Last week's ARW class

I was absent from the school last Friday so I don't know the content of the class completely, but we discuss our own part of three futures. My part was about republic. However, I still cannot understand a nuance of republic...

Last week's ARW class

We did PWT practice test last Monday. It was very difficult especially second question. I chose whether I have considered cloning myself. I had some supporting ideas, but I couldn't express it in a collect word. It is very hard to use words.

Susan's Class

We finished the first week of Susan's ARW class.

We studied the Shannon and bioethics and I was given the article about the quality of mercy killing.

I thought Roswell's action wasn't good because he killed her wife without listening to her opinion, but it was obvious that he didn't have the ill-willed, so he should be decreased the penalty.

I have nothing which couldn't understand:)

Thank you Rab!!

Wednesday was the last ARW class, but I was really late for the class. Other section mates discussed the content of Gould, Shreeve and Diamond. Actually, I hardly remember the content of them, but I could reviewed all of them by PWT test.

I liked Rab's class very much because he taught us the IT tool and the importance of critical thinking! They are both very useful!!! In addition, his way of teaching is very fun! He showed many videos, held many interesting discussions and he let us write any academic kinds of essays!! It was very difficult for me, but it was also challenging during gathering information! Rab was the fabulous teacher for me!!! Thank you, Rab!!

Monday's ARW class

We discussed the construction of Diamond's article. Rab said his style was so unusual because he claimed the positive side of the something,but he denied them finally and repeated it again and again.

I don't like his style because it made me very irritated because I hate repeating the same thing many time. So, I wrote my essay Rab's style.

Friday's ARW class

We discussed the analogy. It is used when we want to explain something that everyone can agree with. However, we also tend to use it in arguing. Rab explained it to us by giving an example of water versus coca-cola and wool versus nylon. He said water is better for our health than cola, but we cannot say that natural is better than artificial because although wool is natural -made, but some people have allergy to them. I completely understood this story, but I couldn't understand the definition of explain, analogy and argue. So Rab explained to us again by using the arm-wrestling between the old man and young black guy. But I couldn't understand it completely. However, Rab's acting was very interesting!XD

Wednesday's ARW Class

We saw a documentary program about the terrible treatment of Iraq by US. They took a big bite of Iraq's national budget. In addition, because they didn't build neat hospitals, many patients die. A journarist pointed out it, to my surprise, the ambassador of US in Iraq replied "It was a past matter." How does he regard Iraq? They are the same people as him.

Rab said US uses Iraq as the opportunity to get the money because they are not white, but I don't think so. The reason why I think so is that after W.W.Ⅱ, US took over Japan and implement a lot of actions. Thanks to them, Japan could become one of the advanced countries in the world. So I think the quality of restructuring depends on the quality of government which occupy other countries.
