Week one 4/4/2011 How to face setbacks? this question always confuse me. everyone will meet setback. some people can pass it, but some people corrupt. we should have a good mentality to endeavoring even we might fail, but we can say we did. there is a most important thing that is if you can do the first step. recently,I have faced setback. every thing come to my life. i feel sad and tried. how to change my life and fix those problem? there only one way is making a plan and following it. First thing is changing my mentality. a good mentality will let people hard work. Second, I need to give up my own problems. when I finish all those things, I will become better. 4/5/2011 communication is a significant part of computers. For example, e-mail, it has become an indispensability part of people’s daily life. Everyone use the e-mail to send information. In company, when people need to forward some important documents, they must use email. No one will choose to send letters. I also check my E-mail 10 to 20 times each day because I am a college student and I need to check the homework every day. Another example is Facebook, I think no one can deny it because it let you live become simpler. When people want to see their friend of the latest news or photographs, just opening Facebook they will find everything which they want to know. 4/8/2011  Every big city has meet a important problem : traffic jams. Like my hometown Beijing, everyday people need spend a lone time on the road. why does this happen? For example, in my home side, there have a secondary school and a primary school. When students go to class and after class go home, it must cause congestion. Especially primary schools, because parents worried about their children 's safety, they pick and send their children by car every day. I never forgot one day that I drove my car to meet my friend. Unfortunately, I met students finish class to go home. Many parents came here to take their children that caused the transportation completely paralyzed. The crazier thing was that I just leave my house 5 meters and stayed there half hour.  4/9/2011  Recently, Libya has been fighting and other countries. That cause many people lost their family. The mian reason cause this war is that most poor people want to get better life. However, giving people a better life environment is a important thing for ocial stability. I think the best way to giving people a better is to teach them how to achieve is. Therefore, the school is an adopting place. A successful example is South Africa, Nelson Mandela published the first policy that is to establish schools. Ten or five years later, South Africa did not have war because everyone had studied in school. People could earn money by using their knowledge. Every one has a good job, and every family become very harmonious.

Week Two 4/12/2011 nervous stu dy will cause stress. Every one has different life experiences and plays different roles during his or her life. When students are studying in college, they will often face stress such as they need to study very hard, read a lot of homework, and get high exam scores. when beginning my first academic class, I met a lot of question s. Because of language problems and a lot of homework, everyday I need spend long time to study. That causes me feeling stress.  4/13/2011   Google teach me a new way to search information. Every time when I get some problem, I just open Google and enter the information and then press enter. A lot of information will come into my monitor. My teacher always say that we are very lucky because we live in the computer era. When he needed to search information for him paper, he only go to the library and spent a lot of time for finding books. Then he held a pile of books to his dorm and cost an abundant of time to read those books. However, I just need to open Google that will help me get all information.   4/15/2011      on-line shopping also become very popular by using computer. every time when I want to buy something, I must choose the on-line shopping because I can stay my homeand some shopping will save the money. Not just me like it. because people’s live and work become more and more busy, a number of people also like shopping in the Amazon. People don't need to go shopping: Just typing what you want to buy. It will send it to you in three days. Furthermore, we do not need to go bookstore because we also have Barnes & Noble in the internet. To do anything by using the computers help people save a lot of time. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">4/16/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">people think the internet is a liberal place for people publishing message. If government controls it, they will lose this place. However, because some people spread harmful information by using the internet, government should control it. For example, the internet always appears much violent, sexy or anti-governm ent information. Recently, I have read an article about the Chinese government , which is a strange r sending to my email. The article said how the Chinese government persecutes Chinese, and the Chinese government is a corruption governmen

