I think every generation has a good and bad side.I can't choose which is better.Now's children can easily get everything;however,affluent life can't make imagination or power to think themselves.


No. I don't think so. today's children are losing their thought and creativity. 

I'm a hundred percent certain that they enjoy better life than childeren in the past did. For example, they have more clothes, nicer toys, more books and somethings that weren't in the past like ipad, smartphone, computer. However,
the better situation give children a fish, not how to get a fish. They can get many information without thinking or curiosity and feel fun without real friends or playing out. So, they don't need to make various friends in real life because they have nicer toys and computer game. They also don't like to think deeply because they already have lots of knowdledge through smartphone or internet.

Gen

In my opinion,That's no answer because probably, there was play suitable for the time,so we'll not be able to decide which is better but now's children will be happy because they have a lot of playing things and can easily play everything,everytimes,almost everywhere.I think that they are luxury too much.

my presentation topic is the first impression of toronto.

Wed, Oct 30 2013 Discussion Topic

1) Childhood

Do you think todays' children have better lives than children in the past? Do they truly have brighter futures than kids from the past? Did our grandparents and great grandparents have had much better priorities than we do? Why would anyone have children in the first place?

discussion

1. cellphones in court
: I think "No evidence, No vaildity". How can we assure that his cellphone suddenly works by bumping? Somepeople could believe and understand his excuse, however, other people could think
he lied. Because there isn't an evidence that show if he turned off his phone or changed it to silent mode before entering courtroom. So, He can't say his innocence without the evidence. I think he must pay the fine.
 However, I don't know why the judge, Clarke, made this rule. Maybe, It is due to interference with court or leak of secret information. If it is reasonable why he prohibit using cellphone in court room,
we should keep the rule.


2. Halloween costumes
: We don't need to prohibit it. It's freedom whatever people wear. If it should be illegal, whom do you punish? the young girls or their parents? Their parents cannot control everything their children do. It isn't guilty for young girls to wear the provocative costume. It's guilty to think sexually about young girls. However, I also agree the provocative costume doesn't fit to young girls. It's just my opinion. If i were a parent, I would recommend my girl to wear the costume makes her cute and fun. She can appel to people more and enjoy the party perfectly.
 In korea, Holloween is not popular. Nowdays, some young people gather and enjyou holloween in the club, drinking. We can rarely see poeple wearing costume at the downtown in halloween.

kanoko

Anywhere of the world,some people say that victims don't have sense of danger and parents don't have sense of danger.Who is responsible for it?Who should be regulated?Even if woman wear a chador or niqab,a rape crime happens.Even if children wear what kind of clothes,the pedophile commits a crime.
These types of costumes should not be illegal.
I don't know why people want to lay a responsibility on week people.

Gen

I think that isn't big problem but their parents should be care about their children,so shouldn't be illegal.Also, the young girls must be careful.However, I think that is impossible because Holloween will be cold, so if I were them I will not be able to do that because of cold.I can't stand.
My hometown has Holloween but that is not all of the area.Just someplace.People are wearing a lot kind of  costumes that such as SPIDERMAN, STARWARS or Japanese characters,I think mostly they will be movies character.The girls will be police women or nurse kind of jobs worker.

Hisano

These types of costumes should not be illegal.
I think that little girls wearing these costumes is ok only on Halloween.
There is Halloween in my country but not so popular.

Oct 23, 2013 Discussion Topics

Howdy everybody!

The first topic we will discuss is a repeat from last week because I forgot. Sorry about that.

1)Cellphones and court.

http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/10/judges-fines-himself-50-after-phone-rings-in-court.html

After reading this article, please think about the questions at the bottom of the article. Also, do you think $50 is enough of a fine to stop people from using cell phones in court? Should cell phones be collected and kept by staff before people enter the courtroom?


The second topic is a new one. This is a very short article.

2) Girl and Halloween costumes

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/provocative-halloween-costumes-for-girls-1.2129318

For the last three years or more, police have been spending a lot of time and money arresting pedophiles (adults who like children). At the same time, Halloween costumes (and general clothing) for young girls has been getting more and more provocative (please look this word up). Why do you think this is happening when it is clear that thinking sexually about young girls is a terrible crime?

Also, should these types of costumes be illegal?
Should parents allow their children to wear these costumes?
What do people think about little girls who wear these costumes?
What do you think about little girls who wear these costumes?
Is there Halloween in your home country? If there is, what do people wear? If there is not, is there another holiday when people dress up in costumes?

Shawn

I can't understand him. He is a judge. A Judge must be model because high people are most important in their places and if they have dishonour rule, many people won't have dishonour rule.
So he should be more punished and he must apologize properly.

kanoko

I think cell phones should not be collected and kept but staff should be warn people before they enter the courtroom.

When I was in japan,the outdoor shop which I worked stopped giving a plastic bag.Because a lot of people threw away our plastic bags on near outdoor spots.The companies have to devise a package.

Hisano

I think $50 is not enough and staffs should collect cell phones.
In my opinon, the city should be responsible for it.In additon, the gavernment should build a signbord on the road.
In Japan, there is a littering problem around the forest.

Wed, Oct 16, 2013 Discussion Question


We will be discussing two topics today. Please read both articles.

2)Garbage
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/neighbourhood-battle-over-tim-hortons-cups-1.1991589

Who should be responsible for cleaning up the mess, the companies, the people who live in the area, or the city? Should companies be fined if their garbage is found in public places? How could the city prevent littering? What does the government do in Japan, Korea, or Venezuela? Is littering a problem there?

I think this problem is children's parents should be careful.
Adults have to teach eat in a good balance.
In Japan,Athletes are in unhealthy foods advertisements.But I think athletes should not be careful.If I don't want to eat junk foods to people,I have to stop making junk foods.

Monday 7 October 2013

Gen

In my country,Athletes are in Junk foods advertisements.I think that Junk foods have also salad and almost children hate some vegitables.but sometimes Junk foods have some burgers includes vegitables.So Children can easily eat vegitales with a burger.but eat too much is not good because junk foods are high-cal.So I think that Athletes should advertise about also burgers includes vegitables and Junk foods company also have to make a healthy junk foods for all of people.

Hisano

I think  athletes are in unhealthy food advertisements in my country.
Athletes should not be more careful about the advertisements they act in.

In my opinion,that is the most serious problem for youth ager.Hisano also said such this problem have as in Japan.The goverments of somecountry should solve early because if such problem is concern with war,I think if the economic be bad,war might happen.

Hisano

I think it is a very serious problem.And there is the same problem in Japan.I can't solve it by myself.
