Audience: All people who use mass media
Tone: sharp tone
Point of view: third person
Thesis statement: mass media lead to some conflicts
Structure:
1.Introduction
Many people often use mass media as a means of learning a country’s values and social structure or as a type of simple escapist entertainment with little redeeming value. However, the mass media often causes stereotyping about: an entire society and gender role. In addition, the mass media makes people confusing about what is the truth.

2.Body
a.Although mass media gives insight into what values are important to a country, it causes some stereotypes about the world. When watching movies, character’s action show what values are important. But, it does not represent entire society and sometimes disregard a person’s individuality.

b.The mass media reveals stereotypes of gender role because it portrays gender roles naturally in a drama or story. And it causes people adhere to past gender role.

c.In today’s society, newspapers and broadcasting companies play an important role on conveying useful information and news to viewers. But, they do not take a neutral attitude any more, and thus try to draw more viewers through dramatic description.
Example1) news media reported a certain murder case as a big incident, even if the suspect was not proved to be guilty.
Example2) my experience-mass media reported some news in favor of only one side. This made it impossible to understand world events such as the war in Iraq.

d.The solution to this problem-my opinion
Using Internet to promote cultural interaction among people and share various information and gaining firsthand information through trip or exchange student programs.

3.Conclusion
Therefore, mass media needs to control themselves and people have to be careful by not being misled.

Research paper (Heejin Kim)

1. Purpose: To give some suggestions and proper way to people who want to get plastic surgery.
2. Audience: everyone
3. Thesis statement: these days, the number of people who get plastic surgery is increasing dramatically. However, it causes various negative or positive effects to people. So we should find proper way to reduce the negative problem.
4. Structure
a. Introduction about the definition and history of plastic surgery.
- Plastic surgery is “the practice of performing operations to repair or replace skin which has been damaged, or to improve people’s appearance.” (electronic dictionary)
- Actual condition of plastic surgery in the world by using statistic.
① In 1992, patients who get plastic surgery are 412,901, but in 2002, it increases to 1,917,139.
② 2008 top cosmetic procedures (part of body preference) – by age group.
45% 35-50 4.6 million Liposuction Botox
26% 51-64 2.7 million Eyelid surgery Botox
22% 19-34 2.2 million Breast augmentation Laser hair removal
6% 65 and over 634,667 Eyelid surgery Botox
2% 18 and under 160,283 Rhinoplasty Laser hair removal
b. The reasons why do people get plastic surgery.
- To attract people, for career, for beauty, desire to look better than neighbors do.
c. Positive effects for this issue
- Surgery not only enhances your physical appearance it also does a lot for your sense of worth. Cosmetic surgery does wonders for peoples self confidence and self esteem.
- Some interview or cases of people who get plastic surgery and satisfied with it.
d. Negative effects for this issue
- Risk or side effects; headaches, nausea and prolonged pain, inflammation surrounding the area of the body where the procedure was done
- High expense
- Emotional Effects: “While they go under the knife to fix a problem they see on the outside, this sometimes only serves as a bandage on the larger problem. After the surgery they continue to suffer from a body image distortion.”
- Some cases of people who get plastic surgery, but it has a reverse effect on them.
e. A way to reduce scars from plastic surgery procedures unveiled
- A lot of this self-consciousness goes away with time. Ask yourself if you're considering plastic surgery because you want it for yourself or whether it's to please someone else.
- Getting in good shape through appropriate weight control and exercise can do great things for a person's looks without surgery. It's never a good idea to choose plastic surgery as a first option for something like weight loss that can be corrected in a nonsurgical manner.
f. Conclusion
As the trend has changed to beautiful physical appearance, lots of people want to get plastic surgery and consider it very seriously to fix their body or face to be beautiful. It sometimes involves lots of risks to people but no one can say to get plastic surgery is bad for people. Because it provides people who are not satisfied with their appearances or suffered from getting stress due to physical complex to have self-confidence. So we should know what the proper way is and find what kind of method do we overcome our complex instead of getting plastic surgery.

