Is Privacy An Illusion?

Every phone number appears in a database. Everyone of your favorite web site keeps track of your computer. With many other factors, our privacy is under a invisible threats. Sometimes, our privacy could be invaded by others through the use internet. Since now we are living in a global community, not everyone know your name, your social ID number, or even your phone number. Through some of the browser and other online program people can "stock" you. Skype, Facebook, Twitter, or even online shopping website could let other people stock you. In today modern society, I think our privacy is at risk, since there are so many hacker around the world right now. Personally, I think my privacy is at risk because people might be reading or tracing my computer ID now. Until now, the companies have not develop a program that can effectively block the outside intruder when they are trying to hack in for someone's privacy. Concerned that the physical safety of individuals, it is important for everyone to protect their own privacy.

How Do You Sell An Idea?


In this world right now, everything needs to be paid from someone. It is important for the companies to try to sell their product. Commercial companies used different techniques to insert the image, word, or document inside your mind and eventually, you will buy the product. They use techniques such as emotional appeals. Emotional appeals could be the appeal to pity, fear, or vanity. They use the customers’ pity to urge other people to buy their product. I think it is the most effective way to sell an idea or a product. For example, a commercial tried to induce people to buy the goods, so they could use the money to donate to the people in poverty places. They could use an image or a video of the children from Africa or Middle East to sell the idea of the children is suffering in their own countries, and they need the changes. The title could use, “Use changes for changes”. If the commercial companies wanted to sell the idea in a large amount, then it is important for them to use an effective techniques, unique idea, and appropriate content to sell the idea.

Can a Dream Change the World?

My vision for a better world includes equal rights for everyone, full education system with proper place and equipment for children to go to and to use. Safe community and clean air are also in my dreamed world. Equal rights for everyone, despite the gender, the age, or the appearance, are important for shaping the perfect world. In some countries, women are raped and aren't allowed to attend to school. People are now constantly debating about the rights for the women. Education is also important for every children in different countries because every child may have the chance of being another Bill Gates. It would also raise the literacy in different countries. Also, safety community gives insurance of protection from the government to the civilians. It is very important for a perfect world since the security of each people is in the first place of establishing a new world, so if government can't ensure the security, what is the point of forming a government to control a world? Clean air is also essential for my dreamed world, because healthiness gives people time to live. Without clean air or fresh water, people may not still be alive on Earth.

How Does Friendship Begin?

Friendship is a relationship between two or more people who hold mutual affection for each other. People made different kind of people, including different age, personality, or view towards the world. Basically, friendships begin when two or more people shared common interest, favorite celebrities, and types of music, topic, or even the common enemy. To myself, I have friends in different ages, seniors, juniors, sophomores, 8th grader, or even younger. Mostly, I know them because of shared interests, or even in the same club. Mostly I know my not-in-my-age friends from in the same sports team. Actually sports team is a good pathway to know someone who is not in your own age. If you play the game well, the team players, whether seniors or juniors, they will be friends with you. Common topic is also a good way to know someone who is not in your age. Since there are common topics, they can talk about that topic on and on. Common enemy is always a good way to know a friend. Once a group of people shared a common enemy, they can work together, and began to be friends.
