17 Jan ARW

On this class, we learned about writing academic essay.
As I am not good at writing academically, this class is so useful!
However, determining the academic word is very difficult.
I can't see clearly which word is more academic...
For example, decide or determine, crucial or vital, and so on.
What is the difference between them?

I think knowing about English word deeply is the best way of solving this ploblem.
Therefore, I will try to research about root of word.

14 Jan Websites!

Today, we learned about how to make websites.
I have not made it beore, so I had no confidence to do it.
However, in order to survive today's IT society, the skill of making websites is very important.
Therefore, I must acquire it!!

And then, I have one question.
"What is the best way to get usefull computer skill?"
Just using computer? Learning about textbook? Being taught by experts?
I don't know which is best.

12 Jan

We continued discussing Bioethics. Mainly, we talked about human cloning.
I disagree with the conception of human cloning. If we sanction cloning, technique of cloning will be abused all over the world. For example, live humanexperiment.
Therfore, I think that humanbeings should restrict to use cloning.

However, nobody sees the cloned human. We don't know about real cloning at all.
People must consider seriously about this topic.

7 Jan ARW

Today, we learned about essay skills. Rab showed us "sentenceworks" to check the grammar.
I have not used this tools before, so I want to try it soon!
Howewver, because of the trouble of system, we can't try it.....

Also, we learned about "media education foundation".
I think that it is easy to understand the information through movies.

Rab taught us essay is like a song.
That is to say, we must compose essay by including other expert's opinion and make it persuassive.

Last Class 22 Dec

We had a last class in 2010. We discussed Fukuyama's article.

Even if he is a political scientist, he wrote the essay about Bioethics.
Why did he do such a thing? Is it reliable? What is the connection between politics and Bioethics?
I think Bioehics has the crucial right about the future of human beings and politics.
In other words, the distiny of politics depends on the Bioethics.
Biothics can easily decide the direction of human beings, fo example, human cloning, so people must seriously consider about this problem.
As a result, Fukuyama wrote the essay about Bioethics.

I am against human cloning.
If we allow it, the life value of human will decrease, and then the murder will increase.
I think that people should follow the Mother Nature.

Placebo 20, Dec

Today, we discussed the Bioethics.
I felt this issue is difficult to determine right or wrong.
In the discussion, I think that Placebo is ethical and necessary for the people.
This is because placebo can make patient well. Also, the work of doctor is to cure patient.
Therefore, doctor should use placebo when the doctor needs placebo for patient.
If placebo doesn't work for the patient, doctor will tell for the patient he/she uses placebo.
As a result, patient can keep calm.
I think placebo can affect good for the patient.

I saw the movie "The story of stuff".
It was very interesting opinion movie. I agree with the thought of recycle.
However, this movie highlights only negative points of US Economics.
I think this movie is very similar to propaganda.
Therefore, I need the carefull critical consideration about this movie.

Dec 17 Essay skill

Today, we learned about how to write good essay. Rab taught us a lot of things by using slide.

I think title of the essay and introduction are very important.
If they are not so interested, the readers will not read essay. Readers regard essay as boring thing. Even though the contents are important, first impression is also very important!
Therefore, I want to make good title and introduction to attract the reader's attention.
