Multiculturalism is becoming a big issue nowadays.
Today, I organized the pros and cons of multiculturalism, and I hope this post can be helpful doing your debate.
First, our country can develop because foriegners can fill out the insufficient part of Korea. For instance, Korea is planning to use african-americans to Worldcup athlete after changing their citizenship. African-American can be helpful to Korea's soccer match because they are good at running. However, the opponents of multiculturalism will say that our country can't develop more because there will be misconfutions between Korean and foriegners. Nevertheless, this can be fixed if we throw away the stereotypes.
Second, multricultrism can give a good reputation of Korea. For instance, suppose that a woman who came from Vietnam married with a Korean man. Then, theyhad a baby and when that baby became an adult, he went to Vietnam because it's his mother's country . He told everyone that Korea is a very good country, and may Vietnams believed in this. Like this way, Korea can have a good image from other countries. However, the opponents of multiculturism will say that Korea can have a bad reputation because people who are foriegners can also have a bad reputation. However, this can be stopped if we treat foriegners equally.
Early adopters are a group of people who buys new products earlier than others. Since they buy every new versions again and again, they also spend lots of money than others. Then, why are early adopters so pressured to buy newest products? I think there are two following answers for this question.
Firstly, they feel happy when they think, “I’m the first person to buy this product!” They will probably like the feeling of tension while competing to buy the first product. For example, suppose that you are an early adopter. Your friend is also an early adopter, and even if you don’t say to your friend “I am your competitor”, you will naturally feel tension to buy something earlier than your friend. Due to the fact that you can have something faster, you can probably like the tension when you compete, and that’s how you become an early adopter. Even though early adopter seems bad because they are always wasting money and time, there are suitable reasons for them to buy technological things earlier than us.
Secondly, if everybody starts to get a new product, you can also think “I should buy one!” This situation is becoming more and more common these days since the new technological cellphone comes out so much. For example, suppose that you bought Galaxy-S-1 on March. You thought that Galaxy S 1 will be the best phone ever for maybe 2years. However, suddenly after March, everyone was having Galaxy S 2 and you were the only one who were having Galaxy S 1. You just endured, but after one month, everyone was having I-phone. Naturally, you will feel pressure to change your cellphone and this will become a start to become an early adopter. Everyone could be an early adopter due to fast technology development. Therefore, I think there is nothing to say bad or good about early adopters because it is natural to become early adopter if you live in a technology-developed city such as Seoul.
To sum up, these are two reasons why early adopters are feeling pressure to buy newest things. Like we understand other people’s personality and characteristic, we should not only think early adopters are bad. We should understand them as a friend who has special hobby and interest on technological things.
Many scientists and ancient people predicted that this year, 2012 will be a year of human’s extinction. Due to this prediction, many people were scared that they will die just like other animals did. Although I do want to believe this happening, I think it can happen someday because of this two reasons.
Firstly, natural disasters can make us all die. Natural disaster’s power are very devastating. For example, if the earthquake happens, all the buildings people built will fall down and many people will die because of this. If a tsunami and volcano happens at the same time, people will melt or drown. In addition, the most dangerous part of natural disasters are that we can not stop, or ever predict when the natural disaster will come. Therefore, we can not ever prepare or run away from the natural disaster and the only way is to survive. If this natural disaster happen in the whole world, I am sure that human can extinct.
Secondly, people can die of environmental pollution. Environmental pollutions are things that people made it happen. For example, people throw away garbages anywhere and in factories, they throw away polluted water in clear water. If people keep doing the same thing, someday, people can all extinct by things we made it happen. If pollution happens seriously, firstly, plants will all die. Then, animals who eat plants will die and animals who eat these plant-eating animals will die. Finally, humans will die because there is nothing to eat without animals or plants. Therefore, I think humans have to work hard to not make pollutions anymore such as riding a bicycle instead of riding car.
To sum up, I think these two things can be a reason to make humans extinct. To prevent humans from extinction, I think there is only one way, to make the earth not angry.
Due to the invention of internet, our life became more comfortable. We could find information faster than before and also can work on internet. However, internet can sometimes be very addictive, disturbing and hurtful. Even though cyber polices are working on to find people who are doing bad things on internet, the problems of internet is never perfectly solved. Although the problem can never be cured, we can make these problems more better by these two ways.
