Much more than crafting Ice Cream.
Imperialism still sucks… and Zakuro still hates imperialism as much she hates milk. Heck, even the spirits hates imperialism… and I agree. Nobody should go into someones country because it will always end badly most of the time. The Vietnam and Iraq Wars are the prime examples why imperialism does not work.
As for the show, I am still enjoying it…
After 4 recent suicides linked to bullying, people are suddenly becoming aware of bullying and cyber bullying, Bulling is a very destructive act that can ruin someone’s self-esteem. It could ultimately leave the victim to depression or even suicide. I know how it feels since I have been bullied as a result of my nationality and the school administration does absolutely nothing in stopping the bullies. I’m not alone… Parents also experience this because the officials won’t do anything to stop it and leave them pretty hopeless.
With Technology becoming easier for people to communicate through the internet. At the same time, it could become a weapon since the nternet makes it easier to bully people online anonymously. This makes cyberbullying 10x more hurtful than regular bullying since you can’t tell whose doing it. Cyberbullying can range from insulting people online, spreading false rumors for intentions of hurting a person or sending of threatening emails and messages. Trolling or flaming messages towards a person is also considered cyberbullying depending on the content.
How do I respond to these messages? Just ignore and block them. If you ignore them, they most likely to give up and stop. Responding to them is a very bad idea since they know you will react and push your buttons even more.
What if it’s a person in your school thats cyberbullying you? First, take note of the email message and the number. Second, tell your parents and law enforcement officials so they investigate on the issue and don’t give up.
Just recently, the US Government is now taking notice of the bullying trend and having a summit on the bullying issue to come up with a plan to stop it. Even some states are pushing out tougher laws against bullying and cyberbullying. I think it’s a good thing they are finally doing something about it. Hopefully, it will lead in tougher anti-bullying and anti-cyberbullying laws and allow for education for bullying awareness since no person should ever have to deal with bullying and feel bad about him/herself. People should be able live a life free from worries without having to be stressed over who is going to pick on him/her next.
I think Miyazaki is right in this case… Technology even with its advantage has unleashed the pandora’s box that can never be closed.
Just recently, Author aka Pete Zaitcev of Ani-Nouto have posted a good number of blogs that died in July… and the number of blogs that died troubled me since typically, anime blogs have a trend of fading away with a good number of blogs staying alive for a long period of time.
Come to think of it, many of the blogs on Notcliche faded away, besides myself, Notcliche and Sun Shattered Glass, most of the Anime related blogs are pretty much inactive with Randotaku adding to the list of inactive blogs on the network. Its pretty tragic to see blogs fade away like that… but then again, theres always new Anime Blogs that takes it place, so I don’t see a problem… the circle of life in the AniBlogosphere, the strongest will have the less likelihood of fading away.
Also, congrats to Major Arcana for another year of good blogging (they turn 4 and 1 respectively). Let’s hope the AniBlogosphere have a bright future.
