FB舊note(5) -- 喇沙新政策: “限制吃飯地點”

Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 8:38pm | Edit Note | Delete
今日校長公布新政策, 每班都收到一張通告, 部分內容如下:

Designated eating places
TWO specific areas have been assigned to students to have lunches in the campus:
- Canteen on LG1
- Covered playground (beside the swimming pool) on G/F

1. Students should not have lunches in any places other than the 2 designated areas in the campus.
2. Return the plates, cups and utensils after use to the canteen.

簡單的說, 學校在限制學生吃飯地點.

經過今天的試驗, 同學發現以上政策有以下弊處:

1. 以上2個指定地點明顯地方不足, 很多同學需要站起吃飯
2. Covered Playground 的進食環境陰暗, 遠不及garden或first aid room旁舒適.

有何意見請分享.

FB舊note(3) -- 絕望了! 我對對動漫心存偏見的世界絕望了! -- "漫畫 弱化的思想?" from中時晚報

中時晚報 桑品載

台北國際書展出現漫畫書獨沽一味的現象,令人洩氣。喜歡漫畫書的若為國中、小生倒還罷了,偏偏瘋狂排隊以圖求得漫畫書作者簽個名字的有不少是大學生。當電
視、電腦大量占據了人們的閱讀空間後,在市場中與文字處於並行銷售地位的漫畫書如此風騷,充分說明文字之厄運真是背到了家!


這不是菲薄漫畫書,但從坊間出現的漫畫書來看,它了不起只是速食文化的一種罷了,像小製作的肥皂劇,狼吞虎嚥般追求其情節後,什麼也沒有留下。過去漫畫書
稱為「小人書」,表示漫畫所表達的只是一個簡單的邏輯,僅適合兒童閱讀;現在的漫畫書雖然多樣多面,但仍不脫一些簡單的邏輯,正需要接受思想訓練的青年卻
沉醉在這個簡單的邏輯裡,不只說明這些人的懶惰,也說明這些人之幼稚一如兒童。


包括文學在內的一切偉大著作,無不依賴文字,文字能深刻、細膩地傳達和表達人們所已知或未知的事物與感情,歌德曾認為豐富的人生,就是每天讀一首詩,因為
透過讀詩,才能感受到文字予人的痛快淋漓。中國文字歷數千年錘鍊,使其不只是一種溝通的工具,更自成為一種文化。一個捨棄閱讀文字的人,不論他有多高成
就,也只是技能上的,不是思想上的;心靈貧乏的人生,絕不是個完美的人生!


尤其令人憂心的是,長期滿足在漫畫式趣味裡的人,將對問題的看法簡單化、神話化。
大學生的程度越來越低,低到和國中、小生搶讀漫畫書,這不只是文字的厄運,恐怕還是思想弱化的徵兆。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

無可否認, 對大部份人來說, 動漫是一小撮怪胎們(我自認是怪胎)的惡趣味. 然而, 大概上文的作者也沒對動漫, 對傳統文學作深入理解就妄下判斷, 實在令人失望. 以下是從某著名論壇輯錄的:



'''

先說作者對漫畫的不理解

單說故事文學, 可以用來表達的媒體有很多. 文字(小說), 文字 + 真人演出(舞台劇, 戲曲), 聲音(廣播劇), 文字 + 實物影像(電影), 文字 + 圖像(漫畫), 文字 + 圖畫影像 + 聲音(動畫), etc. 其實漫畫只不過是用來傳達的媒體不同罷了, 媒體只是媒體, 媒體之間沒有高深低俗與手法高手法低之分


再說作者對傳統文學的理解不全面

傳統文學的質素其實非常不一, 但被傳誦的就只有好作品, 不去研究的讀者就只會看到好作品, 而會忽略了一些差的作品(confirmation bias). 其實傳統文學中低B低俗之作多的是, 就算是蘇軾也有不少低俗應酬之作, 但只看選集而不看全集的人又如何可得知這類作品的存在? 所以, 作品好壞, 不在於媒體

至於為何傳統文學都是文字, 那是因為文字最易於流傳, 尤其是印刷技術不足(指圖像印刷)的古代. 想想戲曲, 現在看到的就只有劇本, 我們可以知道那時演員的細緻演技嗎?

甚至, 不少文體/媒體, 如詞曲小說, 也不是一開始就入流的. 當然, 那些文體/媒體柀認同是與文人的介入有關的, 但這又說明了, 作品好壞, 不在於媒體, 有高手肯在那媒體上創作, 那媒體自然會有好作品產生; 但我們不能阻止低手創作的自由, 自然, 也同時會有差的作品

我們現在看莎士比亞的劇作,不論舞台演出還是劇本,或是金庸、梁羽生等的武俠小說,都會被人說「有文化」,但是又有多少人知道,那些作品在面世當日,是被當時的「文化人」大罵「低俗」呢?只是由於它們是高手創作,加上極之流行,兩者結合,才使它們能面對時間之洪流而流傳至今?

九流十家就是在說那時小說家不入流

詩不是經孔子編輯和詮釋的話那來受到注目; 不是成為過科舉考試文體的話那來那麼多高手創作 (很多人忽視了, 從前是以文取士的; 想想, 如果現在考評局用回科舉的範圍形式的話, 香港人的中文水準那會低?)

