Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

Kaem: Hi, Jane over here!

Jane: Hey , so sorry they was a protest in front house thats it take me so long to arrive here.

Kaem: its ok, by the way what do you want to do today...

Jane: hmmmm, let's go shopping

Kaem: yea, that is a good idea. where u wanna start?

Jane: Let's go and look at Siam Paragon.

Jane: Oh, look at that girl, she look amazing with her choky pink top,....  What do you think about fashion nowsdays? Are fashion trends harmful to our society or not?

Kaem: Yes, Ithink fashion is harmful to society, its sometimes bad for people because if you try to be fashionable you have to spend lots of money. 

Jane: When we think of fashion or at least the modern fashion, the first thought that comes to our minds is a completely act of showing-off! And it is a waste lots of money. Well....but I think Fashion is much more than that. Fashion can be easily depicted as a mirror. Just as your expressions, reactions and reflect your personality, fashion and the way you carry out yourself speak volumes about who you really are. It is a medium through which you show the outside world the real "you". Its a platform for you to express the difference in you. What would have been the world looking like if everyone adopted the same fashion? That is the whole point.  when you' re different  your fashion also different. Because everyone is UNIQUE and Your fashion remains YOURs

Kaem: yeah, it can be but sometimes it is not suitable, for example about school uniform some student wants to be unique. They want to wear tank top to school, which is not appropriate and cause sexually attraction, and I prefer uniform because it makes everyone equal. Some student that cannot afford fashionable clothes will not be noticed at school because everyone wears the same uniform.

Jane: Yes, I do agree with you it is good to wear school uniform in terms of appropriate even though it makes everyone looks the same but we can adapt fashion to our uniform in appropriate way. For example, like our faculty, people wear jeans and it becomes the uniform. Even its against the rule but it still polite acceptable.

Kaem: Yeah, and that is a reason why nowadays teenager do not pay much attention in school and spend there time watching MTV, magazine, YouTube, playing Facebook and being up to date every seconds

Jane : I agree with you because I am one of them. But it is nothing wrong to follow them for example Lady gaga, she is fashionable, smart, hard working and unique. She is the one who inspires and motivate me to work harder.

Kaem: Yes, That’s what I am trying to say that Fashion cause inequality. We all tend to look up to models and celebrities wearing expensive clothes. Fashion trends therefore harm relationships, dividing the people and labeling them as "haves", and "have nots".

Jane: …

Kaem: Trends also force us mostly women to be perfect, to be slim, to wear high heels, to have wider lips. This means an enormous pressure on .

Jane: But I think it doesn’t matter because we all want to look good.

Kaem: What about surgery that is quite popular in Thailand? It is quite harmful and it is not an only way to make people look good.  Like some trying to get slim by slender remove their excess muscle. And there is one celebrity in Hollywood that is addicted to plastic surgery….wait what is her name?

Jane: Michael Jackson!

Kaem: No, not him.

Jane : Ummmm... Is it Jocelyn Wildenstein, right?

Kaem: Yeahhhhh, it’s her! She is a wealthy socialite and the one With fierce competition in Hollywood which they always got their society’s standards of beauty and force her by going under the knife over and over again.

Jane: Yeah, Sometimes surgery is harmful and it is not a good thing to do because it is not safe at all.

Keam: Yeah, that is what people try to be one of those celebrities, which called aesthetic.

Jane: What you mean by aesthetic?

Kaem: Aesthetic is very subjective. It happens when people start to imitate and want to be another person. aesthetic is the judgment of each individual people designed to give pleasure through beauty. They can decide weather the appearance is pleasing to them or not. It is one of the ways of structural the society by observing the large majority of whom sharing the same taste.

Jane: Everything is not good or bad to follow the trends or not. It depends on individual thought if it is a way to make you feel better it is not a bad thing then.

A Things

We as the designer can't stop invented the new object or improving the old object that were already exist. There is no limits in designing a product, things that are need to be considered as the most is it's function. The film called Objectified, show us how we can improve the products. Why we need to keep on develop these object? Why is it so important to us? Actually there are a connection between we people and the object. We all want to have a 'thing', this can be considered as car, cloth, purse. Some people were so materialistic and so addidcted to brand name. So here you can see how much these 'thing' really effect the people.

Deep Ecology

From my understanding deep ecology is the environment system. Before you can design something you need to consider the context around you. Big or even small building we need to understand the people, animals, social condition, landscape, and even weather your building can't be independent it must depend on everything around it. The environmental system are very interested because everything are connected. For example if you cut one tree, you might end up killing one species and this might destroy the  environment system.

TOPIAS- "Hunger Game"

The term for Topias is a places that are contrast so that we can see the contrast of each other. Utopia, Dystopia, Heterotopia are all term that can define as 'topias'. The movie Hunger Game is one good example to define the world 'topos', which mean the definition of place. In the film you will see the lifestyle of 2 classes of people. The capital, where there are a lot of tall building and people dressed up, while people on the other districts people doesn't have good cloths or good food. People from the Capital use the people from other district need to work for them. Both the Capital and other district can be consider as heterotopia because they need to be rely on one another. If there the rich doesn't exist and how you will know that you are poor.

Place and Space?

Place and Space sound very similar, but actually there aren't the same. Place somehow are include in the space but space is not a place. This might sound a little bit weird. Okay, let's make this easier to understand. A place is a space that have identities and memories of individual, which make it different from a space. If you are talking with your friend. Try to change the word 'place' into 'space'. For example, last night I went to this space. Your friend might be so confuse and don't understand what you talking about. Yea, we people are more familiar with the one place more than a word space. During the lecture Aj. Taylor show us this film, called "Powaggatsi, the Life in Transformation". The film distinguish a space and a place, it show how the space can be identifies into a place by showing the transformation of each landscape.
