PLN week 4-1

I recently read an article by natavillage called Dept. of Non-Formal Education sponsors seminar. It was about how natavillage set up a seminar for the local villagers and what the seminar was all about. There were various tents set up for the villagers and each tent had different kinds of information for the villagers set up by different government departments. All that were presented were the woman's affair department, agricultural department and the wildlife department.

In this article they had a picture of lion skin with the head attached. They said that it was to educate the local villagers about what a lion looked like and the dangers of it, but also not to hunt it. I think that was not a good way to represent that because than they would look at you like you were a hypocrite, because your are showing them something that they are not suppose to do, but then you are doing it. To think about it that is their home and place and your telling them what and what not to do there, while you are doing what you want and don't want to do when it is not you home or land.

I think that I can relate to that because it is just the same as someone invading your privacy. I know it is to do things right and to help you out, but sometimes people don't like it. When your mom or dad goes into your room and snoops around and tells you that you can't have this in your room, you can't do this in your room, or you can't do this to your room. You know it is for your own good, but then again you don't want to be told what to do.

Like at school they kind of limit what kind of things to do on your assignments and what not to do. Computers at school they limit you to what you can look at and what kind of websites you can look at, but sometimes those websites that we can't get to are more useful than what we are allowed to look at. You don't always like the fact that you can't look at them, but it is the rule and you have to follow it.

What I am getting to and what mattered to me about this article and the picture in it was that sometimes things are not just fair. No matter what you do or how convincing you are that is just the way things are, to accept it.
