Part of YourWorldView's Thought for Food Season, Meal of the Day is a short documentary that tells the story of the people directly involved with the production and consumption of pagpag.

Pagpag is a Filipino term used to describe leftover foods usually from restaurants and household wastes that are thrown away in dumpsites and collected by rubbish scavengers to be recooked and sold to the poorer population. Pagpag has begun to steadily become almost a staple food for the poor despite the health issues that arises through its consumption.

Now a day, we use the internet more than ever. We view the internet and the mobile phone as appositive aspect of our society. The internet and mobile phone systems are the two biggest systems of communication which play a crucial role in our daily activities. On the other hand, these technologies are also use negatively. Many people misuse internet in unethical way for example, cyber bullying and invasion of privacy.

First, cyber bullying it is the first type of misusing the technology by people who makes a fake profile on social network sites and email, so they can anonymously threaten a person and take his personal information.

Second, invasion of privacy by using technology for example, some people taking a photo or making a video for people on the street without their knowing because of their actions or reckless behavior toward something specific and share it in social media without knowing the real reason behind their behaving.

From my opinion, to overcome this issue first we as a followers of social media sites we must not misjudge the people who are in these type of pictures or video and make bad comments without knowing the hidden truth. Second the technological society should still under the control of the government, and they should punish those who take or share personal information from other people without rights.

Nowadays the social media is playing a major rule in our life . Many people use social media to socialize and see news , but that’s not mean that everything in it is true !

It’s a big mistake to judge anyone from what you see in social media or any other place .

Every story that you hear it or see it in social media has two sides , so think before you speak and judge , because you don’t know what’s the other side of that story , and you don’t know the fact and what are the reasons behind this situation .

Rumors spread quickly from person to person due to the social media and It causes bad effects . It lead to psychological and social problems and spread the fear in the society . So you should make sure you know whole story, because you might hurting someone . It’s a bad feeling when you think that person is bad due to what you watch but in fact he\she is not !

In conclusion, you should consider that you are  responsible for what you post in social media . In my opinion it’s better to avoid posting anything before you investigate.

They also only saw that the boss rented the place to them but didn't know that she bought vegetables that the greengrocers couldn't sell out. They only comment on the Internet, but it's exactly such a behavior that hurt other's hearts.Luckily she is still doing everything the same way as always, and accepted criticism from people's lack of understanding.A one-sided evaluation of something has became a common phenomenon in today's society.As far as I am concerned,we should evaluate something objectively, and make clear the cause of the event.

In the world have a lot of people about 7600 million. They are different and we can't stop thinking everyone. Nowadays, Some people are attacking others without knowing it with something as we call "technology". Technology has both advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how we use it. This video is  misleading because they didn’t think before they shared. Some pictures or short video is not same meaning as we see.            I believe that as long as the coin has two sides humans are as well both good and evil. Sometimes we see. This girl is beautiful. This guy is handsome that they are good people and look at the people who do not smile, face scold, talk the loud voice. That is not good. All this because we judge people outside. For example, My friend told me First time, she did not like me because I'm not smiling The eyes do not care anyone but after we have done so many together, she says  I am a fun and lovable person. She said sorry to me as I think you not good. I just smile because this is my intention, I don’t want people to look at me outside. I like people to talk to me do not just look and think to myself how I am.

In conclusion , we should not judge others just by looking outside. And should think well before sharing information from the Internet. If the shared data is not as real as we have destroyed one . However, I do believe that someday people will recognize it.

At first, I was shocked by the behavior of the boss and the way she treats her stalls renters, and why she treats them like that in a rude, inhumane way, but after I have watched the whole video, I recognized that I was wrong and I felt bad of judging someone from one perspective. Most people in that video did the same thing I did. They thought that the boss was psycho, vicious and bloodsucker without even knowing the entire story. They wanted to bankrupt her because they thought she was oppressing the poor, hurting the elderly people and confiscating goods from anyone who cannot pay the rent, which was completely not true. Instead, she was taking care of them, helping them out, providing a better place for them and telling them not to cheat customers on the scales. I think that one-sided judgment is a very common problem in social media. People need to open their minds before judging anyone for a better life and better society.

# data[].attributes.body
With the development of society, news updates faster and faster, but these news really just like we see it? I'm not mean some news cheated us. I mean, some news seems to us just like a coin. You can’t see both sides of it at the same time. And this video is very clear that the problem, the person who make the video may only see the bad side of the boss,so I think he is not wrong, he just sent something that they know,online commentator is not wrong They are just a boycott of the something bad they feel.I think nobody  made the real mistakes in this video, they just reacted to what they saw, and they just did not see the other side of the news.

From boss's point of view, in my opinion, her greatest goodness is not good for others, but it can still be done as before without being rumored and not changed because of the rumors

# data[].attributes.body
In this short video, I just have two opinions when I watched this video.

1.    Don’t think you are rich and you can do anything, pay attention to your quality. Everyone needs respect. Whether poor or rich.

2.    You will be post to internet (such as Facebook, Youtube, etc.) when you do something stupid. Too many people will know your bad things and your information, address and your location.

There are really these people now. You think you are rich and you can do anything or even hurt others. I think this is not good, everyone has its own existence value. They are different role in this world. So we should respect everyone.

