According to the Ta Taa Good bye Royal Thai Government’s 2011 Country Report to the United Nation Committee, What They most of them live in the Traditionally Wear northern part of Thailand.

However, in the western, Normally, most people “Mon” at Kanchanaburi may think that Mon province is one of the most people might wear dresses well-known ethnic groups like the Burmese, but with a long history. they don’t. According to This ethnic group processes Journal of Burma Research a strong sense of their Society (JBRS), the typical tradition, culture, and Mon dress is basically language as kinds of their quite indistinguishable from living heritage. On the other the Burmese. However, color hand, Mon people always and pattern of Mon is quite claims that they are not different. Furthermore, Mon Burmese no matter what fabric has a variety of anthropological studies have patterns made by special done. Therefore, we, as weaving and embroidery the readers, must know techniques. Nowadays, we about their background first. can see these costumes only Details about this ethnic on the special occasions. group are provided here to make us be familiarized and understand them more.

Looking Through or over hundred

Mon Language Mon language is categorized in the MonKhmer family language.

It is about 3,000-4,000 years old. Mon words are monosyllabic (one syllable) or disyllable (two syllable), but those multisyllabic words are influenced by other languages. In recent years, the usage of Mon language has decreased rapidly, especially among the

Mon Traditions Get closer to Mon identity, and you will see that Mon people are very unique. As they are also Buddhists and Looking through their culture,, everything they do is all for sacrificing to the Lord Buddha. In each year,more than 10 traditions are held such as Kalamare Making Tradition, and the Delivery of

Songkarn Rice Tradition. No matter what how far they are, they will return their communities for joining the traditions.

For example, one of the most interesting traditions of Mon ethnic group is the Honey Alms Offering which is normally held on the full moon date of the 10th month in lunar calendar. They believe that it is a means to have a good fortune.

In The Mon Mind It is a good chance to listen to their points of view by interviewing one of the Mon people who have been working in Thailand for years. Her name is “Sue”, and she will give a response for a question about her attitude of living in Thailand.

because of the stable relationship. I realized that Thai people give me more than a chance to be a new person, and most of Thais is very kind to me. I think Thailand is the first and best place for us to find a job no matter what kind of job is such as maid or labor. My monthly salary is enough to send to my family. However, I always hope that one day I will be able to go back to my homeland and live there at the end.”

With various aspects we have perceived already, we can notice them easily from now on. Unfortunately, many Mon communities live in 36 provinces across the country, and their rich heritage of culture, language, or even identity are declined each and every day. They have been passed down through time from generation to generation. If these things disappear one day, it will mean that the beauty of our neighboring history will also be gone.

Video Games… More than Just Fun

V

ideo games are not just time-filling activities.

Indeed, the majority of psychological research on the effects of gaming has pointed out mainly on negative effects: aggression, addiction, and depression. Moreover, many parents think that playing video games is a waste of time and give no benefits to their children.

Video games are not only playing by children but also by adults. Are video games more than just fun?

According to a number of psychological research papers on games, video games do not provide only fun but there are benefits.

The research of WafaMuhanna of Al Al-Bayt University, Jordan “Using online games for teaching English vocabulary for Jordanian students learning English as a foreign language” is investigating the effect of using online game for teaching English vocabulary. The findings of the study indicates that there were statistically significant differences between the control and the experimental groups in favor of the experimental group could improve their vocabulary building. Furthermore, Dr. Mark Griffiths’s, Professor of Gambling Studies in the Psychology Division of Nottingham Trent University, the research “The educational benefits of videogames” shows video games have the capacity to engage children in learning experiences and this has led

to the rise of edutainment media. Besides, the study “The benefits of playing video games” by Isabela Granic, Adam Lobel, and Rutger C. M. E. Engels of Radboud University Nijmegen displays that the nature of games has changed dramatically in the last decade, becoming increasingly complex, diverse, realistic, and social in nature; and playing video games may foster real-world psychosocial benefits. These results of the researches are different from many people attitudes in a previous paragraph.

