Blog 8-Mrs Pamela-Ye Shujian (Peter)-Family and Marriage

Perhaps I am too young to think about marriage and family, but actually, my thoughts about marriage and family have changed a lot these years.

When I was little, I just thought that marriage is a very simple thing. You just have your wedding ceremony, and then you are married. After that, you have children and live with your wife for rest of your life. Now, when I think about this, I can’t stand laughing at myself. How naïve and innocent I was at that time!

When I grew up, I gradually realized that marriage is not such an easy and simple thing. I realized that actually the simple, easy and beautiful thing is dating with the girlfriend, not living with the wife. And I was afraid of something like the seven year itch, which means both the couples might feel boring about the marriage after seven years. This is terrible! What’s more, I also knew that some young ladies got married for money, not for love! As a result, now, I am a bit afraid of marriage as it has left me bad impression!

                               Hollywood Movies

  After five-day school work, watching an American movie or more specifically, a Hollywood movie would be on my schedule of the weekend. Surely, it is really of great excitement and relaxation to watch a gorgeous movie. However, a few days ago, I found myself suddenly losing the interest in movies when I intended to get one in my mobile HDD filled with them. After having watched dozens of them, it seems that there are some “formulas” of Hollywood movies which I cannot say directly but do exist.

  Seldom, there is a tragic ending among hundreds of Hollywood movies. Usually, a miracle would happen when an unhappy ending is about to come. Ironically, many classic movies (here, “classic movies” refer to those movies which could be enjoyed for a dozens of years) are tragic movies such as Titanic, Edward scissorhands and Private Ryan. I think sometimes a tragic ending more easily makes people think of what has caused the tragedy and how to prevent it to happen. Conversely, people seldom explore a movie with a happy ending in depth. At present, people have got used to easily accept a movie with a happy ending quickly and are unwilling to spend more time exploring a tragedy.

  Those famous filmmakers have sensed it. And that is exactly how they make movies. They took and are taking advantage of people’s need for fast movies and they have made a lot of money in this way. They do not care as much as money whether the movies they made are classic or not. They went to great lengths to make movies more attractive and profitable. They are more businessmen than transmitters of ideas.

  Economically speaking, it is a voluntary exchange: audiences have the joy and the moviemakers get the money. Both of them would say thank you to each other and every one should be happy. But in my opinion, joy is not the only aim of watching movies.

Blog8-"Mrs Ivy"-Xiao Xiao(Merina)-Courage is the greatest thing

Courage is the greatest thing

I could not ride a bicycle before, because I could never keep balance on the bicycle. Before I came to Singapore, I had decided to learn to ride a bicycled for many times, but I ended up with failure every time. That is because I did not dare to ride it; I was afraid that I would fall down from the bicycle. But I succeeded today. Our research group went to east coast to cycling today. At first, my friends taught me the skills to ride a bicycle. The next thing I should do is to ride the bicycle by myself, but I really did not have the courage. I always stopped after I rode for just two seconds. After 45 minutes, I told myself that "I can, I can make it." Then I thought that the worst result of riding a bicycle for more than two seconds is falling down and get some pain. I thought that if I want to be an excellent person, I should have the courage to overcome all kinds of challenges. So I just tried my best to ride the bicycle without worrying about myself, and then I really made it. From this experience, I know that courage is the greatest thing; we can do anything if we have courage.

Cloning

Nowadays, science is developing in a very fast speed; sometimes it developes so fast that we do not have time to think whether it is ethical. For example, cloning, one of the latest technology, sometimes is not ethical. I am really against the point that people can be cloned. I think it is a bad thing, because I think life is not precious anymore if people can be cloned. People treasure their life, because life is limited, and if people do not treasure life, they will lose it quickly. But once people can clone themselves, which means life is not limited, people do not need to treasure it. For example, people do not need to protect their body, because they can clone their body if they face death. People will not try their best to realize their dream, because they will not die, and they have too much time. Life is not as meaningful as it used to be if it is not limited.so I do not support the the idea of cloning people.

"Blog 7"-"Mr Seto"-"Ping Sibo"-"cloning"

It has been a long time discussing whether clone is good or not. In fact, clone has become a very irreplaceable industry nowadays. Human beings have made many species, except ourselves, be cloned. Some of them are for food, while others are for scientific research. Cloning has many kinds of benefits. First, when doing scientific research, scientists need to conduct their experiments for many times, which need many experimental articles. However, there are no enough experimental articles only if clone animals or plants are used. Second, we can produce clone animals and plants for food. As it is known to all, there is too large population on the earth. If we do not have clone things for food, maybe there would be more starvation around the earth. However, cloning also has its limitations. Nowadays many people think clone food unhealthy and try their best not to buy them. Similarly, cloning human beings is not allowed by both laws and ethics. Maybe in the future, we can make cloning more successful than now.

"Blog 6"-"Mr Seto"-"Ping Sibo"-"character assessment"

When we are confused about our future, we should usually do a character assessment to know ourselves better. It is said that people could know themselves worse than others. In other words, they should pay more attention on recognizing their true spirits. There is much kind of character assessments. One of the most impressed one is DISC, which we have done recently. In that assessment, we are supposed to accomplish 40 questions in 20 minutes. That is to say, we should do each of these questions in a very limited time. Only in this way can we make those answers accurate. Once we have done these questions, the counselor would tell us how to find out our characters finally. The result of assessment separated us into four groups of people with different characters. After finding our own characters, the counselor asked each group of us stood up separately and spoke impressed words with him. Having accomplished a character assessment can benefit us indeed. The more we recognize ourselves, the more we can achieve in the future.
