Presidential debates

After listened to the presidential debates I like the question number 8,15, and 24.
Question 8: Do you support gay marriage?
The answer is “Yes”. I think it’s interesting question because it make more equal between man and woman in US. Also, I never see many countries allow guy marriage and talk very serious about this problem.
Question 15: Would a woman president be taken serious by an Arab state?
It’s another interesting question. I think Hillary Clinton had a good answer and I agree with her. Moreover, I believe woman can run and be the president like man does. I am waiting for woman president for a long time.
The last interest is question 24: How will your policies reduce energy consumption?
The answer was not bad, but I think they should pay attention with this question like Al gore did. He tried to let people know how global warning is very important today. And I’d like to know more answer about policies reduce energy.

My question is about environment and global warning. When we will serious with reduce energy and recycling and when we will start the serious policies to save energy and reduce energy?

For the presidential debates, I think it’s a good ideal and easier than another way to share the idea or questions to a person who run a new president of US.

Which is more important in human development of personality and intelligence: genes or environment?

Which is more important in human development of personality and intelligence: genes or environment?

In fact, both of them are important and relation. But if I really have to choose I think environment is more important. For example, the kid who was born in the poor family. This family live in the slum which are so many crimes, a lot of environment problems, he has no good food or enough food to eat, even can’t get education because his family can’t afford. However, he got the very smart gene if he was born in the good family and good environment he may be genius.
The point is the environment is effect and causes the personality and intelligence of human development more than gene. While the human grow up they need a good environment to make he or she learn how to be smart and good person in the future. Also, they have to have chance such as a good education, good family, and good friends to move forward.

Alacridad project

Alacridad

I think it is a great idea because I used to be a volunteer when I was in University. I and my friends didn’t about 5-6 projects with Children and poor people like built the library for them, be a teacher for minority in Thailand, built them the fence school, etc. But, my project wasn’t big like the Alacridad project. I really want to help this project. For example, ask my friends who work at Dell, IBM or the person who don’t want the old computer. Also, I can help you find out the information and promote you project. However, I didn’t expert about program computer, so I think I can’t help you much about develop or create the website. (but I can type Thai and English).
Like I said, I used to do the volunteer project with my friends in Thailand before I am happy to be the participation in this project. It was remind me again.
From those links, I can find a lot of friends to be a volunteer around the world. Moreover, I can follow what is going on in the world?

PS. Both of my teacher, I am so sorry that I just answered the question today. I was confusing that this topic is for Friday but another topic was Lisa simpson dued on Monday... So I just want to say sorry again...

Finally, Lisa learned that she wasn’t stupid, but her brother and all men of Simpson gene chromosome XX were not intelligence.

Being polite and rude

“Being polite and rude”


First of all, I have to tell you about background in Thailand. 95% of Thai people believe in Buddhism, so our culture and the way of life are relative with it. Also, we have 3 levels which are our King and Queen are the highest level, the monk is the second level and Thai people are the last level. Finally, We don’t like to talk about our religion and the king’s family in the public.

Thai culture has a lot of strict rules; however, Thai people are very flexible and friendly. What doest it mean to be polite in my culture? (I can give some example and main points). First, about greeting, If you know how to greeting in Thailand that called Wai sound like Why. It’s very polite especially older people. Thai people will respect you and happy. But if you are tourism, it’s not a big deal, they can understand you. Second, show how to do polite in the pubic. Every day at 8.00 am and 6.00 pm, all of the public place, mall, and at the theater are tune on the Thai anthem. What you should do is stop talking and stand up. If you don’t know how to do, just follow Thai people are nearby you. Third, not all Thai people are friendly with you, so you should be polite with the shopkeeper. \You can ask the shopkeeper to get discount, but if they said last price they can give it to you. You should trust them. If you think it still expensive, you tell them the true, give them the respect, show your money do you have, and let them know you really like but you don’t have enough money to buy. Then you can leave without get kick out or abused.

What is consider rude in your culture? For example, Talking loud, Eating and talking in the same time, gossiping in the public, touch another person head ( I can remember now) are very rude in my culture because we consider those kind of person are low education and no culture.

I have been more than one yr in America. I really like American culture which is about on time. In my culture you can be late 15- 30 minutes, it’s ok. On the other hand, it is considered rude and no one respect you. For me, if I think I will be late I will tell them and let’s them know. If I think I will be very late on the plan. I will let them know and tell them the true I couldn’t make the plan because I don’t like any people wait for me (I feel bad).

Movie review: Ratatouille

Today, at 3.00 pm I went to see the movie name is Ratatouille. I like it very much because it is much more adult then kid cartoon and it is very interesting plot. The movie showed about 2 hours some past little bit slow; for example, when the rat argued with garbage boy named Linguini. He was so sad, and at that past it make me quite sleepy but, however, I like it.
The story was about the rat that had a good sense in great food. He didn’t like garbage at all, but he liked fresh food and good food like a human eats. He wanted to be a chief also. One day he and his family ran away from it house by accident. He lost with his family and his friends. At that time, he was in Paris and he met garbage boy named Linguini at restaurant. They were good friend later because Linguini wanted to be a chief. Linguini was helped by the rat. All the dishes that he made was from the rat’s ingredients in the kitchen. The rat hid on the top of the chief’s hat, and controlled him to cook. He cooked well until every agreed, and let him be the chief. By chance, the rat found out he was the owner’s son; however, the owner of that restaurant already dead. So, the rat told him, and finally, he was the new owner. He was famous and he forgot the rat behind. The rat was mad and sad it went back to his family by chance it wanted to be with his family. On the other hand, it still wanted to return to the restaurant to be the chief again. It helped him cooked with the new recipe called Ratatouille’s recipe; finally, they both were very popular and famous at Le Ratatouille Restaurant in Paris.

