In this week, our topic is ‘which jobs could a 100 year-old do. Recently, children (including us) could live 120 and work until they are 100. I think that we can’t live 120 years old but we mat live almost 100 years old. Do you image that you go to sports club and work anything? What’s more, we are 100 years old, I can’t image. Of course, I want get job and want to work by my retirement .I am going to go abroad after retirement. I will stay here and I want to make myself at home. Well, why they work? They are nonagenarian.
Certainly, they are not young as us. Need money? They feel worth doing? They don’t get pension enough? They have some reasons. So I think that truly truth is they have knowledge, experience, and a lot of practical experience. So they work without regard to their ages. I don’t think to work but I sympathize with their ideas.
In this TED speech, a scientist named Andres Forgacs introduces a new technology called “biofablication”. Biofablication is a way to make animal products such as meat or leather by growing animal’s cells. He strongly argues that this technology will save millions of land animals’ lives that are currently raised and killed for making animal products.
He emphasizes the need of this technology by statistically showing the current and future situation. According to the data he showed, today, 60 billions of land animals are maintained to provide people’s meat, dairy, eggs, and leather goods. As the
world population expands to 10 billion by 2050, the number of land animals we need will be 100 billion.
Utilizing this technology not only saves land animal’s lives, but also saves land, fresh water and greenhouse gases which has been used for livestock.
Moreover, by deciding the number of layers we use for biofablicate leather, it will be possible to change the characteristics of the leather. This means that the softness, breathability or durability can be changed as we want to.
When I first watched this TED presentation, I was amazed by this new technology and was inspired by his basic belief that land animals are not just raw materials but living things.
However, as I thought about it further, I found some disadvantages of this technology.
First of all, there will be value differences. Although the quality of the products made by biofablication is as same as or even better than that of the products made by actual killing, there will be people who prefer things made though killing the animals. Those people may think that those products made by grown tissue is not “real” and may refuse to buy biofablicated materials. Thus the value of the products will be decreased toward some people.
Second, the safety as a food may become controversial. Like genetically modified foods, the safety of the food is always a topic toward this kind of topic. Even though its safety was scientifically verified, there is a possibility that people still refuse to eat biofablicated meat.
In Japan, we will go to the resort on holiday. But it does not do self-catering at the hotel. Hotel employees will cook. In the UK, a holiday in they go to the resort, they will have a system that make the cuisine. I will say it and self-catering. Since the lowered prices in the United Kingdom, has increased the family to a more self-catering. There is a good point to self-catering. First, to keep the nutritional balance. Then, it is not very necessary money. Then, it can be adjusted to taste.Finally, it is healthy. I am living alone. At first I was a self-catering. There is no gradually time, eating out has increased. And unhealthy, it takes money. In discussing this news, I’ve found. Self-catering without going to the resort should be. Japan’s prices are up. But, it is high better to eat out. Also, I think that we should introduce the British system. Holiday will be fun. I want to experience.In fact I went to England, I want to experience.
This sentence it is written about the religious conflict in Myanmar. There are Muslims and Buddhists in Myanmar. I live in Japan. Therefore, I did not know that the country is caught up in religious strife. Muslims were kicked out of home by conflict.Many people lost their lives by conflict. Freedom of religion should be recognized. It was a fight that occurred in one of the town, but it also extends to other town. Is it not possible to respect the religion of each other.
Because the majority is Buddhist, Muslim shoulders are narrow. It’s persecution rather than say religion conflict. It is not recognized as a national as fact. It has been much dispute for a long time. Myanmar, as well as neighboring countries also a unstable. Myanmar government does not know the ultimate solution.Myanmar has progressed to democratization. But, there are a lot of problems such as religious strife. Myanmar government should find a fundamental solution. We are waiting for the new measures. And I pray the unity to meet the international community.
