Man and Society with Aj. Bruce

From the first day I was in the class, I knew that this class was not some ordinary M&S class that I have experienced in my long study life. In the day that I stepped inside the classroom and saw you, I could feel some radiation that was coming to me. I knew that this is going to be special. From that day to today, I must say that this class deserves some commends and one of the commends shall come from me. First of all, I want to say thank you Aj. Bruce for teaching me the knowledge which is very important for me and my living. Your course has taught me many things and opened my eyes to see the truth, fact, knowledge and friendship. You really care your students and I can see it from your acting, even though some may think it is annoying. I didn’t do some of your online assignments and I regretted it. I should do it before weekends, which I usually forget to do things on weekends. I did bad on quizzes and exam. I know that may be I didn’t make you proud of me. But I want you to know that I want to.


I learnt so much and went so far. I still can’t see the door but what you taught me will be one of the tool to help me find that door I deserve to have. Your 21th century surviving skills. For the projects or activities that I like or can remember, the first is the short movie about LGBT you let us create. This project helped us many ways from knowledge to skills. It helped us learn about LGBT and encourage some students to perform and improve their acting skill. Even though in my group I’m just a side character, But it was hard enough for me to act and speak English at the same time. I failed many times during the recording time. Yet you improved me greatly with this project.

Second is the movie you let us watched in the class “Shattered Glass”. I don’t know this movie and didn’t know that this movie is exists at all. This movie looks old and at first it made me sleepy so bad because there was nothing much at the beginning for me to ride along. I tried to not go to sleep, but for god sake I slept right at the part that was exciting. And yes I regretted sleeping that day. So after the class I went back home and watched the whole movie again. And I must say that this is some good movie that didn’t get recognize by people, or maybe it did get but some people (including me) didn’t know it. But finally you gave me a chance to watch and feel amaze with this good movie.


Third is the Ethics. This is interesting for me. At first I couldn’t understand the first 3 pages at all (lol). But then I read it for another 3 times then I could understand it. In the sheet there were so many names of the people that had theory about ethics and their names are funny for me. I learnt so much about some strange ethics theory that some of them doesn’t make any sense at any point with any knowledge I have in my brain, but yes it was good to know that this world is a lot bigger and strange than I expected it to be.

Forth is the Social exploration. Well now this one is my favorite. Please don’t call me freak but I will tell you that one of my hobbies since I was 6 years old is to sit and watch people around me. I like doing that because I love it. I want to know how people are different from each other. I like learning how people act, see things, talk to each other. Sometimes I would pay special attention to some people, especially if they are talking. So I can know if they are talking about something that is about me or about my friends.  And from this hobbies I can learn about psychology, which I like and love.


Fifth is the Silent skit. I love acting. And yes you made me happy with this project so much J. There is not so many thing I would talk about this project. Just that I love this project and you can see from my acting. Some said I was Overacting and yes I was, yet I didn’t really care about what they said. I like what I was doing. I love what I did and no, no one can make me feel embarrassed of what I did and what I will do in the near future that is coming to my life


Sixth and the last is the BACC or Bangkok Art and Cultural Center. I didn’t know this place while my friends said they had been to this place many times because I don’t live in the heart of Bangkok and I don’t usually travel in Bangkok. I usually travel around my house and in countries. When I got in BACC at first I thought it was just a normal building with pictures hanging around. But when you let me explore by myself. This place is good. The floor that I like is the 1st floor. It has so many beautiful nature pictures. Thai natures and local people pictures in black and white. But the thing I don’t like about this place is it is so high and we can see from the first floor to the roof top.

Lastly all I want to say is I have learnt so much from this course. I learnt about Society, Social, people, History, Knowledge, Art, culture and friendship. Thank you Aj. Bruce for being my teacher for this course with your teaching style. without you maybe I would still be the same person. You changed me and my perspective. You made me a better man.