Firstly, I think we should not use our nick-name in online chatting. Due to nick-
name using in online chat room, people sometimes do mean things to hurt others and even deceive their age and gender. This can be a cause to make a crime, give mentally hurtful damage to others, and even make others commit suicide. If we do not use nickname in online chat room, there is many advantages. For instance, internet bullying will disappear because they know each other. In addition, people will know that if you commit crime in chat room, you can have a harsh punishment. Therefore, they will have a higher credit in the internet culture. Furthermore, it will be more easier to manage customers because they are having a program that have real people.
Secondly, I think we should limit all the game production. If we prohibit all the gam
es coming out, there will be no people who are addictive to game. Then, we should make a school for people to get out of game addiction. Then, the society will develop more. For instance, lets say that 20 percent of Koreans are addictive to games. However, if they make a school to get them escape from game addiction and learn a new job, they can work for the society. Then, due to 20% people working more for the society, the society and the nation can develop more.
To sum up, we can try many different ways though internet’s problem can not never perfectly solved. I believe someday, there will be less people getting mentally hurt by internet, or getting addictive to internet game.
Today, more and more people are wanting to know their future. They mostly want to know about things such as university they could go, when will they marry and how would their life be like. However, is it really beneficial to know our future? I think knowing our future is not always beneficial for our life for these several reasons.
To start with, knowing our future can only cause anxiety. Even if the fortune tellers said a false idea, you will believe what fortune tellers said at last, and if you start to believe their predictions, you will be very afraid, scared and this will only be a obstacle in your life. For example, suppose that your fortune teller said “You will get a very bad score on college scholastic ability test.” If you hear what your fortune teller said, you will firstly try to think that the fortune teller you met was a trickster, and the thing that fortune teller said was not true. However, fortune teller’s prediction will make you frustrated and scared, and you will start to believe the fact finally. Then, due to anxiety, you will fail on the test and the thing fortune teller said can only be a obstacle in your life.
Furthermore, it can cause you to give up more often. Most people think that fortune telling can help us prepare the future and have more successful life. In contrast of fortune telling helping us to have successful life, it can lead you to give up more often. For example, suppose that the fortune teller said “You are not good at math. You will get less than 40 point on every test you take”. How will you act? Some people can ignore what fortune teller said and study more about math. However, most of the people will give up and do not want to challenge because they will get bad scores anyway. They will just believe in it and give up. Then, they will really get less than 40 point. This is how fortune tellers predict bad events happening to people, by making people give up certain things.
To sum up, knowing our future by fortune telling are not beneficial. Also, there is no evidence that fortune tellers are true. Believing our future what fortune tellers say is just ridiculous!
Imagine that you are trapped in an island with other boys and there is no way to get out and get care from the adults. How would you live, and survive with other boys? Well, you will first be very nice to each other because you were already adapted with the environment to get care, and protect others. Then, when you really need to hunt and kill animals to get meat, how would you kill it? When you first kill it, you will feel very bad to see all the bloods, but when it comes to an end, you will feel nothing about killing living things. Like this, it will be very terrible to be trapped in an island with only boys. However, this is what exactly happened in the book, " Lord of the flies".
If I briefly summarize this book, this is about a group of boys living in an island due to plane crash in a world war. At first, they were really nice to each other because they remember what society is, and how they had to act in society. However, after many moths, their living without parents became a somewhat celebration. They could do anything they want, and the rules they reminded at the first they arrived at island was all collapsed. Then, they become more like animals rather than human. They killed Simon, Piggy, and even tried to kill Ralph. The book ends with an officer coming back and being rescued.
While I read this book, I felt little bit scary about how young boys act. I couldn't imagine boys on the age 6~12 are killing each other, cutting heads and sharpening the stick. However, it was not really, really scary because I knew it was just a story. If it was real, I wouldn't have read this book since it was scary. The sentence, "Piggy's head opened and the stuff came out and turned red" was especially scary. I hate Jack because I think he is so selfish and like killing each other.