Games can also improve many skills: management, concentration, well-decision, consciousness, planning, vocabulary, patience, and well-using computer. These skills are improved after playing games. For instance, The Sims is an imitation games. While create Sims, an imitation person in the game, we need to decide what abilities which have to add into the Sims. In this game, we can learn a lot of vocabulary because in The Sims have many things and careers to play.

You must look up the word which you do not know in the imitation life game. For the side of patience, you have to wait since the game is spent more than one month to achieve everything in The Sims.

Video games… more than just fun

These are reasons why skills are improved after playing games.

Mr. Kasem Wongsakun, 30, a gamecaster, who recording or steaming while he is playing games, and publishing on Youtube website, to tell you what he achieves from playing video games and being a gamecaster, interviewed “My English skills are improved.

I can communicate with foreign people in good command English. About decision-making, it can make me more observant and remembering.”

He added that “When playing games, my brain exercise to think fast.

I rapidly calculate and remember numbers.

Everything that I told you is a result of playing games.

Moreover, communicating with other people from other countries makes me know who is a good or bad person.”

Kasem added that “I have learnt a condescending as well. Importantly, playing games make me being more mature. Last thing, the online games should play in multiplayers mode. It means you have to play with your team members, and well-operating is important in your team for winning the games.”

You can earn some money by playing. Some gamecasters have income around a million dollars per month. It is such an amazing career, isn't it?

All research and interview are telling something useful of playing video games. It is not only playing for fun, but also improving many skills and apply in your real life. Games can make you a better life if it is used in a right way.

Is White Always Better?

by Supattra Deeying

People

are born differently and we all come with our own identities along with unique characteristics. Because of those differences, we keep dreaming to get things we do not have, to fulfill ourselves and create the ideal equality (be like others and have what they have).

Therefore, skin complexion is one of the natural identities we cannot control.

Although many people come up with deprecation against racism and point out that this is just an old attitude which can only detract human values, skin complexion is still a huge issue in many societies, especially in the Asian cultures. The question is how come this weird value is preferable?

Get to Know a White Cycle To understand this issue clearly, you must know first that people actually always look for perfection. It does not matter what races we are. We should not judge or stereotype any group of people without knowledge of their cultures. And for this matter, not all Asians want to look white. It is true that many of them seem to struggle in the “white cycle” like another racial group, but they have their own purposes and standards to follow this value.

The Asian’s White

Ideal

Instead of becoming white and having an appearance like a European, the Asians actually have their ideal look. They only want to have a white complexion for promoting their Asian features.

Nobody knows exactly how come this image becomes a standard of a perfect person.

People keep following each other and create a standard for a beautiful skin. While dark hair and small eye shape still remain, the complexion is whitened up.

Western Impact The truth is Asian is not the only ethnic group that aspires to have a white complexion. Other races such as African-American people also suffer on this horrible value. Actually, value of being white in many Asian countries is developed from Western cultures. Due to foreign advertising and marketing tricks, people keep thinking that it is better to be white.

Even though there is no actual explanation to tell them why they should have a white complexion like the westerners, people still keep going harsh on this trend without consciousness.

Whitening Products Many businesses come up with various whitening products and try to take over people’s minds.

Most advertisements try to use

this point (white value) as a strategy to create benefits for themselves.

So many people waste lots of money on these whitening products without knowing that something chemical there can raise more risks of death. For instance whitening capsules, collagen drinks (high sugar), exfoliated soups to risky white skin injection are terrifying items because those dangerous products can secretly kill them.

Talk with the Asian A 22-year-old college student explains her opinion on the “white value” nowadays and reasons why she wants to get a white skin. “Being white gives me a cleaned look and increase attractiveness,” says the student. Even though no one can determine what a “cleaned look” means exactly, there is an interesting detail to look at.

