Advertising-Kureha

One day, I was walking a street, and I saw a one advertisment. It said "if you buy a new cellphone right now, you can get a tablet!" I was interested in that advertising so I decide to go that shop. However, shop clerk said "Actually, you can get the tablet, but you have to add three optional plans" I was shocked! I thought if i buy a new cellphone, I can get the tablet for free. I think advertising is harm us because it has a lot of lies.

First of all, I think advertising are fraudulent. According to the book, food advertising are surrounding our town. Those food photos look so delicious. When I saw a humburger advertising, I had a good anticipation. I wanted to buy it. However, I got the food, it didn't look delicious. Also, advertising uses tricks. For example, food stylists use needle and thread to sew turkeys because food companies want to sell more. Do I want to eat sewning turkeys? No! I can't eat sewning those.

 Additionally, I don't trust advertising easily because some false advertising steals my individual information. Some advertising entertains me. It has funny pictures, memorable sounds and good words. However, it is sometimes dangerous. For example, When i was high school student, I filled in my individual information on online book store. It said "you can read all books for free!" so i filled. However, I filled that site before I received too many e-mail. It was annoying, and I was afraid.

Totally, I don't trust advertising easily, and I think we have to know what kind of advertising is dangerous. Also, if we need to fill in individual information, we should stop one time and think advertising is true or false. So, now, can you distinguish the real thing from fake?

Helping is good for us- Penny

    I have seen many news stories about people helping each other. For example, in China there was a child swimming in the river. Suddenly, he injured a tendon. His friends shouted out very loudly, and a man jumped into the river without hesitation and saved this child. Have many news reported with this man was very brave, because the river was very fast, he might have ended up dead, but the man was not afraid. In my opinion, helping other people is normal for a number of reasons.     First of all, helping other people can make the helper delighted, because helping can give a person a sense of achievement. Some scientists believe when people helping others, their pleasure centers are active on a brain scan. So this is a reason of why people helping others. Another factor is that they will say thank you and give a smile. Let me hypothesize, if I helping someone but he not say thank you for me, I will feel disappointment. So I think others response is also important.     Second, when I was a child, the teachers taught me to helping other people is important. In ancient China, has a famous writer named Mengzi. Most Chinese have read his book when they were a child. According to Mengzi, Man’s nature is good at birth. So his thinking influence many Chinese prepare helping other people. Also, my parents like helping some ones who needed help, and they want me to be an altruistic person. All children like to imitate their behavior, so parents and education can also effect why do people helping each other.     Finally, helping people can bring benefit, because we live in a common community, it is complex to explain why should people helping each other. We rely on each other. For example, if I have some trouble I can not figure out bu myself, I will ask for help from my family, friends or a stranger. If they help me, in another time I will help them. Humans are like a mirror. If you give the mirror a smile, the mirror will give you the same smile. This means if I help others, other people might also do same thing for me.

The Sound Of The Sea-Tzu Chin

Few weeks ago, my friend and I had planning a trip. But after we decided to go a place which we always want to go for a long time, we found out that this place was destroyed by a typhoon on August 8, 2015.

        This scenery located at Hsinchu, Taiwan and it has a beautiful name, The Sound of the Sea, some people also call it “The Road To Heaven”. When you go down this road, you will feel you are surrounding by ocean and only thing that you can hear is the sound of the sea. It is how the name comes from. Actually it is just an embankment, it had been used to transport some materials which can make windmill. The Sound of the Sea is famous for sunset view. People usually will search the time of high tide and sunset on the Internet before they go there.

        However, on August 8, 2015, there was a typhoon invasion of Taiwan. It cause 7 people death, 5 people missing and 402 people injure. The Sound of the Sea also was destroyed at the same time. By the way, August 8 is Taiwanese father’s day, it should be the day that family get together to expression their appreciation to their family members.

        This event reminds me of one thing, that is nothing in the world will be forever. People always have excuse to stop themselves to do what they want, for example, people usually say when I have a vacation, I will go somewhere; when I have free time, I will read this book; I will tell my mom I love her so much on her birthday. Nevertheless, people never achieve what they say. We will never know when the people or things that we love disappear, maybe they gone because of a scourge, an accident or a disease. So just do what you want to do immediately. Do it before too late and don’t let ourselves feel regret in the future.

