Argument Essay

Parenting class can help being a good parents for you

Being a parent is one of most thankful gift from God. Can you imagine your lovely baby’s peaceful face? It is beautiful. There are no parents who do not love their children and most of them decided be a good parent. However, how? Some of parents have no idea about way to be a good parent. Parents believe that they do their best for their children. However, it is not enough because there are lots of knowledge that is important to parenting. Parents get this knowledge in parenting class. Parenting classes give useful information about parenting, are also good for parents themselves and save money.

First of all, parents can get some of useful information about parenting. They can learn about infants. It is especially difficult to take care of infants because they cannot express what they want or need. At this time, you can avoid this kind of embarrassing situation as taking parenting classes. For example, parenting classes teach how to keep staying infants’ body temperature and put infants to bed. In addition parenting class can give more effective education information for parents. The home is a first socialization place to children. In this period, parents' role is very important because children are socialized to imitate parents' behavior. If parents show bad behavior in front of their children, they may learn by just looking parents’ behavior. According to Hayes(2003), children who is exposed violent frequently at their home more tend to violent than other children. This research shows that children's behavior is directly related with their parents’ behavior. Parenting classes teach how to act in front of your children and what is efficient way to talk to your children. Therefore as taking parenting classes, parent can avoid serious problem caused by lack of knowledge about children.

Secondly, parenting classes are also good for parents because parenting is not one sided but two sided communication. It is opportunity of moral growth for them. For instance, they will learn about practical love for family, how to be happy, healthy and cooperative. During this course, parents can feel some kind of responsibility and they will realize that they really love their family because this class is a kind of mental cure class too. In addition, parenting classes teach how to consider and understand others. Usually parents do not try to understand their children when they make a trouble with children. Parents do not want to hear about their opinion and just criticize about that because they think that is only children's fault. Most of family’s conflict between parents and children is caused by this misunderstanding. Parenting classes help to understand each other. For example, in this classes include kind of role playing. During this class, parents perform their children as if they are children. After this class they can understand their children easier than before. Therefore parenting classes can improve parents’ moral personality.

Finally, parenting class can help family's economic conditions. The cost of parenting is very expensive. Dalrymple, (2007) has reported that “a couple can plan to spend between $143,790 and $289,380 on a child through age 17.” We can know from this research that how much money spends for their children. However parents who have lots of knowledge about education by taking parenting class can save their money because they will know which education is more effective for children. Especially babies' case, they need lots of medical services because their body is weaker than adult. However parents who took classes about children's medical commonsense can avoid unnecessary spending. Therefore parenting class can save their money.

There are some people who do not agree with parenting classes argue that there are no one who have more information about their children than them. Therefore parenting class is unnecessary program. This argument is exactly untrue. Even if their children are the only one in the world, their behavior have similar pattern with other children because they are influenced not only their parents but also friends too. For instance, most of family’s trouble occurs during the age of adolescence because young people experience a lot of changing in their body and mentality. Parenting classes give some advices about adolescence. For example, parenting classes teach how to talk with their children, advice to their children suffering from physical changing. In addition, parenting classes give chance to change their mind about their children. Usually parents treat their children as a just baby. However even if baby, they have their own opinion and their opinion have to be respected by others. Most of parents pass out this point Parenting classes have many kind of lecture about adolescences. By taking this lecture, parents realize that their children are not just a baby but an individual person. Therefore parenting classes are necessary program for all of parents.

In conclusion, by taking parenting class you can be a good parent. It can give you useful information about parenting, is also good for parents and can help family's economic conditions. Even if, most of parents love their children, they may not know how to love. It is very important. There is no place which is better than own home. It is easy to be a parent but it is difficult to be a good parent. You want to have a happy family with your lovely children? Take parenting classes! It makes you best parent.

About GM Food

In his article, “Would You Like Fries With Your Clone?”, Guterl(2008) tells us whether GM food is good or not. Among the many of GM food, especially He focuses on cloned meat. He shows various aspects and lots of useful information about cloned meat. According to in the article, cloned meat has exact same quality with original species so we can eat good quality meat and save money. Actually livestock industry in US, they expect that they make lots of profit from GM food by cloning exact same copies with original. However there are some opposite side about cloned food. People who disagree with cloned food argue that there is possibility that it will be dangerous because we do not know all about DNA. In conclusion, even if the author shows both sides about GM food and cloned food, he seems to support the idea of GM food because he claims that we would not expect that cloned food is harmful for human.
It is clearly true that GM food have more advantages than disadvantages. The earth’s food resources are limited but as world population keep increasing, the need for more foods is also increasing. This kind of new technology can make our living condition better than before because it is safe to eat, improves nutrition and gives economic benefits to both producers and consumers.