The student reveals that she just wants to look the same and do what her friends do.

Moreover, she adds that her favorite actress also has an impact on her. “It will be great if I can have a white beautiful skin like my favorite actress,” says she.

I

t is good to do things for yourself, but like someone said “Everything should be balanced”. Only skin complexion cannot help you gain better opportunity or be successful in life. Be proud of your own identities and do everything your best is a right way to go. Please remember that just because we look different does not mean we are different. We all always have chances to be better ones and prove to others how amazing we are at any time, so do not blame skin complexion if you cannot reach any goal. Well, instead of trying hard to be better than others, try to be happy with things you have might be a happiness you actually look for.

As the name suggests, “Manual” mode stands for a full manual control of Aperture and Shutter Speed. In this mode, you can manually set both the aperture and the shutter speed to any value you want – the camera lets you fully take over the exposure controls. This mode is generally used in situations, where the camera has a hard time figuring out the correct exposure in extreme lighting situations.

White Balance The colour of the light will affect the colours in your photographs.

The camera is less forgiving, and records colours exactly as they are. That's why pictures taken under household lighting have an orange colour cast, and pictures taken at dusk or dawn have a cold, blue look.

Digital cameras have 'White Balance' controls to correct these colour shifts. This adjustment happens when the camera processes and saves your pictures.

All kinds of photography remains very time-consuming and requires a lot of practice and trying. Add it all up and you are easily working for an hour before you actually need

Here are the four main types of camera modes that can be found in most digital cameras today: In “Program” or P mode, the camera automatically chooses the Aperture and the Shutter Speed for you. This is the mode you want to use for “point and shoot”

In most DSLR cameras, the ISO does not automatically change in the above camera modes, so you have to set it manually. If you do not want to manually set the ISO all the time and have an “Auto ISO” feature in your camera, enable it, then set the maximum ISO to “800-1600” and your minimum shutter speed to something like 1/200th of a

Chinese Tourist Worries Written by Naparat Inpok

For Spitting on the street of Chinese people, spitting is common in China. If their body wants to release something, they believe that it should be released right then and there.

Chinese people always make slurping or belching sounds because it indicates that they are enjoying their food.

How to deal with Chinese tourist

Chinese tourists visit to Wat Phra Kaeo.

Chinese tourist travel to Thailand During the past ten years, the number of Chinese tourist travel to Thailand had been growing rapidly and reached to the peak at eight million people in 2015. The wave of Chinese tourist visit to Thailand is influenced from movies, the marketing of Chinese travel agency, low cost and charter airlines, and the public relations of Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Understand Chinese tourist’s background.

The public complains about Chinese tourist unacceptable manner such as too loud, too rude, unruly, and unmannerly because the huge number of Chinese tourist causes a lot of

problem to Thailand. The antiChinese tourist has spread among most of Thai people.

Their behaviors are heavily criticized. So, Thailand central Chinese TV station produced a group of cartoon “please understand Chinese tourists”, so Thai people can understand that Chinese tourists are not all uncivilized. The cartoon mentions that China is a vast country and has many several regions. So, the populations in each region quite have many different behaviors, personalities, and characteristics. Chinese people in northeastern are gentle and speak politely but hard-hearted.

In the northwest, people are speaking less but very direct and not saving someone’s face.

In the southwest, people speak loudly and roughly. They are impatient and irritable but soon

recovered. Chinese people in southeastern speak loudly but generous. People from Beijing are simple, polite, and friendly.

People from Shanghai are luxurious, boastful, and arrogant.

Understand Chinese tourist’s manner.

China just opens their country to the outside world.

Travelling aboard is new for them. So, they are carrying the ways they are to other countries. Below are some unmannerly behaviors that we can understand.

They speak loudly because they believe that it presents good personality, good manner, sincerity, and care. For people, who speak softly or whispering, looks unconfident and impolite. To be quiet is also lack of interpersonal relation in their culture.