It's important to celebrate our own cultural celebration--Hatsumi

 Recently I think Japan is bringing in too much stuff from America. One example is celebration in America. Each country has their own celebrating day. In America, Thanksgiving,Halloween,Easter and etc.
 In Japan we have Hinamatsuri,Children’s day,Setsubnn and so on. Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival) is an occasion to pray for young girls’ growth and happiness and most families with girls display dolls for the Doll’s Festival called Hina-ningyo. Children’s day is a celebration for children’s happiness and to respect their individual.Setsubunn is a day children can throw roasted beans outside of the house to ward off evil spirits and other misfortune. In some families, an adult might put on a devil's mask and approach the children. The devil is pelted with beans until he leaves.
 However recently Japanese started to celebrate Halloween and Easter. Even though a lot of Japanese started to celebrate it, they don't know what thry celebrate for and why it is celebrated. All they want to do is wear costume and take picture and that's it. They just want to do what people do in America.
Not only celebration but some fast food restaurant or other food stores. For example Taco Bell,Krispy Kreme,Wendy's and etc. Each of these store’s first day to open in Japan was so crowded that people had to wait for more than 1 hour to buy these fast food. I think it is good to be interested in different country’s food but what is bad about Japanese is that we have an inability to maintain interest in things. This causes some fast food stores to decrease the sale after few month from the open day so a lot of those restaurant closed and made the different American restaurant and close again and this cycle is going on and on. I think this cycle is wasting time and money very much. I always think it's better to make one good Japanese restaurant and work hard to keep it for a long time.

 I really want Japanese to give attention to their own culture. A lot of young Japanese does not celebrate our own traditional celebration these days.
We need to celebrate our own cultural celebration.

Thank you for everything Momoka

Unfortunately my life in California is going to be finished soon. Just three more days left. I can't believe that two months has already passed since I came to California and I don't want to think that I have to leave here. Looking back this two months, I've experienced many more things than I expected. I've stayed with my host family and learned not only American culture but also Mexican and Filipino culture. Those all surprised me and I was impressed by them a lot. Also, sometimes I faced to some problems which I had never experienced. I had a difficult time staying in America. But my friends who are in my program and in my country always heard me and encouraged me. Moreover, I could go to school and focus on studies because my classmates always say hello to me and talk to me with smile. The time when I talked with my friends and classmates helped me. I can't thank you them enough. Furthermore, I had studied bible for five months in Japan. And one of my friends in the church introduce me to person in church in Riverside. And I could meet awesome people in Riverside.  And one of them at church in Riverside invite me to join bible talk at UCR. So I had gone to main campus every single Wednesday and Thursday to join bible talk for this two months. Even though my English is not perfect, they always talk to me and are kind to me. That are fill of love and warmth. How wonderful they are!!! 

After this quoter, I am going to take two weeks program to study Disney hospitality. I'm really excited because I can meet people from other countries in that class and prepare for working at Walt Disney world in Florida. . To be honest, I'm a little bit nervous about what happens next after this quoter. And I'll really miss my lovely friends who I met here.  But I believe that I can do my best for everything and achieve my goals in this program with this amazing memories in California. And I hope that I can meet them again with smile and talk with them about many things which we will experience from now on!!! I want to say thank you to all of people who I met here. Thank you so much for everything!!

Affects of video games on children mohammed attar

Video Games is a new creation in the 20th century it was founded by some Japanese companies namely, Sega, Attari and Nentendo however scientist are finding the side effects of Video games on children by testing it on them or see how it effects there educational practices. Video games is getting more and more popular in the Computer Gaming Industry moreover, there are 800 million playing online 50 million are from the States and 100 million playing offline. ”According to the university of Wisconsin Tech professor Linda Hughes states that  video games it is mostly harmful for children, they started to play dramatically in the last ten or few years due to the new addictive high quality graphics and the new game plays”. There is a controversy among different people about whether videos games is harmful and effecting our children or does it have a major effects on children. I think that children are being negatively affected from video games which cause several mental issues such as not focusing, not having a strong memory and they gain aggressive behavior or mental issues by playing gun games or violent games that is not sutable for kids under 18.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The first and foremost reason, is that video games have a negative effect on children by affecting their health in several ways.First, Video games can affect their metabolism by making children forget their normal meal time.For example, Call of duty is the most addicting gun game so the more kids kill the more they play they can end up playing 10 hours without eating a meal and if they eat it will be junk food so they can continue playing. Moreover, playing Video can affect also the brain by not letting kids focuing in their studies and memorizing.For example, "According to Dr Gaven Brooks from they Mayo Clinic states that kids are not getting good grades just like the old classes and this contributes to the fact that they play 9 to 11 hours of video games in a day. Video games can affect peoples eyes by the bad affect of negative waves on poeples eyes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Moreover, the second reason is that playing video games can affect children's time table because video games are a waste of time and money. To illustrate, once I had a dental opointment but I forgot about because I was playing addictive video games. There is a study in University of Yale about how wastefull is video games and it will not help u spend ur free time wiselly and in a good way due to the fact that video games make people fel that time fly’ when people play video games.                                                            .                                                                                                                                                                           . On the other hand the opponints think that playing video games is far to healthy and it helps people foucsing intheir normal daily life by playing video games one hour a day. To illustrate, they are trying that if people have a tome for playing they will do good at work or school. ”According to Dr Preston Brooks from Riverside community hospital states that people must have some time to waste before working because it will heal the brain from hard working and giving it a brake from job, school and its also good to have time to relax or medicate from everything. Moreover “According to Frank sentra states that people should work hard and relax for long term due to the hard work that the people put effort on.                                                                                                         .                                                                                                                                                                        .I admit that people video games does not bad affect people on their daily life and it is does not affect peoples health’s but it does not mean that it will not waste time.                                                                                                                       .                                                                                                                     .To put the issue into prospective, I think that kids should play lesss video games due to the huge affects that it has on kids and people should limit their children on playing video games because it is more cogent to play less video games .

