Final Essay

Final Essay

 Won Ji Hye

Each people have different opinion like their looks. . The word “opinion” means that is what they think or believe about something.  As human, all people have a right that they can claim their opinion if their opinion is wrong or not for other people. Sharing opinion with other people makes us to enlarge our experience and knowledge. My essay will range over 3 blogger’s articles. I will compare my opinion with 3 bloggers’ opinion on same topics on articles covering government intervention. The government step into policewomen’s uniform in Russia in first article, life of human in second article, and drinking habit in office in third article.

The first article is “Russia Bans policewomen from wearing too short skirts.” from Cho Hyun-Jae’s blog. His opinion is that Russia’s decision is right because policeman should keep their looking clean and uniforms should be effective to catch criminals. I can’t agree his opinion totally. The duty of policeman is not only catching offender but also doing many things such as levying a fine of the traffic regulations or other rules, and helping people to solve severe problems in society. It’s okay that policewoman wear too short skirt on their choice if they feel comfortable because skirt looks tidy and attractive. This is same thing that stewardess who have lots of activities on their work in flight wear skirts. Therefore, in my opinion, there is no need to ban policewoman from wearing too short skirts. It is a matter of their choice.

Next, I chose Seung hwan’s article about that Peruvian police and soldiers given ‘license to kill’ protesters 5 years after Bagua violence. Seung Hwan thinks the behavior of government is incorrect because protest of native is very reasonable. I am almost of a mind with Seung Hwan’s opinion, a little difference of my opinion is that killing people is incorrect if their protest is reasonable or ‘not’.  Because the government is made by people, government should provide security and peace for all people. It is ironic that the government that should have to protect their people uses armed force even killing their people. And in this world, no one can have right to decide whether another human lives or dies like license to kill.

Lastly, I selected Da Sol’s topic about “France allows employers to ban wine in offices”. From his writing, he supports decision of France because he thinks drinking is bad and some regulations are needed to people to control amount of drink. His opinion is contrary to my opinion. If they can drink, they are adult, not child. Adults should have to face up their responsibilities. There are no one drunken who know that if they cannot do good work, they will be fired. Therefore the government intervention is not necessary whether they are drunk or not, healthy or not, and mentally well-being or not in their office.

As a conclusion, I can see that there are a lot of things happen around the world, how people react, and there are many different opinions. I selected these three articles because these are dealing with a common subject about the government intervention. On these same articles, my opinion is dissimilar to Hyun Jae’s, Seung Hwan’s, and Da Sol’s. In first article, Hyun Jae consent about banning policewomen’s short skirt in Russia, but I do not consent because it is a problem of policewomen’s choice. In second article, Seung Hwan’s opinion and my opinion about giving license to kill are similar, with one difference that I am totally opposed to kill people if they are wrong or not. And in last article, Da Sol is favorable to banning wine in office but I am not because it is also individual’s matter. I think the government intervention should be minimized but their opinion is distinct. By sharing opinion with them, I can learn the fact that other’s opinion cannot always same with my opinion.

When I was young, group god was literally god for me. They were comeback with this song about 2 months ago.

This song's lyrics touched me. I'm falling love in voice of god.

I didn't watch this drama but i like music of drama "doctor stranger". More than all, awesome background sound is my style and bobby Kim's voice is so sexy and sound sad. In this song, there are lyrics like this. "You and I both have lonely lives. That is the life we have to live. Love easily breaks, time easily flows. I'm just the stranger without you." It brings forth a bit of empathy for his pathetic love in me. I want to be loved by man like this song's lyrics.

1. Wall Collapse Kills at Least 11 Workers in Southern India

 At least 11 people were killed because a new wall surrounding a warehouse compound fell. The 20-foot-high brick wall collapsed on huts of construction workers after heavy rain. Building Collapses are common in India because of illegal construction and building-code violations.
  This accident is so tragic to victims and victims’ families. I want to ask the Indian authorities to responsibility. They should have to make Indian to stop have illegal construction and building-code violations by making stronger and stronger laws.

2. Calling for a bikini ban is a dangerous response to assaults in India 

 In Goa, there was many travelers wearing the bikini, but Indian politician said it was difficult to protect women if they wore bikinis on the beach or other places, and they argued that it went against Indian culture. The Goa bikini warning is the patriarchal nature of a country where modernization and conservatism collide.
 After reading this article, this article sounds fine for a country that really doesn’t want to have a tourist industry. In that sort of climate every age group of women will be wearing summer stuff including swimsuits of varying degrees of modesty, and cooling down by drinking in bars. I can’t understand that.

3. Select Air India flyers to get to taste and choose food


  
 First and business class passengers on Air India will be able to try and then choose their food, once the national carrier joins the Star Alliance later this week in order to improve the onboard food service on select domestic and international routes, and it makes individual tastes and preference.

