genetic engineering

The Giver Genetic engineering essay/Ms. Sue

We should not tamper nature with genetic engineering
By Tum


Genetic engineering is a process that changes the DNA of living organisms by scientists. It has both advantage and disadvantage. However, my idea is that we should not tamper nature with genetic engineering for several reasons. Firstly, some scientists believe that introducing genetically modified gene may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown. Secondly, genetic engineering has some moral issues and particularly involving religion. Thirdly, it is not right for us to change the laws and course of nature.

To begin with, many scientists believe that introducing genetically modified gene may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown. Even if genetic engineering can improve cultivated land, food, physician, public health, environment and industry, there have been some questions about the side effects of modified products through genetic engineering on human lives.

Supporters of genetic engineering often look at its scientific use and not on the moral issue. Genetic engineering goes against several faiths such as Catholic, Islam and Buddhism. All believe that genetic engineering is not correct. Catholics believe that “God is the creator of everything.” You can not change or design living things because God has already created perfection. Muslims believe that Allah creates life and therefore, “he decides gene for everyone.” The teaching of Buddhism states “the right action” one of which is “Do not take other’s life, human or animals.” When you want a good gene, you must kill something in order to clone another one. Therefore, genetic engineering is against all religions.

Lastly, genetic engineering not only goes against the course of nature, it is still illegal. In this time, genetic engineering is not legal yet because it has so many disadvantages and unknown consequences. The most important thing is it tries to alter the course of nature. Everything of the nature is balanced for survival of life. Therefore, you can not use to the genetic engineering to tamper it.

In conclusion, I strongly feel that we should leave nature alone and not tamper it with genetic engineering since it has an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown. You can not change a creative life of God. Finally, everything given by nature is enough for survival of life. In my opinion, genetic engineering is WRONG!

Martial Arts

Martial Arts

By Visook, Neung, New, TUMdong

Nowadays it is becoming more common to see examples of violent crime in newspapers and on television. Therefore, it is important that people are able to protect themselves. Martial arts offer a way to do this.The four most popular martial arts are Thai boxing, Tae kwondo, Kung Fu, and Karate. However, martial arts are not only a form of self defense, but also represent the history and culture of a country.

Thai boxing originated in Thailand during the Sukhothai Era between 1781 and 1951. It was spread in the Ayuthaya Era by Nai khanomtom, who was a famous Thai boxer. In 1996 Olympic Games in USA, Somluck Kumsing was the gold medalist. Now, Phanom Yeeram is famous for Thai martial arts film but he was not famous when he was a boxer. In a fight, Muay Thai allows the competitors to use foot, knee, elbow and fist. Before a competition, a boxer must 'wai kru' (pay respect to his coach) and 'ram muay' (dance to show boxing moves). Muay Thai has 5 rounds and each round takes about 3 minutes and there is 2-minute break between rounds. There are at least 3 referees for a Muay Thai competition. The score is usually given after each round. Muay Thai can also be used for self defense.

Tae kwondo is a Korean martial art. It is a way of kicking and striking. It was founded over 2000 years ago but only popularized in the 1950's by General Choi Hong Hi. Song Kook Dee was the first Tae Kwondo expert. Competitions consist of 3 rounds of non-stop contact with a rest between rounds. Junior and senior black belt competitors fight for 2 minute rounds with a 30 second break. kicks to the head score 2 points, while kicks to the body score 1 point. In event of a tie at the end of three rounds, a fourth "sudden death" overtime round will be held to determine the winner after a 30 second rest period. In the year 2000, Tae kwondo became an Olympic sport.

Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art developed from the earliest forms of martial arts introduced by Huangdi, the yellow emperor, around 2700 BC. Kung Fu is a philosophy suggesting deeper meaning. The following three elements must be present: motivation, self-discipline, and time. Strong, flexible muscles, management of the breath, and proper body mechanics are important for basic Kung Fu movements. Basics training involves simple movements that are performed repeatedly, such as stretching, stance work, conditioning, meditation and basic kicking and punching techniques. There are no rules in Kunng Fu because there no competitions, only shows. Professional players is Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li. There is no champion because there don't have competition.

Karate is Japanese martial arts developed from the Kung Fu which was very popular in Japan. Karate is mean "Empty Hand". In 14Th century, Daruma is the first person to start playing karate. He was a monk of Japan but practiced Karate at Saolin temple in China. The first public demonstration of karate in Japan was in 1917 by Gichin Funakoshi, at the Butoku-den in Kyoto. Karate can be divided into many divisions including gender, age, and weight. In Karate competition, there are 5 people needed for a game to take place including a designated referee, an observer, a secretary, a timekeeper, and a medic.The well known sport player of Karate was Christophe Pinna. He helped France to win championship in World Karate Federation tournaments in 1994 and 1996. In the present, Karate is not included in the Olympic yet but later in the future, it will be in the Olympic.