Outline (Thanh Tran-Terry)

I. Introduction
Thesis: America is a country of many ethnic united, a lot of people with different religious beliefs such as Buddhism, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic people… are living together so the misunderstandings between these people are inevitable. It is really hard for people to understand each other but we have to try although it may take a long time. I believe that one day people will come to understand each other and peace is around the world, no more wars and collisions.
II. Body
A.
1. In the past, Middle Eastern is considered the place where has terrorism and have interested in conflict with the west.
“Clash-of-civilizations fighters on this side of Huntington's fissure don't match their Middle Eastern counterparts when it comes to deliberate violence against innocents. Even so, they do much to fan the flames of conflict with their rhetoric and politics. Consider the war-of-words reaction to Warren's olive-branch appearance at this summer's Islamic conference”
2. After 9-11, the conflict between Muslim and Catholic is much more higher, wars begin between USA and Irag “The events of 9/11, ongoing war in Iraq, developments in Afghanistan, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict the Danish cartoon crisis. Pope Benedict's remarks on Islam, countless other lower-profile events events—all reflect the fact that Muslim-Christian and Muslim-Western relations stand among the defining issues of our age”
3. The question is: can we get along and come to an agreement between these religions? “Hardly a day goes by without reports of violence and conflict between Muslims, Christians, and Jews, with the emphasis in the West on acts of violence committed by Muslims and the emphasis in the Muslim world on violence perpetrated by Christians or Jews”, “Christians and Muslims have been forced to negotiate the realities of face-to-face interactions in everyday life, in political relations between Christian and Muslim nations, and in all-too-common violent conflicts.”
Resources: Academic search Premier

B. America is a country with many people united from many original countries around the world and Asian people group is a part of America. Most of Asia people are Buddhism belief while most of white and black Americans are Catholic and Christian. Therefore, sometimes, the conflict is inevitable. Buddhism is trying to make other religions come to understand each other.
“The basic message of modern Buddhism is that local and global well-being must begin with personal well-being, that large-scale problems are rooted in simple human misconceptions. Sivaraksa notes that all religions agree with this perspective; he consistently identifies peacemakers from other faiths and recounts the history of activists who more Americans should be aware of, among them Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, a Muslim nonviolent organizer who resisted the colonial British in India”
Resources: Academic search Premier
III. Conclusion
The world has many kinds of beliefs and religions. We can’t make other people stand under one belief. What we can do is trying to make people come to understand each other so that there is no more wars in this world.

Topic: many foreign workers in Korea sometimes experience discrimination. And there are lots of conflicts.

1. Kim sung min The foreign worker who got violence from the Korean worker in the factory submitted a lawsuit to court. Korean worker hit foreign worker because the foreign worker couldn’t understand his word. The problem happened because of communication between Korean worker and foreign worker. Then, angry Korean worker threw a machine parts to the foreign worker. So, the foreign worker had a fit of apoplexy. He did not give any return. Furthermore, he does not have ability for charges of an operation. This article shows disregard about foreign worker and poor situation of foreign worker.

2. “47% say gender inequality serious problem” 03. 26. 2009 The Korea Herald by Cho Ji-hyun. A study on gender equality released yesterday said less than half of Koreans believed sexual discrimination was a serious issue at workplaces. In the survey of 1,000 people over age 20, gender inequality was a serious concern to about 47 percent of the respondents, said officials of the Labor Ministry, which conducted the research. It showed eight out of 10 people saw less sexual discrimination acts at their companies compared to the past. This is the first time that the number of people who perceived gender inequality as a serious workplace issue has fallen below 50 percent since the study was first conducted in 2006. Of the female respondents, more than 34 percent said they have experienced sexual discrimination involving salary, promotion, educational opportunities and skill development sessions. It can be evidence Korea still have sexual inequality problem.

3. “Dealing with racism in hagwon.”
2008. 06. 11 By Susan Kim. Korea Herald.
Because cram schools operate under their own particularities, racial discrimination is quite common and blatant among them. In many cases, the discrimination involves race, gender, age and sexual orientation. Hagwon hire fewer black people, and recruiting agencies are not active in matching such people with jobs.
The Korea Herald has reported on cases of blatant racism in the hagwon industry. One such case involved several schools and recruiters placing job ads for "white teachers only." I also heard a story of a telephone interview in which a hagwon owner, during his talk with a potential English teacher, hung up immediately upon learning that the applicant was black.
Korean people have some prejudgment based on unsubstantial facts about black people.

