Feedback of Research Project

  Anxiety, Nervousness, Frustrating that is what I felt during this project. Even thoug I have been through hard time, I would say that this experience gave me a lot of opportunities to improve my language skills in writing and presenting. Firstly, in preparing my research, I learned how to use the library and the data base in order to collect my research sources. In this stage, I got several books and journals which made me fascinating. Second, in writing stage, I had to write in order as writing, according to my plan and sources. The most difficult task was to paraphrase others ideas to represent that into my paper; and cites authors’ name to pay their work back. In this process, I could understand the importance of those kinds of writing processes and the value of citing as well. Thirdly, in the final stage of preparing presentation, I worked on visualizing my content in order to make audiences to enjoy my presentation. ; Actually, I really earned valuable lessons from you guys' presentation and it makes me impressive. In addition, now I fully understand that being a presenter can be a really pleasant experience than ever. Thank you guys who responded at my presentation with cheerful voices.

Discrimination

 It is easy to hurt someone’s heart by discriminating against a person. Even though, it seems like trivial matters, I can tell you that it can cause great pain to somebody. Often, we might discriminate a person, according to the person's appearance as skin or eye colors. As a fact, it is truly unfair that if we treat people differently because of the way of their looks. As an example, our typical reaction or judgment on the different skin colors of people - as the racism towards black people - is an apt instance that which must not be done in any case. Indeed, a person's value comes from his or her way of thinking and belief rather than the way a person's look. Through this unit, I was glad that it reminds me every person has same values within human dignity. And when we fully admit that fact, we can clearly see the person's real value as exactly wh0 the person really is.

Population

Aging of Population

 Thank you for advanced-medical technology that humans are more likely to live longer than before with healther life. Although the average life expectancy has extended, there is a pending question such as the crisis of polulation aging. In fact, population aging is progressing rapidly in many developed countries. The crisis often relates with its burdening of retirement system that retired people often struggle with their health, financial situation. Yet most countries’ social welfare service is not enough to support them to keep their life up. For this reason, governmental supports must be more active in order to improve its public retirement programs such as health care and social security. In addition, as an individual, we might have to prepare for our old age while young, and find a real joy to enjoy advantageous our long term life.
