ReplyDeleteIn this article, the author summarized what happened at the University of Oklahoma’s fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon , then he criticized the punishment of the university. From his point of view, he thinks that every citizen in the United States has his/ her inalienable right to express their opinion freely. Also, he cited several tweets from numerous people in the article about how they disagreed with the punishment.
we have to judge it objectively, government could judge it more objectively so we choose them to manage the city, even though government likes political games.

DeleteIn theory, all men are born to equal. In real life, the relative equal sometimes is hard to achieve.
DeleteRace discrimination is always a problem which bothers the government of every states. It is hard to completely eliminate the racist opinion.
DeleteUnfortunately I think groups like fraternities are especially prone to this kind of behavior. There are lots of problems that arise in fraternities, particularly in terms of dealings with women.

ReplyDeleteWell, the letter is written by a republican senator who mentions Iran's nuclear weapons program issue inside. And President Obama also claims that "there are some Republican senators who are seeking to establish a backchannel with hardliners in Iran to undermine an agreement with Iran and the international community". This is clearly shows the conflicts between democraticans and republicans, again. From my perspective, this embarrassing case is the result of the separation of powers which legislature, executive, judiciary. It is an antiquated and hotly disputed topic among the politicians of America.
About the war, as normal people we can only watch the process. And that is why we need government to deal with these kind of things. In my opinion, enjoy our present life, leave those stuff to government.

DeleteThe divergence between the democraticans and republicans had arouse many problems in the society. The Iran's nuclear weapons program issue is an obvious example.
DeleteVery interesting article. The truth is--wait! It's very hard to know the truth, but unfortunately, a lot of people use a crisis or even war as a way to make profit for themselves.
DeleteThis article is about Iwatch. According to the comments from Internet users, people like this new product from Apple habitually, but they did not answer the question by functions instead of conception. Which means this product is a highlight technology, but it is not that useful as we expect.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/03/10/apple-watch-technology-your-say-tellusatoday/24735993/
Apple's new product iwatch had already catch a lot of people's attention before it came out. I had to admit that the new iwatch maybe not a practical product.
Deleteywwwww, apple watch is too expensive for me, I don't wanna spend too much money in this kind of watch...
DeleteI focus on the iwatch edition, which is gold one. but I think it's too expensive to buy Edition. I have a question why people can spend too much to buy this watch. I perplex.
DeleteYes, I think this iwatch is not useful enough for us. Also, for students, it is too expensive.
DeleteI want to see one. But I don't like to use a cell phone even, so I don't think I would like this one. There's such a thing as being tooooo connected! But the technology is fascinating.
DeleteI read this article too, and I do not think they all like this product. There are still some comments which is negative thinking about iwatch. Like the high price or the small screen.

ReplyDeleteThis article is mainly about an announcement that Apple will launch its new product--the apple watch on April 24. Though apple watch already has its predecessor---the Samsung Gear, many apple fans still feel curious and enthusiastic about this new product. While one coin has two sides, there are some sensible people who are not so interested in this product. They think that many functions of apple watch are not necessary and sometimes cause inconvenient. Some people say that even the screen of a big cellphone is hard for them to read and text, not to mention the super small screen of the apple watch. Now, whether the apple watch will receive a big success remains to be seen.
For me, I think it's too expensive. I will choose the other one watch such as Hamilton.
DeleteI liked it, but i think the price is over, and too expensive for people. also Apple are challenging samsung by this product.
Deletethe watch itself it is a great high tech product. but the money it costs is way much over than the technology itself. i would rather buy something thats the value wont decrease as time goes