economics problems

Today, the world economics are unstable. People have a difficult life, they have to struggle for surviving. They suffer the various of painful things which make them weakness, and have a negative attitude face the future. Because of the economic crisis, they would eat more junk food and less healthy food. And there have several reasons why people choose that.

First of all, people think eating junk food and less healthy food can save their time. The healthy food spend too much time to compare the benefits from the food.  For example people need more time to prepare for the finding new jobs or keeping in the position, because the economic crisis cause many companies to go bankrupt, and have to fired some people to make the company run on. So they worry about how to survive in the social, and think about how to earn money for making alive.

Secondly, buying the junk food and fewer healthy food can help people or families save money. Because all these food are cheaper than the normal food which sale in the restaurants are really expensive. To illustrate this, the junk food can provide the enough energy for our body and people can use the same amount of money buy more junk food to eat. People even don’t care about whether it is good or bad for us. They don’t know how future would be, so they have to save money for the future if they don’t have income anymore.

Finally, people consider choosing junk food and less healthy food can let them pay more attention to think about other things. Usually, the junk food don’t have too much species, so people can choose it easily and quickly. For instance, people will be careful when they what to eat something health. The junk food are treated as a food which can satisfy human’s hungry stomach, so any of them are the same to people. It would not make someone feel difficult to choose one. In their brains, just have one belief is to survive in the social economic problems.

The economic crisis would cause people don’t care about themselves’ healthy, they choose to eat junk food and less healthy food. Because people think it can save their time, money and have energy to focus on the others. In this disaster, people more worried about the life, they feel more helpless.

Is Retirment at 60 age good or bad ...Asma

No one can cast a shadow of a doubt on the fact that coworkers have to leave their work when at older. There is a controversy among different people about whether employees should at 60 age. I am  an advocate the allegation in question they should retire from their job at later age.

The first and foremost advantage of the issue that people should retire their works at 60 years old  that is the work would  allow to hiring new employees at work . Moreover other people able to get a lot of job. If the government reduce this age, the young have more opportunities for well-paid job. This way will be a method to solve problems of unemployment in their community.                                                                                                                                           

                In addition, another virtues of the issue in set furth that is the work have many individuals are young . In fact  they provide many other activities on account of the fact that they have some struggle where younger person does not as older person have competitive to achieve their success. Also, they capable of doing their task easier. Younger generations have major benefits, they work faster, and are stronger than the elderly who are work slowly regarding to age.                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                 

                On the other hand, one of the most important demerit of the nation foregoing that is employees feel bored however, they will have the empty in their lives. They wonder how they fill them days, they spend mostly time in sleeping or watching TV. This can be illustrated by the fact that outgoing person usually talk with many people in his work so if he retire he will feel lack in his life.                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                          

To put the issue into perspective, I am supporter of that employees should retire at later age, on account of the fact that, in my opinion, the advantages of the foregoing idea far outweighs its disadvantages. I concede that some people will feel bored and then feel lack in their abilities, but they can spend their free time in another activities such as playing sport that is very entertainment for them. Also , learning to do something for their self.
    