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Week Three <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">4/20/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">Acording to “Mobile phones and health”, Yanar (2009) reported that people often using mobile phones will get many diseases. First, Yanar (2009) said Khurana’s research shows mobile phones are harmful for people’s health. Also, Hardell shows that often using the mobile phone will have more chance to get brain cancer; however, some critics disagree with his points. Finally Khurana agrees with Hardell’s point. He thinks people often using mobile phone will increase the rates of brain cancer. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">4/21/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">Alkayat (2009) reported that people use mobile phone one hour a day. After ten years, they will have more rates to get brain cancer. That means using mobile phone is harmful for people’s health. However, this is just a reason for people getting brain cancer so some other researchers do not believe that mobile phone and people’s health have a connection.Although many people do not believe Alkayat (2009)’s point and think that there are a lot of reasons to cause cancer. The mobile phone might is the most important reason for cancer because it always accompanies with people. Alkayat (2009) may need more research to prove his point, but I believe that mobile phone harm people’s health. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">4/23/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;"> Finally, the most important reason why government should censor the internet is that online shopping has become a new way for tax evasion. More and more people like to use Internet shopping because it is very cheap. However, why online shopping is cheap is that many manufacturers build an online store and sale products by self Instead of formal market transaction to avoid taxes. In China, the biggest online store TAOBAO evades tax nearly 1 billion per year. the governme nt should spend more time to censor the internet. There is no doubt that the internet has many problems. However, if the gover nment increase supervision and solve these problems, people will achieve a cleaner and safer network. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">4/24/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">the international aid can help countries to build homeland. In Africa, because of the war, a lot of people become homeless. Therefore, international aid can help those people rebuild their home. For example, Rwanda had a lot of homeless people because of the war. Since international aid organizations gave this country much money and technical staff to help them build homes, many people had owned their home and the war also end.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Week Four <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">4/27/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">the First Amendment to the constitution says that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”, the internet should has someone or group to manage and control because it has become a significant public domain for people sharing their opinion or information that may be harmful. The most important thing is that general public does not know whether or not the information is true. Therefore, the pornography, hate speech and technical information should not be protected by Constitution. The government should intensify the monitoring the network to create a stable and harmonious society. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">4/28/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">If someone wants to confuse the people's minds, the internet will become the greatest tool. Like last month, because of the earthquake, Japan occurred nuclear threat. Someone spread the salt can prevent the nuclear threat in Chinese internet.That caused all the supe rmarket goods-stopping only in two days, and a lot of market sold the salt in high price. However, according to the statement of the government, it did not cause the widespread social panic, but when the Chinese government wanted to investigate this incident, this rumor start from the internet that was difficulty to find who did it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">4/30/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> More and more people like to use Internet shopping because it is very cheap. However, why online shopping is cheap is that many manufacturers build an online store and sale products by self instead of formal market transaction to avoid taxes, such Amazon. A lot of people like shopping in Amazon because people do not need to pay the taxes. If someone want to buy a laptop, Amazon will help they save a lot of money. Basically, when you aren’t able to collect sales tax from online sales shipped into your state, everyone who pays sales taxes in your state will pay a little bit more than they otherwise would have <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">5/01/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">when people buy some stuff online, they just need to pay taxes where people live. Perhaps, I want to buy a laptop online. The seller lives in New York, and I live in Ohio. I just need to follow the Ohio tax rule to pay tax, but I buy the laptop from New York. This cause me avoid the higher taxes. Should online purchases be taxed? Every one has a different idea. Jim Wang made a taking with other people in the online to discuss this question. He believed that states should collect sales tax on online purchases for the reasons outlined here..