4. “Setting a precedent on racism” Paul Kerry and Matthew Lamers 2009.11.06
Hussain's incident was reported in national dailies in Korea extensively after prosecutors charged the assailant with contempt, the first time the charge has been applied to an alleged act of racism here. In a country with a rapidly rising foreign population, incidents of racism have been a hot topic of debate amongst many non-Koreans, but had so far escaped national debate in what is still a homogeneous society. There is still no law to protect foreigners from racial abuse (the attacker in this case has been charged with contempt). But there has been some progress on the issue. Hussain delivered a speech last month at the National Assembly that was organized by the opposition Democratic Party and National Human Rights Commission to debate a proposed anti-racism bill. The law has been proposed to give prosecutors legal grounds to act on crimes instigated by race.
Fortunately nowadays in Korea there is some movement to protect foreign workers who live in Korea. But Korean’s thought have changed very slowly compared formal change like law.

5. “Are 'foreigner only' rules legal?” Benjamin K. Wagner 2009.07.24 Korea Herald
Some foreigner needed a new cell phone. But as a foreigner in Korea, that worker quickly found that options were limited. There are models galore, but complicated Korean rules turn something as simple as buying a phone into an exercise in futility. Everything depends on his visa status. A recent visit to one store was typical. Did he have a national ID, the counter guy asked. He produced his Alien Registration Card, and the man brought out a chart matching up visa types with cell phone plans. Why is that? The answer is usually that the foreigner is considered a "flight risk." While the citizen may be more risky financially, the reasoning goes, the foreigner could always flee the jurisdiction altogether

5.A New Brachiopod Fauna From The Early To Middle Permian Of Southern QingHai Province, Northwest China. Weihong He, G R Shi, Jianjun Bu, Zhijun Niu. Journal of Paleontology, Jul 2008.
Abstract:A new brachiopod fauna is described from the Early and Middle Permian of Zadoi and Zhidoi counties, southern Qinghai (Changdu block), northwest China. This fauna includes 13 species in nine genera with Spinomarginifera concentrica n. sp. and Transennatia waterhousei n. sp. The Early to Middle Permian brachiopod fauna from southern Qinghai is very similar to the contemporary Cathaysian faunas of South China with which the new fauna shares 70 per cent of its species. On the other hand, the Qinghai brachiopods also demonstrate a significant link with the Permian brachiopod fauna of the Sino-Mongolian-Japanese Province in northeast China, as suggested by Marginifera septentrionalis and Attenuatella. In particular, the occurrence of the bipolar brachiopod genus Attenuatella suggests that southern Qinghai may have played an important role as a biogeographic stepping stone in the marine faunal interchanges between the northern and southern hemispheres during the Early and Middle Permian.
I will use them to show how musuems in both America and China have inluence on people, and what is the difference between Chinese and American musuems.

Abstract:
This article talks about new Louisiana law. Basically, the new Louisiana law provides couples with a ready-made contract that, like all contracts, becomes enforceable by the state once it is entered into freely. In effect, Louisiana is providing a new form of prenuptial agreement, focused not on what happens to assets if the couple divorces, but on how to make divorce less likely.

I will make it as an example to tell audiences how government make measures to fix marital conflicts problem.

Why do people commit murder? (Seong Kyung Kim)

People kill for numerous amounts of reasons. One motive may be revenge. Usually, when someone kills out of vengeance, they do not think clearly, resulting in the instant decision to kill based on anger. Though most vengeful killings are not thought through or premeditated, some killings are. Certain vengeful killers filled with jealousy, anger, hatred, or a hunger for revenge may plan the definitive killing of a person or group of people using an intricate plan thought out for days, months, or even years. Although revenge may be one of the main reasons people kill, it is not the only one.

Mostly murders have unfortune background. A common belief is that people with a metal illness are dangerous because they can suddenly become aggressive. In reality, they are no more dangerous than anyone else. It is true that, in some instances, the symptoms of a metal illness can lead to aggressive behaviour, but this is rare.
(book)-Where there is no psychiatrist: a mental health care manual By Vikram Patel (Pg.53)

http://everydaypsychology.com/2008/07/why-do-people-kill-typology-of-violent.html
-At various times, I have been asked to lecture on the topic: why do people kill? Why do they commit murder? How do we explain acts of violence. The following is not an exhaustive explanation. It's a handout I use when I speak about different types of killers and the motivations for different crimes. But it describes many, if not most types of homicide and most acts of violence.It describes most of the killers and most of the violent individuals.

http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/narcissism/antisocial_sociopath_psychopath.html
-People who cannot contain their urges to harm (or kill) people repeatedly for no apparent reason are assumed to suffer from some mental illness. However, they may be more cruel than crazy, they may be choosing not to control their urges, they know right from wrong, they know exactly what they're doing, and they are definitely NOT insane, at least according to the consensus of most scholars (Samenow 2004). In such cases, they usually fall into one of three types that are typically considered aggravating circumstances in addition to their legal guilt -- antisocial personality disorder (APD), sociopath, or psychopath.