Mainland Chinese has scramble manner because they have to fight for the food or the objects as the population is crowded, but the resources are not enough.

For overtaking the queue, most Chinese people understand what queue is, but in their culture, the owner of the queue has to protect their own right, if not, other people will continue overtaking their queue.

To deal with Chinese tourist, we should start from providing Chinese language signs or giving the travel brochures to them at our tourist attractions or in the important places. The nature of Chinese people is if there are warning signs, they will be very obedient because their country rule and law is very strict.

Providing more information about Thai culture, way of life, and manner are necessary, we should inform them how to being appropriate in our home country. This way can decrease the problem and increase more understanding to each other. It is believed that times will make new Chinese young generation gradually learn and have more universal manners. In the future, they could become our favorite tourist.

A recent incident; a 2yearsold boy, named Fluke, he has been missing since 22 October, 2016.

People mostly get the news by the media in their daily life. However, there is a lot of information which are informed to people now. So,the media for pictures and details of lost children are not enough placed.

BioShock: The Danger of the American Ideal

By Tanakorn Prasopsorn Some time ago, “The BioShock Collection” was released: A collection composed of two discs, the first one containing a copy of BioShock and BioShock 2, and the second part containing BioShock Infinite. The collection was newly released, remastered in better visual quality, in higher definition. Having all of these games and their content on the PlayStation 4 was a godsend; people always thought these games looked off on lastgeneration hardware (people owned BioShock Infinite on PlayStation 3). They’re regarded as somewhat of a spiritual successor to the System Shock series of games, with “vigors” replacing genetic enhancements from System Shock, survival-horror elements (at least in BioShock and BioShock 2) and a strong focus on science-fiction and story.

With this new updated release, we’ve decided to look at the stories of BioShock and BioShock Infinite again; After all, it was the strong storytelling that made these games what they were; That made them feel different and unique, earning them Game of the Year awards and not just retreads of System Shock 2 (we refuse to analyze BioShock 2: It was a lazy game created by hacks from another games studio to capitalize on the success of the first). These games show the danger of unregulated ideologies creating literal and figurative monsters out of people (in BioShock and BioShock Infinite, respectively), making “utopias” that are just the opposite: A place for unregulated scientific experimentation in the first and an overly religious city hiding the true horrors: Slavery, racism, and unregulated capitalism.

In BioShock, Jack Ryan enters Rapture: An underground city, free from prying eyes, run by Andrew Ryan, where this saying prevails: No God or Kings, Only Man. Their ideology is derived from “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand: The successful receives their due rewards, there is a clear separation of church and state (maybe no religion at all, perhaps) and a focus on

the person and science: Genetic experimentation on humans is legal and encouraged in an effort to better the human race, and “vigors” – Drugs that instantly grant the user genetic modifications and make them stronger, healthier, and grant them longevity. The main material used for genetic enhancements – Vigors – ADAM – is harvested from stem cells. The over use of genetic modifications creates “splicers”: Freaks of nature that have gone insane, have strange abilities and murder with no moral consequence.

This is the danger of the Libertarian agenda, of the Libertarian party and ideal. The Libertarian party is a political party gaining traction in the United States, which have the goal of legalizing all victimless crimes: Prostitution, eliminating gun control, legalizing genetic experimentation, abortion, and subscribing to laissezfaire capitalism, and legalizing drugs, also creating a clearer barrier between church and state.

America, or any other country, with the Libertarian party, may become the future Rapture: unchecked genetic experimentation on our food and ourselves, us becoming our own Gods, may result in freakish animals, plants – Hell, maybe even people.

Think about our current GMO food, those large, red tomatoes we crave and eat in our chicken soup every day.

Now think about creating that same chicken soup and using a chicken with two heads to make it. Think about a single company selling vigors in BioShock – Now think about that company selling marijuana, cocaine, crack, to our children. That is the future of the Libertarian ideology, its extreme. Do you want that? We have researched that the party received 3% of the vote this past US election, more than any third-party.