When high-tech becomes the mainstay of life. We should make good use of these technologies. Although these technologies have brought us a lot of benefits, but there are some bad in these tech. You can see your local news or international news in a short time. But you can also see the bad things in a short time. I think we still need to have own judgments. Do not comment on something that happened, whatever good or bad. A lot of things, take a look is enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t make your words a weapon.Have you ever left a vitriolic comment under someone's Twitter? Have you ever thought that your words may hurt them in a casual way?There are so many examples that we judged a person from one-sided stories and the misunderstanding blinded us.Due to the misunderstanding we always treated them with degarding language to let off steam.What we didn't know is that our improper comments broke some virtuous people's heart although we didn't do it on purpose.

Therefore we need to think it again before we want to judge someone.

Don't judge anyone from one-sided stories. Open your mind before judging anyone for a better society.

Heather Lanier’s daughter Fiona has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic condition that results in developmental delays -- but that doesn’t make her tragic, angelic or any of the other stereotypes about kids like her. In this talk about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey of raising a rare girl, Lanier questions our assumptions about what makes a life “good” or “bad,” challenging us to stop fixating on solutions for whatever we deem not normal, and instead to take life as it comes.

# data[].attributes.body
Najah Alrasheedi  ( Task 2)

What message the speaker is trying to convey?

When we think something it’s good and correct from our side and in future we discover suddenly it is bad. We should believe that nobody can know what is bad or good or absolutely true we should accept what we face in our life by more satisfaction and conviction.

What you understand or learn from the talk, and relate the message with your life experience by giving examples?

from my experience i remember when I was worked in big company in sales cosmetics in high position  and took good salary also high bonus every 6 month and after worked with them four years  I decided to resignation to complete my dream to get master degree by my own finance.

I took my decision to travel to Egypt to get my master degree. Most of my friends ignore me after that. In last semester of my master degree, I sent my C.V for many company but nobody respond .In a moment I thought maybe I achieved my dream but I lost good job.

After two weeks i read in website there are Government University want recruitment of faculty members in the field of specialization I sent my CV and my papers after one week they called me and give me appointment for interview and exam. my family and some neighbors they told me they don't accept me because there are a lot of people submitted for the  position and most of them graduated from UK and USA how they accept you and you are  graduate from Arab university.

I put all this behind me and I went to interview and exam. I shocked when i entered for exam because me and one woman in exam. When I asked them they told my only you and her we accepted for job,

Finally they hired me for job. Now, I working   in university with good salary and allowances.

After all that, I believe nobody can know what is bad or good or absolutely true we should accept what we face in our life by more satisfaction and conviction

Task 2
Chen Xing:

As the proverb says ，“Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise”In the video , we can see, The daughter of the speaker has a rare disease, and all the doctors say negative words . But her mother never give up her.Like video says, “Good or bad hard to say.”

As we all know, There are two sides to a coin, Likewise, good and bad coexist. When we met with some difficulties, please don’t see the difficulties just see something good .And full of confidence ,believe in yourself. When you push through the dark clouds you can see the sky. Also, when you over come the difficulties you will taste the happiness. No matter how bad things are, you must know, There must be something good you didn't see, so you should try your best to find the good things and hold on. Good or bad , hard to say. It depends on yourself , if you just see the bad , no matter how much good you won’t see . On the contrary, if you see the good, you will full of hope and believe strongly you can make it.

In a brief, You can't judge a thing by one thing, you must know Suffering is the blessing of the incarnation. So, good or bad , hard to say.

Kate---task2  We can see from her about her love for her daughter, and when her child was born, she hopes, wants her child has a brilliant mind and a happy life.  But the heroine's daughter has a genetic disease that causes stunting. At first, she was disappointed, but that does not make her tragic. In this talk about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey of raising a rare girl. She questions our assumptions about what makes a life. And “Good or bad, hard to say”.  The story is not about looking on the bright side or waiting to see how things turn out. We need to make things concrete by judgement. When things are going well, we can't relax. When the process of development deteriorates, we need to calm down, find ways to solve problems, and learn to translate problems.   There are a lot of examples of this around us. For example, special Olympics for disabled people, they've all experienced grief and pain, but they didn't give up on yourself, family is the spiritual pillar, so that they constantly surpass themselves, and through a variety of ways to find their sparkle, and even completed some normal person can do. Use the old saying “Good or bad, hard to say”.

“you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and may love a thing although it is evil for you “ surah AL-Baqara Ayah 216

I think this is the message that speaker is trying to convey.

Everything happens in this world , it is not absolute good or bad thing . Sometimes good things turned out to be bad things , while bad things maybe bring benefits to you eventually.

Good and bad are incomplete stories , so you should proceed and loosen your grip and don’t gripping tightly to the story of good or bad .

Last year was the worst and longest year in my life . I had some dreams and I wish it had achieved. But unfortunately it did not . After eight months I released my grip and repeated may be it is good for me.

Unexpectedly, In October everything came true .As I thought that my dream would not be achieved in October in last year, It became true in the same month in the following year . Although this situation looked unequivocally bad to me I found out that it brought a lot of benefits to me .

In conclusion, bad things benefited us if we seize them  and don't feel too sad or despair .

From this video, I understand that the speaker is trying to convey that the disabled should not be discriminated. She also hopes that people from all livings will not discriminate those persons with disabilities and respect these special groups or even on their own life.

