ARW Blog Journal Assignment 3

Q. How did making an outline help you in writing your essay?

A. It was very useful.
Because it has clear sentences so it is easy to structure in my mind when I started to write my essay.
I'll write outline specifically like this way Chris taught us after this.

CM Blogging Assignment 2

The three google apps or Firefox add-ons that I want to review during the winter break are...

1) Google Reader
Because I think it includes more convenient things than those I know.

2) Google Scholar
Because I haven't understood this well yet.

3)Web Search Pro. (and Down Them All)
Because I'm interested in presentations of Mayu & Yuma.

CM Blogging Assignment 1

What I remember from last term's CM class is to present about zotero.
I paired with Aya and we searched new add-ons and find out zotero by our own.
In this term, I found that zotero is used in some classes by teachers.
So I am glad to know that and I remember it particularly.

[Review Sheet]

What is the function I am most unfamiliar with?
It is Google Reader.
Because it is difficult for me to treat it :(
However it seems that it's convenient so I want to be familiar it!

ARW Blog Journal Assignment 2

What is your topic?
My topic:
Body modification

What is your thesis (roughly stated) and what are the main points that support it?
My thesis:
Body modification in Japan should be treated more carefully after understanding the important meaning that is to modify the body because of accepted customs and values related to changing the form and appearance of the body.

The main points that support it:
Recently, people change their bodies easily but body modification was the important expression to represent their (the races') identity essentially. Moreover life is given by God, parents and ancestors to children from the various points of view.

Why did you choose your topic?
Because I watched a TV program about body modification and I was attracted by it. I felt recent body modification is unreasonable and I became to want to know and insist about it.

ARW Blog Journal Assignment 1

What is the most important issue concerning bioethics?
What I think the most important issue concerning bioethics is "Body modification." The other day, I watched a TV program about science and I knew there is a new plan I was attracted. It is that to apply the function of a camel's keeping water to people. It may not make rapid progress because Body modification like this is not performed easily, but it is dreadful for me if it will do so.
According to Shannon, one of the method of ethical decision making that frequently used in biothics is Cosequentialism. Shannon argue that the ethical theories of situation ethics and utilitarianism are frequently used types of consequetialist ethical theories. The actions like the above plan have utility and it may be understood in public and bioethics.
Thus, there are many the plans of "Body modification" I have not known yet and already had been fulfilled in the world. I think I want to consider that it is right or not from my point of view.
By the way, this is not the most important issue concerning bioethics, I think. There are other important issues but I chose this "aete" (←I can't explain in English!).

CM About this blog

Today, I started this blog because of CM's class.
I learned how to make a blog in English.
I could make this by using google's ID, and it took me only 3 minutes!
I have made an ID on the English sites like this so I could understand easily how to create this ID :)

I think it is effective that a life we can usually use English incorporates in our daily life.
Then I can know CM's other members' daily lives through the blogs so it's amicable!

I wanna utilize this for developing my English skills.

XD

i often cannot keep the blogs...
i wish this would not be so :(

winter is coming...
im looking forward to wearing winter clothes! :)
