3. class work Women's right

Women's right is very important in every society. Think about that, it’s the women who pregnant and birth the baby and also bring the new life to the new generation. Its not women are more weak so that we need more protection from the laws or government; its women need to have the same right as men had in many ways. In the old time Taiwan, women rarely work outside and stay at home to take care of the family and child. Later, women work out and have their own business to improve their social position just like the man. Now days, women and men both need jobs to support themselves and a family. So, the problem comes… who will do the birth job? The answer is still women! And the first problem is how woman should do during the pregnancy and the time after she has a baby. Will the government support them money for it? How long their maternity leave should have? How can they survive in the workplace and work after their maternity leave?
From the news report, women in Taiwan earn 20 to 30 percent less than men, so that the man's income is typically a family's main revenue source. If women loose their job because of the babies, what can they do? I think those are the problems that we need to think about and talk about.

16. Class work Poem

From the 7 poems link teacher gave us, I chose one from Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken. I have read his poem from the Western Literature and I like his poem a lot.
Frost’s words are sincere, honest, and not resplendent at all and that’s the point to touch others. The first line wrote there is a man meets two roads a head in the forest. And then, he talks about the different of those two roads. One has more people decide to go because the road is wide and also looks easy to follow. And the other one seems less people chose to go and looks much harder, mysteries, and risk. The second stanza points poet’s will. He chose the one which is not so popular. Of course he wants two and he said that he can just leave one for later again, but the truth is he also knows that he can never back from the begin. He gave us a sigh because he knows the road are hard and will lead him a place different from others. Sometimes, many times, there has no perfect way and just one way of your decision.

1.Second Life

I didn’t watch the “Secind Life” film in class but I check it online as the teacher commended us. I even download the free game and tried to play it a little bit. I used to play a game names SIMS many yeaars ago and I found the “second Life” is similar to the game SIMS. But this game seems more powerful then the game I played before. It seems like a real new life you created and decided by yourself but not God. And in the game, you can do almost everything you want and go to the place wherever you like to go. And you can have your own schedule without anyone’s sugestion. If I can have mylife like that, how come I chose not to take it! That’s the magic of the imagination. As a man can never have their life like that, a smart people created a game and help you to have your dream contrue through the game.

WOW... Class work!

1. What is the penalty for plagiarism at Stanford University?
The standard penalty for a first-time violation of the Honor Code is a one-quarter suspension and 40 hours of community service. If the student is in his/her final quarter of enrollment the standard practice is to convert the one-quarter suspension into a two-quarter delay in the conferral of the degree.

2. What are the six possible punishments you can get at the University of Washington for plagiarism?
The six posssible punishments are Disciplinary Warning,Reprimand,Restitution,Disciplinary Probation,Suspension,Dismissal.

3. Google the words “Fired for plagiarism”. List three examples of people who have lost their jobs for plagiarism. Make a brief summary of them and write it on your blog.
(1)Madonna G. Constantine, the former professor of psychology and education at Columbia University’s Teachers College who was fired following allegations of plagiarism, has sued the university seeking reinstatement, the New York Daily News reported. University officials declined to comment to the newspaper about the lawsuit.
(2)If you publish a plagiarized article in a college newspaper, odds are you will be fired immediately when the plagiarism is discovered. However, if you work at CBS or at the Harvard Law School, your chances are survival are much greater. From the article: "The DP [Daily Pennsylvanian] does not tolerate plagiarism in any form..." One notes that "success in the marketplace" is not a mitigating factor for plagiarism in the college newspaper business. Being a "good" plagiarist is not a defense.
(3) The chief editorial writer of a local Japanese Hiroshi Kobayashi confessed to copying at least 15 editorials from other papers when he could no longer think what to write for his paper, the Kofu-based Yamanashi Nichinichi Shimbun. The company's president and chairman, Eiichi Noguchi, also resigned from his post as president.

4. Read the following examples of plagiarism and the action that was taken because of it at one American university. Do you agree with the punishment in these cases? If yes, why. If not, explain why. Write your opinion on your blog.
I agree that, but i think the punishment is too much for the Taiwaness student. I remember when i was in elementry school, teacher always told us to copy something as our homework and as a punishment for us. Later we grow up, sometimes we are not sensitive for coping things cause we copy many things as a usually. For Taiwaness, i think 20 hours of community service and drop the course that student have plagiarismd is more fair then 40 hours of community service and One-quarter suspension .
