Question 1:
The film discussed how homosexuals were portrayed in film because they are arguing that showing homosexuals in a certain way makes people think they are really like that. If every gay person you ever see is in a movie and they are all mentally ill or crazy, you may think this is an accurate depiction of how gay people really are. This is how stereotypes are formed.
Do you think there are any stereotypes that are common in American film or television in how Chinese people are portrayed? You can consider both positive and negative stereotypes.
Answer:How Chinese people are portrayed in American film or television. In general, foreigner think Chinese people to be equal to China people. They can't recognize Taiwan and China people. Therefore, foreigner described Chinese people always wear cheongsam and has a small eyes. And Chinese people spoke in Beijing or Shanghai. Importantly, most of foreigner films always like to make a caricature of Chinese people in culture.
What was the Bauhaus? It was not an artistic movement or a modern style. The Bauhaus was a school that opened in Germany in 1919, and in the fourteen years of its existence it provided the basis for a new profession: industrial design. An industrial designer has to master and apple art and technology in equal measures. So, the Bauhaus created a teaching program that brought the workshop into the school, thereby creating the model for most of today's design schools all over the world.

Do you still remember the Qian Shou Guan Yin( Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvar) show that was performed at the Spring Festival Party by China Disabled People’s Arts Troupe, a group who has performed in more than 60 countries throughout the world? It was a marvelous program that had overwhelmed the whole audiences. The performance is on show in Chengdu now.
I admire China training for Olypmia. Those dancers are deaf-mute and hard of hearing. They practiced and practiced every day. To force remember hand position by the body memory. Their performance very ordered and hand's gesture gracefully. Their spirit are worth learing to us.

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken 
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Answer:
“The Road Not Taken” is explants Robert Frost's had to choose in the life road. But he was afraid of choosing result. The road that forks into two different directions always presents a choice to be made, in life as well as in poetry. Robert is not pleased about having to make this choice and says that he would like to travel both roads.Therefore, he image the result help himself to choose life direction. I think everyone has to face many chooses in the future. People also always doubt which road is right and image consequences.
Robert Frost - Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Answer:
(1)Because of public and international pressure, a new tougher animal cruelty law was passed in 2007. What is your response to this law? Is the penalty sufficient, too strict, or too lenient? Do you think this law is enforced or is it just for show? (in other words, how often do police investigate animal cruelty crimes?). Do you have any specific suggestions for how the system could be improved? http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2007/12/15/2003392585
(2)Visit “Animals Taiwan”. Take a look around the website. What is the purpose of this group? What sorts of things do they do? Look around and read (in English) a bit. Don't forget to read “recent posts". http://www.animalstaiwan.org/index.php?mnid=36
Answer:
"Animals Taiwan" is a group of people, both expatriate and local, concerned about the welfare of animals in Taiwan, in particular that of the stray population. We work to raise awareness of the stray problem and education people about the responsibilities of pet ownership.
In the mid-1950s, coinciding with the resurgence of German industry, the design world developed a formal language dominated by the watchwords: practical, economical and rational. This quickly spread throughout Europe and became the official doctrine for decades to come.
"Forms follows Function" was the order of the day. The designer's job was to analyze an object in order to eliminate any superfluous features and so attain the maximum degree of functionality.
The idea was to make the product as useful as possible by achieving an optimal performance and ensuring absolute clarity for the user. Ergonomic questions were down to the very last detail.
Braun, the manufacturer of small, domestic electrical apparatuses associated with the Design College of Ulm, be came the standard bearer for this new functionalism.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan is expected this year to become the first country in Asia to legalize some form of gay marriage.
In Taiwan ,not much ado over gays saying 'I do'
This article suggests that gays and lesbians in Taiwan are generally afraid to “come out” to their family. The article goes on to suggest that most families operate under a“don't-ask, don't-tell”policy. In other words, most families just don't want to know if they have a gay son, daughter, brother, sister, and so on. In your opinion, do you think this is correct? This article is from 2004. Do you think the situation is any different now?
Answer:
Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Milk was born and raised in New York where he acknowledged his homosexuality as an adolescent, but chose to pursue sexual relationships with secrecy and discretion well into his adult years. His experience in the counterculture of the 1960s caused him to shed many of his conservative views about individual freedom and the expression of sexuality.