ReplyDeleteIn this short article, we know that the big news is from Apple. Apple announced on April 24th that will sell Apple Watch. And Apple Store allow to pre-order starting on April 10th. But for watches, samsung has built up. Apple watch behind samsung. When you want to know more details and experience about Apple Watch, we have to wait and see.
Like what Apple always do, huge advertising work, but the Apple Watch is not the leader of smartwatch. It will succeed or not? That is the problem Apple is facing.
DeleteIt will be interesting to see how well the new watches sell--or if people don't really care for them.
DeleteI also read this article. I was so disappointed with Apple Watch. The watch demonstrates the Apple's HUGE ambitions to the market and money, instead of changing the world. Steven Jobs died, Apple also died.
DeleteGood writing!
DeleteAnother year to see Apple company to launch of the new product. Is it convenient for people when you grab the watch? What's the price of iwatch? Compared with others, is it worth to owning one of the watches Time will witness everything.
Only thing I can say is that phone companies are bringing us to an new technology times. Portable devices are taking out the market. Would they be successful? We will see, I believe one day they will.
Deletehttp://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/03/10/mcdonalds-chicken-antibiotics-your-say/24735869/
ReplyDeleteAccording to this opinion report, McDonald's decides to use antibiotic-free chicken meat instead of the chicken which raises with antibiotic right now. Because of the concern of many consumer about the antibiotic resistance and issues involving industrial agriculture. Also the author suggest if McDonald's decide to use antibiotic-free chicken, it will be better to use antibiotic-beef too.
I have a long time did not eat McDonald's, I think this is bad to the body, Fried food can affect health.
DeleteMany people relate the brand of McDonald's with junk food. After this big change in choosing food materials, maybe McDonald's can improve people's impressions about it.
Deletehealthy food is so important for people. If McDonald's really decide to use this kind of meat, I think I will add the times that come to consume in the McDonald's.
DeleteVery interesting. But I wonder if this will really make a difference. It's a little like organic foods. At the grocery store they say, oh, this one is better because it's organic--but is it really any different?
DeleteI always believe that junk food would ruin a nation. It subtly changes people's daily life habits and harms their bodies. My history professor suggests me to avoid eating McDonald's. Her son quit it for two years and then ate a hamburger from McDonald's. Then he got sick:(
DeleteGood writing.
DeleteGlad to see some changes on McDonald's. But is that really helpful with our body? People have raised their awareness of the health to prevent eating junk food. Still gonna be a problem when people talks about it.
antibiotic is a big problem in the world. i got infected with my eyes weeks age. what i am so angry with is that I could not buy the erthromycin eye ointment with the prescription. I need go to hospital first and this made me painful
DeleteFor me, even though they might change their materials I still don't wants to eat it. Fried foods can always be the worst thing to eat and it even isn't good for your health.
DeleteIts pretty nice to heard that they will use more healthy chicken. Even I'm not a big fan of McDonald's, I can feel that they try to provide their customers much healthier food .
Deletehttp://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/11/15/federal-ban-animal-testing-cosmetics/19090873/Recently,opponents of animal testing for cosmetics plan to make a big push for a similar prohibition in the United States. But it would be a tough sell in a Republican-controlled Congress. European Union banned the sale of new cosmetic products last year. U.S. should also have the legislation to ban animal testing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. But is there a solution? And do we really need more makeup? But at any rate, is the testing for cosmetic problems really bad for animals? (I can't see that it would hurt them--or would it?)

ReplyDeleteThis news is about the economy of Louisiana. Recently, Louisiana economy maintains steady and relatively fast growth, even nearly twice as fast as national economy. Although, sometimes, this state's economy was faced with challenge, such as oil price was dropping, the government tried their best to make tax remained unchanged and keep the people best interests. Because author thinks the most success for Louisiana is the prosperity of their people not government.
Louisiana had a hard time with all the flooding. Let's hope the economy continues to thrive. New Orleans in particular is a very fun town. I have a cousin who lives there--and she loves it. She would never want to live anywhere else. As soon as people were allowed to go back after the flood, she went straight back "home."
DeleteI took the news named "Will consumers answer Apple Watch's call?". It shows opposed opinions about Apple Watch. Some supporters said they would absolutely buy it because they think Apple Watch redefines the time that you only have 18hrs per day. And it simplifies people's life that people could use a watch to text someone and call somebody. But most of interviewers were disappointed with it. They think it is stupid that you should turn off your watch when you are flying. And iPhone could do everything that Apple Watch does, but Apple Watch could just do part of things that iPhone could do. Citizens also think it is too expense that it might worth a car. I agree with them and I think the watch could only use to tell people that "look! I am rich!". By the way, how could you expect a guy to buy a stupid watch that his girlfriend would use it to check his schedule?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/03/10/apple-watch-technology-your-say-tellusatoday/24735993/
what i think about this apple watch is that this is not only a watch, but also a ethos of the living. can you imagine you can do everything on a phone 10 years age? the developing of wearabe devices is inevitable.
Deletein fact, I think this product is useless, we cannot use this product to let our live become more easy and fun. in fact, I think will become more terrible you cannot use a watch as phone, but it still will take you a lot time
Delete"Everything's a one-year season for everybody as you move forward," Kelly said. Coach Kelly(HC of Philadelphia Eagles) spoke to the media for the first time since he swapped the quarterback(Nick Foles,former wildcats player) with St. Louis(Sam Bradford). It's kind of crazy, everything is throwing out my mind when I heard this new. But coach Kelly wouldn't have traded for Bradford if he didn't think he's got a tremendous upside as a quarterback. Like I said, it is a business, all you need to do is trying to become the best player as you can, and gives the rest of stuff to your agent.
ReplyDeleteBesides, Coach Kelly dispels the Mariota rumor about drafting him in first round in 2015. They have too many holes that they're going to take care of instead of mortgage their future to go all the way up to get somebody like that. During the offseason, the GM and HC are trying to snag or trade for their favorite targets from free agents. Just to see what will happen until the new season kicks off in September.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to write down the URL. Here it is:

ReplyDeleteIn 2014, chinese GDP growth was 7.4%, just below the official target of 7.5%. this means chinese grow on economy is getting slowly since the opening up and reform. china become the second largest economy in the world and this slowly growth leaded the Asian markets driving lower. this would represent a slowdown that will be felt domestically even as the country continues to readjust and reposition itself for this next phase of economic reform.
It's not much surprising because China being the most population country in the world can actually produce lots of intelligent people at a faster than any other countries in the world. The most populated highest above average high IQs located in China. before of these intelligent people, it is more likely that China can advance and probably over power the economies anywhere in the world.
DeleteChina has the most pupation country in the world, so i think the government must work harder to increase the growth to more than what is used to be. and what is the largest economy world?

ReplyDeleteYesterday, Warrior beat Piston. Up to now, Warrior wins 51 matches this semester. Steve Kerr has been preaching about keeping momentum and meeting a standard that the Golden State Warriors have set. Klay Thompson reached the 5,000-point milestone and knocked down two late 3-pointers in a 69-second span, leading Golden State past Detroit 105-98 on Wednesday night for its fifth straight win.

ReplyDeleteI have found an article called 'Will consumers answer Apple Watch's call?' This news web site is unlike others, you may find a lot of opinions from different people on your news. On this news, most people's view are positive even though the truth is Apple may behind the times. However, what I think this Apple watch will bring us to a revolution, revolution of portable technology. I believe next target of Apple will be either glasses or something more unbelievable. Let Apple bring us to an new age.
This is interesting. Actually Gogle is planning to start building a computerized glasses where you can surf through the internet, make call, and so on with onyl the use of glasses. Anyways, the comments on this article are probably from fanatic Apple consumers which is not surprising to hear all positive comments at all time. Trying telling Microsoft consumers to give comments on this article, I bet you they can find a lt more flaws of this Apple product than the inventor himself.
Deletesound interesting, however I think Microsoft's VR will more interested, but in this comments still give me impact for their product.

ReplyDeleteI read a article about people's opinion about apple watch. Some people believe that new apple watch is a high technology product which can provide us better life experience. However, there still many people do not like this new apple watch. They said that apple watch has no new functions and the words is too small to read.
my article theme is about Policing for profit perverts justic, for me I never hear policing for profit. but in the article, there is no doubt that there are already seen it in action. article explain some place especial some small town have long generated money for the local governments. but in the other hands, there have people think radar doesn't disciminate. policing as a profit center is most pernicious when the quest for money repeatedly targets.

I read an article called "Antibiotic-free chicken step up for McDonald's: Your Say." It talks briefly about satisfying customers' wants by not including anymore antibiotic in the food. Although the antibiotic is not used, some people still think that it is not healthy just because of one small thing. There are many other reasons to why this Mcdonald's fast food shouldn't be consumed daily. Not only that, these food would still not be considered as organic, rather it's just considered antibiotic-free. The problem with Mcdonald today is that the quality of the food are cutting down to wehre Wendy's begin to overtake the quality of the food of Mcdonald's. McDonald's should rethink about their food and try to make the food healthier, tastier, safer for consumers, and maintain or improve the quality of them.

ReplyDeleteAntibiotic-free chicken step up for McDonald's: Your Say
Fast-food as they called it junk food, it one of the worse thing you barely eat it in the life. We all know that most of the people don’t have enough time to cook their own food, and the price makes difference. In the article, McDonalds CEO is making their meats with no antibiotic that is harmful for humans. Unlike chick-fil, jack in the box and five guys. For me, since I arrived to the United States I never ate meat in any fast food meals, unless fish or vegetarian food.
thats such a great news to hear!
Deletei reas a very interesting article which says a father who is down on his luck shipped himself from UK all the way to Australia because he couldnt affort the air ticket. the preparation he did is only some clothes for change and some canned food,some water and some candy. but is so unfortunate. his journey totally cost 63hours and 13,000miles from Heatheow.

ReplyDeleteI think this video was very interesting and funny. However is important to mention that we have to be aware of the racism that still exists in schools and organizations all over the United States. In this case is very sad to see how member of a fraternity have such offensive attitudes. Is also important to mention that it results very ironic later on time, how members of these organizations are the ones that form part of the congress of the United States

ReplyDeleteChick-fil-A's success is a great pressure for new McDonald's CEO. To make McDonald also become sucessful, new McDonald's CEO decided to imitate Chick-fil-A, give a promise to customer that they will use chickens without antibiotics. This decision make Americans concern about antibiotic resistance and issues involving industrial agriculture. Also, people suggset McDonald to use beef raised without antibiotics.
