make a deffinittion of the term education, bullying, and terrorism
1.Education
Many people think that the term education means that a process of teaching, training and learning, especially in schools or colleges to improve knowledge and develop their skills. In this paper, however, the term education is used to refer to a process that parents teach their experiences to children in home, experiences which is necessary for children to live in recent complex society.
2.Bullying
The term bullying generally means the action that a person who uses their strength or power to frighten or hurt weaker people. In this paper, however, the term bullying includes not only frightening or hurting weaker people actually but also ignoring weaker people to isolate them from society. Indeed, some data shows that ignorance is one of the causes of school violence.
3. Terrorism
Many political scientists have argued since the end of WWII whether the term terrorism includes violence by country. In this paper, however, the term terrorism is used to refer to the use of violent action in order to achieve political aims or to force a govenment to act only by a group which is not government but just assembly of individuals who have same purpose.

10-24-2007 Assignment 2 : writting a summury
Masson and McCarthy, the authors of “A Capacity for Joy”, discuss an importance and function of a play for many animals to develop social, neurological or physical capacities. At first, the plays provide lots of joys to animals such as Elephants who play with a set of swings. Second, the plays with an objective allow the animal to learn “social play”, such as dolphins recognizing the water polo game. Furthermore, the plays provide communication across the species such as a dog and human who understand what they think each other playing games.

10-24-2007 Assignment 1 ; Columbine High School
Columbine High School massacre occurred on Tuesday, April 20, 1999. Two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot at anybody they met, killing12 students and a teacher, as well as wounding 23 others, before committing suicide. Although their motivation for massacre was not clear because they had committed suicide, some analysts thought that isolation and bullying from their classmate and influence of violent video game and movie might make them massacre.
After this massacre, many schools declared anti-bully policy to reduce one of the causes of school violence. In addition, many schools reinforced their security such as introduction of "door numbering system" which is the systematic use of letters or numbers to identify individual entrances to a building. Although the argument which gun control should be strengthened was occurred, the argument has not reached the conclusion because it is controversial whether gun control erodes Second Amendment rights.

