Lynn Son: The Internet

There is now something called INTERNET. The internet is as bad as it is good. It has been one of the biggest modern technologies in our life. When it came out several decades ago, people were enthusiastic about the potential of internet and it has been regarded as a magic. Most of the people living in the present use it, because it is fast and it carries a lot of information. It has brought positive changes in our lives; however, there are these who believe it has changed our lives for the worse. Nowadays people who are attracted to the internet confront harmful environment. They would accept any information without judgment.
These are ways of the Internet has improved our life. First of all, it gives us information. We can get and share new knowledge from web sites such as GOOGLE and YAHOO. It brings us up to date with not only the latest news but also our needs. Another advantage of the internet is convenience. It is the greatest access to information. It is also very portable. You could access internet with cell phone, palm and net book whenever and wherever. It has another advantage of speed and saving the time. You do not have to go outside to do your shopping. Instead you can go the internet and look for your favorite products. However, the internet, like everything else has its own flaw on the pearl.
There may be some advantages in the internet. The Internet causes people to be isolated from the society and cuts off relationship. It makes people hermits and loses humanity. Another problem is Internet addiction. Also they become addicted it. They feel like they need to use the Internet everyday to survive. Our lives could be center around the Internet just like our daily meals and rests. It has another downside. Even without proven information, it could spread as quickly as fire; the internet users accept the information without a second thought. It influences people to believe nonsense rumors as if it really exists.
As a result the internet has its positives and negatives. It depends on how you use it. It could make us social hermits or it could be an unreliable library. As well, we cannot imagine our lives without modern technology such as the internet with a capacity of information. What kind of user would you prefer to be? How about we have a right judgment and try to filter harmful information when we use it.

Lynn Son: Private Schools

The private schools have been desired by not only students who are curious about new and diversified contents, but also parents who want their children to have academic challenges and varieties. There are some attractive reasons which make people willing to attend the private school. The private schools have both advantages and disadvantages.
This is advantage of the private schools. For one thing, its philosophy of education is noticeable. It respects each and every student’s uniqueness as individuals. The private school students can choose freely their interests and develop individually. They also have more chance to know as much as they need because of its method of teaching. They learn one by one and step by step depending on their ability, although non private schools students learn in groups all at once. Other advantages of the private schools are academic challenges. It has diverse curriculums. It teaches academic skills as well entertainments, such as art, music and more experiment with science. The students in the private schools have more opportunities of playing musical instrument and experiences.
However, it has disadvantages. The numbers of students in private schools are limited. Students in average families could hardly get opportunities, because of its tuition. This is exceedingly high for average families. Furthermore, it has other disadvantages of the lack of real life and social environment. The students in the private schools do not have enough chance to get along with the less fortunate. They could be less aware of social environment and what is happing around world.
In my opinion, the private schools have advantages and disadvantages. I could not say it is ideal for your children and my children. Also I am neither passionate nor dissatisfied about it. Are you interested applying for these educational advantages even if it has these risks? These benefits might encourage you accept to it or disadvantages discourge you not to accept it.

Lynn Son: Crime

Nowadays, we confront with news of criminal every day. It ranges from the first offence to even worse crime against humanity. No one is pleased with this, but it still constantly happens everywhere in the world. The criminal psychologists have been studying the way of crimes and how we could prevent crime. In addition, the criminal investigators have been trying very hard, but it still is an issue. How can we reduce the rate of crime? What reasons contribute to committing crime especially by younger criminals? Roots of crimes are debatable and it should be discussed in public. In my view, there are two main reasons of crime.
First of all, family history is the first cause of crime. First, family relationship is really important to childhood. This loveless childhood makes those who have no one to talk to commit crime easily. Divorce of parents develops nonchalant behaviors as well as wanting to leave their troubled homes. This is unconcern; nobody is there to fix their problems, cheer them on, or care for them. They only establish their personalities by themselves. Most of the criminals have records of criminal family as children see, children do. Second, poverty in family is an essential cause of crime. Their needy childhood makes them commit minor crimes. They want to get what others have and have a full stomach. It makes people to grow from pencil thieves into bank robbers. The minor criminals are often forced by circumstances like unstable employment, low wage and financial problems.
Society is also responsible for crime. Education from school and community is insufficient. Most of the juvenile offences who have poor judgments did not complete school. Either they were underachievers, or they were expelled from school. Society is reform programs for the criminals are ineffective; seems to be futile to train them for new lives, for the juvenile offenders are not rehabilitated. Our society hates criminal and turns them away from our surroundings. Mass media, meanwhile, is a supporter of crime. The first offenders’ crime is often imitated from the mass media. The criminal has free information on the Internet, and movies send out violence and scenes of crime without filter. Peer groups from school or neighborhood influence juveniles to unexpectedly turn into crime. These groups put pressure on youth offender to commit crime easily.
In my opinion, crime is a combination of consequences from family history and society. Though no reasons could be used as an excuse for crime, it should be considered in public. The family has to remember that an example is better than advising, and to raise the children fondly. Society has to support effectively until the criminals find their niche in the society. We should admit that it is not their own fault; moreover, we have to find fault with all of us. Do you want to start your fresh morning without criminal news? How about joining me to help stop crime before it starts?
