Research Paper (last journal)

2008-05-07T09:15:00.000-07:00

Writing research paper is not easy and has some difficulties. Sometimes person may don’t get enough sleep because he/she working on his/her research paper all night and this happened to me. When I start to write a research paper first, I couldn’t find any topic that was interesting for me. I spent a week to think about the topic. Finally I decided to write about Global Warming. I start to search about this topic, but I find out this is huge topic and each source that I search on it has some thing different, also my instructor chose this topic for our essay. So I decided to change my topic. Again I spend a lot of time to think about new topic. One day one of my friends shows me a video of four year boy that smoke like an adult people. I very surprised, also upset to see four year boy that don’t know any thing about life do something that so bad for his health. So I decided to search about that issue. It wasn’t so hard for me to do this research paper because I really wanted to know how we can stop smoking habit from young people. I really interested about this topic. However, it was hard to me to collect a note from sources. But finally I figure out how we can stop increasing smoking habit from young people.

Barack Obama:" we people,in order to from a more perfect union."

In my opinion this speech was strong, peaceful and kind of touching. I agree with him that there is no differences between each race and all people, whatever is there skin color, are the same and we should conduct them as same as each other. He mention, “if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American. So, people should help each other for the better world and peace; also, for the next generation. He said a story about a white girl that he expects her preferment point of start for perfection.

ABC to Offer Shows Via Video-On-Demand

2008-02-27T08:55:00.000-08:00

I think it’s a good idea that they via video on demand cable services the shows that absorb people. Because most of people may be busy the time that these show pervade or -don’t have enough time to watch it at this time. So via video it’s a good way for people who continue these series. Also, these series continues season to season so if someone who like to watch it miss one part they can understand the next part story. But if it’s being on the DVD they can watch it again. It so good that they do every thing that bring for the people convenience.

Free Topic ( The future )

2008-02-20T08:30:00.000-08:00

The future is something i sometimes avoid thinking about. I am mostly optimistic about the future because i always believe positive things keep happeneing in my life. And even when something looks negative, i try to learn from it and make it into a positive moment in my life. I usually think about the present and not always about the future.
Sometimes i say to my self ” i live for today, not for yesterday and not for tommorow.” But what i usually end up finding out is that what you did yesterday helps you for today, and prepares you for tommorow. I think if one believes negatively, then negative things will happen to you. So be optimistic and belive positive things will happen in your future.

Clothes Can Tell a lot about a Person

Clothes are so important for humans. It’s not just a cover for body, also it does can tell a lot about a person. We can realize personality of a person or which type of social group is this person from the clothes that each person wear. Also, we can sometimes comprehend the country or the religion of a person by clothes that a person wears.
First of all, Each person by wearing each type of clothes can show the personality of his or her self. Some people don’t know or don’t care about that and wear any thing they like. A person should wear a type of clothes that mach with her or his personality. For example, I know someone who has very good personality and she is so nice, but her clothes are totally different from her personality. She always wears clothes that show her personality like bad girls.

Second, the important thing that many of people can understand from clothes that each person wears is social group. Each person can tell others his or her social groups by clothes that he or she wears. For instance, if I see a person in the street that wear dry and scrappy clothes I can take a idea that this person is homeless , so it’s easy to find social group from clothes.

Next, from clothes that each person wear sometimes I can find which religions is this person or from which country is. For illustration, if I saw a women that wear scarf and her dress is long I can easily understand that she is a Muslim.
In conclusion, clothes can tell some important things that each person wants to know about others. I think people should care about the clothes that they wear, because sometimes other people think wrong from them.

journal # 14 (The American family)

2007-09-30T22:01:00.000-07:00

There are a lot of things that i see in the American families since i came here that i never saw in the families in my country. Most of the American families give their children freedom in talking or make their own dicision. They can left home when they enter 18 ,even girls ,and i think most of them do it. I saw some of the children here don't respect elder people enough even their teachers. For example, in my country when teacher came to the class all the student should stand up and it's a kind of respect for teacher but in the U.S student don't do.One thing that i love about the American families behavior it's a most of them teach their children to responsible for their own life and problems. I think this make children more stronger and experienced person in their own life when they will have a their own family.