Galaxy

...Galaxy...

The galaxy that we are living in is the MILKY WAY. No one knows how many galaxies there are in the univese. It is also impossible to count the number of stars in the Milky Way because we can't see all of them. For example, many stars we can see on light;however, a lot of star we can't see. Do you think the Sun is the closest star to our Earth? The answer is Yes, the Sun is the closest star to our Earth. Many people believe that there are another live on other planets. I believe it should be another live on the other planets because I think life started in the same way. If started from one planet,it's possible to have another life on other planets, but we just don't know yet. Do you think about exists? why...For me I think if univese has the exists. I should know before I die and I will believe that, and I don't think it has the exists. In addition, I think humans will ever make contact with life from another planet because I believe another live on other planet. On the other hand, I think they may be diffrence from humans because there are many species in our Earth, so it shuold be difference also.

How do I choose the product?

I like to shopping a lot and I like to go with my girl friends who have the same style as me. When I go shopping, the most important for me to buy the stuff are 3 main points. First, It is right one. So,I have to feel this is only mine and it born for me only). Second, I have to think about I really and how much? For example, I don't mine if it is so expensive or have brand name if I really like and I never have it before. I will buy it. On the other hand, if it is so cheap like it's too goo to be true. I really like it, I buy it also. Third, I will think about brand name sometimes if that stuffs are very important such as medicine, service about my life and my family, and stuff for special day( it happen once in whole life). But actually it don't spend much money for brand name stuff. I don't follow my friend or many people that buy stuff for show big face and how rich they are. I don't do that; however, I don't complain. If they like it is their are problems and good for them ( they are happy) because I think everybody have to have diffrent. Also, I like everything in this world diffrent. It will make my life and this world have many colors life style.

What I want to send to my friends

Naree class 140.

What I want to send to my friends.....

I like to meet many people and make friend with them. If I want to send my friends a packages. I will send them 3 things are flowers, CD songs, and cakes all by myself like hand make.
First of all, all the packages that I want to send. They are about entertaining stuffs because I think after their long working and tried. They should get that suffs. And I hope they will make them happy and smile. Second, I don't like to spend money to buy the stuffs that no resonable. I usually make the good stuffs myself, so I can decide and use my idea to create those packages for them. Finally, I can choose the great quality to make the packages. I think it's important because I am not a saleman and I don't want any profit from the packages. I like to make it great, so it can keep longer.
In summary, for all those reasons I think the packages that I want to send to my friends are songs, flower, and cakes will make them happy and think about me because they can't find or buy it from any store.

What does rich mean..?

Naree 140.1
June 14,2007

What does rich mean? and how does one become rich?

I assume that everybody want to be rich. But what I mean are inside rich and outside rich both of them are different. Some people just want inside rich, many people want both of them.

Rich is about when you are fulfillment you will feel happy. For example, many people want to be rich, so they try to make more money and work hard. When they get money to buy a big house with swimming pool and luxury car. Everybody will call them " richman". But some people don't have a big house, get the small car and nice family . They can be rich also. The point is they are happy in the way they want is mean rich. How can I find the way to be rich. Everypeople have many different ways to find out. For me I really want to be inside rich more than outside rich. I find out the way to be rich from my friends and my family such as go shopping, working, hanging out, and talking with them I am happyness. Also, I want to be rich like rich girl in the future. I plan to study more and do some business.

In summary, many people can find their own rich easy. Many people is finding right now. I think everything depend on their need. If they need more rich, they have to find out longer time than who need less.

The sompson " Trash of the Titans"

1.Summarize the episode
There was a new holiday creatd in the company that Homer has been working with. The name of the holiday was LOVE HOLIDAY. The main idea was to sale more product. One day Homer finally had to take out the garbage at his house because he spilled the trash can. When he took the garbage out he got a fight with the garbage man, so they didn't take care of his garbage. His house had a lot of dirty and rats. His wife decided to sign his name to say apologize to the Sanitation Commission. He found out ans was so angry. The public office did him decide to run for Sanitation Commissioner. He won the campaign under his alogan" Can someone else do it". He spend a few million a month to let the garbage man cleaned up any massing with the luxuly service. Finally, he got a lot of problems. For example,the office broke, no money to pay the employee and the garbage's problem. He decided to solve the problems with out thinging. He took all the garbage to another city under the town. As a result was it exploded and all the garbage in the town. They run away from the problem. He quit and all the people had to move out to another place.
2. From the episode
In my opinion, From this cartoon I can see the leader wasn't smart and no vision at all. My point is the garbage problem is very important as the great leader, and everyday the garbage will have more and more.So, we have to use the garbage less and try to control. It is not just the leader's fault, but it is about everybody fault. Therefore, we have to serious about the garbage ploblem today.
3.From this aspisode
I think the garbage problem is about everybody respond with our earth. Also, it is the one important problem in the evironmental problem right now. I agree with the Kyoto agreement ,and I think it is important for my future. What I have been doing to help our earth and my future are change a light, drive less, recycle more, use less water,avoid products with a lot of packetaging, plant a tree and tell my friends to do like me....
All thought, I am a small girl in this world, but I feel good that I can find some solution to solve the problems.
