euthanasia

Euthanasia

argument essay

     We all have to face a variety of decisions during our life.When it comes to the desicions of choosing live and death, do we have the opintion to choose death? this is a controversial topic people debate firecely.Euthanasia is acknowledged as a merciful killing.its the act of putting to death painlessly or allowing to die. Several cases show the evidents that euthanasia would be immoral.  

 

     During some special situation people believe that they have the right to choose death.while others believe that Euthanasia would be considered crime and immoral.

Berfore excucting Eurganasia,there are many aspects that need to be considerd and discussed thoroughly.Some people like to share their points of view form religion aspect ,other people like to share their ideas from finicial aspect.

 

    People for euthanasia say that voluntary euthanasia will not lead to involuntary euthanasia. They look at things simply as black and white. In real life there would be millions of situations where cases would not fall into either category.Some people may still want to live ,but they are involuntary forced to choose euthanasia.Such tragic would happen again and again

 

   What if an elderly person who can barely understand a word, is asked to sign a form to be killed. Is this voluntary or involuntary? what if a woman is suffering from depresssion and asks to be helped to commit suicide. One doctor decide  to help such people by killing them. She and anyone who wants to die knows he will approve such request. He make profit for euthanasia for $200 each.Does the law protect people from him?

 

Overall, Euthanasia could be immoral. Some people may use it as a tool to gain profit or get rid of finicial issue.Unless we could make a thorougth remedy and plans for all kinds of different situations. i suggest we should make the Euthanasia illigal.In short, I believe there are more honor and value to choose live  than to choose death.

Love is selfish

Have you ever read about the story of Romeo and Juliet, or watched movies or shows about Romeo and Juliet? Anyway, you must have heard about it and knew this is a great romantic story. Love is the most basic feeling of people. Love makes us being together, to built family and have baby. Many people agree that love is selfless, however, the truth is love is selfish.

Love is concentrated and exclusive. People pay a lot of attention to their lover when their fall in love. Their are concentrated on him or her, they become sensible of everything about him or her. Besides this, they feel angry and sad when they saw he or she is too close with someone else. They ask loyalty from their lover and will show their loyalty. They want to be the most important person of him or her. It is impossible for most of the people to share their boyfriends or girlfriends with someone else.

To the contrary of concentrated, love is also thoughtless. They will pay a lot of attention to their lover, but they may don't care about other's feeling. The best example is Romeo and Juliet, their family are enemies, but this cannot prevent them fall in love. Many people will sacrifice something of others for the sake of love. That's why there are many lovers choose to elope. That's also the reason of people die for love. They don't care about what their family think, the only thing they care about is their love and lover.

The result and purpose of love also show that love is selfish. The purposes and results of people's love usually are being together and get married with the people who they love.  
They want to possess their lover and stamp their lover by marriage. The marriage ring is like a claim that tell everyone this woman or man belong to someone, please hold off!

Some people think love is selfless. Some people can contribute all to their lover, even their life. However, if they do not contribute those things to their lover, they will feel suffer. They sacrifice themselves to get self-gratification, and to comfort their hearts. 

I know love is selfish, but love is still the most beautiful feeling in the world. It gives people passion and energy, teaches people sacrifice and protection, and let people's life more beautiful.

Argument

 Euthanasia
People for euthanasia say that only voluntary euthanasia will be executed.
In real world there would be some situations  which would  fall into  involuntary euthanasia
an elderly person in a hospital, who can barely read, is asked to sign a form consenting to be killed. Is this voluntary or involuntary?

Arguement

 

 

          Education and creativity

 

          I watched the presentation for Dr. James, he told the people the creativity is very important for children, and it is the basical for education. The parents need to give the child more chance to improve their ability for creativity.



TED Talk: The puzzle of motivation

I watched Dan Pink talk about the puzzle of motivation. At first, he started with the problem of candle, how to stick candle on the wall. He said normally people can think the creativity solution when they in normal situation. On the other hand, if they have higher incentives, it will led to worse performance. Also he gave an example of reward. I agree with him because I have my own experience. I have designed any kind of  art work since I was in high school. I usually designed thing at night because it's really quiet and I don't have to work with the time. Although motivation will come with the under pressure situation.