In conclusion, even though the book was little scary,I liked this book because it told me how "civilization" work. Due to this book, I could know civilization better by reading a story.
The music video, Gangnam style has been popular lately. Even now, Gangnam style is heard by different people all over the world, and it is becoming more and more famous.
Last week, Gangnam Style has won the second place in Billboard chart, and it is becoming so famous that it is in the hompage, "Spotify".
Due to this Gangnam style music video, Psy has been famous, of course. I coudn't believe that Korea became famous because of this one song, "Gangnam Style". Therefore, I became very curious about Psy. Today, I want to share my research to all of you guys and here it starts~ Please give an attention because this is a very interesting topic.
Psy's real name is Jae-Sang Park, and he was born at 1977. He is a musician in YG entertainment, and his name Psy comes from the word psycho. More specifically, Psy is an abbreviation of psych, in other word, oddball. He went to Banpo elemantary school, Banpo middle school,Sae-Hwa high school, and Boston, Berkely university. His song "Champion", "Bird" is also famous in Korea like Gangnam style, and recently, he made a new song named " Right now". Here's a music video of it.
I think Psy is a really good musician! Psy makes people excited, he is really a psycho!
I hope there would be another song like Gangnam style. That would be so interesting~
How about you guys? What do you think? Please leave a comment.
One day when I returned from school, I heard some very heartbreaking news from my mother. It was that my grandmother's dog, KiKi died because of cancer and when I first heard that news, I could not forget KiKi's eyes with tears, looking at me. Was the eye telling me that KiKi, herself was very sick and wanted to die peacefully? Thinking of this, I thought euthanizing pets is necessary if they are extremely sick.
Of course, for many owners and vets, euthanizing a pet will be one of the most difficult things we will ever do. As an owner, the emotions you feel at this time often may make it hard to think, communicate, and make decisions. However, even though you do not want to euthanize your pet, that pet will want to die peacefully rather than dying after suffering a disease. There are many other reasons why euthanizing is a better decision.
First, animals can die very peacefullly and you can feel better about it. Even though euthanizing your pet is a very hard and sad decision, many people feel more comfortable after euthanizing their pet. For instance, James Herriot said "Like all vets, I hated doing this, painless though it was, but to me there has always been comfort in the knowledge that the last thing these helpless animals knew was the sound of a friendly voice, and the touch of a gentle hand." Also, the owner of the euthanized pet also said "It was very hard decision for me also. However, after euthanizing my pet, I felt even more comfortable and relaxed because of the thought my animal died peacefully."
Second, euthanizing can be helpful for both owners and pets. It can stop pain, sickness and sadness for pets and give comfort to owners. For instance, suppose that your pet was very old, is not able to survive, and just spending day to day feeling pain. Wouldn't you be sorry for your pet that you cannot help anything except looking them with a sad, worried face? It would be better to allow your pet to die peacefully rather than seeing it with a worried face.
In conclusion, I think euthanizing is a better choice when your pet is very sick, and there is no treatment to cure it. Helping animals to die peacefully is also one way to love animals.
Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to introduce you a story about " Squirrel and the Acorn". Before I start, I want to show you a cute picture of squirrel holding an acron, and here it is. I think squirrels are very cute, especially squirrels holding an acorn. What do you think? If you like squirrels, please read my story even though it is very boring!
The Squirrel and the Acorn
Today was a busy day. I had debate, writing and yoga so I had to walk and learn all day long! I liked all of the classes except yoga because I'm not flexible. Even though I am not flexible, I had to do yoga to make my body flexible. I tried very hard to do yoga, and I think that was the main reason why I was really tired. I was so tired that I wanted to sleep, but I could not because there were many things on my schedule. I waited and waited for the time to sleep, but the time wennt so slow. Therefore, I decided to forget everything and sleep for a while(Maybe 30minutes). However by the time when I woke up, I noticed that I slept almost 10 hours. I was trying to go to the bathroom and wash my face, but I also noticed something very surprising! Can you guess what it was?