10-17-2007 Assignment 1
Effect on Biodiversity
There is a bacterium that is naturally toxic to certain beetles and insects. Scientists have taken the gene that produces the toxin in the bacterium and engineered it into potato and corn plants. Now the potato and corn plants produce the same toxin, so any of the beetles or insects that eat them are poisoned by the toxin in the potato and corn plants. As the plants produce their own insecticide, farmers do not need to spray them with conventional insecticide, with the result that there is less pesticide residue on these plants. In this sense, these GE plants are better for us. But they now contain a gene that produces toxins. Is this good for us?
As well as the target pests, many beneficial beetles and insects are killed. Monarch butterfly larvae died when they came into contact with pollen from GE corn. What will be the effect on beetles, mice, birds, etc. that eat the beetles and insects that have been poisoned by the toxin in the potatoes and corn? In other words, what will be the effect on the environment? Some fear that proliferation of GE crops may result in huge losses of biodiversity and all the dangers that entails.
The GE potatoes and GE corn just mentioned are meant to reduce the need for pesticide. Other plants are genetically engineered to withstand pesticide. A gene that is naturally resistant to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide has been inserted into canola. So a farmer can spray a field of GE canola with almost as much Roundup as he/she likes, and while the weeds will be killed, the canola will be unaffected. So herbicide-resistant GE crops may encourage farmers to use more pesticide. There would be more pesticide residue on these crops.
In some places, the bacteria needed for breaking down vegetable matter so that the soil is fertilized are being wiped out by excessive use of Roundup. The soil is becoming inert, and so much so that dead weeds do not rot.
When a farmer harvests a crop like soy, some falls on to the ground and may remain there till the following growing season, when it may grow spontaneously. If the farmer is growing a different crop, the soy is now unwanted, a weed, and the farmer may want to kill it with herbicide. Herbicide-resistant GE soy cannot be killed with ordinary herbicide and farmers in Argentina, for example, use a potent cocktail of different chemicals, including 2-4,D and, it is thought, Paraquat. This cocktail is causing environmental havoc. Some of the chemicals are blown by the wind on to neighboring fields, into streams and lakes, and on to people. It is causing skin blemishes on children, farm animals to be born deformed, bananas to sprout from the middle of the branch instead of the top, lakes filled with dead fish.
Substantial Equivalence
The biotechnology industry claims that genetic engineering is just like traditional breeding, i.e., GE plants are substantially equivalent to non-GE plants and, therefore, that they do not need any extra regulation. This is obviously misleading.
In traditional breeding, members of the same or very similar species are crossed to create offspring with some novel trait. This greatly limits the genes that can be combined. Furthermore, when different but similar species are crossed, their offspring are generally infertile, preventing inter-species gene combinations from propagating in the wild. For example, a donkey and a mare can make a mule, but the mule will be infertile, the end of the line for the combined genes.
Genetic engineering smashes these natural barriers. Using gene insertion, any gene from any plant, animal, bacterium, fungus or virus can be inserted into the DNA in reproductive cells of any other organism. If the resulting organism survives, it generally can pass on its altered DNA, along with and new traits, through normal reproduction. For example, genetic engineering enables scientists to create pigs which have human genes, genes which will be passed on to future generations.
So GE plants and animals are not substantially equivalent to non-GE varieties. But are they safe for us to eat? Do they need extra regulation?
There are indications that they may not be safe. An English scientist reported that rats fed GE potatoes developed cancerous tumors. The rats' brain size also decreased. The same scientist also fed GE tomatoes to rats. 7 out of 20 rats developed stomach lesions and died.
There are also problems within the Food and Drug Agency, the US agency with responsibility for regulating food. Because of inadequate legislation in the US, Monsanto's New Leaf Superior GE potato is not regulated. The potato has been genetically engineered to poison and kill the Colorado potato beetle. Because it produces its own toxin, the potato is registered as a pesticide. The FDA does not regulate the potato because it does not have authority to regulate pesticides. That is the Environment Protection Agency's job, but the EPA says the potato is a food.
The first GE crop to be commercialized, the Flavr Savr tomato, did not pass the required toxicological tests. Secret memoranda from the FDA reveal that the agency ignored warnings from its own senior scientists who pointed out that GE is risky. What is behind this situation? For one thing, there is a very close link between the biotechnology industry and the US government. The biotech industry has been well represented in President Bush's cabinet. Secretaries of Defence, Health, and Agriculture, the Attorney General and the chairperson of the House Agriculture Committee have had connections with Monsanto or the wider industry.
But would the manufacturer be irresponsible? Monsanto president has been quoted as saying, "Safety is the Government's responsibility."
So we do not know for sure if GE foods are safe. They may turn out to be harmful. There are many examples of new technologies hailed at first as great benefits to humankind, but later realized to be anything but a benefit. The effects of DDT were not known for decades. Likewise Thalidomide, which caused deformities in more than 100,000 babies. At the time of its approval in the EU and Canada, tests in laboratory animals showed no negative effects. Thalidomide's damage was revealed only over time, not in the drug's users, but in their children.
There is already at least one new disease linked to GE food. In 1989 eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) hit the US. 37 people died and 1,500 were permanently disabled. EMS was linked to the consumption of a dietary supplement called L-Tryptophan. The batch of L-Tryptophan implicated in the outbreak was traced to Showa Denko, which had recently introduced a new genetically engineered bacterium into its production process.

10-10-2007 Assignment 2 : Dscribing cause and effect
An effect of global warming
Many researches show that increase in greenhouse effect gases such as carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of global warming. These gases absorb a reflected a part of sun’s energy from a surface of the earth, although the sun’s energy come from directly goes through these gases. Many scientists predict that this unbalance makes air temperature rise as much as about six degree Celsius in 100 years compared with average of temperature in recent years. This increase in temperature makes an ice around the North and South Pole melt, a melting ice that result in raising a sea level. Consequently, raising a sea could have serious negative effect on the world economy, because rising of a sea make many significant cities for world economy such as NY, Tokyo and Hong Kong sink below the surface.