As far as I concerned, Some of them have no arms, some can't see the colourful world, and some can't hear the wonderful rhythms... We should support them with cares and encourage them to have their life as us, full of sunshine, full of happiness and hope. Besides the help from others or government, as long as we are independent and dignified as a person, it’s a good expression of our life to help them.

A man suddenly came across my mind, he is Liu Wei. He is a pianist without arms. In 2006, he began to learn playing piano by his feet. He used only a year to play the piano whereby the music he played equivalent to grade 7 of those who used hand in  playing piano, "the wedding in dream" is the music written by him.

So disabilities shouldn’t be the excuses to limit your steps, just do it.

·         Heather Lanier trying to convey a message that everything happens in this life, there is no definite good or bad. Sometimes good things turned to be bad in the end, while bad things become an achievement.

·         When the hard times hit, and the challenges we face are great, we can either let our situation define us, let it destroy us or let it strengthen us. The choice is ours to make, its either to let our difficult circumstances destroy us or accept our destinies and move forward in life.

·         I have previous experience of similar conditions. When i complete the high school study I didn’t get the degree I needed to rush in to the university I'm dreaming of, and at that time I felt devastated and my future expectation gone into another way. And then I went to college that I don’t want and the specialty that I really hate. And after that things have changed I loved the specialty that I hate, and I succeed in my study. But after all, I can't judge my future if its going to be good or bad it's hard to say.

Speaker wanted to covey that whatever happens to us in our life could be good for us even if we think of it as a bad thing or bad luck. People today are becoming very judgmental, they are very keen to label a situation. Not seeing the situation truly as it is will make you to miss great chances, because you will see them as a bad luck.

Two years ago, I had the chance to study in China with a scholarship, and all my friends came to me and said, "Oh, you are so lucky!" but I refused that scholarship. Even though, that was a bad decision. I learned many things in my life and I visited some places I never thought of visiting them someday before I got the chance to study in Malaysia. In some situations, it is hard for us to decide whether doing this thing is Good or bad, or hard to say.

This video the speaker trying to convey everything that happens in this world. Nothing is good or bad. The speaker teaches us that in life, there is no certainty.

I learned that .We can’t just look at one side and be able to judge at a time. Sometimes the life we ​​see is terrible. It may turn out to be a good thing. Or worse It may turn out to be a good thing in the future.

My life is also .Three years ago I lost my grandfather. Been together for 23 years. I was very sad, I thought hard at first I can’t But the time has taught me to accept and understand. We have no absolute life. It is common for people to die from each other.

Another thing is that last year I decided to study in the USA to study English languages. This is the biggest decision. I expect so much. But then I was disappointed. This is the biggest decision. I expect so much. But then I was disappointed. At that time, I felt very bad after this incident. Go out to see other people's lives. I know that there is someone worse than me. And I've got new friends. The event taught me to think what we would do. Life must always have a backup plan.

What is happening to us? both good and bad. Do not rush, give it a try, and then we'll know what's good or bad through our own experience and learning. Do not urgently decide. Let's spend time with this and then we will know what is good or bad through our own experience and learning.

Transcript of "The danger of a single story"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
TED Talk Subtitles and Transcript: Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

# data[].attributes.body
The speech is about the danger of a single story.The speaker lists many examples, such as her American roommate had sympathy for her before did not know Africa , and the author always think of poor for her footman , or in the United States when it comes to immigration everyone will think of Mexico. That's the danger of a single story. The false belief that things are false before people know something about the truth is misleading people about the truth and may also harm some people at the same time. What the author wants to convey to us is not to draw conclusions before we have learned the truth. We used to say, don't judge a book by its cover, like the author here, don't through some media video to understand in Africa, where you don't know, Africa also have countless surprise and surprised. There are many of these things in our lives. The most common, for example, when you go to a country which is the first time to go, the Internet is always show some glamorous scenes, and to explore the real yourself only to find that there may be some bad aspects, and it really aware of the danger of single story.

What message the speaker is trying to convey

The authors wrote their books from their point of view, and we should believe if there   black side there also white side.

(ii) What you understand or learn from the talk, and relate the message with your life experience by giving examples.

We usually when we were children we learn from books and we think the life like what we were reading but in reality the life it is the real teacher for us because  authors the wrote their books  from their opinion.

In our life we hear from our friends and relatives about their thoughts which maybe we follow without thinking which may be wrong also.

For that we should research about the truth which of course can help us to understand the life because when we see the whole picture we can make decision which of course better for us   .

In the end we should not believe the single story.

Peng Kun task3If we hear only a single story,we will make a critical misunderstanding

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker explains how absurd it is to accept a single message and to judge a thing or country or person by its own thoughts.
From the video,I know that the simplification of information will influence a person's thinking, so that people's judgment is one-sided, and wrong.The consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.
And it is impossible to be a single story for any country, nation or a person.
Several years ago,when people talked about my hometown Linyi,they always said Linyi is very poor or do you have electric light?Because Linyi was very poor about 60 years before,but now BMW and Mercedes Benz are full of street.A half hour traffic jam is daily,we are not the same as before.
"All stories are not single, and when we reject a single story, we will regain a paradise when we realize that there is no single story anywhere."

