUIC is International Business. I desired to study this major because my ambition is to be a proprietor of a business. I believe that to make a business become really successful, the business should not only be domestic but it should go worldwide. Moreover, International Business will become more important when ASEAN comes, as there will be more trade between countries. Consequently, I hope this major will knowledge me how to make a good International Business.

A part of being an entrepreneur is not just motivating yourself but others as well. How you communicate and use words will affect those who listen to you. We can work on this.

DeleteCurrently,my major is marketing. However, I decide to change to IB. This is because in my opinion, i may not go well with marketing because I do not like to do presentation as much and I am a quiet person too. In addition,if i study for a wide area of business thing,it will be suitable to myself more than I learn deeply about marketing.I believe what I will get from IB is the best way to improve my business knowledege skills. I had learnt business studies when I was Year10-11(Grade9-10)before. Furthermore, I can use my muti- business skills to run my family business and adapt or adjust to make it grows bigger.

Ok... you are thoughtful about this, which makes me believe that you can be an effective writer as well. I appreciate your comments here.
DeleteHi, I am Art. My major at MUIC is Tourism and Hospitality Management, but I am going to change my major to Social Science. Social Science major is easier to adapt when ASEAN operated. Furthermore, Social Science provides practical knowledge that be able to communicate with international. Eventually, I expect that Social Science will teach me about international relationships, international laws, and world histories. I believe that Social Science is the best choice for me, and it will lead successful to my career's life.
ReplyDeleteID : 5680125
This is great. Social science is wide enough to include issues that affect tourism as well, so you made an appropriate change. We can work to find an idea that interests you in Social Science to explore further in this class.

You have big ambitions. Its a great way to start. We can start to think about how people are affected by marketing and what power it has over possible customers. This may be an idea for writing.
DeleteThe major that I chose is marketing because so far, the world market has become wide open and most of businesses want to have marketers for developing their product, increasing selling rate, and contract with other kinds of business. Furthermore, I personally like to communicate with others, and I think, I have ideas that I can adapt to this major. I hope I can get the most effective lesson from here and I thing I can have a huge improvement in many direction till I can reach my goal
ReplyDeleteID:5680121
The world is ever smaller, so the customer base is ever wider. Maybe in there is a topic for writing about as we continue this term.
DeleteThe major I chose in MUIC is finance. Since I was young, I always feel enthusiastic towards mathematics. The reason I chose finance as my careers because all businesses deal with finance. Finance careers are growing, this means that the variety of careers opportunities are growing as well. In additional, wide range of job opportunities are provided. Thus, I think that this major will give me better prospect.

Well you and I are quite different in the sense that I have always been (and continue to be) useless at math. Maybe your love of numbers can combine with my love of words to create something interesting this term.

Japan is certainly an interesting and precise country. There is something intriguing about their ability to be both traditional and modern at the same time.
DeleteMy name is pom. Currently, I am studying at MUIC and the major that I choose is Animation Production. Kan kluy, a thai animation film has inspired me to become a animation creator. Therefore, international college animation production or ICAP major can teach me to illustrate and create the things which I have dreamed about. 5680118
ReplyDeleteKan Kluy was one of the first Thai films I ever saw, and I also loved it. I can understand how that inspired young animators like yourself. While illustration and creation is important, writing is where it often starts... maybe I can help you with that part.
DeleteThe major that I decided to study in the college is Marketing. Nowadays marketing is an important part of every business in the world. Every single business needs marketing. I hope that I will work at some of the greatest marketing company of the world. ID 5680140
ReplyDeleteOk... we will need to narrow your focus. Marketing is indeed important. I wonder what some of the most unique and effective marketing strategies there are that we see around us. Maybe we can write about it.