 It sounds very interesting to eat food that I want freely like buffet. I have thought occasionally flight fee is too expensive compared with flight service, so after reading this article, I think our Korean air company should provide this service like Air India.

1. Poor prices for kangaroo meat



 In this article, advancing costs of kangaroo and dropping incomes are affecting both kangaroo hunters and cattle producer. Cheap prices drive hunters away from the industry and there is excess supply versus demand, prices decline.

 It is very interesting that there are many people who engage in industry related kangaroo in Australia. In high school, I studied the theory on famous law of supply and demand that consumer demand goes up as the price of a good less. Therefore for a period of time there have been kept chaos, but a few times later, prices will rise because of low supply caused by people who leave kangaroo industry.

2. Racist men abuse, spit on kids at dad’s Indian restaurant


 2 racist men abuse racial tirade, spit on 2 kids in a family’s Indian restaurant. They show a low life act to families of migrants. They have been charged with public nuisance and banned from coming anywhere near the restaurant.

 I heard there are many racist in Australia, but racist should think themselves that they are eligible for discriminating against someone based on race. People have the right to be treated as beings of value in ourselves. Racist should throw their thoughts because we are same human.

3. Concern over bugs resistant to banned antibiotic found in chicken


 Scientists from the School of Biology have found bugs resistant to forbidden antibiotic in chickens and they worried about health of human who get illness from the contaminated chicken meat. Most people think cooked chicken is safe, but for preparing food with chicken meat, it is dangerous chicken to contact with human or household surface.

 My favorite food is chicken. Although I always meet completely cooked chicken, I will check the chicken’s country of origin. The Department of Agriculture of Australia should ensure to safety of chicken for their imports and exports.

Blog Project 1 - South America (Chile)

1. Chile moves closer to decriminalizing abortion


 Chile is one of just 5 Latin America countries where there is a completely forbid abortion. Although the processes that decriminalize abortion have been refused by the Chilean Congress over and over again, Chile is planning to decriminalize abortion, in order to protect Chilean women and girl’s rights.

 I was surprised when I knew that existence of countries where there is total prohibits abortion such as Chile. I think it violates woman rights clearly. The country should decriminalize abortion because the unwanted pregnancy such as the result of rape makes the woman’s life danger and hellish.

2. Students face down tear gas and water cannons in Chile protests

 The protest organized by Chilean students for education reform put forth to the national congress by President Michelle Bachelet, but riot police in Santiago threw tear gas and water cannons against protesters during a march. The use of tear gas and water cannons causes a violent response from students.

 I think that the governments should listen carefully to their subjects’ sound. Before listening, armed repression like throwing tear gas and water cannons is irrational and inhuman because subjects are weak compared to the government. If the government listen carefully to their subjects’ opinion and resolve differences among the branches, the protest could diminish.

3. Chilean miner and rescue team head blame safety measures for Soma disaster


 4 years ago, there was mine accident in Copiapo that 301 workers were killed in a mining disaster. 2 Chileans who survived this accident have asked the Turkish authorities to responsibility. They said that if all safety measures were raised to international standards, much more people could survive and blamed poor safety precautions taken by the authorities.

 I can know that there is widespread public apathy in Turkey like Korea by this article. In Korea, Insensitivity towards safety that is prevalent in our society has caused this tragic accident, “Sewol ferry disaster”. After accidents, the governments should change the safety rule and make people observe the rule to prevent the recurrence of accidents.

4. Destruction left in wake of Chile’s historic sporting triumph


 After the World Cup that Spain won over, the Chile’s capital turned to turmoil. Fans filed to the streets, damage property, hijack buses, assault drivers and clash with uniformed police. Chilean fans in Brazil also made disturbance that they broke fences and enter Maracana stadium where the match was taking place.

 I appreciate the passions of Chilean fan about Word Cup, but I can’t understand their action on the harms caused to communities. Enjoying World Cup is good attitude by fan, but too much is as bad as too little. Chilean fan should learn stop concentrating on victory.

Class Discussion June 26th - fat

http://mynorthwest.com/76/2538057/Too-fat-to-drive-Firefighter-says-obesity-can-be-dangerous-on-road

In this article, a firefighter says he thinks that drivers who are fat can be more dangerous than drivers who are under the influence of drugs and alchol. Because if people are fat, their body size could worse their ability to control the vehicle.

Many people know that the danger of driving with drugs and alchol already, but driving eith fat is also dangerous. I think that people who cannot control their body and manage the vehicle should not handle vehicle by themselves. The government should make traffic law about regulating drivers who are fat.

This article tells us that it's benefit for your health to eat lunch away from your seats.
Eating lunch at right time and you could avoid be fat. Additionally if you eat lunch away from work, you could avoid back and neck pain, improve your memory with a nap, and make better your energy level with a lunch workout.