# data[].attributes.body
The novelist Chimamanda is trying to convey that our lives , our behavior , our cultures and our countries contain various and multiple stories . Show people as one thing robs people of dignity and makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult , and emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.

Single stories do not represent or define us . They can not become the identity of us , because they are not completed .

Stereotypes are one story , part of story , but an uncompleted story. So we should realize that no one has a single story and there is never a single story about any place and any culture .

This is much like what is happening now is some countries that have Islamophobia which is an intense fear of Islamic religion or Muslims , and seen them as terrorists . That is because they hear a single story about Islam and Muslims . And don’t know that Islam is the religion of the peace and mercy .
When we reject the single story and realize that there is never a single story about any place and any person  , we regain a kind of paradise.

Chen Xing  task 3                  The Danger of a Single Story    In this video, we can see the speaker say about her experience in USA , There are a lot of people who just hear very one-side news and comment on it. This is gradually becoming a form .   When i was young, one day, when i was in Chinese class, my deskmate saw a picture in the textbook, it was a black kid with a bag of food. So my deskmate said this must be a very poor child and he had no food to eat so he pick up a bag of food. But in fact this is a good kid who gives food to children who have no food. At that time, i don’t understand why my deskmate said that. Now, after watch this video, i understand we sometimes just depend on one hand to judge one thing or one person. But this may cause a very big misunderstanding.    We often perceive things according to our	own ideas, that’s a lot of things to ignore. So i hope before we say something, thing more and more.

Kate---Task3Through this video, the author wants to tell us, we refuse a single story. If we want to fully understand a region or a nation, we must fully understand all the stories related to that area. The result of a single story is that it takes away people’s dignity. And a single story makes it difficult for us to realize the equality between people.In our life, we often judge a person or a country's conduct and ethos only through a book or a sentence of others, which is only a one-sided and one-sided judgement of external things. For example, now stars, they sometimes have some negative news. They can be sent to the Internet. We can't judge whether they are good or bad. It's one-sided and single. Just like the author's initial understanding of Fide. He is easy to think that their home is poor only through their family, which will bring support to FIDE's family. Later, he learned that FIDE's brother had the skill of knitting a grass basket. Poverty is only the author's single understanding of them. Therefore, we should from many others, understand others, absolutely cannot depend on the personal view. It should be the same for society.

People need to reject a single story. We hear single stories every day and everywhere. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a situation where we make a single story for other people. People really need to change their behaviors toward this and say NO to single story which leads to stereotypes, because, as the speaker say, it robs people of dignity, it makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult and it emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.

We as international students hear many single stories and this creates incomplete stereotypes of some people from specific country, city or area. We should not accept that, because this might affect our social life, emotions and it will not let us interact with others due to what we have in our minds about them. We all need to do is to stop judging people by single story and before we even get to know them.

This video the speaker trying to convey tells her story of her true cultural identity and warns that if we hear only one story about another person or country, we risk a major misconception.
From the video, I learned that we can’t judge a person or a country we heard only from others. In this video,  Chimamanda said people from other countries Always look at Nigeria. Is a poor country She did not deny it. Because she is still happy with her life and her identity.  Maybe just one event they met. They think the same thing. Especially bad stories, people often remember.
Like in the south of Thailand, there are incidents of unrest, TV news, newspapers, and media Just Present a bad story  For example, a fire / explosion event. Make the people from different  area are terrified  but actually the people in the area are still living normal happy. The media should offer useful news, such as the nice of people in the area, interesting cultures and natural attractions because that the area is a good place to visit.
I always believed telling from others Nothing is true 100 percent. There are both truths and unreal things. Some events we have to touch ourselves to understand.

That is my first “single story” told me what is different between I heard and I saw.For example, the government changes or revises laws every year, and it will continue to do next year. But, it was not means that these rules are bad or wrong, they may just not suitable for nowadays.

·         The speaker wanted to convey that how a single story only shows one side of a people, and how a single story starts a stereotype and how that stereotype may not be wrong, it is just incomplete. By only seeing things from one point of view we can’t estimate a people because we only know one side of them

·         Our lives, our cultures, are made-up of many overlapping stories so if we hear only a single story about another person or country we risk a crucial incorrect interpretation.

·         From my point of view, all people are exposed to the wrong judgment because of misunderstanding or listening to the story from one side only. I have a previous experience in listening to the story from one side for example, people from other countries they keep telling me about how the situation in my country is insecure and dangerous, just because they see that in news. But the truth is the situation in my country is not so bad as they have heard or seen.

The speaker told us two simple stories.The first one is he met a homeless man.The second one is what her daughter said.I learned something from them.Firstly,you can not judge people with their appearance,and you can not overflow your sympathy blindly.Because you don’t know what they really want to get.Secondly,it is not just enough to say that  something that is not good.Because you can say that,that is wrong,but what are you doing that’s right?We have a inflexible mode for something.

For me,I think I will be patient,because cook a meal is a time wasting job.I will be generous,because I never mind helping others.I will be single-minded,because I have loved Kobe for ten years.

In this video,I thought a lot.I want to be more confidence,brave,outgoing in the future.First of all,I need to get ready to face every unknown challenge.Failure is not terrible,what is terrible is that you do nothing and follow the destiny.Secondly,I need to change my attitude.I hate someone make fun of me when I do something wrong.It makes me not dare to try something new.Last but not least,I need to change my lifestyle.I always stay up late,and think of some bad memories.So I have to early to bed and early to rise.

