Romanian Embassy

Hi i'm back after a long period of rest! Well not really rest, but nevermind.

This time i will be talking about the roman embassy guy that knocked down 3 people, killed one and sent two into coma. I feel that immunity should NOT even be considered in these type of cases. Why should he be given immunity? If we think of it in simple terms, it is not that hard to come to conclusion.

First let us see the problem, people are deciding if the guy should be granted immunity. But, he was the one driving, he was drinking, and he killed somebody. He killed somebody, took another life. Isn't the outcome the same? Why must we think that " he killed someone in another country"? It is still another person, on this planet, and that man had absolutely no right to take his life, especially because of drink driving.

Obama and His successes

Well today i'm going to talk about Obama. We all see newspaper articles about how Obama is failing miserably. However, the moment he hits a breakthrough, like the nuclear arms cut down, everyone goes "wow, what a successful guy!".

Thus I feel that we should change the way we look at him. As citizens, we should not see short term. We cannot expect a president to make quick massive changes in such a small amount of time, especially at this period of time. When Obama came into action, he had to deal with the economy crisis, and he certainly cannot fix the problem in a matter of days. Look at our current economy, it is still so shaky. To expect him to make the world a lot better in a matter of months would just be plain unreasonable of us to do so.

We should look long term. After a few years, we then look back and think about what he has really done so far. When we think about it, we should put aside all negative points first, as it will derail us. First look at all the good things he has done, like draft up the plan for economic recovery, saving the banks etc. Then we look at what he has done wrong. Does the good outweigh the bad? or vice-versa? Only then can we judge if a president has truly done his job or not.

Obituary for Mrs Dubose (character from TKAM)

E-Learning Task B ( Music )

Poem on Tom Robinson:

A mockingbird has just died,
Died even though it had done no wrong.
No wrong deserving of even a single scolding,
Yet it was mercilessly killed.

It was merely flying through the forest,
Singing with all its heart for us.
It had committed no sin,
Causing no inconvenience to us.

However when the time came,
Someone wanted to hunt.
A mere act of bragging,
To show off to his friends.

A target he needed but could not find,
One that was hard to shoot and could not hide.
 And when that little mockingbird happened to be there,
With a sound of a shot it dropped dead on the floor.

My MI Profile ( Multiple Intelligence )

I feel that the test overall was quite accurate. I always had better body coordination than others ( told to me by others) and I was usually able to visualize scenarios etc. However, i feel that music should be higher than it is shown. I had always been able to remember very well the music that i listen to, only after 2 or 3 times. As for the people smart i kind of concur, but i am quite surprised that it is that high as i am not exactly the very sociable type of person. Thus I feel that this test somewhat effectively pointed out my weaknesses and strength in a few mere MCQ questions.

Friends

"How do you know who your real friends are?" is one question that i would love to ask popular kids my age. Real friends cannot be seen at first sight. Like all of us, there is more to us than meets the eye.




There are many types of friends. Some be around you when everything is good, no troubles , no nothing. Real friends are ones who are willing to suffer with you, going through good and bad. When you have a flaw in your personality or you made a mistake. They will not turn on you or make you look bad. They would tell it in your face nicely and try to get you to change. '



Usually, the best way to find out if someone is your real friend or not, is to go through hard times. Those that leave are fakes. Those that are with you to the end, are the ones who deserve your friendship. Popular kids have many friends, but how many have REAL friends? Surprisingly, from most experiences read from books, most real friends of popular kids are their best childhood buddies. Going through long times together are the long term ways to see real friends.

Technology

Today i will be talking on technology. Do we control technology or is it the other way round?


To me, i feel that in some way technology has control over us humans.



Technology can be represented by revolutionary inventions such as computers, handphones, iPhones etc. Without us knowing it, we have already been under technology's control, as we have depended too much on it. For many teenagers, handphones are the gateway between them and others, and that they could not live without it. We find ourselves at great risk if we did not hav traffic systems , banking systems etc. Our whole world would fall into techno-chaos.



In my opinion, i feel that to control something is to be able to make use of it, yet live without it. Technology is now an essential part of life, allowing us to be able to invent new medicines for curing illnesses etc. Some say that technology is the only way for us to survive. Unlike other animals, we advance in our technology , but we ourselves are unable to advance genetically/ adapt to our current world situation. Which is exactly why we need technology.



We should never let anything control us, or depend too much on something. However it is already too late for us to turn back. So let us wish for the best x3
