Life news
Today,28th May. On my way back home from my university, while stopping at the traffic light, there was 3 kids on the road selling roses. Those kid look at me as if their forced to sell roses and also they look like their in a bad condition given their facial expression and also the clothes they was wearing. I hesitate whether to help them by buying those roses or just close an eye and let it be. As nowadays, more and more crime has been happening, we can never be sure if those kids are really selling roses to earn or to poison us with some chemical place in those rose. Therefore, as a precaution i choose to not buy from them. However, there was one customer that actually buy those roses. I notice that after the kid sold his rose, he ran to the corner of the road where is dark and filled with trees. There was this older man hiding behind those trees and collecting money from that kid. It kept me wondering are those kid being threaten or maybe if is just their dad asking them to sell roses to earn a living.
Speaking of earning a living, as i pass by this street near my university quite often, i always notice a mother with 3 kids on the corner of a street at a very dirty area begging for money. To me it is very unethical for that mother to put their kid in such an environment exposing them to carbon monoxide produce by those car and to the public. I believe that no matter the situation there is always a better way to earn a living and it is just a matter of determination to do so. This is why to me that mother on the street is being very unethical. However, who am i to judge as i am not her i will never understand how she feel or what she thinks.
Internet
The internet along with my other modern tech can be a huge distraction or a huge impact on my road to success. It all depend on how those modern tech is being use. Using the internet, we can broaden our knowledge and learn things in an instant. Using the internet, we can also communicate with people from all over the worlds through social media. I have this friend who meets with people she know through the net and this has become a cyber crime as there are many cases of people being rape, being kidnapped and being rob. Luckily this person is a kind and friendly person therefore nothing bad happen and a real friendship began. However, if the situation were to turn out in the other event, things would not had been as good as it is now. Now because of this, i think to myself in the future when i become a dad, should i or should i not let my son or daughter use the internet freely. As there is many other harmful things on the net that could lead to a negative situation for my son/daughter but letting them use the internet will broaden their mindset if used correctly. We can never be 100% sure that even with my restriction set, our son or daughter can be harm-free from the net. So the dilemma here is should parent let their son or daughter used the net as they like or should they not?
University
Students in general nowadays always do their assignments when it comes close to the deadline. i admit i am one of those student. In our lecture mind it may seam like we are a bad student who always do their work late or come to class late which i don`t really blame them but there is always a reason behind everything. i believe in second chances to redeem themselves and lecture should too if those students are worth that second chance. Some student might fail their course causing them to repeat the subject all over again. They fail either because they did not do their assignment or that they did not study. This is very normal i would say it happens in all university. However, there are certain situation whereby when lecturer A teacher their class, all the students pass with flying colors and when a new lecturer B comes in and replaces lecturer A, half of the class fail. My question is that is it fair for us as students to receive this kind of treatment. While my friend did this subject last semester, it was very easy and when i take it now, it is completely the opposite. I wonder why can`t the university set a standard of teaching so that is fair for all.
Besides that, examination tips. Last semester i had a friend and he told me that he was cheated by the lecturer. He said that the lecturer gave him the false tips. Is it ethical for that lecturer to do so? I feel that if they lecturer don`t want to give tips just don`t give rather than giving false tips causing the student to hate the lecturer. When it comes to exam, i would say both lecturer and student must do their part fairly by guiding students to the right path the right way.
I had a friend doing her last semester and there was one subject which was not offer for her at her last semester and she needed that subject to graduate. So the university asked her to stay back one more semester and pay a full semester fee just because of that one subject. Luckily she is smart and independent. She boiled and she went and meet the management and file a complaint. At first the management did not want to take any action so she made a hazard at the lobby. When she did that the management quickly took action and settle her issue. She was still pissed as the management would not take action at the first place and only took action when she made herself and the university look like a fool in front of people. Thus, my question is what if she was not daring enough to do what she do and had to pay a full semester fee just because of that one subject? can we say that the management is lazy to solve our problem and trying to leech all our money up? is up to you to be the judge.
Many would say that there is alot of unfairness in the world. The situations that you faced in the university could happen in the future when you are working. For example, you could have a very nice boss that gives you alot of freedom but when that boss leaves, your new boss is someone who is strict and expects higher performance from you. Would you say that your new boss is unfair? Would you demand from the top management (CEO) that you get the old boss back? (is it even possible?)Many times in life, we don't get to choose but we need to make a choice on whether should we accept the situation and adapt to it.