Why we shouldn’t shy away from sexual education | Dr. V. Chandra-Mouli | TEDxChisinau

# data[].attributes.body
I learned sex and sexuality first was in the biology textbook.I learned the genital system and HIV.I know I need to protect myself,and never bother others about the sex and sexuality.Because if I do this,it means I’m in bad taste.I learned the sex and sexuality when I was thirteen or fourteen years old.I think it is necessary for me to learn it,and I was adequate prepared for that.

I think some parents who are traditional maybe talk about this topic very less,and it is not good for the teens.My parents told me some ways to make me keep healthy.Because of some traditional views,cultures and religious.Some parents talk about the sex rarely.

As far as I’m concerned,with the progress of education and the improvement of national quality.One day parents will talk about the sex to the teens uncovered.

I think sex is a personal topic,so the media,religion and culture will cause a bad influence and a shy perform.But maybe the media,culture and religion will protect someone and let them know the importance of the sex.Maybe the public thinks it’s too early for the youth to be acceptable.

Some puberty youths are confused for the sex,so the comprehensive sex education can make them keep healthy for their body and mentality.

When somebody did a bad thing, most of us know that it is a wrong thing or a bad consequence. However, only a few of us will stand up and try to change this consequence or to do some things to solve the problems. Like the elder woman. She could identify the throw rubbish is a wrong thing, but she just said it and do nothing. Until the trash was picked by speaker.
In this world, most of us belong to the type of people who can identify the problems but did not do anything. Our society taught us how to compete with others, and defect others. And we are so dependent on outside world. Thus, we forget to pay attention to ourselves including me.
I always wish that I could become the third type of person who can stand up and to ‘pick up the trash’ to make it better, not always pose a pork face and ignore the others like now.
It may take for a long time to transfer this attitude, but I would try to be from little things at least I do want to be the people who throws the garbage to the ground. Hoping one day I could be the person in this speech which person the speaker tried to told us to be.

This video the  speaker trying to convey tells his experience from where he learned from the homeless man, his own daughter,  the person who dumps the garbage and women . It teaches you to be content with what you have. Society should teach everyone to have a good heart from within because today people look at others just outside. So they have to try to make themselves look good. Try to show a variety of actions to allow others to accept. The fact is that being yourself is the best. Should be a good example for others to follow.

Let's think about the past many times we speak and criticize others, such as why we do this, why not do it, then what do we do more than say?  We want people to do what we say. But we did not do anything for others. Should do even though no one said that should do. Do with willing hearts.

For me in the future I expect to be good in society. Can help and benefit others. I will continue to be my own.  i will not compare or compete with others. Have a thought of yourself As long as I do not make anyone miserable. I'm satisfied. I will be more optimistic and not judge people just for a moment , Act more than just say I was taught that. Action is better than words.

Kate--------Task 4

This video reveals our shortcomings in real life. What it wants to tell us is to think about what we should do before we accuse others.

The speaker passed two examples of his life cause our thinking. Today’s own, only know that others are not easy to live but do not know other people‘s thrift. And tomorrow you know that you should tell others the right way of doing it instead of criticizing and scolding.

When we see people without food, we should do our best to help them. This should be the act we have been keeping. But many beggars do not eat food from other people, and they will get food with their own ability and they never throw away food. So, while we are giving help to others, we are also respectful and considerate to others. When we see someone discarding the garbage, we should tell him the right thing to do and let him throw the garbage in to the trash. Instead of scolding and criticizing him.

Therefore, we need to compare with ourselves yesterday, to realize our shortcomings objectively, improve and improve ourselves.

Chen Xing     Task 5In this video, Dr. V. Chandra - Mouli tells us about sexuality education, he said sexuality education is not just teaching about sex , reproduction or how to avoid problems. We shouldn’t shy away from sexuality education. We should learn about sexuality education with the right attitude.In fact, many parents always think their children are too young to accept sex too soon. So they try to keep their children away from sex as much as possible. Many children don't know what is in his experience, don't know how to resist, also don't know if I should tell their parents, so they are at young age to suffer mental and physical abuse. I first learn about sex and sexuality at 6 years old and my parents tell many things about this. There are health education classes in our school. I know  that when we are disturbed we seek help, not silence. I think I'm quite prepared.My parents and teachers tell us when you don't know what the other person is doing, or the other person touches your body or does something that makes you uncomfortable, tell them.So I think Early sex education doesn't make kids bad; instead, it's a way for kids to protect themselves. So don't give up on your children because they're young, because bad people never think about your child's age.

The speaker is trying to convey a message about some of our personal and social problems, and what we can do to confront and get rid of them. Some of these negative social problems are food waste, garbage and stereotype.

First, we are consumer more than producer when its come to food. We throw away our extra food without thinking that there are people who really need this food we threw.

Secondly, the speaker highlighted another social problem: when we see some people throwing dirt in the ground, we criticize them instead of pic it up and throwing it in the trash, to get rid of this negative phenomenon in our society.

Thirdly, and the most devastating personal social problem is we are always trying to satisfy our society more than satisfying ourselves when it com to how we look, our action and sometimes our ambition. We do all these things just to fit people and community fund.

