Discrimination

"Oh, Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I've walked in his moccasins."
In my opinion, this sentence means that we can never judge someone just through his/her surface, or because the different cultures, behaviors, religions…Everybody has the equal right to be respected by others. We can think that if we are the one who are discriminated by others, how we will be hurt. Otherwise, everyone has their own beliefs and behaviors. We can not say that something which we never heard, or never know before are wrong. Because there are always billions of things that we can never know. At the same hand, we also have a lot of behaviors that others are never know. It is possible that we laugh at others while they laugh at us. So, don’t be parochialism.

Population

1. How many children did your grandparents have? What about your parents? How many
children do you (want to) have?
There are 2 children in my father’s family and 2 children in my mother’s family. I am the only one grandchild of these two families.
Actually, I never think about the question that how many children I want to have. Because I am still young~~ lol~~~lalalalalalala
2. What is the population of your country? What impact does the population have on the
quality of life there?
The population in China now is over 1.3 billion. It brings many problems such as education, resource consumption, traffic jam, even the housing problem.
3. Has there been a significant population shift in your country from rural areas to urban
areas? If yes, what are the consequences?
There are more and more people who come from rural areas go to big cities for good education and better job opportunities every year. This situation lead to many problems. Lake of labour force is the most severe problem that faced by the people live in rural. As well, it also causes a lot of problems in big cities. People in big cities now are more difficult to find job than before. Children are not easy to have a seat at school, even at kindergarten. Traffic jam is an eternal topic in big cities...

Life of pi

This is a absorbing novel that touch me deeply. It is not only tells an amazing story, but also arouse readers thinking a lot. I like the journey part of this book even this part has a lot details that took me many time to read. Because this is a very positive part, which is talking about how Pi lives on the lifeboat and treats with the tiger. His faith and strong mind support himself alive. He never gives up and overcome his fear. Compare with the situation with Pi, I think I should have a faith that push me do better than now.

Research Topic

I read a short article about the different marketing strategies between H&M and ZARA. I think it can become an interesting topic, because everybody know these two brands and easy to understand what it is. Actually, I thought about several topics, but I was not sure “whether students should wear school uniforms” can write 12 pages and find any information from library. It is?