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">﻿5/05/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> Another important reason why government should manage the internet is cyber crime. What is the cyber crime? Cyber crime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a network__[2]__. Some people, very good at computer, attack other people’s computer to steal personal information or bank account. The Telegraph report that £9.2bn was lost though intellectual property (IP) theft, £7.6bn from industrial espionage and £2.2bn from extortion with large companies being targeted. In total, UK businesses lost £21bn, while the cost to individual Britons hit £3.1bn and Government £3.1bn. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">5/06/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">the increasing number of parents reports that the internet has a lot of pornography, which will affect minors growing up. In 2000, the Congress passed CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act) that really help the minors away from pornography. CIPA require that schools and libraries that participate in certain federal programs install filtering software on all internet terminals to block access to sites with child pornography,obscene material, and material “harmful to minors.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">5/07/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">with the popularization of the internet, people need to pay more attention to avoid computer virus attacked and pornographic information affecting minor. Therefore, the governme nt should spend more time to censor the internet although it is very difficult to solve all those issues. However, as long as all people together resist network rumor and crime, people will achieve a clean and safe network <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">5/08/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">weather is most important thing for causing delivery delayed. Most mail company need traffic tools such as aircraft or truck to transport package. When they meet some strong natural disasters, the delivery must be delayed. On the other hand, emails never need to consider those issues. Second, snail mails need people to deliver the package, but emails do not. For example, like some villages in the mountain or poor countries, snail mails must need people to deliver the letter or package. If the postman is sick, the mail also will be delayed.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">5/11/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">During the different stages of life, people have distinct problems. If you get married, you will have the responsibility to take care of your family. My uncle had a decent family. However, his income was not high, so family life was very difficult. Everyday he always fought with his wife because of money. Finally, he only chooses divorce to release stress, which family brought to him. On the other hand, when he got divorced, new family pressures also occur. In addition, according to a recent survey by Holmes-Rahe1, it shows that the top three stressful life events are the death spouse, divorce or separation. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">5/12/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">The body cannot always adapt to stress for a long time. Stress can cause mental problems. Elizabeth Scott2 suggests that when people feel stress, the first thing is to cause mental tension. However over a long time, the human body might get the common cold, but people did not care about common disease. Little by little, common diseases become serious health issues, like heart disease and mental disease etc. In fact, most people’s diseases are caused by stress. ** If people are suffering stress on a daily basis, it is affecting their life dramatically. It is possible that there is an underlying psychological issue involved. ** Mental problems often just happen in people daily lives without their even knowing about them. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">5/13/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">It is known that people under stress have a greater tendency to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as excessive use or abuse of alcohol and drugs and smoking. Those unhealthy behaviors can cause symptoms such as acne, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. For example, when I was studying in China, I needed to attend the college entrance examination, which was important for every Chinese student. Everyday I needed to spend my all time for study. Stress lets me feel live was very difficult, and my face got many acne. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">5/14/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">study, economy, and relationships have leaded people to feel greater stress. Sometimes people do not have time to do anything to avoid stress. Therefore, stress will still affect people’s health and could cause some diseases to happen. people often are influenced by stress. Some people can control and release the stress, but some people cannot do that. Not all stress is harmful to people. However, if people can control, avoid or release it, people will have a better life and better health.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">5/19/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;"> My girlfriend has a lot of pink stuff. When shopping, she must choose pink products. I always doubt whether just my girlfriend likes pink stuff. However, after I finished reading some research, I believe that pink is deeply attractive to many girls.The article “Girls Really Do Prefer Pink” by Ed Edelson (Washpingtonpost.com, August 20, 2007) reports that girls really like pink. Furthermore, another study shows that hundreds of young men and women make quick decisions for choosing color, female also like pink. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">5/20/2011 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">the author introduces that females really like pink. When females need to make a quick decision for colors, the first idea coming in their mind will be their favorite color. The researchers chose several hundred young men and women to make quick decisions on which color they preferred as pairs of colors flashed on a screen in front of them. Hurlbert, one of the researchers, found pretty robust and reliable evidence to show that females prefer pink. the article really shows a fact, which is that girl prefer pink. Some people might think this is not true. However, according to the article and my life experience, I believe that many girls do love pink a lot. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">5/21/2011 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">With the development of human civilization, mails have been using for people <span style="background-color: white; color: #000000; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">exchanging inf <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">ormation.

Some people think the mails is better, but others consent emails is great. In my opinion, although snail mails have been using for a long time, emails will become an indispensability part of people’s daily life because emails are <span style="background-color: white; color: #000000; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">more convenient <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">for people lives, much less for cost, and not to worry about using environmental restrictions. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">5/22/2011 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 宋体; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">ith the rapid development of present society, people are becoming busier than ever before. People who work in diversified fields have different issues and problems that create stress and anxiety. However, some people can reduce their problems by themselves, yet others cannot. Therefore, people who can't solve their problems will experience tremendous stress. Consequently, stress always appears in people's life, so problem solving skills lead to reduced stress

5/24/2011

With the development of human civilization, mails have been using for people exchanging information. However, in recent 20 years, the regular mails have being replaced by emails. Some people think the mails is better, but others consent emails is great. In my opinion, although snail mails have been using for a long time, emails will become an indispensability part of people’s daily life because emails are more convenient for people lives, much less for cost, and not to worry about using environmental restrictions.

5/25/2011 emails are more convenient than snail mails for people lives. Unlike snail mails, people can stay home to communicate with their friends by using computer. For example, when people need to send letter to their friends or family members, they have to find a post office. On the contrary, if using email, people can listen to music and drink coffee when they are talking with friends. In addition, emails are the best ways to transfer resources. In the 1900s, people need to mail a book or a document. They only could use snail mail. If they wanted to mail a lot of books or documents, the snail mail may not accept them because they were too heavy; however, now people just copy a PDF resource and use email to transfer to their friend. 5/26/2011  compared with surface mails, email’s cost is much less. The first thing is time. Traditional mails system will spend a long time for delivery, especially the delivery between countries. For example, posting a letter from the United States to china will spend seven days. However, emails only need few minutes. Like me, I am studying the United States, and my girlfriend stay in China. I always use email talking with her because using email like that we are talking each other face to face. Moreover, snail mails need to cost some money. On the contrary, emails never need it. People just register a mail accounts, and then they can begin an email lives. 5/27/2011  people using emails do not to consider using environmental restrictions such as weather and need people to deliver. First, weather is most important thing for causing delivery delayed. Most mail company need traffic tools such as aircraft or truck to transport package. When they meet some strong natural disasters, the delivery must be delayed. On the other hand, emails never need to consider those issues. Second, snail mails need people to deliver the package, but emails do not. For example, like some villages in the mountain or poor countries, snail mails must need people to deliver the letter or package. If the postman is sick, the mail also will be delayed.