First of all, cloned foods are safe to eat because there are no victims or problems caused by eating cloned meat. Some people argue that we should not eat cloned meat because we do not know all about that. However it is not make a sense. According to the article, Gutler(2008) says that “the safety authorities in the United States and Europe have apparently reasoned that a theoretical possibility is not reason enough to ban the practice”(para. 8). There are no problems so far. It means that cloned meat is safe to eat. Therefore we can eat cloned food without any harmful effect.

Second, cloned foods are good for healthy because it can improve nutrition. In his article, Guterl(2008) states that “Cloning, by definition, produces exact copies. The clone of cow that produces great milk should itself produce great milk.”(para. 3). Therefore we can eat cloned foods that have great quality. In addition, this kind of biotechnology can help poor people. There are many people who suffer from undernutrition because of their economical or environmental conditions. Especially less development countries’ case, GM food can help starving people and improve their healthy. In his article, Oliver(2007) says that “Golden Rice is loaded with so much beta-carotene that it can combat the issues of Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) to the point that some say it can even prevent blindness.” This research shows that GM food can improve our health condition. Therefore by eating GM food, like cloned meat and golden rice, we can be healthier than before.

Finally, cloned meat gives economical benefits. People can save their money by eating cloned meat because it is much cheaper than origin species but has same quality. Moreover farmers who breed cloned cow also can make lots of profit. According to the article, Guterl(2008) says that “On such an animal there’s no point in using cloning which can cost $20,000 a pop. However, an elite cow - one whose optimized for producing the healthiest, longest-living and most productive offspring - can fetch more than $100,000.”(para. 4). This research shows that livestock industry can make lots of economic profit from cloning. Therefore we should use this biotechnology for economy.

In conclusion, as keep growing population, demand for foods are also increasing. GM food is most efficient way to solve this problem because it has many benefits like safe to eat, economical and healthy. Therefore GM food should come into food chain. Therefore we should eat GM food for our future.

Research paper

Aquaculture In The Future

As world population keep increasing, food problems became one of biggest problem that we faced. There are many people who are suffer from starving and hunger. In Korea’s case also many population and food experts worry about food crisis. Therefore we need to other sources for supplying food. One of answers is aquaculture. Animal protein is one of essential nutrition for human and many of us get protein by eating fish. However aquaculture is still undeveloped area. In “Aquaculture a sustainable solution” author states that “Although aquaculture now accounts for over 30% of the world's fish production, it is confined mainly to the developed areas of eastern Asia and increasingly in southern Africa.”(2005, para. 2). This research shows that even if aquaculture is full of promise, we have not developed yet. By developing this huge potential area in Korea we can avoid food crisis because it has huge potential; seafood has lots of nutrition for healthy; it is environmentally friendly solution, and aquaculture gives lots of economic benefits because of huge amount of oceans.

Aquaculture is "the cultivation of aquatic animals and plants, esp. fish, shellfish, and seaweed, in natural or controlled marine or freshwater environments” (“Aquaculture”, 2006, para. 1). According to Miller's explaining, “Aquaculture can be used to raise fish and shellfish in freshwater ponds or in fenced-in areas or floating cages in coastal lagoons and estuaries” (1994, p. 45). Since the world community is worried about food problems, we have begun to consider aquaculture as a one of the most potential solution of food problems. However it does not mean that is a new practice. Actually history of aquaculture is almost one thousands years but its exact origins are unknown. Even if aquaculture’s origin is almost same with agriculture, its development is more slowly than agriculture because of environmental conditions that are more difficult to control than land (White, O’neal, & Tzankova, 2004). In Korea’s case also has long history with aquaculture. However modern aquaculture’s history is not very long. According to “Korean Aquaculture”, “The science-based research activities were initiated since 1929 when Jin-hae Inland Fisheries Research Institute of National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) was organized, focusing on freshwater finfish including common carp”(n. d. para.2). There are many opinions about aquaculture and whether it is efficient way to solve the food problems. Supporters argue that aquaculture can solve food problems because the earth is surrounded by oceans. In addition, seafood has lots of nutrition that is good for healthy (Hall, 2007). However some people disagree with aquaculture because it can cause pollution and change ecosystem in the sea (“Aquaculture”, n. d.).

First of all, aquaculture has huge potential in Korea because our country’s environmental conditions are good for aquaculture, and along with growing population, the demand for seafood also keep increasing. In “Korean Aquaculture” writer states that “Korea is geographically located in a thermal zone with four distinct seasons, thus it abounds in diverse marine organisms surrounding the peninsula” (n. d. para. 3). Thus our country can develop aqua culture easier than some other countries. Moreover as population increase, demand of seafood also increase. Thus we cannot supply enough fish using traditional way to catch fish from nature. In his article, Miller(1994) says that “since 1970 the per capita catch has declined in most years because the human population has grown at a faster than the fish catch.”(p. 45). It is why we have to develop aquaculture because aquaculture is kind of sustainable way to develop. Therefore aquaculture is worth developing.

