In my free time, I like to look through photos in the past which remind me of time in my life with friends and family. Have you done like what I do? Can you remember those people in your photos? Surprisingly,reading"Barbary macaques recognise photos of their friends" from BBC news there’s one kind of animals does and they also can distinguish difference between familiar face and face that, that kind of animal not familiar with. You might now wonder “what kind of animal I’m talking about?”. Let’s see what it is in the following-up information.
The researchers did the research and experiments about monkeys, primates, and found out that Juvenile monkeys have the ability of understanding the representation of faces. Professor Julia Fischer did the experiments by letting group of monkeys see through photos on a scrapbook. The reaction to the picture of monkey is quite different between adult monkeys and juvenile ones. "Adult animals spent more time looking at unfamiliar animals, suggesting that they recognize their group members from the pictures" said Professor Fischer. "The juveniles didn't show any difference - they were very interested in all the pictures."
After I read about the intelligence of monkey remind me of the experiment the people do on animals ,for example, injecting serum in to animals body to see if it works and many experiments that do any good for animals. As you see from the experiment that shows monkey’s intelligence, I don’t think it’s a good idea to do harmful and risky experiments on those animal especially primates which considered the smartest animal not counting human. Also, I think the researchers and scientists you think forward about the use of this experiment in some ways in the up coming future.
BBC Flash news : Japan Government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. If rain comes, remain indoors first 24 hours. Close doors and windows. Swab neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precautions. Radiation may hit Philippine at around 4 pm today. If it rains today or in the next few days in Hong Kong. Do not go under the rain. If you get caught out, use an umbrella or raincoat, even if it is only a drizzle. Radioactive particles, which may cause burns, alopecia or even cancer, may be in the rain.
Some media reported that not only fake e-mails but also fake SMS, facebook, and malwares influence people life. The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) warned the computer users to consider all stuff in the Internet or any communication which is regarding to the earthquake and tsunami crisis in Japan because they are unreliable. According to the Japan officials said the danger zone should be warned is the area within 30 km around there for staying indoors.
I think there are two points of fake rumours. First, people would like to prevent and protect themselves from radiation. Besides, they also worry about people in other countries, they spread the fake messages then. In spite of, they are not sure about the rumours they released. On the other hand, the second point is playing joke. For children and teenagers, the fake news usually happen many time for a while. Some believe but some know it's just a joke. In this case, I disagree with it because people feel worried about this situation that may cause anxiety or depression in some group of people. Although it's just the joke , it can make people feelig get worse and scared. Then, it's very difficult to live with happiness. For example, if it rains, everyone is afraid to go outside despite there is nothing dangerous.
In Lord of the Flies, Golding first introduces the beast in chapter 2, where the small, disfigured boy who speaks so fearfully of it is later consumed by the raging fire the boys let loose on the mountain. From that time on, the snake-thing, the beastie, or some other form of the beast is always present on the island; for example, in "Hut's on the Beach", Ralph tells Jack that as much as for protection in case of storms, they "need shelters because of the – ?" (Golding & Epstein, 1954, p. 50), which leads Jack to confess his own fears on the same topic.
Discuss how the beast is further developed by Golding in chapters 5 and 6, which are named in its honour. How does the beast evolve? How real is it? How do the boys react to it?
Several days ago while I was reading my friends’ posts on Face book, one of my friend’s post caught my attention. That post was about “Japan's suicide rate for job seekers jumps”.
CNN News reported on” Japan's suicide rate for job seekers jumps”. Japanese National Police Agency reported on last Thursday that the number of suicide rate in Japanese children who couldn’t find the job increased by 20 percents from year 2009. The health, labor and welfare ministry said the suicide rate of people in Japan has been over 30,000 in the past 13 years (¶9). On World Suicide Prevention Day Japanese government had launched the campaign in order to decrease the number of suicide rate but I doesn’t really help out.
Even though Japan is one of a highest developed country in this world but Japan has a big problem on suicide rate of people. High developed country came with stress and high competition in society. I know some of Japanese friends when I was talking to them on how they spent their life when they were young, their answers were the same, and they have to study really hard in order to enter top universities in Japan. Every day after school they have to study extra class in order to prepare themselves for university’s test and when they went back home they had to study again. After I listened to that I just thought back to Thai children especially my child life, my child life was full of fun and happiness. I studied hard but not as hard as the Japanese did. At that time I thought that were they happy with that way of life. Stress is good but too much stress is not good because it would harm your health. I think Japanese life is full of stress since they were young that may be the cause of suicide because you always compete with each other, you must be the best and the more you can be the best the more you can success in your life. But I think this kind of thinking is wrong, sometimes we couldn’t compare ourselves to the others because different people have different preference and different talent. I might good at studying English but I’m not good at drawing while the others might good at drawing but not English. You see this is not something we can compare to the others. I think just do the best in what we love is the best.
