Creaney, Leon. Savulescu, Julian. and Vondy Anna(October 22, 2013). Should athletes be allowed to use performance enhancing drugs?. BMJ online. Retrieved May 27, 2015.


This article shows us the both sides of PEDs, which are pros and cons. Savulescu argues that rather than anning performance enhancing drugs we should regulate their use, but Creaney and Vandy state that would lead to increasing use and call for tougher enforcement. Savulescu argues that three good points of using PEDs, which are improving athletes abilities, improving safety, and allowing a substance safer. However, Creaney and Vondy have a counter arguments, which are that it might be escalating problems, making engineered athletes, and working by bans.

professional athletes should be allowed to use performance-enhanciong drugs?


While some people claim that it is not true all PEDs have bad effects, so they state PEDs should be allowed as long as they are monitored. However, in my opinion, it should be banned. There are two reasons. First, athletes have to compete fairly. As Catlin(2012) states, "Just as all athletes must begin at the same starting line, they must also abide by the rules about what drugs they use." The next reason is that it is bad for athletes’ heath. According to using PEDs they might be suffered from some diseases which cause to PEDs. Goodman mentions, "As I have listened to fighters discussing their performance-enhancing drug use, along with their accompanying heart, kidney, liver, bone, brain and psychiatric ailments." Because of those reason it should be banned for athletes and their competitors.

response


In my opinion if the interviewees come from a lower standard than India they might not feel comfortable. There are three reasons. At first, some people undergo discrimination when they have been countries, which have better economy situation. It’s like ignorance, and they hard to dispute others who ignored them. Of course expatriates might face hostility, not hospitality. Second, if interviewees live in a lower standard than India’s they can’t enjoy themselves for their financial problem. Some of the interviews are a teacher who teaches students to talk their own language. If they are a poor national people Indian might not learn expatriates’ native language.  If they can’t get a job in India their life is not satisfied. The last reason is that their work atmosphere maybe different from their countries. Interviewees feel comfortable because India’s work environment. But if they have not been abundance country they might not adapt new environment. If they are suffered from poor, they can’t concentrate their new culture. In conclude, if expatriates don’t have a nationality background like now, they may not enjoy their life in India.

A government mandatory is to take care of people who need some helps and aids. It is not only their fellow countrymen but also other countries people like developing people. Global warming is caused by greenhouse effect which is increased by human activities, and that becomes mainly reasons to developing countries. According to Handwerk(2004) states “Humane activities, burning fossil fuels concentrations by producing these gases(greenhouse gases) faster, have greatly increased than plants and oceans can soak them up”(line 117). This show developed countries have some responsibilities about global warming and that means they have a duty which is to blame for environment refugees. Also, Environment refugees can’t recover by themselves. The situation is getting worse. As Kakissis(2010) explains “…more than 90 percent of the Korail slum’s residents never leave because they cannot save enough money to leave”(para. 22). It means even though ERs endeavor to overcome their misery situation, but they can do that. We have to help them to recover their conditions. The last is that Global warming is not just problems of some specific countries. We are apt to think it isn’t our problem. However, global warming is a problem which is we have to solve together. Because Global warming is caused by rise sea levels. it is influenced by whole countries.

After viewing the movie


Q. Why did the filmmakers decided to have Siku be an ice sculptor? How does that choice of profession and type of art relate to the themes in the film?

 

Vincente and Siku are Environment Refugees. They lost almost everything because of melting ice. The filmmakers want to show us how they overcome their trauma about ice. At the first, Siku is an ice sculptor. It looks contradiction; however, I think it is a kind of reconciliation. Even though he lost his precious things by melting ice, but he has got good memories about ice. He sculpts ice, thereby he overcome his bad experience. The second, Vincente has some hostilities of ice, so he destroyed Siku’s arts and ice cubes. When Siku teaches how to make ice sculpture to Vincente the boy throw the ice. Siku looks at that and he does same action. It looks they throw their trauma. The last is that finally, Vincente remembers his happiness memories. Siku shows an action which is  rubbing  the ice on his face. Vincente looks at that, and he follows that action. In the end, he recalls his good experience before he becomes an environment refugee.

Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home_response


 Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home_respons
 
          In this article, Dhaka is weak at climate change because it just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods. In my opinion it is not only case of Dhaka. South Korea also has some problem about environmental damages. Therefore we have to prepare about environment damages. There are some reasons. At first, South Korea locates in peninsula. Kakissis further states that, “Dhaka is also extremely vulnerable to climate change: It is just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods.”(2010, para.9). According to this article people who live near the sea have to be aware of some situations. The second reason is that many people who live in Korea suffer from storms and floods every summer. There are about 30 to 40 storms per a year. They concentrate from august to september. Following to Kakissis “More intense storms and floods, salinization damage to crops caused by the encroaching sea…”(2010, para.7). There are also many people who underwent damages to crops. And the last is that there are not enough realistic alternatives. Every year many people are troubled with ERs, but compensations and aids are lacking. They have to restore their residences and work places. They need enough budget, but it is difficult to get some cost. If there is no compensation they must be difficult to recover. In conclusion we have to make some measures about environment damages.

Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home

Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home” by Joanna Kakissis is a story about some people who have to move to their home because of natural calamities. In case of Bangladesh, there were storms and floors, so many people migrated to other country. They have suffered from poor. For that reason they have no choice but to work even though they can’t receive reasonable wages. Also, children have to work to help their family. Some families parted with their family members because they don’t have good economy situation. In addition, they continue worrying about other natural disasters like floods.

 Innovations for the Developing World


Innovations for the Developing World by Erick Shonfeld is a writing about two inventions which are helping people who are developing countries. The inventor name is Dean Kamen. Kamen wants to solve problems which are water for drinking and electricity of developing countries. Kamen experiments the machines for electricity in real situation. It is significant innovation because it can help developing countries people who don’t have productivity and leisure time. And he’s another device is water-cleaning machine. Kamen and Iqbal Quadir have joined for distributing the machines for rural villages. Their vision is to copy the decentralized economic distribution model with electricity. They believe that model will be more beneficial for developing country.

I impressed about his initiative because many people knew the developing countries problems. But they didn’t show in their action. Also, he invented some inventions then proceeded to adapt the real situation. Of course his inventions were made to consider actualities. So, it helps people who really need machines.
