Outrage over prince's helicopter

The British army’s shortage in Afghanistan is getting more and more serious. Nevertheless, William got his driving license of airplane one week ago. After that, he drove the helicopter all the way to his girlfriend’s lawn.

In my opinion, it is a way of showing up instead of normal training. According to the government, it is said that William landed for only 20 seconds. Hence, it’s a good way to get used to different terrain. For this landing, it cost about one million NT dollars. What if this money can be used to replenish the equipment in Afghanistan? However, the truth is that he is a privileged few and is entitled to special rights. This incident has caused a controversial issue in the UK.

This is a very common phenomenon in every country all over the world. People who have higher social status are entitled to more privileges. I still remembered the shocking news in Taiwan two weeks ago. Ordinary citizens reported to police that they received creepy text messages for at least 20 messages. The police said, ’you are not dying yet, and there is no evidence showing that the sender will be murderer.’ Then the receiver’s mom was murdered by the sender because of multiple stabs on her body. How cruel it is. If the police is willing to crack down on the crime, the crime rate must plummet. Instead, they just fawn on anyone in an influential position. It’s time for Taiwanese government to think about this issue again

Summary: Should death penalty be abolished?

In this article, Penalty of death, from on-line website, Henry Ford first reports that people will not repeat their crimes and government can save more budgets under the policy of capital punishment. Second, he explains the advantage of deterrence. Third, Ford quotes a saying from Old Testament, ”an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Third, he makes readers think about the definition of “justice.” Sentencing murderer to death is so-called justice? Fourth, what if you are the executors of ending the murderers’ lives? Where’s your compassion and who should be responsible for executing them? Fifth, Ford brings pay-back issue up so that crimes are divided into two kinds, reversible crimes and non-reversible crimes, which cause different damages to victims. Finally, he demonstrates that life imprisonment is not expensive at all according to the illustration and he is for abolishing the capital punishment.

I am for abolishing the capital punishment. On the one hand, if they are charged with life sentence, they will have more time involving themselves into community services. Gradually, their value of exiting is not wasting money at all. Instead, they are able to repent of their sins and atone for their actions in the past. On the other hand, people who are supposed to execute murderers don’t need to be smitten by their conscience. After all, humans are born with compassion. In sum, murderers have relationships and interaction with their family and relative. They are like fetus who don’t have any perceptions toward this world. Hence, it’s not proper to charge them with death penalty. And there is some other better way, life imprisonment.

Should homosexual couples adopt kids legally?

In this article, Belgium allows homosexuals adoption rights, Belga reported that homosexual couples are allowed to adopt children in Belgium. In June 2003, the upper parliament passed a law legalizing the right for homosexual couples to marry. Furthermore, in April 2006, the Senate approved the bill, which homosexual couples can adopt children legally, so children are possessed of a genuine status that is fundamental to their development.

I was so surprised that there are so many countries in Europe legalizing the right of homosexual couples’ adoption such as Spain, the Netherlands, Wales, and England. Besides, after the marry right for homosexuals, about five thousand took advantages of this law, and live happily ever after. It is just as well that the Senator also enacts a law to protect children adopted by homosexuals. In my opinion, it is extraordinary to me because children should be treated equally and share their rights. After all, everyone is destined to be labeled due to the reasons of their parents. Above all, it is the most important for us to take more cares to homosexual people who just have different sex orientation from us, but they should share the same rights with heterosexual people.

Looking for love or lust? Your face gives it away

April 11: Is it the look of love — or lust? A psychologist and an anthropologist talk about a new study that suggests that facial features show whether someone is more interested in a “fling” or a long-term relationship.

3C killer- the answer to the question is I

If you always wonder about who is 3C killer, this ‘prize’ goes to me, Tim.
Well, why would I mention that I am a killer? I am going to explain my misfortune these days. At the beginning, I didn’t know how devastating I am to electrical products until this week. It dawned on me that everything is not merely coincidence. After I spent 20 thousands NT dollars, which is not including my computer screen, buying the main machine for my computer such as CPU, motherboard, and graphic card, I have fixed my computer for four or five times within one and half year.

For learning German well and listening to English all the time, I decided to buy a radio half year go, and it cost about 25 hundreds NT dollars. I can’t understand why it is not working right now. Some body please explains those subtle incidents to me.

My computer screen died again last month within the first year. After I repaired it, my main machine died again so that I needed to spend about two thousand dollars repairing it.

Apart from those miserable experience, something wrong with my internet happened while I took the TOEFL exam. Though I got full refund from ETS, I am still not happy at all. I need to contemplate all the weird things. Why was and am I all the time?

