Cultural Shock
Dicky, Huang Yu Shu
Cultures differ from country to country, and thus the people in the country take different action at different time. I have two news reports, which are introduction of a non-governmental organization[1] and a case happened in United States[2], and I would like to compare this two reports.
Cause and Effect
Dicky, Huang Yu Shu
Global warming has been or still is a very hot issue since Al Gore’s film “ an Inconvenient Truth”, and this is a issue everyone living in this would all should concern. From the article by Francis Zwiers and Gabriele Hegerl[1] of this issue is trying to refute Rosenzweig and colleagues’ point of view. Rosenzweig thinks that greenhouse gases produced by human induced climate change, but F. Z and G. H think Rosenzweig used the inappropriate statistic analysis. I also have something would like to share on this issue.
Economy and Health
Dicky, Huang Yu Shu
Again, we face the dilemma of economic development and health personal or public. Every country or area around this world can not keep away from the global economy, and the separate economic units start to integrate as one huge unit; one of the hugest units is World Trade Organization (WTO). WTO has different levels for tariffs according the countries’ economy, however, “health” can not be leveled, because human are born to be equal. Article from Chen and Huang[1] lets us know the history clearly, and I also learn something from it.
Updated knowledge about AIDS
Dicky, Huang Yu Shu
AIDS is a much more complex case then I know after reading the article” Drug abuse and HIV/AIDS: international research lessons and imperatives.” We might have stereotype on AIDS which is an illness only resulted form sexually behavior. However, there are more dimensions we overlooked so that it endangers our society continuously. I recognize another way of transmitting AIDS and get a new idea about preventing AIDS transmission from that article.