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/19/murder-case-focuses-new-attention-on-mental-illness-treatment/
-The arrest of David M. Tarloff, a man with a long history of mental illness, in the fatal stabbing of a psychologist in Manhattan has revived discussion on the thorny issue of how people with severe mental illnesses can be helped, even when they resist that assistance.

Topic - what we can do for global warming?

Nourishing green minds in the land of oil.

Abstract:

Climate change, global warming and the increasing in oil price are issues that concern everyone lately. Renewable energy is the solution for a safe and efficient environment for the new generations. Renewable energy sources are sustainable and are zero carbon emission.

In order to deploy these sources efficiently, expertise in this field must be provided. This is accomplished by educating the young generations to all related issues regarding these sources and the related technologies. This paper describes the experience of introducing renewable energy in the curriculum for undergraduate students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the steps taken to enhance the learning process. It only represents the first stage of implementing green energy education into an engineering technology program and highlights the impact of this experience on the students with respect to the environment and the community. Such experience is an example that can be followed in order to promote renewable energy technologies and to develop the expertise in this field in a country that has just started to embrace renewable energy.


A review of integration strategies for solid oxide fuel cells.
Abstract:

Due to increasing oil and gas demand, the depletion of fossil resources, serious global warming, efficient energy systems and new energy conversion processes are urgently needed. Fuel cells and hybrid systems have emerged as advanced thermodynamic systems with great promise in achieving high energy/power efficiency with reduced environmental loads. In particular, due to the synergistic effect of using integrated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and classical thermodynamic cycle technologies, the efficiency of the integrated system can be significantly improved. This paper reviews different concepts/strategies for SOFC-based integration systems, which are timely transformational energy-related technologies available to overcome the threats posed by climate change and energy security.





Plant oils as fuels for compression ignition engines: A technical review and life-cycle analysis.


Abstract:

As an alternative fuel for compression ignition engines, plant oils are in principle renewable and carbon-neutral. However, their use raises technical, economic and environmental issues. A comprehensive and up-to-date technical review of using both edible and non-edible plant oils (either pure or as blends with fossil diesel) in CI engines, based on comparisons with standard diesel fuel, has been carried out. The properties of several plant oils, and the results of engine tests using them, are reviewed based on the literature. Findings regarding engine performance, exhaust emissions and engine durability are collated. The causes of technical problems arising from the use of various oils are discussed, as are the modifications to oil and engine employed to alleviate these problems. The review shows that a number of plant oils can be used satisfactorily in CI engines, without transesterification, by preheating the oil and/or modifying the engine parameters and the maintenance schedule. As regards life-cycle energy and greenhouse gas emission analyses, these reveal considerable advantages of raw plant oils over fossil diesel and biodiesel. Typical results show that the life-cycle output-to-input energy ratio of raw plant oil is around 6 times higher than fossil diesel. Depending on either primary energy or fossil energy requirements, the life-cycle energy ratio of raw plant oil is in the range of 2-6 times higher than corresponding biodiesel. Moreover, raw plant oil has the highest potential of reducing life-cycle GHG emissions as compared to biodiesel and fossil diesel.



The essential role of state enforcement in the brave new world of greenhouse gas emission limits.

In June 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger addressed the United Nations on the topic of global warming and famously declared, "I say the debate is over. We know the science. We see the threat, and we know that the time for action is now." (1) Convinced by overwhelming scientific evidence, the California Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, a landmark law, referred to as "AB 32," which requires the State to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. (2) AB 32 poses significant, even daunting, requirements. By 2012, the California Air Resources Board will have issued extensive regulations for virtually every sector of the State's economy across all geographic regions that set forth specific actions for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. (3) The new regulations will use multiple mechanisms to achieve the reduction requirements, including the traditional command and control approach, market mechanisms, and regional targeting. (4) While the potential regulations and mechanisms have received a great deal of attention, much less attention has been given to an essential element of achieving the reductions: enforcement. We know from extensive experience that enforcement must be integrated into the process of creating regulations. Further, we must have enough regulators and prosecutors to ensure that enforcement is viable, appropriate and effective.