Now, we hear you saying, “Nope, no way in Hell. I wouldn’t live in a city, country, a world, like that. I want to be conservative.”

Conservative, we can give you.

Remember, how BioShock was the Libertarian ideal? BioShock Infinite is the conservative, Republican version of it. But it’s still Hell. Booker DeWitt is a man with debts to pay. But,

the man says, “Bring the girl, wipe away the debt.” DeWitt enters Columbia, a city floating in the sky, to kidnap Elizabeth – But unknown to him, she is the Lamb, and DeWitt is the False Shepard.

Anyway, Columbia is a city, in the Gilded Age of America, newly separated from the Union, religious, morally sound, and everyone is happy and well-off. That’s the outside. But peel away the layers of Columbia – Look past the golden statue of Father Comstock, the GodFearing Christians, look past

the sunny skies and smiling faces – And we see racism, both against the Asians and Blacks in general and Chinese and AfricanAmericans in particular, with no unions – That’s right, bad pay, no work insurance, no vacation days – And slavery. Father Comstock is a man mad with power – A “Prophet” mad with power, a dictator with an iron fist.

With this lies the danger of when men of too much ego have too much power – They take their ideology, their agenda – And things go into the toilet.

Having a country under a party with a majority in the parliament is fine, but what of a country, with a party and dictator-inchief? This is the question that BioShock asks us. Power should be shared, not owned by a single individual.

4 Misunderstanding Most of people think the kindergarten teacher is the easiest of all kind of teacher. But in fact, it is not an easy job at all. Let’s see what misunderstandings about the kindergarten teacher are and what kindergarten teachers really are.

The kindergarten teacher is an easy job taking care of children.

The kindergarten teacher is most definitely not easy. As a matter of fact, taking care of students is just a part of a job. In addition , to they must teach students to be able to help themself, ready to read and to write in the further, to be good behave in the classroom and play nicely with others as it is the first time at school for them.

Kindergarten teachers need to be able to assess where students are Kindergarten teachers need to Kindergarten teachers always academically and emotionally in make the kids be able to read and have free time. order to set goals for the class and to write.

Most of people thinks kindergarten This is a big barrier for student‘s teachers have a lot of free time learning that all the kindergarten because students do not need to teachers try so hard to explain this learn all day. Of course, when issue to the parents. For student‘s students go back home development, to be able to read kindergarten teachers can take a and to write are not a big deal. It is break, but in fact kindergarten not a point of learning in teachers use this free time to kindergarten school. prepare material teaching included students’ homework. Moreover, there are lesson planning, room preparing, paperwork, evaluations, individual students. and etc. So, do not think it is a free Kindergarten teachers are not a time and do not think that it is easy babysitting. Actually kindergarten to do many things in the same time. teachers and babysitting are same personal education but different duty. Each Kindergarten school Students should develop should have both of them in each evolution of 4 sides such as Body, classroom.

Community, Emotional and psychological development before literacy. Kindergarten teachers have to experience students to motivate their development without forcing. They have to teach students who come in Kindergarten school with no knowing any letters or numbers.

It must be fun to play with the kids all day.

Yes!! It is fun playing with the kid all day, but you have to understand the meaning of the word “Play” for Kindergarten in the correct way.

When children are playing with toys (Kitchen, blocks, Legos, books, dramatic play) they are not just playing but they are: -building social skills -learning how to have conversations -learning real life skills So, kindergarten teachers have to play and teach them in the same time. Kindergarten teachers have to take care of children when they are playing with others and also have to encourage them in their play and every moment must be filled with a song or a rhyme. In addition, kindergarten teachers work with students from 4-6 years of age, motivating them to learn and preparing them for elementary school, and then think about how many students in one class with one teacher, is it still fun?
