I went to Davis Blackmon and Emma Campbell's presentation of their Chem 443 project on The Breakdown of the Cost of Drug Development. They talked about how the pharmaceutical companies compete to find newer drugs to have the highest prices.

Since we are not tweeting tomorrow on an article, I will tweet about Monday's discussion. It seems like many believed that how you look affects you in many situations. During the discussion, I remembered about our previous discussion on how those that would drop out of school.

@RandyM12670404 This was actually very surprising to me as well.

"The boundary between ‘flower boys’ and ‘beast idols’ is tenuous, however. Although the bodies of ‘beast idols’ are more muscular than those of ‘flower boys’, ‘beast idols’ are also expected to have exceptionally good-looking faces and polished skin. "

Hmm...Interesting!

"South Korea is a deeply divided society, between the right and the left, the rich and the poor, the old and the young. Unity is an illusion and nationalism erupts only when the nation suffers a collective insult." Sounds a little insulting to me.

@Isam65581084 Comedy has a lot to do with perspective, but jokes can definitely be taken too far.

@kalae_wong I felt the same. Although I feel the US "tries" to keep racism out of things.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

This article is really interesting. It not only taught me about the Black-Korean relation, but also reaction videos in general.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

@kalae_wong It honestly took me by surprise.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

Blackface depictions were taken at face-value by Korean audiences and represented for them a ‘normal’ and ‘innocent’ comedy practice, without intentional ill-will towards any ethnic group." I had noooooo I dea that this was a thing in Korea.

"During the pre-internet 1980s, Korean comedians regularly performed skits with Rasta wigs and darkened faces without attracting criticism.

"Of the various forms of popular culture, arguably, in South Korea, the film can be regarded as the most effective medium through which to read the dynamics of its civil society, and is one of the most persuasive and enjoyable forms of expression at present."Film is my medium too

@Allie99549084 Really good question. Really makes me think.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

"The notion of human capital encompasses “inborn physical-genetic predisposition and the entirety of skills that have been acquired as the result of ‘investments’ in the corresponding stimuli: nutrition, education, training, and also love, affection, etc..."

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

@annakahler3 I agree to the fullest.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

However, the closed, male, narcissist structure founded in the film makes it
impossible for viewers to escape from such complicity." I feel like this quote sums up most of the reading.

[schaft63theboy @schaft270theboy]

"In order to criticize the last twenty years, this film should, rather
than demanding that viewers comply with totalitarianism and dictatorship,
focus on waking viewers from the long-lasting nightmares
caused by their silent and complicit participation in this evil.

For my final project, I would like to focus on:
1- Korean Hip-Hop and cultural hybridity
2- Entertainment Business and the Dream of Celebrity
3- Private education market and the divide in educational opportunities
