Production Model



What is meant by production? Perhaps, it can be explained as a process of producing something. After this lecture, I found out that there must be six elements to undergo a production. The elements are intention, act, product, actor, rule and site. The combination of these elements can answer the Wh- questions.
Intention is referred to an aim to do something. It can be explicit or implicit, constructive or destructive, good or bad and so on. Intention must be accomplished with knowledge. Therefore, we must have knowledge before having intention. Knowledge is a product of certain act by actor. The acts to gain knowledge are listening, seeing, and understanding.
Rule is something about right or wrong. There are many different kinds of ideology, concluded in different –isme. For the ideology which saying that there is no right and no wrong, it is altruism. While ideology saying everything is wrong refers to cynicism. Relativism says that everything is right. For those who always look for the truth, they are practicing truth-seekerisme. And Taoism says that the truth is there when there is no lie. For me, I think I am practicing altruism because I think everything is coming in their forms as they should, there is no right and no wrong. It is just the way it is. By the way, rule can also be man-made or natural. It can be climatic, technological, economic, or global.
Product is the result of act. It can be physical, mental or spiritual. Site can be differentiated into two major groups: real site or virtual site. Real site is what we can see in reality. For example, the land, floor, table, or even paper. However, the virtual site is where we cannot feel or touch, such as mind, dream and internet.