Finally, as everyone knows, you will get two different chargers, normal chargers and trickle chargers after you buy a new cell phone. My trickle charger is not working as sons as I bought it in the first month. Hence, I need to charge my batteries by opening the cover with my normal charger.

Through those supernatural experiences with the electrical products within the two years, I have no choice but to face my ‘luck’ seriously. How can I be so bad in relation to the electrical products? I will buy a new laptop soon. Nevertheless, I am very worried about my new laptop’s destiny. God~~~~~~~~~Please give me blessings at least for one time……

Essay 2 : Films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made?

Have you ever wondered about how you can learn from movies? Have you wondered about the extravagance in the movies? However, almost every movie has its precision behind it and conveys the authentic messages with its surroundings according to the latest statistics conducted by the American institute. The credibility of research is ninety-eight or so. Would this fact overthrow your concept? To be honest, I am convinced that people can learn about a country from watching its movies and reflect on their past mistakes because I have learned a lot by watching films. Die Zwilinge, Jersey girl, and The kite runner provides me with European, American, and mid-eastern heritage and inspires me in broader perspective toward life.

I realize how influential Hitler is to European history according to the film, ’Die Zwilinge.’ It’s a German film describing twins separated from each other. One treated as a maid is allotted into Germany living with her uncle; in contrast to one, the other lives with her parents in the Netherlands. After experiencing many formidable difficulties, they are reunited in Germany for the first in their life. However, both of their fiancés are the victims of brutal wars at that time. A Jewish is dead in the concentration camp because of the inhuman genocide; an Austrian general is dead because of the truce never coming. With my complicated historical elements, twins never forgive each other until the last sleep of them. Owing to the fact that this is German film, it galvanizes me into learning German and enhances my horizon to understand another different culture. War is the most devastating thing in the world, especially genocide that causes tremendous casualties who shouldn’t be involved into war. Even worse, that war shattered many family’s hearts into pieces either German family or other intruded European countries. The twins are the best example, demonstrating that the relentless war breaks their dream of reunion.

I learn a lot of American cultures and life issues through the film, ‘Jersey girl.’ Trinke, playing a leading role, suddenly loses his beloved wife, dying of metrorrhagia, and he has no choice but to take care of his daughter alone. He is fired because he can’t accept the sad and startling news of the death of his beloved and mess up all of his works. Besides, he needs to encounter more challenges at the same time such as being a good father for his daughter and being a good son for his father. After his daughter is nice years old, he knows it’s about time for himself to open his mind and allows others to walk into his life apart from his daughter, his beloved. Finally, he is struggling whether to get a well-paied job in New York or to stay in New Jersey with his daughter, father, and Susan who is like sunshine on his cloudy sky. This film reminds me that how hard I was when my grandma passed away and I also had the same reaction as Trinke did. For example, I didn’t want to study anymore s and suffered from insomnia for the heart-breaking new. Everything is in chaos and I can’t resist the unrelenting destiny. It’s just as well that my religion helps me get over the hard time in my life. After I know life is full of fickleness, what I need to do is seize the day to savor every minute I have now.

I finally understand that the abundant mid-eastern legacies with the cinema, ‘The kite runner.’ This movie proceeds in chronological order. Amir born in a rich family is the main spotlight that settings change with him, so it provides the audience with plentiful authentic atmospheres there. Hassan born in a slum is a servant for Amir. Both of them are best friends ever, but Amir never admits while his friends are next to him. However, it ends up startling me that Hassan and Amir are siblings because his dying father revealed the cruel truth. After all, monogamy is highly stated that if people break this rule, they will get capital punishment for impure intercourse. Due to his conscience about what he has down to Hassan, he risks his life to go back his mother land, Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban regime, so he can make up for Hassan by saving his son leading a miserable life. Actually, I originally read this novel, which is an assigned textbook for American college students. Afterward, I watch this movie adapted from the novel. In my opinion, I really admire Amir’s courage because he is not necessary to go back to Afghanistan. To get rid of guilt at Hassan, he decides to face the similar challenge again and do his best to solve the problem though he might take a risk losing his life. This determination inspires me a lot. I didn’t work on my task until it was the deadline that I must hand in. If the task is too hard for me, I would rather let it be instead of facing it. However, this film changes my outdated concept; I have become more ambitious on everything and endure every challenge to the end. Thanks to this film, I turn a new leaf in my life and know more about the mid-eastern cultures.

In sum, watching movies can expand one’s horizons and enhance one’s thoughts. I have learned a lot of exotic cultures, reflected my past mistakes, and developed my good habits. I am the one of the beneficiaries of the films. As a result, I don’t agree that watching movies is time-wasting. Instead, movies make people more mature and play an import role in our society now. I can’t overemphasize the importance of movies.