At the end I learned from this video how to think carefully before turnout for any act ,when I see a negative phenomenon in the society, I have to change it, not criticize it and finally I should satisfying myself not people and achieving my dreams and ambitions  not theirs, because satisfying people is something we cannot achieve it.

The Sept. 11 attacks, the Iraq war and suicide bombings worldwide have changed not only the way we live but the way we look at those around us, especially Muslims. "Islamophobia" has entered the American vernacular, and the anti-Muslim attitudes and prejudice it describes remain common.

The speaker is trying to convey that society teaches us to look at ourselves a lot but not really look for ourselves . And it’s not enough to say that is wrong , but we should do right . In addition the worth is not that we have or how big of that thing it must be . The worth is honesty , compassion , mercy , love and generosity . Finally our story is not our story if we force ourselves to become someone else’s story .

The only person we need to compare ourselves today to is the person we were yesterday .

In the future, I see myself as a self-possessed woman who learned a lot from the life . I will be like I want , not like what someone supposed to be , satisfy myself not others and do the positive not just talking about it

To improve you should judge yourself, do the positive not only talking about it , follow your visions and be your tomorrow

Najah (Task 5)

I first learned  about sex and sexuality in middle  and high school ,  in science   also in Islamic subjects because in KSA we take  Hadith and Holy Quran as subjects  so the  teachers can told  us a lot of information  about  sex and sexuality  from the religious side ,for that I  think the  teens and parents can  improve their communication about sex through awareness of religion because the religion covers all aspects of human life, including ’ sexual relations but  most parents and teens have no frank discussions about sexuality because they feel shy and sensitive to talk   about this subject.

I learned from Islam that sexual urge should be achieved only through marriage, it has allowed marriage as soon as the boy and the girl reach the age of puberty and sex without marriage it will be (Zina) that not allowed in Islam also Islam advised to avoid sexual intercourse during menses so as not to cause discomfort to the woman.. .etc. For that    feel I prepared and understood enough in sex and sexuality.

I think we can allowed to sex education    in a way that informs  young people about sexuality in scientific   ,religious  and moral terms.

-Cindy (task 5)                       When I first time learned about the sex and sexuality was from a biology lesson in primary school. The lesson taught me about the physical different between the male and female. I took this lesson is nearly 14 or 15 years old which I think it was a little late of my physical development.Because I was being told by my mother until the day was come, I never received any this kind of information before. Most of parents are avoid to talk about this kind of conversation until they have to like my parents. Maybe they were shy or embarrass to have discussion about that because in my culture it is a thing shouldn’t be mention in public even at home.Thus, everyone even the society are ignore this kind of questions rather than discuss them. But luckily, we still can communicate this kind of questions with friends who are truthy helpful. And another helper we possessed is Internet which make us not feel  shy to ask. But I think the most important helpers for children should be the parents.In lots of countries ,the people are affected by their culture. And so many culture ,they are all avoid to talk about that because they believe it is the best way for youth to avoid troubles.However, it may put the children into a dangerous position also if children do not anything about that. Even the public ignore it but we all know the problems are still existed and unsolved. So I believe that we must have the sex education not only understand the development of the our body, but also protect ourselves from a safer way.

Kate------Task5   The idea of this video tells us the necessity of sex education. I have hardly ever learned about this knowledge from school. When i read the speech, i know that it is necessary for our children to learn and understand the knowledge about sex from childhood.   This speech focuses on three aspects of sexuality education. Firstly, we are shying away from sexuality education. I remember that when i was 8 years old, school teachers had taught us about physical knowledge. We can not get the knowledge from the textbook, and some parents do not know how to tell the child about it. We can only get information about this from the internet. The secondly is sexuality education does not harm children and adolescents. It can do a lot of good. Sexuality education will affect children’s self identification, gender self expression, gender role behavior, estrus reaction and future sexual goal selection, which will help children to live happily.  Thirdly, children and adolescent need, and have a right to, sexuality education. Network media should guide children correctly and carry out sex education in a proper way.

Najah (Task 4)

I think he give us lesson  we should do the right things and when we see something wrong we should be honest to tell the truth without afraid which of course help us to learn more about the life that help us to be better tomorrow.

I think when we die, people will remember things that we have done, for example kindness, helpful for people, encourage your family or friends…….etc.

I think I will be a good person, because i believe that "Examine yourselves before you are examined" so when I try do something I should be honest with myself and try to do it  ,without think what will people think about  me .

for example when i see someone  throw the papers  on floor I try to  told him do not do that  I try to give him advice  and  I take the papers from the floor and throw it  in a trash to send short message for him, I don't feel shy to do the right things.

I think I improve myself in the future when we  learn from other people who doing the a good things by great ways without think what people they say about them or what they are think about them.

I started studying at the elementary school for about 11 years. The teacher taught about the differences between men and women. And the teacher is a man. We learned a little bit about hormone replacement, menstruation Sexually transmitted diseases .Finished content and then gone. After that I moved to junior high school. When I was about 14 years old, the teacher taught me more about sex because everyone is a reproductive age. At that time, I felt that I should study this seriously.

At present there are many problems that distract people as parents. Especially those who have children in adolescence because one problem is premature sex and I think it would be a little difficult if the parents would talk frank with teenager For me, with parents, we never talked about this. I think frank talk there is a shy. They just teach me little things like how to living with a friend the opposite sex. I think that's enough because another I can learn more like from Internet and friends.

