Is it utopia is good for everyone?

I. Utopia world is perfect. Everyone doesn’t have to think anything. War, hanger and Social problem are nothing there. Utopia is everything is perfect and freedom.
II. To begin with utopia is perfect world. Everyone are freedom and happy forever. In utopia world hasn’t civil war. That’s very good for people. Utopia is nice society.
III. Utopia is very good and the dream world of people. Utopia hasn’t war, civil war, hanger and environment problem. everyone don’t have to do work and think about any problem. Anything are perfect world but I think perfect world is not interesting because there is not stimulation.
IV. I think utopia is very good for everyone but adversely, it is not good for everyone because there is not stimulation and the thought of everyone change.

Euthanasia should not be legalized

Euthanasia should not be legalized. Firstly, I think using mercy killing is cruel for human life. Secondly, Euthanasia is against human rights. Thirdly, it is immoral and is against the teaching of all religions.

First of all, I think using mercy killing is cruel for human life. Mercy killing is not natural death. Mercy killing is contrary to the natural world. I think the human have to die a natural.

Second of all, Euthanasia is against ‘human rights’’. Euthanasia, or voluntary assisted suicide, has been the subject of much moral, religious, philosophical, legal and human rights debate in Australia. At the core of this debate is how to reconcile competing values the desire of individuals to choose to die with dignity when suffering, and the need to uphold the inherent right to life of every person, as recognized by article of the ICCPR.

Third of all, Bible Catholics is Thou shall not kill. Buddhism is in the book of Buddha, one of his teaching in the Eight Path teaches about ‘right actions’’ and one of them actions is ‘never kill human or animals’’. Islam is Muslims believe that people are born on this earth because Allah gives them life. It is up to Allah to decide when life should end so no one can end life but only Allah can. The Talmud says, good Jew’s must do good work on earth. People must be honest and just. They must take another people’s life.

In my conclusion, mercy killing is not good for people, Because it is like killing the human. But people can to choice to death or live. If people expect death, I think that they should think proberly.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Genetic Engineering

-Genetic and Evolution
Jun
20th century, man harnessed the power of the atom, and not long after, soon realized the power of genes. There are three advantages:

I. Disease could be prevented by detecting people/plants/animals that are genetically prone to certain hereditary diseases, and preparing for the inevitable. Also, the infectious diseases can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each antigen.

II. Animals and plants can be ‘tailor made’ to show desirable characteristics. Genes could also be manipulated an in trees for example, to absorb more CO2 and reduce the threat of global warming.

III. Genetic Engineering could increase genetic diversity, and produce more variant alleles which could also be crossed over and implanted into other species. It is possible to alter the genetics of wheat plants to grow insulin for example.

There are two possible disadvantages.

I. Nature is an extremely complex inter-related chain consisting of many species
Linked in the food chain. Some scientists believe that introducing genetically modified genes may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet unknown.

II. Genetic engineering borderlines on many moral issues, particularly involving religion, which questions whether man has the right to manipulate the laws and course of nature.

Conclusion

In my opinion, Genetic Engineering is very good because GM foods (genetically modified foods) are good quality and healthy food. However, it is important to do quality control.

The Essential Telephone


The telephone was created in 1800 in America by a Scottish-born inventor named Alexander Gramn Bell. Bell had built an experimental telegraph one day, and noticed he could send voice messages through it and someone could receive the message on the other side. Consequently, he created a transmitter and a receiver, and he patened it on March 7, 1876. At that time, the general public did not show much interest in his discovery. Since then, however, the telephone has become an essential appliance in the lives of people not only in Thailand but all over the world.

The first kind of telephones available in Thailand were public telephones and homephones. Public telephones and homephones were first used in Thailand about 100 years ago during the reign of King Rama V. At that time, telephones were bulky machines with rotary dials used only in palaces or rich people's houses. And the public telephone was a good way for people who had no homephone in their house. Home phone is more common in the urban area than the rural area. Since the telephone came to Thailand, it was not that popular becuase people were still used to writting letter. Presently, The public telephone and homephone become common all over Thailand and also people could communicated faster and more easily than before.

Later, Basic cell phones were developed to use and first in Thailand about 10 to 15 years ago. The first kind of basic cell phones very big and very heavy. There is little functions to use as calculator and sent short messages. There is no much function in basic cell phone but it is available for communication. When we telephoned to other, we had to pay more money for calling. And the people who received our phone, had to pay too. It is so expensive to use cell phone in the past. At that time, basic cell phone was available to help us communicated with other people for business, family, and information. Cell phone is more convenient communication than housephones and plublic phones.

The latest kind of telephones are advanced, high technology cell phones. Advanced cell phones first appeared about 5 years ago but are now common in Thailand. The ability to use advanced technology to communicate and share information has changed people's lives. High technology telephones have more advanced functions, such as GPS, internet access, news readers, more complex games, mp3/movie players, online banking and shopping. Modern cell phones are smaller, more portable, amd more commonly used, so we can communicate with anyone, anytime, anywhere since everyone has mobile phones. Also, cell phones users can access wireless networks for internet access in many places. Today, modern cell phones are becoming fashion statements.

The telephone is available in our lives all over the world since the past until the present. They were created and developed for our requires and have become advanced avialable technology devices right now. The telephone is available to help us communicated with other people for business, family, and information. Currently, all type of phones have become the part of people's main stuff. If there is no telephone, it's hard to develop our lives. In addition, it takes advantages if we use it wisely and takes disadvantages if we use badly.

Introduction


Do you like short hair? Some Thai students might not like this style,but it is compulsory in almost all Thai government schools. In my opinion, short hair is good for students because it's polite,easy to look after and necessary for ROTC.

First of all, short hair is easy to look after. This hair is very easy to cut when students go to get a cut. Every borbers know this hair style. This style is cheaper than other style and doesn't take much time out. If students have short hair, they will look smart with out needing brush their hair all the time or use a dryer. It's easy to take care of short hair.

Almost all high school boys in Thailand also have to have short hair for ROTC. If students want to study ROTC, they must have short hair, like a soldier in the army. It's polite, look neat and tidy. When students learn about soldier life, they have to train hard, so they shouldn't worry about their hair. Perhaps hygienic is different.

The most important reason to have short hair is that it's a school rule. Thai students have to had short hair for hundred of years. As kinder garten until high school students, they have to cut this style. It's traditional. When they study in school, this style reminds them that they are students,and that their duty is to study. It's polite in school and looks smart.

Some Thai students might not like to have short hair. However,perhaps many rules in school, students don't like. But everyone needs to follow rules it they want to study in school. They have to be a same for everyone. On the hand, they can grow hair when they grown up. They can have many hair styles if they want.
