Recently, Ed Sheeran the British singer who has a non-stop touring concert since 2014 damaged his ear drum because of wrong landing when he falling off from a yacht. For this reason, Ed Sheeran decided to have an ear operation in next year 2106, January. Ed Sheeran also noticed that he would take a break from social media since he want to see a ‘real world’, rather than the world shown from a screen. Now he is planning to spending free time with friends and to going to travel somewhere.

In class, we have discussed about singers retiring from their job because of their private problems. In this article, Ed Sheeran announced that he is planning to retire social media because of his stupid behavior. In my thought, celebrities which include singers have to be responsible for communicating with their fans. Sometimes fans take energy from hearing songs sung by the singer who they love or watching news and tweets of the singer. Therefore, in my opinion, fiduciary relation would be lost between singer and fans if a singer stops his or her activities in a ridiculous reason. Celebrities have to make an effort to keep contacting with their fans, without this effort, fans will disappoint to that singer. In addition to keep contacting with their fans, celebrities have to manage themselves steadily.

This article says that NASA is gathering people who want to volunteer to go space travel. Especially, NASA expects for these volunteers to exploring the Mars and putting boot prints on the Mars surface. However, there are three qualifications to apply this project. First, appointee have to be a US citizen. Secondly, applicants have to be smart and passionated from what they have done. Thirdly, applicants who had passed an evaluation, they have to endure spaeflight physical test which cost amount of time. Some experts such as Brian Kelly says this program is a consideralbe strides to the space travel history.

I am very interested when I first read this article, since I am lost in the isuue of outer space. I had seen many movies which are related to outer space, such as <Interstellar> and related videos in Youtube such as signs of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial being is Moon and Mars. However, I would never participate to the program which introduced in this article even NASA directly wants me to join in. This is because there are no assurance that this project will be end successfully. Even though I am curious to the existense of universe and want to travel to the universe, SAFETY is the BEST.

This is the article of a Japan’s national event. To summarize this article, Hakubun Shimomura, the Japan’s education and sports minister, is criticized for the worst preparation toward Tokyo Olympic. Tokyo Olympic is now blamed by many reasons. First, Tokyo Olympic official has blamed for emblem plagiarism. Tokyo Olympic official plagiarized the emblem of 『THEATRE DE LIEGE』. Second, the construction of a main stadium has been delayed and also, designer of the project had fired for its charge. Third, Hakubun Shimomura is deeply related with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, who is president of Tokyo’s organizing committee, and the decision making was partly hindered by a council of senior officials.

 

When I first saw the emblem of the Tokyo Olympic, I could not understand why Tokyo Olympic has plagiarized their emblem. There was many better choices as an example for『http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34125046』. Plus, I cannot understand why construction had taken so much time. The plan of the construction was just a remodeling of the main stadium not building from the first. Moreover, it is very suspicious that Prime Minister and former Prime Minister are protecting him. Therefore, I think THEY(Prime Minister, former Prime Minister) and Hakubun Shimomura have a back-scratching alliance.

This article is about the recent society. In Seoul, Korea the Queer festival which the event to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. However, some Christian activists protested to festival and tried to disturb participants. At last, police set up a wall between the two groups and mobilized some 5,000 officers to prevent a possible clash between them.

 

Frankly speaking, I disagree with same-sex love since homosexual love is unnatural. People evolved to love the opposite sex. We can see that evidence in socially and physically. Usually humans love opposite sex. Of course, there are many precedents of homosexual love such as a trend in ancient Greeks. However, universally, people think queer is weird. Also, we can found a reason for love opposite sex in generative organs.

 

Even though I disagree with same-sex love, I do not oppose to same sex marriage. No matter how it is unnatural, loving with same sex is homosexual’s free will. People do not have a right to intercept their love. Moreover, homosexual do not harm anyone. Some people might say homosexual give an effect to a birth rate. However, homosexual group is a very small part of the society. They do not give such effect to a birth rate in fact.

 

To summarize my opinion, despite loving with same sex is unnatural, we could not interfere and regulate them loving each other since it is their free will.

Recently, bioprinting is arousing its interest among people. In this lecture, bioprinting means the construction of a biological structure by computer-aided, automatic, layer-by-layer deposition, transfer, and patterning of small amounts of biological material. Since many people are not used to manipulating bioprinting, they might think it is unsafe. In my opinion, I totally agree to get a meat or leather by using biofabrication. There are two reasons I agree to use biofabrication. First reason is that bioprinting is deeply related to improve air pollution. Secondly, capitalizing biofabrication contributes to raise animals’ right to live.

 

To begin with, raising livestock makes tremendous amount of gas that give adverse effect on the environment. The article <Do Cow Farts Really Significantly Contribute to Global Warming?>[1] says that methane gas is twenty one times more potent at trapping heat from the Sun than carbon dioxide. Also, this article claims that livestock, especially cattle make tremendous amount of methane gas and the emission rate of the methane gas is annually increasing since a demand of a meat is in a phase of increment.

 

Secondly, an animal right can be protected by utilizing biofabrication. Livestock are raised only to accomplish a goal which to provide abundant amount of meat to people. They rise in a confined cage, eat unnatural feed, produce Young, and killed to provide people as a meat. Some people might say it is a natural thing; however, in my thought, animals have its own emotion, they have a right to protected. If Andras’s project goes further, there is no reason to kill animals just to get a meat or leather.

 

To summarize my opinion, adopting biofabrication helps to improve pollution and to protect animals’ right to live. Therefore, I suggest that bioprinting project should be continued.

This article says that 10 Children who live in rural Kentucky seized by government. The government says that the reason why the government seized them was for giving appropriate educational, lifestyle services to children.

However, family members and their Friends say that they are may be off grid, but they aren’t anonymous. In fact, family members updated Facebook page frequently.

Parent of the family taught children as a homeschooling , named “back to basics life.” The government claimed that children ahve a right to choose to living in appropriate conditions, or having public education.

In my opinion, the goverment have to leave them to maintain their own lifestyle. I think homeschooling has more merits than weaknesses since school education does not teach uaual morals to children. Plus, if is very hard for people who live in rural areas to having a long distance attendance to school.

In school, we usually learn about academic moral principles but not morals that we have to improve and to use in daily life. In fact, we learn this kind of morals to one’s parent, in one’s home.

Attending school is very bothering to person who even living in a place near by the school, thus attending a school as long distance might be a huge burden to person who living in off-grid areas.

Therefore, I suggest the government should not intercept family came out from this article.
