BP #9 - Final Reflection on HeLa

    Being retroactively compensated is not meaningful when my tissue has significantly benefited on science and research. In my opinion, I should be proud for it at that time. First, everyone has the responsibility for the social development. The beneficial from my tissue is big advancing on our society even the whole world. People can get help from its researching result, such like vaccine, which help people reduce the chance to get disease. Second, when my tissue was removed from my bodies, it just be litter for me because it can be used for me anymore. My tissue can be used on science and research that is an extra bonus for me why I need to get another one. As below reasons, I will not to choose to be retroactively compensated. Instead, I enjoy the extra bonus for me.

   I think that the right to control my own tissue is more important than contributing to science and research for the greater good of humanity. First, my mood will be affected by its result because I don't know whether my tissue is useful for science researches. If they didn't have benefit on them, I will be depressed. If they can have one, it will be proud. Second, I was worried about my life that will be affected on today's society, which the news can be spread everywhere and people can find out who you are or where you are, and so on. Hence, I would like to control my own tissue. But, in an emergency conduction, I will stand out when my tissue can be used.

BP #8 - Going Green Again

    Going green is a gobal campaign. Everyone in this world should to join because each activity we do that will have effect on our earth. If we can change some of our habits, our earth will be more healthy then give us more. By reading some article in the website, I got some way to save our earth's energy then keep it on sustainable development. For example, I often forgot to turn off the computer when I slept. I also like to take a long shower. Besides, I don't know to keep electronics out of the trash. Now,I know that my above habits are harmful for our earth. They waste the earth's energy. Hence, I have to change these habits.

Going green is effective to practice in the U.S.A. Almost of people in here would like to go green on their habits.The government also pays much attention on this aspect. Under the governmernt's supervise, it is running effectively. By contrast, my country's result is worse. Our government also has some laws or rules to demand people to go green. However, if people have some volations, they didn't get a serious punishiment. It make people without positive about it. The most importan reason is people lack of awareness.

   One thing I was amazing about going green is that when you save energy, at the same time you will save money. By reading the article in the website, I get a lot of way to going green then save money at home at the same time. If I can keep on, I think no longer that I will save much money.

BP #7 - Financial Responsibility

Summary:

   According to the article " financial responsibility for all: a myth or reality?" by Lubie Grujicic- Alatriste states there are some reasons about young people have financial problems. First, young people sink into financial traps because of having not enough knowledge about taking credit. Second, young people can easily get a credit card. Third, the institution like banks doesn't spread the correct information to customers. Besides, it gives some advices for young people to avoid the financial pitfalls, such as they should to learn more knowledge about financial and responsibility to their actions; young people's parents had better to give their children some experience about financial; our government should to process financial plan work to recover crisis and increase people's financial responsibility. In conclusion, people should to try building their financial responsibility.

Reflection:

   To build financial responsibility is important for all because financial responsibility helps people manage their finance and avoids debt. For example, each month we have to repay their billings, such like cheking billing, telephone billing, gas billing, and so on. We must repay them before the due date, otherwise we must to pay more money for late fee. That's will add our debt. If people remembered their billings date and paid back on time, they will save some money and have a good credit. It is not hard for people to do it when people have financial responsibility.

  By comparision, there is not very popularize for people to use debt card or credit card in my country. People rather like using cash than them. Because the bank system is not much generalization. Each time we must to wait a long time to deposite or withdraw money. The interest is also low in the bank without any temptions. Besides,the credit has effect on people's lives but is not very obvious. Hence, people don't like to use their card to waste time for waiting. Although people is lack of interesting for using debt card or credit card, our banks have a strict verify each applicant then send their card to use. That can help some people who cannot control their consumption reduce their debts.

   In conclusion, people had better to increase their responsibility for finance. It is important for all.



BP #6 - Mini Essay on Informed Consent

   In the book, some reseachers volated the procedure for reseaching. They got patient cells without their consent. Although they didn't get ant profit from them,  they has effects on  their patient's family. By signing informed consent, patients should be known that they will confront from treatment, then they can have enough prepare for overcoming difficulties or obtain benefits. By giving the form to patient, doctors or hospitals can avoid some potential disputes that would happen about the patient's treatment.It is a protection for both of them. There is no reason for them to refuse it.

   In my home country, before research practice, researchers must to demand patients or volunteers to sign the informed consent. If they didn't sign it, they cannot start research practice. If doctoers or researchers did without their consent, they will have big trouble, such like dismissing them form their post, being putting into jail, and being imfamous people. For patients or volunteers, the society will give them help that solving their living difficulties.

   Before, many of them just know they have to sign an informed consent before reseaching, and they don't pay much attention to the content. That give more unethical doctors and researchers some chance to ues them, then hurt them. Today, patients or volunteers have more awareness about their rights. When they sigh an informed consent, they will carefully read it. They know the informed consent is their umbrella. Besides, a lot of law for protecting patients and volunteers appear, they also limit doctors or researchers behavors.

 

BP#5 sustainable restaurants

   A sustainable restaurant not only benefits human people's health but also protects  our environment. To being sustainable, restaurant should make a lot of  reforming. Liking who want to follow this management should pay more attention on their foods sources, which must be local, organic. A organic food is healthy, but it is expensive, which would add the cost.  For a litter store, adding the cost has an effect on their survive. Hence, there is not every restaurant has the potential to follow this way.  Who want to join this group must know how to well manage their restaurants,their restaurant must have survied ,then they can consider how to make sustainably.
   No matter what, it is a tendency for more restaurants to use more sustainable practices. Because today people advocate a good living quality. They pay more attention on their health. A good living environment and healthy food play an important role on people's health.

BP #4 - Going Green

    I am concened about food sustainability when I shop. First, food is very important for our bodies. It supplies us energy for our daily activities. Second, sustainability food not only supply us a fresh and delicious food, but also reduce the carbon footprint to our world. 
   Each time, when I shop at the store, I would try to choose the organic food. Its price has a little high than others's food, but it is the minimise harm to our environment. I also promote my families to eat more vegetable or fruit than meal., and we have better to choose big fish to eat. Too much eating meal and little fishes are bad for our ecosystem development. Besides, I used to bring a shopping bag, which can recyclable. That can reduce me to using the plastic bag, which is harmful to our earth when it is born.
   In my family, we try to plain the organic vegetable on the rooftop each years. Although it is a small place, we feel that it is important. Because we can eat fresh vegetable without freezer and pesticide pollution. The progressing is inieresting and meaningful, especially when you eat the harvest, you will feel better in your heart.
    For a "going green" program, I like to follow it.
