Blog 1) "Ms Ivy Chan"-"Wang Kexin"-"Two Things I Would Protest about"-"Theme: School and Education"

1.      Protest about going to war

      I strongly protest about going to war, for war costs a lot of money and a lot of lives. No matter what kind of war it is, it often left behind it a great loss of life and uncountable deeply and incurably wounds inside everyone’s heart. The war of Iraq officially over on 16 Dec 2011. During this 9-year-long war, nearly 45 hundred American dead, more than 32 thousand wounded. On the Iraq side, the estimate of dead begins at 150 thousand. And the cost in dollars surrounds 800 billion. No parades, no celebrations, but the deeply pain and distress of losing families and friends overwhelm the whole country. In a war, there will never have a winner. So what I protest most about is going to war. And I really wish the world peace and harmonious forever.

   2. Protest about cuts in education

      Cuts in education means giving more burdens on students and their families. And it makes having a further education even harder for those poor students, which is quietly unfair and frustrated. Moreover, cuts in education forces more students apply for educational loan. Once they graduated from school or college, they will have to face the struggle of paying off loans, less likely to take major steps like getting married and buying house. Education is the best investment you can make in your future and economy need more people to have a further education. Apparently, cuts in education slow down the pace of developing in a long run, so I protest about that.