1) According to Leary, Kowalski, Smith, & Phillips (2003), some studies shows that many adults become upset and hostile when they can not achieve their desire in love (Buameister et al., 1993), and they are disregarded (Williams, 1997; Williams and Zudro, 2001).
2) According to Leary, Kowalski, Smith, & Phillips (2003), some individuals are thrown out and disregarded by their peers simply because of indifference but because of intension. Other individuals are ignored simply because they are remarkably shy, lack social skills, or do not share same interest.
3) According to Leary, Kowalski, Smith, & Phillips (2003), Eric Harris, 18 and Dyan Klebold shot a fire at Columbine High School injuring 21 people and killing 13 people. This is because they had been ignored and insulted by their peers, and Harris had been rejected from girls whom he had asked to party.

1) The news media contents are influenced by economic and marketing consideration that frequently exceed traditional journalistic standard for newsworthiness. Despite of not reflecting events in society precisely, the coverage of crime and violence that was wrapped by commercial pressures has played a major role in reshaping public opinion, and even criminal justice policy (Sara Beale, 2006)

10-03-07 Assignment 2
Assingment:Some child prodigies as young as 10 years old go to universities. Do you think this is a good environment for these children? Why or Why not? Explaiin your reasons, and give examples to support your oppinion.
I think it is a good environment for these children, because university is suitable to learn new something that prodigy can not learn at other school. For example, when 10 years ago, there was one Japanese prodigy who understood completely high school level math had been studying applied math that is university level. Actually, he wanted to learn high level math in university but any Japanese university could not accommodate him that environment. If he could learn applied math in university, he would award Novel Prize around this time. After that, some Japanese university changes their policy and admitted earlier enrollment to anyone who have tremendous talent.
Some people, however, disagree with earlier enrollment, arguing these children can not make friends same age or they cannot learn ethic that is necessary to live in the social community. I think it is partially true, but it is not big problems. For example, there are many children who have inborn talent of soccer and play top league surrounding many adult player. They play soccer, going to school. If earlier enrollment students need to make friends or learn ethic, they are better off studying in lower school, learning high level study in university.

Assignment: Create an outline of a famous event that involves a chain of causation.Write a short essay based on the outline.
According to the article of O.C. McSwite (2001), a city that confronted a growing problem of drunk driving made a stricter rule and instructed its police to crack down on drinking drivers. When the police began to do this, police service deteriorated as a result of the considerable officer downtime to make arrests. In order to ameliorate the additional time demands on officers, the city bought expensive vans to go to the arrest scene, test drivers, and complete the necessary paperwork on site. This increased arrests further and resulted in judges dismissing a large number of new cases. In order to combat this, the city next launched a training program for judges. As a result of this training, convictions increased. Finally, the city administration began to experience a great deal of political pressure as citizens became upset at what they saw as an unreasonably harsh police crackdown on typical “Friday and Saturday night” behavior.

10-01-07 Assignment:Describing the Graph
This graph describes the average daily use of D.C. metro.
It shows that the number of commuters sharply increases from 6:00 AM, and reaches a peak at 8:00 AM. After this peak, the number of passengers falls to 10:00 AM. From 10:00 AM, the number of commuters plateaus and reaches a bottom at 4:00 PM. After that, it sharply rises again and reaches peak at 6:00 PM, as many commuters as first peak at 8:00 AM. And then, the number of commuters goes down to 8:00 PM. After that the number of commuters stabilizes to 10:00 PM.
This graph shows that most firms and schools start around 8:00 AM and end around 6:00 PM. In addition, they have lunch time about from 12:00PM to 2:00 PM.
