The Discovery That Can Change The World

 

 

 

         As we know it, our world is slowly dieing. We should do our best to make it a suitable living place for future generation, so that they may have the same amount quality and experiences in their own lives that we have. One big problem that causes our earth to die, is in the environment department, and some of these problems include, pollution from factories, idling cars etc. We must take action to stop out planet from dieing, and do our best to find ways to maintain its properties, and two high school girls have done just that. These two girls have found a possible solution to our major plastic wast problem.

 

 

 

        One year ago, two high school girls named, Miranda Wang, and Jeanny Yao discovered a bacteria in the Fraser River, that can break down phthalates, which are found in plastic water bottles and other items. Miranda, and Jeannys goal, was to use this bacteria to break down plastic, taking the time to break down an apple. Since plastic bottles will take at least 1000 years to properly be disposed and broke down, it is amazing how this bacteria can break down plastic with just the time to break down a apple core, which approximately takes 3 months.

 

 

        There discoveries were valued at 10 million dollars for commercial purposes, and i personally think that, that price is definitely fair. If you think, and look at the amazing discovery these to high school teenagers have made, it is possibly a glimpse of our futuristic utopia. Just imagine, with a sprinkle of this bacteria, and you look in your garbage the day of the trash pick up, and find that your plastic bottles have broken down, and can now be disposed of easily. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

 

 

        These two high school students, are the type of people that we need in todays society to help our communities grow, and to make our planet, the beutiful and green Earth blossom. I think that we can be these people if we just put our minds to it. I would like to conclude by saying that, these amazing dicoveries in our world, often start with a tiny idea, and then later growing into a full grown tree. We have plenty of time to make our world a better place, and we just gotto put our minds to it.

 

 

 

INCREDIBLE!!





Surviving on Hope - Karen Li

People sometimes will have to face an expected or unexpected event and handle it without any other choices. When the event is a long-term effect, then the only way out is to survive on hope. Everyone has hope, but to the African children, their only hope comes from their remote supporters.

The Discovery of Phthalates - Karen Li

Science takes a big part in our lives while we corporate with science imperceptibly without noticing. We use science for building our houses, we use science for wearing appropriate clothing, we use science for our electronic devices, and we use science even for the simplest parts in our lives. One of the most considerable problems around the globe is about the environment. As we have being hoping that those issues can be katabatic using science. Recently, two high school girls had discovered a way to make our miserable environment condition better.

North Korean Speech For Freedom

        On the Ted stage, the physical definition of hope was presenting her speech on her road to freedom. From war, to peace. Hyeonseo Lee is one of many north Korean women, who desired freedom, and wanted to move to south Korea to seek shelter. Hyeonseo has been through a hard tough road to earn her freedom, and she absolutely deserved every bit of it.

Whats Right to do? Is there a Moral Side to Murder?

  A Harvard justice course covered "The Moral Side of Murder". This was asking "Is Murder ever moral?" where the professor told the students several scenarios  about using  lives to save lives and asked if the act was moral. The professor himself was an amazing public speaker, he was quick at responding, frequently used gestures and was well prepared for anything that the students said or asked.

The Moral Choice Of Right Or Wrong

In this video made by Harvard, they discuss the moral choices of a human being while other lives were at stake. We are all human beings, and we are all equally important as human beings,  and to kill one person just so you can save 5 other people in my opinion is not morally correct, or morally just.

What’s the right thing to do? - Karen

People often face to make a choice. But the choice is usually the compound of two contradictory consequence, justice and injustice. Except for having to make a choice, is there other way out? Is Not-To-Make-Choice a right thing to do? 

The Moral Side of Murder - Eugene Wong

Since I have always had profound interest, I found this lecture on law very interesting. In many ways, this lesson was as much about philosophy as about law. I really enjoyed learning about different styles of reasoning that explained why some people would consider one action (in this case, turning the trolley car to kill one person instead of two, or saving four moderately urgent patients instead of one in critical condition) “right” over another option.
