Critique Challenge

Based on my understanding of this part (emotivism) and based on the conclusion made by our group discussion, the view of judgement is depends on expressions of mine or writer’s feelings. For me, it does not depends on statement of fact but mostly it depends on our mood on that day whether we are in a good mood or otherwise. Let say, I am in a good mood today so I will give a judgement of this video based on my happy expressions. According to the emotivist, when we say “You should not do like that to your friend,” we are not expressing any fact beyond that stated by “You treat your friend so badly.” It is however, as if we had stated this fact with a special tone, for in saying that something is wrong, we are expressing our feelings of disapproval toward it. If someone says to me, “This is good,” and unfortunately I am not in mood so it would be appropriate for me to respond by saying, “But I do not like it as well so what led you to believe that I did?” . So basically, it depends on my mood or my own expressions to give a judgement.

Right now, I am in a very good mood so what can I conclude from this video here is the audience will enjoyed watching this video. Why I said like that? It is because of the way of the telling is funny and nice. The audience glad to watch this video until the ending part happily because this video has a high value of humour. In my opinion, the audience especially the youth between 12 and 21 years of age will be able to laugh louder even though they do not understand the concept of the story. In my emotivisim opinion, I will definitely like this video because the storyline is fun and when we are re-watching this video, we still can laugh out loud without feeling bored. The audience will be able to recognize and understand the moral values of the story voluntarily. Here, I would like to include the moral values of the story which is we cannot judge someone by looking at his/her physical only without knowing him/her well. Back to basic, after watching this video, the audience should be able to develop an appreciation of beauty without looking at their physical only with no doubt. I would like to say that everybody loves to see or watch something attractive in their life. So, this is similar to what I was trying to say. Even though the storyline of this video is a little bit messy, but still the audience loved to watch this video until the ending part of the video because of the model in the video. In addition, for me, the audience should be able to capture the message of this story and for sure the message in this video should be clear and easier to understand.

Based on criterion reference assessment, I will set the criteria based on the model in this video. Normally, when people see somebody with a nice hair or beautiful face, they will definitely say, “You are beautiful in your way.” So, the first criteria is the model with a good looking, the taller one and the style of his/her dressup. In this case, the model in this video already got the criterion given so totally, I think I like this video. But, even though I give a judgement based on emotivism, I think I can make a judgement better by using relativism.
