This week’s reading was great. The Weight of the World by Pierre Bourdieu was written and put together well. This book was much refreshing compared to the other two. I really enjoyed reading this book and might finish reading the rest of it. Ok, now on to the synthesis. I would say that each story/interview or write up by the various authors was dynamic. I felt that I was right there with

Inventing Popular Culture by John Storey was an insightful book. There were a few things that I read that were intriguing to me. The first came from the first chapter, which talked about folk culture. Folk culture came about because American intellectuals too interest in the middle class person and wanted or “demanded” stories and songs from them (Storey 2003:1). Folk culture was more of the

This week’s reading in Global Transformations was bringing out a weakness of mine. When it comes to economics, finance, production, corporations, etc. I get totally lost. I felt like I was wading in a pool of thick mud trying to make sense of this chapter on “Corporate Power and Global Production Networks”. Try as I did there was one section of this chapter that I could make sense from and

Now I am not into financing and trading, but I am not ignorant to the fact that it exists and plays a huge factor in globalization. However reading the chapters on trading and financial globalization it interesting to see how historical this issue has developed. It started with the Pre-Industrial Revolution, moved to the Classical Gold Standard, to the Bretton Woods period, and to Contemporary

This week our class had to read chapters one and one from the book Global Transformations:Politics, Economics and Culture by David Held, Anthony G. McGrew, David Goldblatt, Jonathan Perraton. Chapter one was called “The territorial State and Global Politics”. At first I thought how boring, but this chapter opened up some cool issues in regards to how territorial states form and even how global

I mentioned in my resource blog that this will be the last week for our internet research on resources for our sub $100 laptop. I thought what should I research. What would help enhance this laptop to developing countries? I realized that software is needed to run and even operate such a piece of technology. In developing countries, even here at Fuller many of us cannot afford to purchase

Since this is our last time that we will use the internet to find resources on technology. I thought I would leave you with some things that everyone can walk away for “free” and I mean “free”. Below are resources on free software that you can either download or get on a cd. You can make as many copies as you want and put them on as many computers as you want. You will not be busted for

I actually had the wonderful opportunity to get sneak peek of the Jesus and the Jewish Experience. Dr. Glaser came and shared in another class I had on Wednesday. Anyway, back to the kick-off on Thursday. Dr. Glaser spoke again showed us a PowerPoint presentation on some stats about where are all the Jews presently reside. I knew that there were more Jewish people in the USA than in Israel,

Week 4 Synthesis I want to piggy back on my synthesis from last week about software or programs that can enhance the sub-$100 laptop. Our TA C. Wess Daniels stole my thunder on Podcasting since he went over it in class. This was my next research topic for this week and so I will continue on with it but with a different twist. I was doing more research on the actual Podcasts even though I

1. The link I gave earlier on podcasting comes from Cnet.com The class site where our TA talked about Podcasting This is another good resource on what Podcasting is. I might as well use this wiki technology to just enhance our wiki. 4. This is another site on how to do Podcasting from Engadget. This is a Podcast that teaches you how to speak Chinese Episode

This week as I was thinking about the blog I posted on the sub-$100 laptop last week. I was thinking with that technology which would be available in few years what software or programs would be good for it. What could transform or influence the powers around us or push them back to induce transformation? I looked back at one of the features that this laptop would have and it would have

1. This is the main website for Skype which is a truly free VOIP. I have tested Skype with other services like AIM and Yahoo and have found this one to be the best. Last week I was able to talk to my team leader who was in the Philippines and we were able to talk over the internet. The communication was clearer than a landline telephone or cellphone. Check it out and download Skype if

As I think about the possibility that there maybe a chance that every child whether rich or poor, in an urban or rural setting, and in a different country living with or without electricity will have the opportunity to have a portable, foldable, rechargeable, Wi-Fi enabled computer in the next few years from now. My head is spinning with the amount of possibilities. What was so expensive and

Here are some resources of what technology is and some upcoming technologies. Hopefully this will help us think of how technology will affect cultures, societies, individuals, churches, missionaries, and Jesus-Followers.1.

Imagine going into a rural village up in the mountains in the Philippines. As you walk around the village, you see a group of children huddling around something or someone. You continue to approach this group of children; you can hear their excitement as they look at whatever is in the middle of that group. You come up behind these children expecting the usual game of spider fighting (this a game

Some things about me:I'm an ABC (American Born Chinese) and grew up in a Christian home. I became a believer at the age of five and at the age of ten I committed my life to the Lord to go into full time ministry or to be a missionary in another part of the world. I have served in the Philippines in Davao City working among Muslim Urban Poor communities. The team that I am currently with is called
