Smartphones in the Classroom?

     According to "Smartphones in the Classroom? Let Students Decide", David Gooblar states that students should be chose whether using own technology during class or not. Teachers think that hand writing is enough for note taking for student. But, he argues that students are needed to improve note taking and working skills using their techology; also, for preventing discrimination about students' disability, teachers should allow to use personal technology in the class. The author concludes by saying that discussion can be solution of this problem. It can reduce invisible discrimination and students make their rule about using technology.

environmental refugees


I agree to help environmental refugees such as vincente with national taxes. First, the cause of environmental problems such as global warming is not the refugees but the ordinary people. Handwerk(2004) states that “Human activities, burning fossil fuels and clearning forests, have greatly increased concentrations by producing these gases fster than plants and oceans can soak them up”. This demonstrates that people who want to get benefit from damaging the environment is the main cause of sea level rise and environmental refugee problems. Second, if the country provides basic support for refugees to settle, they will seek jobs in that country and can generate new taxes. Third, in the case of South Korea, many North Korean defectors are accommodated. South Korea supports the settlement of defectors on a humanitarian level. The North Korean defectors provide detailed information about the North Korean society, and South Korea can review the ways to narrow the gap between the North and South ideals so that they can prepare for unification more easily. The world should place more emphasis on human rights. Everyone should be given a fair opportunity and can choose where they live. That is why I think environmental refugees should be accepted and supported by nation.

Synthesis


   Climate change causes serious problems. First, Sea level is increasing because of global warming. For example, Handwerk(2004) states that “the average global sea level has risen by 4 to 8 inches over the past century”. This demonstrates that global warming geographically influences on planet. Second, variety of animals or plants species is decreasing. Most famous example is polar bears that lose their living habitat due to melting ice. Third, global warming makes millions of environmental refugees. For example, Kakissis(2010) says that Bangladeshi have moved their villages because of river erosion. This demonstrates that climate change affects human life. Global warming makes a variety of serious problems; therefore, we have to find ways to prevent these problems and to stop climate change.