Well, If you are curious about it, I'll tell you. I was surrounded with lots of squirrels and the squirrels were shouting something I couldn't understand. Then, the squirrel who looked like a leader gave me a strange-looking thing. When I put that thing on my head, I could understand the squirrel's language They said that I saved their life, and I couldn't understand. What did I do yesterday? I was just tired of walking and learnining so I went to sleep. That's what I did, but how can I save their life? When I asked the squirrels, they said something but I couldn't understand even though I put the strage looking thing on. That was a mystery and if you know why, please call me.
Anyway, back to the story. The squirrels disappeared after giving me a two brownish acorn. I thought that the acorn was a present for me, and I never thought that it was something special. I always keep that acorn in my pocket without knowing it's use. But one day, I found the acorn's use!
I was losted somewhere, and I could not find my house. It was becoming dark, but I was still wandering around the street, looking for help. There was no people, houses, and animals around the street and I was so embarrassed. Without any thought, I just threw the acorn infront of me. When I threw the acorn, I felt that I was flying somewhere I across the sky. The last thing I saw was the glowing acorn, and I could still remember that now! The acorn was magical!
I have another acorn left in my house, and I will also use that when I 'm in danger, or somebody nearby is in danger. Now, I really want to shout out loud, "Thank you squirrels!"
This was all of my story, and do you believe it? Well, that belongs to your choice. If my story was boring, sorry for that, and have a nice day~
Have you ever killed an innocent living thing?
If you did, you should see this video, "Spring"
To give a brief summary of this video, this is about one child learning an important lesson from the monk. As you see in this video at the beginning, the child fastened a heavy rock to the fish, snake, and frog. He didn't knew that the thing he had done, can kill lots and lots of living things. While the child was doing this cruel things, the monk was watching. The monk decided to teach a child a lesson, so he tied a rock on the child's back while he was sleeping. When the child woke up, he finds out that the rock was on his back and tells the monk to get rid of it, but the monk said he should save the fish, frog and snake first if he wanted his rock off. He finds the fish, frog and snake at last, but he noticed a very shocking thing, that three out of two were dead! The video ends with a crying child holding the bloody snake.
Sorry that my summary was too long, but here's the point. What do you think the video was trying to teaching us? Almost all of you will answer that the video was teaching us something about life . This may be true, but. I think the video was giving us a lesson that there is nothing important than having an experience. For instance, the video showed a child regretting himself due to his experience. This means the video wants us to know that experience is the most important thing in life, and I think that it really is. There are several reasons of it.
First, it can make children understand better how the others feel.. For instance, I was very rude to my parents, and my parents were very disappointed about me. I thought that I did not did anything wrong, but my parents were misunderstanding me. I felt very sad and depressed all day long. However, I regret myself when I experienced being a mother for one day, and from now on, I could understand my mother better.
Second, making a child experience is better than the traditional method: hitting and yelling. For instance, suppose that you were being yelled by your parents. How would you feel? You will feel very upset and mad, so you will not regret. Now suppose that you were in the opposite situation. No one is yelling, or hitting at you. Instead, you are just experiencing it by being an other person. Even though you do not regret at the first time, experiencing can make you regret.
In conclusion, I think the video was giving us a lesson that there is nothing important than having an experience. Of course, traditional method can be useful at sometimes, but I recommend adults to make their child experience the same situation rather than using the traditional thing. Thank you very much for coming to my blog, and here's the video.

I hope you enjoyed my blog! Thank you for reading my diamante poems, and next time I will try harder to make my posts better.
Suppose that you were kidnapped by a stranger and sended to a children army. Once you arrive there, you shoul dkill your loving parents by yourself and do all of the hard works everyday. You should eat, sleep and learn horrible things at somewhere like a dungeon. Even though you want to escape, you can not. How would you feel?
You might want to die because if you die,you can feel no pain afterwards. However, rather than dying, you might try to imagine that this situation is not real and I was just making up this situation. Nevertheless, this is not a lie, and this is a horribly a heartbreaking reality in Uganda. Joseph Kony is leading this children army(LRA), and social media has been lighting up with a new campaign named Invisible children, aming to stop Joseph Kony. Their plan was to make Kony famous by a video, and recently, they made a video name "Kony 2012".