People Worry about Their Appearance - Daniela

People live in a world where beauty take place in their daily activities. From a young age, children are taught to be attractive. People think that a good looking person is responsible for many advantages such as getting a job or making friends. Therefore, people are obsessed about their body image. There are many causes of why people worry about their appearance and the two of them are influenced by social judgment and self-doubt.
The first cause of why people worry about their appearance is social judgment that are created from making a good impression, media, and friends. First of all, people around the world are making a judgment on the person from the first impression they saw in him. A person always tries to be attractive to make a good impression. Also, people think a lot about their body image and how they could give a good idea about themselves. For example, many people are in downtown, they see someone with a black suit and a nice tie and shoes, so they immediately say he is a business man because of the first impression that man give to the others. In addition, many people have watched a lot of media, and some of them look up to an actor or actress as perfect person. Thus, men see an actor with an excellent body, thin, tall and strong, they try to be like him, and girls also do the same. To give an example, as a child I watched a lot of animation from Disneyland about prince and princesses and how a handsome prince choose the beautiful girl to get married from her. Finally, friends are always around us, we believe them. For a person who listen to his friends will do anything to satisfy them. Also, friends always give a suggestion about what clothes they should wear or what hair cut they need to do. For instance, I often ask my friend to help me choose my clothes, I ask him if I look good in this clothes or not. My friends also give me an advice to be more attractive. As a result, I always asked my friends if what I wore is good or not.
The second cause of why people worry about their body image is self-doubt  which results from our conscience, relationships, and obsession. First, people always judge themselves. Their consciences is not satisfied. For example, they stand in front the the mirror and they told themselves what if I had a small belly or I was taller what would I be if I had blond hire. For instance, I do not think that I am a handsome guy. Sometime I think that I am below the average and I am ugly but that rarely happens. I know that is just a hallucination. Moreover, people think of a good relationships. Each of them has a dream to get married, but they always tell themselves what if my partner would not accept me because I am fat or my friend would not walk with me because I am ugly. As result, people always abscessed about their appearance. As another illustration, each time I approach a girl I feel that she would not talk to me because of my loos. I said maybe if I look cool she will talk to me. Furthermore, some people are too obsessed about their appearance. They tries their best to be perfect. As an example, we saw girls work hard to lose some bounds of weight by doing stress diet which could be dangers for her health. Also, some guys spend a lot of many in clothes and makeup to to be in a good body image.  
In conclusion, people worry about their body image because of two reasons self-doubt and social judgment. I think that people need to be more confident about their body and they should accept what they have. Also, people should look to a person who lost his skin in a fire or someone who born without legs. For example, there are many people wish if they have what you are are bored of.

tea ceremony-Yoshi

     In your country, what kind of tea do you drink? Coffee? Black tea? Chai tea? Or green tea? Japanese usually drink green tea. And it has very long history. So I’d like to tell you about green tea and a history of tea ceremony.

     At first, have you seen tea ceremony? A woman who wears “Kimono” whisks a bowl of green tea. I believe you have seen this scene. Basically, making green tea is very easy. Put a scoop of Matcha powder and pour boiled water in a bowl, then whisk them. It’s so easy. However, this ceremony has so deep and huge histories. It came from China in 700s. Then one Japanese monk established tea ceremony as courtesy and art. Since then many people learn tea ceremony and extend it. Therefore, there are a lot of way to make green tea. Each way has different process to make a tea, how pour boiled water, when they bow, how they open Matcha container, and how they whisk the tea. My mother have been learning tea ceremony for 20years. But she is still learning a lot. I also had learn a few years. Surprisingly, we don’t have any textbook for learning tea ceremony. It’s been succeeding by oral instruction. Thanks to the oral instruction, it’s taken care of so carefully.

     So, tea ceremony is not only about making and drinking green tea. Usually the tea party has at special Japanese traditional room. At the room, we hang Japanese calligraphy on the wall and put flower arrangement. Both of them are also Japanese art. And each season, we put calligraphy and flower and tea bowl which indicate the season. For example, when we have a tea party in spring, we have a flower arrangement with cherry blossoms, and a bowl too. These explain means, tea party require us a lot of knowledge of Japanese traditional culture.

     Basically, tea ceremony is look like formal. Actually, yes. Thus we don’t have many people who have attend a tea party even Japanese. Now, I brought some green tea tools from Japan. So, if you want to try green tea, you can ask me anytime.

