Learning Something New
This week in class we did alot of fun stuff such as learn about aikido a Japanese self defense technic. Aikido is a fighting technic created by Japanese solider in WWII. This technic is a mixed of different martial arts, it supposed to take someone's energy whose trying to hurt you and use it against them to not cause harm to them by calming them down. This is amazing to me cause i've grown up in a culture that teaches you to hurt the person whose trying to hurt you, by causing them more pain then they have cause you. But the guy who created aikido realized if two people keep at it by going back and forth causing more pain each time, it will never end till there both dead. So he realized that if you calm some one down if there trying to hurt you both there problems will be resolved peacefully.

Aikido is a great example of going against society. I feel that any situation can use the methods of Aikido. Use the other persons energy against them without hurting them, it could be fighting, but it could also be in conversation.
ReplyDeleteYes Mr, and recognize that this is an example of what sociologists call resocialization - that is relearning a new way to think about something that we had previously been taught.