Today's society is changing so fast. Sex education should not be embarrassing anymore. It should be adjusted according to the more open society but some people do not agree because sex education is a two-edged sword. It likes to teach children can have sex.

For me I think we can teach it as long as the knowledge of sex education is correct. Teaching children to have a bodyguard, judgment, and knowing of sexuality .Teach them to know the disease. Know the protection better than mistake get pregnant and go to abortion. it is very sinful.

The first time I learned about sex was when I was in middle school. Because in Chinese tradition, these topics are the problem to avoid, but this is the 21st century, we should learn and understand it. Many children first come into contact with this course, and the boys feel funny and the girls feel shy. Through learning, we learned some foundational knowledges. Then I had a lot of girlfriends, and I knew all about sex by action. Actually China is an open country about sex, when the new era comes, the traditional thinking is watered down. Everything was changed. We don't have to worry about whether the girls are still there for the first time. If you're really in love, you're together. Sexual behavior can reinforce each other. Whatever they got married or not. Of course, please be responsible for both sides. For safety, please be prepared for contraception.

In my opinion, I don't think we should avoid this topic, but start learning from a young age, because when we are young, we should be aware of it, and then you will understand, don't be shy, don't think it funny. Because when you grow up, you will do it. In fact, the same truth is when you feel hungry as soon as need to eat.

The first time I had sexual education when I was 15 in the middle school in biology subject. Sexuality chapter in biology subject provided us only with the information and guidance about the physical and emotional aspect of growing up. In that age I was adequately prepared to receive the information about sexuality.

I know some parents who have frank discussions with their young children about sexuality, but for me my parents and teachers were not honest with me when its come to the details of sexuality. From my opinion the parents should make a previous, honest and gradual conversation with their young children about sexuality to be aware about sexual mechanism details step by step better than exposure to them directly and the difficulty of dealing with it.

Now a day, media has a key role in sexual attitude between young people. Young people are normally curious about sexuality, so when they have a lot of question related toward sexuality, and they do not get a convincing answer they will searching in social media sites and find all the  good, bad ,suitable and unsuitable  information.

To comprehensive sexual education schools should not focus only on sex and sexuality but also confirmation the significance of forming healthy relationship.

The speaker wants us not to shy away from sex education. He is thankful for his parents and teachers for teach him many things when he was young, but no one told him about sex education. I think most of parents, if not all of them, do not talk about sex and sexuality to their children. They feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Primary school children need to know some information about their bodies, puberty, sex, and reproduction. However, this should not be taught at any age.  This information should not be presented to them in a single, integrated conversation, but must be communicated to them through many small, repetitive conversations.

I heard about sex for the first time when I was in primary school from a science teacher. He was uncomfortable and shy when he talking about it. He would skip that lesson if he could.

My parents never told me anything about that. They will not tell my younger brother either. I guess the problem is they think we will be taught about sex in school, but teachers think about that in different way. They think our parents will teach us about it, and the problem goes on. Parents are responsible number one for their children.

In some societies, it is not acceptable to educate the child sexually. Although this education is not limited to the relationship or intercourse, it means also protecting him from sexual harassment and introducing the child to the changes that may occur on him in the future.

The speaker is trying to convey a message about our shortcomings in life. He has been through stories, which taught him valuable things about life. People need to think much before judge. Like the speaker did with the homeless. He never thought his answer would be about wasting food. People should eat what they need and do not waste, because many people how have nothing to eat.

People in society know how to speak but they never do. We have people throwing trash everywhere, we have people talking about them and why would they do it, but we do not have people, who do the action and pick up the trash and put it in the appropriate place. As they say, "Actions speak louder than words".

Last thing, the speaker wants is to who we are. No matter what the society want you to be. Some people change their appearances, their way to talk and think just to get other people satisfaction.

The speaker highlighted some problems that we really need to change and solve to live a happy life. Yes, it is tough to do so, to be the man who do more than he say, Time and commitment, are all you need. Become your tomorrow.

Najah Task 6

I am really strong agree with her because, the people nowadays became like robots they do not feel each other.

Nowadays, everyone using their cellphone everywhere when they are eating, in meeting, working, driving also when they are lie on bed.

I really do not understand what happened with the people, there are lack feelings for example : when their friends feel sick   they send it  text to   them  "we hope you are fine "  that also ,effected  the family life   when the family  going to  eating their diner or lunch everyone with  cellphones ,   when they are  driving     they are  using  their phone  which  actually  increasing  the number of accidents in the year.

The people find this technologies of mobile communication help them to stay away from their real world and their characters showed their on the contrary in reality .so, what happened we became believe what we are see in our mobiles and forgetting there are conversations help us to understand each other better. Also the people nowadays become afraid of confrontation and showed feeling.

If we stay this phenomenon without solution of course our future, will become worse because we will forget how can talking with other. We will live without feeling.

.

For me I do not, allow for the cellphone to control my life especially with my family, I try to live all moments in my real life to express my feeling face to face.