Mathematics, Fatimah

Mathematics

Nowadays, education has become a necessity for the development of society. There are a lot of subjects such as Art, Chemistry, physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Business Administration. As we know Mathematics is considered the most important science because a lot of science depend on it, such as Astronomy.  Also, it uses in commercial accounts and measurements such as area and length. My major is Mathematics. I like it because I enjoy solving equations and like to create new way for solving. In addition, Math helped me to perform calculations. Furthermore, it helped me to gain precision and organization in my life. Because it has numerous methods to solve equation, this subject helps us to innovation. There are many people do not like this subject because they think it is difficult to understand. I believe that it has some methods which we need it to solve mathematical equations. For example, I studied it four years and I noticed that there are the same results for one equation. I was a math teacher in my country and I taught students some of the mathematical sciences such as Statistics, Calculus, Algebra, Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis. I remember that I felt happy when I helped my students to understand some difficult equations because from my point of view, I think that great teachers should enjoy helping their students at any time. I know that, there are some teachers do not care whether their students understand or not because they think that they are not responsible for their student’s understanding. In my future, I want to get a PHD degree in Applied Mathematics because this is my dream when I was a child. Because of my biggest dream, I came to the United States to learn English language as a second language. Then, I want to get Master’s degree in Math. I think that studying second language is not so easy because it takes much of time to learn new vocabulary and pronunciation and learn four significant skills, such as speaking, listening, reading and writing. For instance, I have learned English language one year and I learned how I speak with a foreign person and how I wrote a good essay.

 In the final analysis, Mathematics is significant subjects for some reasons. It helps us for thinking to solve the problems. Also, it is very important for calculation. I want to achieve my great goals which I made them when I was a kid.       

School want stop sports injuries- Penny

     I have discover some young athletes have heat stroke and concussion in school. So the school are setting some rules to prevent athletes overuse their bodies. In fact, if students  appear heat related illness and concussion, it will bring about memory loss and distraction. This is a serious question should us to figure out. I have three approaches  can solution how to prevent sports injuries in school.

     First of all, some schools can trying to prevent young athletes overuse their bodies, because I know school have many difference sport teams. Everyday the team need training. For example, in the summer, some basketball player have hard training in the playground. They are repeating the same motion many times, such as pitching and running. They can get heat-related illnesses from the heat. Also overuse body will cause their bone breaks and muscle will tears. It is difficult to recover in a short time. So that is why all schools should limit students overuse their bodies. According to the article, about schools trying to stop sports injuries. I think this is a good way to avoid it.

     Another way is school can hire an athletic trainer on staff. Because the athletic trainer know how to prevent sports injuries and students do not know when they need to leave the sun. In 2001 a football player died of heat stroke. So that is why school need an athletic trainer. For example, he can make a special plan for each player and every practices. An athletic trainer is a good way to avoid sports injuries. According to the article, about schools trying to stop sports injuries

     Finally, I think all schools claim have a gymnasium to give students a good environment for train. Students have training in the hottest days of summer. The best way is they can training in the gymnasium, because there can cover the sun and can use air condition to keep cool. Then sport team can keep training in the hottest day.

     Overall, these three way can prevent many sports injuries. Also, all athletes can improve their knowledge about how to training in a right way. School sport team can teach students how to prevent . The most important thing is students safe. We should limit they overuse their bodies and I believe will have many good athletes in the future.

Solutions of Financial Problem For Married People - Rawan

     Why is the divorce rate on the rise? What is the biggest problem that causes the divorce? When researchers looked at this problem, they discovered that a lot of divorces are related to financial problem. So the weakness in  the financial state makes their lives complicated. Today married people have a problem in their lives because they have lack of money, and there are three solutions to solve the problem.

     The first and foremost solution to solve the problem is that they must try to earn extra income by working temporary job. For example, when the husband finishes his job at 4:00 pm, he can work part-time job such as accountant in the supermarket, so he will earn more money to help his family. Also, in the weekend, the wife can clean  people's house or she can work as a babysitter. When they worked an extra job, they could earn more money to help them to avoid the financial problem.

     Second, they should save a little of money for their salary. Sometimes they have an emergency financial problem such as car accident. For instance, they can save $100 each every month, and leave it in saving account bank. So when they have an emergency situation, they can use it.

     Finally, the most significant solution to solve the problem is that they must manage their money very carefully. If the wife and her husband are working in a job, they should divide the spending. For example, the wife pays for their children's needs, and the husband pays for their car. But for their home, they must make a special budget for it because it costs a lot of money. Every year, they must change the budget that depends   on their income whole the year. As a result of managing their money, they could avoid the occurrence of the financial problem.

     In conclusion, people who have been married have trouble with money, and there are many serious solutions to solve it. Earn extra income, save a little of money and manage their money are some of them. Solving financial problem for married people leads to successful marriage.
