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...

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.

However, my boyfriend said, he the saw the review of the evan almighty. It was pretty interesting. I changed mymine and went to see that movie. I was sleeping for 5 minutes. The movie was alright. It was about the guy his name Evan who could talk with god. And he got lucky and was one of politician in DC. He did the big mistake.He asked god help him for sucess and power. One day, god told him to bulit the big boat to help all the aminals because god said on September, the flood will coming and kill many life. He said, "NO." but it was too late. His hair grew up longer and longer. He could not where any clothes except the cloth that god gave it to him. Everbody thought he was crazy include his wife and his family left him alone. Nobody talked with him and he decided to do the thing which was god asked him to do. All the animals were waiting for him...day to day past. He still had buiting his big boat. His wife came back to help him because god told him the true life and family. They had builting the boat until done. Many people around that area looked at him showed how crazy hi and his family are? The day that he finished his job. It was no rainy and every people looked down at him. Finally, It was flood from dam because of it destroied. Every life got into the boat on time. The boat went to state capital and stopped there. The head of politician was surprised because he didn't believe him. He was more popular and sucessful in his life with his family in the end....
