Lecture 1-Production Model (13/08/08)

Firstly, what is PRODUCTION?

from wiktionary:
1. the act of producing
2. the act of being produced
3. the total amount produced
4. the presentation of a theatrical work
5. an occasion or activity made more complicated than necessary

6. that which is manufactured or is ready for manufacturing in volume (as opposed to a prototype or conceptual model)

from wikipedia:

Production may be:
In Economics:
-Production, the act of making products (goods and services)
-Production, the act of manufacturing goods
-Production as statistic, gross domestic product

In Entertainment:
-Production, phase of filmmaking
-Production, category of illusory magic trick

Abstract systems:
-Production (computer science), formal-grammar concept
-Production system, programming method
-Production (information technology), software or hardware in active use

from my point of view:

Production is a proccess of creating something in the form of solid object which we can see or touch or an abstract system.

There are 6 elements of production:

1. Intension

2. Act

3. Rule

4. Actor

5. Site

6. Product

Intention

-tujuan, matlamat, objektif, nak apa

There are explicit and implicit intension. Explicit intension is clear and fully expressed while implicit intension is implied and not expressed directy.

There are also consructive and destructive intention. Construtive intension have a useful purpose and it is helpful to us while destructive intension will cause damage and destruction.

There are also good and bad intension. Good intension brings advantages to us while bad intension brings damage and negative effect to us.

Act

-laku, buat, laksana, tindak

-sendirian/berkumpulan

After having an intension, then it's time to act so that we can archieve what we intended to do.

However before we act, we must first have knowledge. Knowledge can be describe as a product. We can get knowlede trough seeing, listening, and differentiating. The most important is with heart~!

see, observe, look

listen, hear (dengar)

think & differentiate

With HEART~!

Rule
-fahaman, ideologi, ....isme

-natural, man-made

-climatic, local

Every act is governed with rule. In my opinion rule is important so that we won't do something out of what is required or something which is wrong according the rule set.

-There are many philosophical isms. A few of it were mentioned during the lecture.
1. altruism-no right, no wrong

2. cynicism-everything is wrong

3. relativism- everything is right

Q1: Ada betul, ada salah. What is the ism?

Answer: After refering to this web site: http://www.answers.com/topic/glossary-of-philosophical-isms, i think that the most appropriate ism for this question is OBJECTIVISM.

Objectivism can be defined as in ethics, the belief that certain acts are objectively right or wrong.

-kebenaran wajib dicari(truth-seekerisme)

-we don't need to find the truth, just throw away all the false and lies(taosim)

-nenek-moyangisme

Q2: What ism are you holding?

Answer: As for me, i believe in "factism". Nothing is true except you can prove it with reliable facts. There is no point to argue about and no one will be persuaded by you if you are talking craps without facts. So, talk "facts" to me. :)

Actor

-individu, institusi, pembuat, pelaksana.

Actor refer to the person who act during the process of a production

Site

-muka bumi

In order to act, we must first have a site. There are real site and virtual site. Examples of real site are floor, table paper, etc. Examples for virtual site are thought, dream and website.

real site

virtual site

Product

-physical, mental, spritual

In my opinion, physical product refers to product which we can see and touch. Mental product will be all the ideas we have in our mind. While spiritual product will be all the ism and religious belief.