詞嘛, 不就是由歌女處流行起來的嗎? 像柳永更是以俗聞名

還有, 看王實甫西廂記時, 我學會了 "頹" 是一個粗口, 意思是馬的OO....


'''


表達手法本無好壞, 何以無端生事, 罵動漫呢?

動漫之中, 言之有物, 發人深省, 感動人心之作比比皆是; 質量之佳, 不下傳統名著, 粗製濫造的肥皂劇是無法與之相比的.

然而, 接受那些無聊的肥皂劇, 名家的失敗作, 扭曲的社會, 卻唾棄一大批優質的動漫, 是說不過去的.

FB舊post(3) -- I suggest therefore I am (2)

Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 8:34pm | Edit Note | Delete
This is the second part of my suggestions.

In my last essay, I suggested ways for former J party members to improve our SA. This time would like to suggest some ways for former P party members to establish better communication with students.

The theme of this essay would base on the word "listening". Listening is different from hearing. Hearing is to detect sound waves passively while listening is to process the stimuli and give suitable responses.

The suggestions below mainly focus on the short term actions that the newly formed SA could consider.

1) Organise a gathering for all active members who contributed for election

The main purpose of this gathering is to listen and provide a start for future cooperation. This would be a gathering in which the supporters of the two former cabinets can share their ideas. It would be open to all. We may bring out problems that happened during the election period and find solutions to solve them so that it can benefit the future elections. Also, we could share our feelings towards school issues and plans.

2) Proactively listen to active students

Active is not enough. To strive for a better SA, proactive listening would be a first step to achieve our goals. So what is proactive listening? It is actually just a little bit more than listening. That is to ask questions to everyone. Find someone that oppose you before and ask for feelings towards different policies. Asking questions may seem hard and it would seem odd to talk to someone you don't know. We may start from finding someone to introduce a friend to us.

I truly hope that my suggestions would be useful. Please do give some comments after reading.

FB舊note(2) -- 覆述Jenny Wen在5C的師生對話 -- Jenny對election的看法

Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 3:05pm | Edit Note | Delete
9月23日, 星期二, Jenny Wen在5C的一段對話節錄:

同學alpha:
"某cabinet在eleciton期間被要求要他們更改CCB chairman候選人. 兩個cabinet早就提交了cabinet member的名單, 為什麼steering一直沒有發覺而要在election期間才要求換人呢?"

Jenny:
"The steering has lots of work to do. We don't have much time to examine every part of the CV of the cabinet members. Also, it is the responsibility for the cabinets to read the rules. The steering committee made every decision according to the rules. We could have DQ Jason's cabinet. But we all want an election so we just told them to change one of their members. This is the best result for both cabinets. (轉channel) 還有, Jason 他們在選舉後更沒有表現風度. 他們對Percy提出over-budget問題. 給他們合理解釋, 還要繼續追究. 他們有沒有想過, Percy也可以不斷質疑CCB的問題, 令Jason連election都無得玩."

以上為對話中的一部分, 如要任何補充, 歡迎提出.

FB舊note(1) -- I suggest therefore I am

I have learnt a lot through this election for I had put a lot of my effort in it.
At the very beginning, I supported Percy. No matter in which criteria (experience, ability and acedemic results), Percy seemed to have won since the beginning. However, during the election promotion period, various incidents changed my mind. The was when I lost my trust towards Percy. I turned towards Jason and found that he really deserves his popularity. I then helped Jason during the appeal period. Now, the election has ended and I finally had time to think about what I have done. Now, I think, Percy and Jason are equally good, both of them deserve to become the president. Some of you may think that I am a traitor. Some of you would say I betrayed Percy. I would not deny this. I really changed my stance during the election. Now, after the election, I would like to apologize for what I had done wrong during the election. I hope every one of you would understand.

What I really want to say to all former P group and former J group is, all groups are combinded now, there is only the LSCSA group now. If you have any bad feelings towards the new SA, get into it and change it. Everyone has their own definition of justice so use contructive methods to fight for your justice. I hereby would like to suggest some ways for those who dislike the new cabinet to seek change:

1) Get into the SA

Bear in mind that who you hate is not who you will serve. If you get into SA, you are not serving for the committees, you are serving our fellow Lasallians. Since you have the passion to oppose a cabinet, I believe if you can make good use of your passion, all Lasallians will remember your name and your form of justice.

2) Make lots of suggestions

Every cabinet wants Lasalle to become better. None of them would like to see Lasalle fall. Therefore, they would always be willing to hear ideas. The clever is never always correct, the stupid is never always wrong. No matter what is you opinion, please speak out loud, tell the SA what you want, tell the SA what students need.

3) Support the leader

You may have hated the chairman of different boards. You can keep this hatred and support the leader. This may seem ridiculous. Try it first, it is actually very easy, at least I tried it before. I worked for someone who I hated few years ago. I kept saying I hate this person but as I get to know the person more, I could understand him. I changed my mind then, although he may still seem hard to communicate. Try it, it will give you unexpected results.

The above is just what I think, so please, if you dislike this passage, please tell me.
Thank you for sharing my ideas. I hope it will give you some ideas to solve your problems.

(Finally, a word to Claudio. Thank you for letting me help.)
