Do You Feel Like a Robot?

The film shows us the study, Second Language Socialization in Bilingual Caht Room, written by Lam.

It's inevitable for one living in a society using different language to meet some obstacles with others. In the study, Lam researches on the two girls' language in bilingual chat room, and then raises one possible solution. Through a new-created identity in another comfortable society, people who feel unease in the foreign society.

Some researches focusing on "identity". Exactly, "identity" influences many things. In Chinese words, one says "不得體" to express some wrong behaviors for some certain positions. To human beings, no matter where they live, they must live with an identity. Identity, in other words, means what others look a person. And it decides how others look at a person. Of course, it also means what and how one sees himself. Therefore, when one doesn't think that he can do something well at some certain positions, he feels a great sense of difficulty. And the sense hinders him from doing well.

Using a foreign language in a foreign society is one example for it. One way to solve it is learn to be adapted into the society and then assimilate to it. In a short word, it's change self identity. The way sounds easy; however, it's hard to make out. Just as what I worried in previous article: though one reverse his identity in another buffering society, and learning language in it, would he be able to keep the same learning and language using in the original society as in the buffering one? It's bacause that there are many reasons, including complicated psychologic reasons, influencing man's behaviors. Therefore, in my opinion, reversing identity in one society and assimilating into another society are not always cause and effect.