Argument

Education and creativity
Many of child are very talen but lots of them are ingore creativity.
And I watch Tom Peters's presentation, he was talk about Educate For a Creative Society.

Why we do what we do?

 

 

Why we do what we do?

 

According to him, first, appreciate the people not only understand them. Second, sometimes, people get failed and doing things with no motivation. In fact, some people when they fail to achieve their goals the reasons they says are time, money and technology. But all these reasons without emotions, resolve and creativity are nothing.

The futuer of media

We made media so important in our live . We feel disconnecated and alone from the world, if we are unpluged and do not have access to the enternet by any mean. Also,media show as to many cultuers to the level until we lost our identety.

    The argument of this man is the creativity and education. He thinks all of the have lots of talent, but we ignore this creativity ability. We need know how to development this talent.

She wants to paint God but the teacher told her you can't paint the god because, no anybody in the world know him  his face.

speaker's argument

the speaker mentioned that all children are very talented but such merit was wasted because education

the speaker mentioned that some people move to think, one example was a girl who was successful in dancing ballet

He said that "creativity as important as illiteracy'' that means the fact to have new ideas is essential for education.He said also that everyone has a talent but doesn't know how to develop this talent.

His argument is Eduction creativity. Also, he said each person has talent that  we should sport it . He uses some story to say people are different when they learn

Education

1. What is the speaker's argument?
-The speaker talked about the education and creativity. He said school make student able to read and write, but school can kill the student creativity too.


2. What facts does he use to support his argument?
-He gave an example of his son, and a little girl to support his argument.

argument

His argument is the children have a lot of talent, but we ignore them. the creativity is as important as the literacy, but the education in all countries look at literacy more.

argument

1. His argument is about all children have good talent, but we squander them and creativity is as important as literacy.

the lecture

According to the speaker every child has a talent but the most thing we didn't grow it up, we just squander them. The next thing he mentioned it is we do not guide them to be creativity in the literacy.

Sheep should be eaten by wolves

One day, sheep sued the wolves with the crime murder. They said that wolves killed many sheep and they want wolves to pay it. However, the silver wolf, the leader of wolves, refuted this statement. It said that they have to eat sheep and complained that sheep never docile enough for them to eat. There are always some wolves die in hunger, and that are the sheep's fault. The silver wolf counterclaimed sheep with the crime murder. It gave the court some reason.

The first reason is they need to live. Just like sheep need to eat grasses to keep alive, wolves need to eat sheep to keep alive. Grasses also have lives and they had never complained that sheep eat them. So there is no reason that sheep can complain or even sue wolves. If they want to do this, the first thing they have to do is stop eating grasses, this is the only thing that make their lawsuit reasonable.

However, there is a more important reason that makes wolves eat sheep. It is for the world's safe. Just think about wolves don't eat sheep, then what will happen? The number of sheep will keep increasing. Do you really think the increase of sheep is a good thing? Absolutely not! Sheep need food. The increase of sheep will certainly cause the decrease of grass. Obviously, the decrease of grass will result to desertification, many grassland will disappear. This will influence the nature very terrible. Nature has its own rules. It lets wolves eat sheep, and it has its meaning. Break one part of the natural law will bring horrible disasters to this world. It's sheep's fate that eaten by wolves.

What's your judgement if you were the judge?

The USA is a Good Place to Live

    

       I have been to the United States for 1 year. I think America is a good place to live for human beings. 

       The United States is a large region in global and has not many people in it. People in the U.S has enough space for living, they can live in a large room and have a garden in their house, and it is not crowd for living and traffic. 

       The U.S has a good environment for living. My first impression for United States is there havs a good environment. The street is clean, it is hard to see the garbage on the road. The sky and river are so clean it is better than China.
       All we know, United States has advanced technology and education system. It is the reason that many foreign people choice to study in U.S, the American afford them good environment to achieve knowledge.
       From what Imentioned above, the USA is a good place to live. People will have a good time in there.

Captain America shouldn't be a member of the Avengers

Captain America shouldn't be a member of the Avengers

I love to watch an action's movies pretty much, especially in the super heroes movies. The Avengers is the latest action's movies that I watched. It has a wonderful computer graphic, but the story is always the same ending.