To give a brief summary of this video "Kony 2012", the video introduces the army of LRA, and how the children in LRA live like. They gave us a stroy of a children name Jacob. Jacob was only 13, but he had to experience so much things that was so hard for him to bare. For instance, Jacob saw his brother dead, because he tried to escape from the army. He said he wanted to follow his brother to the heaven, because he did not want to stay in the army. Like this, the video shows how Joseph Kony make children sad and depressed.
Everyone who had seen this video will think that they should catch Joseph Kony after the video was seen by many people over the world. However, the controversy starts here, "Should we make Joseph Kony famous by a video like this? Is this really the right way?" Some of you may answer "no" because you think that making a bad crimainal like Joseph Kony famous, is not ethical. However, we should not care what is ethical or not, infront of the situation children dying in pain. I think we should do whatever it takes to stop Joseph Kony, we should make a video clip of it and there are several reasons for it.
First of all, if everyone knows about Kony, it will be much easier to catch Kony. For instancce, think about this. You're friend and you were finding the lost thing. The situation was same, but the difference was that you find the lost thing by yourself while your friend find it with everyone. Who do you think will find the lost thing faster? Of course, your friend will find it more faster than you because she's worked with many people. Like in this situation, there's nothing impossible if every single person in the world collaborate each other to find Kony. To make everyone collaborate each other, we should first globalize this situation, and making a video clip is the best way for it.
Furthermore, globalizing Joseph Kony by a video is an effective method. That's because video can make people feel sympathy with the main character. If you don't understand why, let me ask you one question. What is more realistic between a book and a video? Probably, most people will answer that video is more realsitic because video has many sound effects such as people talking. Nontheless, books just have letters written on. Even though there is some pictures of it, those pictures does not talk and move. Therefore, videos are more realistic and we should use this method to globalize Joseph Kony.
Finally, if we make a video and show it to everyone, Kony, himself will be afraid. The video was seen by people in the world and someday, Kony will see it too. Kony will notice that many people are trying to find himself, and he will regret that he caused these things. Even though he tried to hide, he will think that hiding is not useful because everyone is trying to catch himself. Then, he will notice that nothing is possible for a bad criminal like him except saying sorry to all of the people in the world, and the members of LRA. Making a video can make Kony himslef regret.
In conclusion, I think we should do whatever it takes to catch Kony and globalize this event by a video. I thought that making a video was a best method to help find Kony because it can make people fee sympathy and collaborate each other. Also, it will make Kony, himself very afraid. Criminals like Kony should be catched! In Uganda, many children are feeling pain and you should help them. Everyone, you should participate in this Kony issue! Your small effort can save millions and millions of children in Uganda.
Thank you for your kind attention.
What are the three things you know to be true? Some of you might answer that English is fun while some of you might answer that math is more fun. Like this, my opinion can be different from what you think. Even though it is different, I hope you enjoy my essay and now, I will introduce the tree things I know to be true.
To start with, I think it is true that my family love me al lot, and I love my family too. I have several experiences with it, and I want to share it with you. Once, I was very sick and I could not even stand up because I had a severe fever. I thought everyone would not help me because I thought everyone hated me. However, my mom, dand and sister helpeed me a lot and I became cured. After I became better, I regreted that I thought everyone hated me. I really love my family now and I became more certain about this through this cam. Only a few day passeed in this camp and I miss my family a lot! I wish my family will visit me this week.
Also, I think it is true that my dream will never change now. My dream changed many times since I was 8 years old. I wanted to be an artist when I was 8 years old, and oce I wanted to be a diplomat, scientist, astronaut, inventor......etc. However, now I really want to be an autor who sends deep emotion to people in the world and I think my dream will never change from now. I will work hard for my dream by studying different kinds of things and reading many famous books.
Finally, I think it is true that I am happy when I'm playing with friends. For instance, when I talk with my friends, I feel very happy. When I was planned to go to my friend's house, I can not even wait! I like my friends, and there are several reasons. First of all, they give me a lot of help when I'm in danger. Also, when I am sad, they give me a comfort. Lastly, they help me when I don't know something such as math and science. For these reasons, I like playing with my friends.
In conclusion, these were the 3 things I know to be true. Did you enjoy my writing? I hope you did! Then, bye everyone!