Second, seafood is good for health because seafood has much nutrition than other foods. By eating seafood we can avoid some of diseases. In “Benefits of Fish 'Outweigh Risks'” the author claims that “Eating up to two portions of fish a week was beneficial, and eating fish could cut the risk of death from heart disease by a third”(2006, para. 5). Therefore seafood can make our bodies healthier than before. Moreover seafood is good for pregnant women and their babies. In “Fish in Pregnancy Benefits Baby” the writer says that “Children of mothers who had eaten lots of fish during pregnancy had better communication and social skills at seven years”(2007, para. 6). You can make your baby smarter by eating seafood. Thus pregnant women should eat seafood not only just for themselves but also for their babies. Therefore everyone can improve their healthy by eating seafood.

Third, aquaculture industry brings economic benefits. It can make lots of jobs for people. There are many people who suffer from starving and poverty because they have no job to make money. In contrast, aquaculture can make lots of jobs. According to Herrin (2002), “The subsequent hatchery investment boom resulted in a pyramid of job opportunities. Among the new job titles were hatchery construction worker, technician, fry counter, fish packer, broker, marketer, trader, and product exporter”(para. 8). Aquaculture gives job opportunities for people who do not have a job. Moreover, Aquaculture can be developed for tourism too. There is a good case that they developed aquaculture is not only for fishes but also for tourists. According to Robertson (2001), “James Ryan of Killary Salmon, who is chairman of the Irish Salmon Growers Association and a director of Sea-cruise Connemara, said an extra 30,000 visitors a year are attracted to Killary Harbor by the venture ‘The tourists are actually curious about what we are doing here,’ he said”(para. 5). This case shows that aquaculture can coexist with tourism. Korea has lots of beautiful sea which is good for tour so we can make good economical result by developing aquaculture.

There are some of people who disagree with aquaculture. They argue that aquaculture industry can cause water pollution and destroy water ecosystem. This used to be true because usually aquaculture facilities produce various kind of material that is harmful to the environment. However it is not a problem anymore because aquaculture industry develops new alternative model that is sustainable solution and country makes strong legal system for environment. Many industry fields begin to develop eco-friendly way and also aquaculture industry develop eco-friendly model. Many industry fields begin to develop eco-friendly way and also aquaculture industry develop eco-friendly models. There are a number of model that is eco-friendly model to develop aquaculture. (White, O’neal and Tzankova, 2008). There are three types of way to develop new model, “Ecological aquaculture”, “Organic aquaculture”, and “Polyculture and integrated aquaculture” (White, O’neal and Tzankova, 2004, p.8-9). This article tells us that we can develop aquaculture without environmental impact. Also environmental impact by aquaculture can be controlled by legal system. For example, in “A Beginner's Guide to the 2004 Aquaculture Law Reforms”(2005) author states that “When an Aquaculture Management Area is proposed, the views of affected groups and the general public must be canvassed and listened to before an Aquaculture Management Area can be approved and become part of the regional coastal plan. As well, the Ministry of Fisheries will test for any 'undue adverse effects' on commercial, customary or recreational fishing activities.” Through this process, we can make sure whether some region can approve aquaculture or not. Therefore we do not have to worry about environmental problems because both advance of science and legal sanction can help to avoid impact on environment.

In conclusion, Korea is such a small land and we do not have lots of natural resources. So usually we have to depend on imports for food resources. However we have huge amount of ocean that is less developed. Therefore we should develop aquaculture industry because our geographical conditions are good for aquaculture, demands for sea foods keep increasing and it brings economic splash like many jobs and tourism. Moreover seafood has lots of nutrition for human and it is eco-friendly system. By developing this huge potential area, our country will overcome food crisis and accomplish economic growth.

Fire engines come to our dormitary!

On firday. It's my favorite day, because there is no class and weekend is comins soon. So my feeling is good every Friday. After class I went to my friend's birthday party. We had a good time. My friend was impressed by our party. After party I arrived at home, and took a rest. A few minutes later I fell a sleep. When I was enjoying my break time, I heard some noisy from outside. I woke up and listen carefully. I was so surprised and humilated, because it was fire alarm. I immediately went out of my room. Dormitary dwner and some helper moved around all of rooms and shouted "Move away outside!", I hurried to go to outside. Many people who were surprised by alarm were already there. But nobody knew which room was burning. Because dormitary looks safe. A few minutes later, a fire engine arrived our dormitary and fire officers were moved around. It looks serious, but actually it wasn't real emergency. Why? Because an alarm had been wrong working. The reason of fire was smoke. The smoke was from outside. There were some person who enjoyed party out of place. They cooked meat that made smoke. The smoke came ti inside of dormitary. The alarm had been worked by the smoke. Then we feeled for the first time to safe. If it were real fire, I would have spent horrible weekend.