My favorite heroes in The Avengers is the Hulk, he is the strongest guy in the movie. When he get angry, his body will turn green and getting bigger. Also, The Ironman and The Mighty of Thor are an awesome characteristic that I love too. They both have their own ability. The Ironman or Tony Stark, he is very smart, he created his own iron suit that can fly and shot. The Mighty of Thor, one of my favorite heroes, he such a powerful because he is a got from Asgard, the land of god. He has a great weapon in the universe name Mjolnir, also he can call the lightning storm which is really really cool!

Otherwise, The Captain America is one of the super hero in the Avengers team that I think he has nothing special except the 'shield'. I mean he is handsome, strong, and powerful, but without his shield he is nothing. Also, he can fight but not good as Bruce Lee or Mike Tyson. You can imagine if either Lee or Tyson has captain America's shield they must be better than captain America definitely.

Smoking is bad for health

                                   Smoking is bad for health

    Nowadays, more and more people smoking even more and more teenagers including high school students try to smoke. In my opinions , smoking is a very bad thing.

     Smoking can cause lots of illness, such as cough, have a sore throat. Even you will get cancer if you smoking for a very long time . Most of smoker know Marlboro( a kind of cigarettes),in China the designer who design the cigarettes boxes. They draw rotten lung on the cigarettes boxes to remind smoker smoking is really bad for your health.

 SMOKING  

I THINK THAT SMOKING IS A BAD THING BECAUSE IT LEADS SERIOUS HEATH PROBLEMS AND DISEASES SUCH AS LUNG CANCER THROAT CANCER AND SO ON.THE BAD THING AND TERRIBLE IS ALL THE DISEASES RELATED TO SMOKING LEAD TO DEATH BECAUSE SOMETIME THE DISEASES ARE INCURABLE.I HAVE ONE SAD HISTORY ABOUT SMOKING.IT IS ABOUT ONE FRIEND WHO STARTED SMOKING SINCE HE WAS COLLEGE.HE DID IT BECAUSE ALL HIS FRIENDS SMOKED.HE DID IT TO SHOW OFF .THE THING IS EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME BODY SYSTEM.HIS FRIENDS STARTED SMOKING BECAUSE HIM BUT HE DIED THE FIRST.THE MORALE IS SMOKING CAN DESTROY PEOPLE LIFE EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NEW SMOKERS.

a lot of assignments

Some teachers give the students a lot of assignments because they think that helps them to learn better and they practise very well. In fact, it confuses them. Also, the students do not have enough time to do their business in their day. How can the collecte between all these together. especially, when they have many classes'  assignments.

I always think there is noting different between holidays and the normal days. Day should be day. I can makes everyday like holiday if I am enjoy my time. Things changed this year. I became suffering on holidays.

Holiday, it should be a day that friends and family will get together. It is not just a day for people to relax, to remember something, to celebrate something. I never noticed about this before. I always don't care about it and just do what I want to do on holiday. To aware this made me suffer on holiday. I missed them. I missed my family, my friends, my mother's cookings, my father's words, my niece's crying, my friends' company. I missed all of these thing.

Be honest, there isn't a holiday I really like. Without them, my holiday can't be holiday.

Happy Al-Eid

         Anyone has religion celebrates, and about me and Muslims people we have two celebrations. They are Eid Al-feetir and Eid Al-adha, but today I will talk about Eid al-adha, because it was on last Friday. We went in the morning around 9 a.m. to pray. After that I went to my house, and I got enough sleep, because we will celebrate at night. I woke up around 6 p.m., and I went to Best Buy and bought new PS3. When I arrived home I saw Muslims students a lot of them Saudi and some of them international at my home, and my brothers asked me to go to our old apartment and get some dishes for cook Kabsah. The Kabsah is rice with lamb, and my brother cooked it for 2 hours.  We were at my house 18 students, and we celebrated with play some of Arabic music and play soccer games, hanged out, and spend wonderful time together. Around 9 p.m. the Kabsah was ready to eat, but we waited for some of us to come back. We started to eat the Kabsah at 9:30 p.m., and it was great. We had fun that day and I hope we will get much better than this celebration at our countries between our families.
