03 social work and why social work

20017/10/28 I got to know something about social work while studying the university bulletin before signing up for the college entrance examination. I found the interesting information listed under the department of sociology and decided to switch my first choice from music to sociology, partly for the reasons of social work courses listed. 我是在報名大專聯考前溜覽東海大學的簡介書的時候才初次接觸到社會工作這回事。我是在社會學系的介紹裡面看到社會工作那些有趣的介紹及學程而使我臨陣把第一志願音樂系改為社會學的。 I started to take courses in social in sophomore, from the introduction to social work to social casework and was fascinated. The social work curricula at Tunghai was first taught by Ms. Hsu-hua Liang followed by Ms. Li-tao Chang, The courses I took was taught by Ms. Chang who just returned from Hawaii University upon receiving MSW degree in 1964 when I was a freshman. 我在大二時開始選修社工概論及個案工作。在東海大學,最初由梁緒華老師開始開社工課程。後來由張驪陶老師接手。我修的課是由在我大一時剛剛從夏威夷取得社工碩士回國的張驪陶小姐教的 After graduation and returning home from military services in the front line on the island of Kim-mn̂g, I ap...

preaching, preacher, and ways of preaching

based on a letter received on Oct. 26, 2017. 2017-10-26 10:52 GMT-05:00 Stephen Wu  < stevewu0728@yahoo.com > : Anthony: 這是我教主日學和講道,與班友的分享,請指教。 原文 回應 / 解讀 / 延伸 九月底我和我太太參加了基督徒心靈輔導學的年會, 會中聽了不少名牧的講道。我問太太說:「我們自從信主以來, 聽的道可是不少,妳還記得那些講員講的道?」 我們共同的答案是記得的講道真是「少之又少」,但是對「人」 的印象倒是「記憶猶新」。 「記憶」在基督信仰裡扮演什麼角色? 「忘記」在天路歷程裡扮演什麼角色? 聽講道,要聽什麼、怎麼聽、記什麼、怎麼記、忘什麼、怎麼忘 ? 有句話說「 Messenger is message 。」傳講者本身就是傳講的信息。 這句話適用在每一個人身上,我的父親常對我說說:『 認識一個人就如讀一本書。』所以每個人都有個故事,都帶著信息。   只是在檯面上的人物,或當講員,或為領會,或作領唱 ... 比較「 聚焦」引人注目多受公評罷了。 其次,回憶在我所認識的「講師」 中,對我聖經的學習深具影響的,是那些教我「如何挖寶」 的老師們。聖經就如「寶山」,上他們的課那真是「如沐春風」 絕不致於「如坐針氈」「看時對錶」總覺得「意猶未盡」 激起自己多去學的「興趣」和「動力」。 也許一個問題, 一個字的解釋,一個理念的傳遞,就如給了你一把打開寶盒的鑰匙。   所以,真是難為人師,每次我去講課,聖經也好,化學課也好, 都是「戰戰兢兢」。課中體察學生與班友們的回應,也隨時體察聖靈  ( paraclete   旁立者 )  的提醒。 再說,怎樣的傳講才能「扣人心弦」呢? 在馬太福音裡我們看到施洗約翰的傳講,首先我們看到他的「人」, 雖出身祭司家庭,但謙卑自稱自己只是「曠野的聲音」「 預備主的路」,其次看到他傳的信息,指出人心的需要,「 神的羔羊」是誰...

002 Why sociology and how it is useful?

2017/10/15 9:14 I started studying sociology in 1964 as a student of Tunghai University, majoring in sociology, after a season of changing in my life. I would address the series of changes in another posting later. Sociology, a new-found field to me, caught my attention and interest at the first sight in college days. I remember how I was struck when I learned that Comte, a physicist, was the founder of such field early in the course of Introduction to Sociology, a required course for all the sociology major. The course was taught by Mr. Ju-chi Hsi, who was a scholar born and educated in China and went to finish his college degree in Taiwan. He was awarded the scholarship for studying abroad with public (governmental) fund in the year of 1955 according to this webpage published . I did not know anything about the name Comte before that first sociology class in my life. It opened my mind to realize that every new field of knowledge is started by someone from other fields. Later,...

001 New way of writing / creative memoirs

2020/719 14:44 The easiest way to start writing involves the content, the languages, the formats, and the audiences, at least. Writing the writer's own story is the easiest way to find the content. Copyright is not a problem unless the writer's stories appear to be copied from others. But there are potential obstacles or risks involved even in writing one's own stories without research. Memory-based stories could involve historical facts that involve other peoples or other entities. Everyone involved remembers shared stories with different angles and details naturally. ----- Sohisam Tony Su July 13, 2014 at 12:12 AM  ·  「關於「什麼是好作文」,發言的總是中文系教授,而且他們評判的重點,不是在思維內容,而是在形式與文字使用。」 http://www.thenewslens.com/post/53273/ 我在構思一套助人學習觀察、撰寫觀察報告的方法及工作坊。覺得值得繼續或好奇想度看看的人請按贊一下。 12 Comments 6 劉良聲, Liông-Hong Jacob Lâu and 4 others Share 2017/10/15 8:26 While eating breakfast I suddenly realized that I could document the thoug...