In conclusion, the world has many Martial arts and the most popular are Thai boxing, Tae kwondo, Kung Fu, and Karate. All martial arts are Asian, representing the history and culture of their country of origin. Everybody knows martial arts help people protect themselves. We should use martial arts intelligently, not just to harm another people. We should preserve the traditions of martial arts for the next generation.

The Utopia society is the perfect lard for someone and the hell for someone too. Every people are a public person. In the Utopia society have community for do every things. Everythings control by someone and it to be pain. Citizens in here, have so happy. They don’t know it true or not true. Have everythings for every person. It has eliminated all pain, fear, war and hatred. You will know it when you live in here.

The advantage, every things perfect. Citizen can do work by pain. They can help together. In here lack of choices for job and family. They can control everyone, everyone is systermatically. They precision of language the complication is well. In here don’t have secret because they share feeling “everyone know anythings about us and they can help another”.

The Giver Euthanasia Essay/Ms. Sue
Euthanasia should not be legalized
By Tum

Death is a natural loss but Euthanasia is a homicide. Therefore, it should not be legalized. Firstly, doctors do not always correctly estimate a patient’s power to recover and their diagnoses may be wrong. Secondly, only God can judge death for everybody. Thirdly, all human lives have equal value.

To begin with, doctors do not always correctly estimate a patient power to recover. They should not have to make the terrible decision to kill a patient even if the patient wants to die. When a patient is suffering in such great pain, he or she may not be aware of his/her decision. Moreover, when relatives give consent to the doctor to perform euthanasia, they might even misuse their power because they want patient’s property. Death should come from natural cause and not through euthanasia.

Supporters of several faiths such as Catholic, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism all believe that euthanasia is wrong. Catholics believe that “God is the creator of everything.” You can not choose who is correct or wrong and who should die or not die. God alone can choose your destiny. Bible says, “Thou shall not kill.” Muslims believe that Allah creates life and therefore, “He decides birth and death for everyone.” The teaching of Buddhism states “the right actions”, one of which is “Do not take other’s life, human or animals.” Jewish Talmud teaches human to respect God and value life.” Therefore, euthanasia is against all religions.


Moreover, all human lives have equal value. Somebody is handsome. Others have black skin or big eyes while some are ugly. However, every person is a human! Everybody has freedom and dreams. They can use to freedom by go ahead to dream. Every dream is good. No person wants to be bad. No persons want to be sick. No one wants disease. People love life and no one wants to die if they can help it. Thus, euthanasia is the act that does not value life!

In conclusion, I strongly feel that euthanasia should not be legalized. Life is meaningful and valuable. Doctors cannot play the role of God since they are not creators of life. Lastly, doctors are human and they can be wrong in their diagnoses of patients. In my opinion, euthanasia is WRONG!

Students should not use mobile phone in the school.

Do you like using your mobile phone? Nowadays, mobile phones are popular with teenagers because they can be used for many entertainment purposes. However, mobile phones can also be misused. For many reasons, I think students shouldn't use mobile phones at school.

First of all, its better when students use public telephone. In the school there are many public telephone. Students can use them when they want call to someone. It can save students money. Students can learn to share and take care of public facilities. Using public telephones of mobile phone.

Mobile phones also have inappropriate images and movie clips. Since student bring mobile phone to the school they will download inappropriate images and movie clips. And then they will share with friends in the classroom. They may take photographs and movies without permission and post them on the internet to bully their peers. All in all, mobile phones can lead good student to deviant beharior.

Finally, student will use mobile phones in classroom. While the teacher teaching students must pay attention. But some students will not pay attention, if they have mobile phones. They will want to call someone or answer the phone when someone calls them. They may listen to music and start playing around. They will be tempted to play games. If students use mobile phones, they won't understand the subject matter.

Mobile phones can help students to relax when they have break time. However, there are many ways for students to relax when they have break time such as talking with friends, playing sports, eating food, or doing homework.


In conclusion, students shouldn't be allowed to use mobile phones in school to prevent further problems. Even though, mobile phones have many useful function but it has negative effect also. It is not important for students to use it on their study. The best way is students should use public telephone.