# data[].attributes.body
From the video, I agree with the speaker that technology makes people disconnects with other.

In the era when technology has developed endlessly. We use technology everyday life. Since waking until sleeping. Some people focus more on technology than people on the side such as my friend. Almost every time we go out to party while friends Talking fun but he kept on playing the phone. Sometimes it's me I often get scolded by my parents. When I play the phone while eating dinner. I know it's not good but it became a familiarity that often picked up the phone and check update anything from social media.

The reason many people are more interested in technology is in the hands than the people around them because they may be bored to speak or have something more interesting in the phone such as  instagram ,Line, facebook  and WhatsApp. These are the ones that attract us and make us forget to pay attention to the people around us.

In the future, we can not know what technology will be added because today is more developed but anyway i can say that technology makes people far away come near and make people near you far away.

The technology is really useful if we use the right time. We use it to find information on the homework, study history, used to relax, watching movies, listening to music.

Consider yourself as we use it .if it make us  forget the importance of something ,We should to change yourself and have more interaction with the people around you more than technology in hand.

Task6 ---------YUAN JIACHEN (KATE)  The rapid development and development of science and technology. Almost everyone can't leave the Internet. But if we do not change the situation, then technology will weaken the emotions between people and people. No one is going to listen to what you're talking about.  Not long ago, when I was having meals with many classmates, we hardly talked with each other. Everyone was playing games with their cell phones, chatting online and watching online novels. This will undoubtedly affect the relationship between people and people. Why don't we communicate with others face to face? I think the problem comes from distance and time, but the most important thing is that we rely too much on the mobile phone. And some people think face-to-face conversation is happening in real time, and you can't control what you're talking about. For those who don't play with mobile phones, they don't talk to other people because they worry that they will affect those who need to work.  We have to stop the development of this phenomenon. We want to find ourselves from the virtual world.   Nowadays, we need to find ways to bring science and technology to our real life -- bring back to our body, our circle, our society. They need us, and we also want to have a life full of love.

Nowadays technology really changing our life constantly. I agree with speaker’s view that the technology really disconnects people in some way basic on some real life cases.
I used to see a group people had a dinner in a restaurant without conversations , everyone chatted their phone except one person was sit there and do nothing because her phone’s batter was over . I also had the situation like that I asked a friend to meet outside, but she told me that she want to play computer game at home.
In my mind people choose to step away from real timecommunication is because that the face-to-face communication is much more difficult than have communication in devices.
It lead us less connect in real life ,little by little people may afraid to have conversation to each other and it causes people socially isolated.
I do not really like this kind of situation happens when my friends have dinner with me . I believe it is a unrespect sign to friends when people are talking and their friends were not listening. If my friends have this phenomena happen with me, I also try to use some interesting topics to attractive their attention.

Recently, the talk about the dangerous role that the computer plays in isolating individuals socially and dissociation relationships between individuals in society are begun , with the majority of people spending too much time dealing with computers and the Internet, , which leads to isolation from others during the period of adolescence , which in turn leads to the creation of a kind of social disintegration, and the spread of the internet leads to the diffusion of new patterns of values and behaviours in the whole society

In psychology they called it as introverts computer, this situation exists when the person continues to sit before the computer for hours every day.This situation may exist in the case of persons with an introverted personality or people who want to escape from their circumstances and problems of life, so they turn to a computer where they have finished their negative energy and  feelings.

In my opinion the expansion and spread of the Internet in the future it will has a negative aspect for example, effect on the minds of humans and make users more superficial, resulting in isolation and stay away from humans, spend the rest of your life depending on your personal computer without getting into the realistic  relationships with other people.To overcome this negative phenomenon first,

we can set the alarm before using the Internet and specify the time that the user needs only to disconnect from the Internet as soon as time is over, second,Diversification of activities that means the user does not resort only to the Internet in his spare time and trying to engage in other activities and hobbies.

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays, technology has become part of people’s life. People use technology to communicate, study and work . But contrary to its intended purpose , technology make people be isolated and discontented .

People use communication devices inappropriately . For instance, on occasions the congratulations and wishes  between relatives and friends become online rather than visits. As a consequence, people prefer text than talking and real conversations , hence they will not be able to have conversation with themselves. In addition they can not learn or understand each other . People have become almost willing to dispense with people altogether.

Technology caused people to escape from real conversations and be un confident so they step away from real time communication and be disconnected .

In the future the members of one family will be separated by social networking .The times that children should play outside with chalk with their friends will replace with teaching themselves how to use an iPad. And submerging themselves into a world of fascinating technology and isolation.

People should put limits with this phenomena . It is important to arrange their times . Put off their devices when they gather with their families to talk with each other hence reinforce their relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with the speaker's views.When I have a party with my friends,some of them always use their communication devices.We all sit together eating and chatting happily,but some of them use their phones chat with others on the social media. I think we cannot talk closely even if we sit together.Once we had a family dinner.My cousin played his phone when we were eating.Then my grandfather asked him put down the phone and eat dinner.

I think people choose to step away from real world communication because they afraid of talking with real world people，whether they are friends or strangers.They think chat with online friends is safer，they can check their words，use emoji or other things.

But they think if they talk with people face to face，they might be shy and do not know what they should say.

In my opinion with the development of times，social media will be more and more popular.And this phenomena will be more and more too.I would be pretty blue if this happens.I think we need to change it.We should pay more attention to other things for example reading，doing sports and joining some clubs.We should not let social media lead our life.
