CONTEMPORARY THEME-REFLECTION
This was the notes I wrote for the documentary I AM A FISH HEAD. We were asked to write down our thoughts while we were watching the documentary. The video told us how greedy successful businessmen were and how pressure brought people to psychopath.
This documentary taught me how greedy society and how fragile human-beings were. By looking at the notes I wrote, I realized the importance of relieving pressure. No matter how successful or wealthy one was, without happiness, how could one enjoy life? Therefore, more and more people tried to obtain happiness from drugs which would lead people to worse depression.
After doing this assignment, I learned that all of us should adjust our mentality to avoid psychological problems under such a complicated society.

After doing this assignment, I learned that all of us should adjust our mentality to avoid psychological problems under such a complicated society.
We were required to find out the values and happiness in our lives by looking at the wheel we drew. First of all, we were asked to make a list of what's looming for us. Next, we needed to think of what we wanted more in our lives by plotting points on the wheel. I followed all the steps and answered all the questions mentally before I plotted the points which represented major categories of my life.
This assignment revealed a different aspect of myself that I did not notice in daily life. By looking that the wheel, I found out that I was satisfied with my current life since everything in the categories was mostly balanced although I complained about all the projects and tests at school everyday. I also discovered that I needed more creativity in order to make my life more balanced.
