Hey everybody, have not been blogging for days. Ok, today I will go straight to the point. As the topic suggests, I will be talking about discriminations and see if they are behaviors that are acceptable or not. What does discrimination means? It means that it is some kind or form of exclusion or rejection treatment taken toward or against a person of a certain group that is taken in consideration based on class or category. All of us discriminate people that we think that they are inferior to us. Me and one of my friend, whenever walking past a friend, will purposely scold vulgarities at him, just because that he is smarter than us by miles, and then we will walk away giggling and laughing at him. However when I think about it, I will think that our behavior are very nasty and quite overboard. We shouldn’t have walked past him, and booing at him just because that he is better than us in terms of intellectual level. The friend does not have much friends, unlike us, because of his intelligence and people will call him “nerd” or “mugger” whenever when they walk past him, and thus, no friends would like to befriend him. Can you imagine a life without any friends? When you have troubles, who can you take comfort from? When you are being discriminated, who can stand up for you? This life is totally intolerable, if I were him. I would rather commit suicide. I would not want a lonely life.
Another example is the Bishan Gay. People when seeing him, will scold vulgarities at him. He likes looking at guys wearing short pants, and he will smile at him, or he will step forward and take the initiative to spark off a conversation with him. I can imagine how people will feel if they see someone smiling at them, and staring at them until they are out of sight, not to mention that these behavior comes from a guy. They will feel that they are being stalked, and they will feel frightened. My friend says that he sees him on his way back home, and whenever he sees that he is smiling at him, he will be frightened. Nothing good comes out from his mouth when we talk about him, and instead he will talk about how frightening he is when he smiles at him. Whenever people sees him on the bus, he will smile at them and even if they changes seat, he will still continue to look at him, and not stop until he goes off from the bus. My friend says that he will even take out his phone to snap a picture of you. People on facebook are talking about his behavior and they are “full of praises” for him. However, has it ever striked you that even if his behavior spooks you, but he will not try anything funny on you? When we labeled him as the “Bishan Gay”, “KFC guy”, and the “156 gay”, how will he feel? People have feelings and emotions, and he might have his motive for behaving like that, and he might have his own problems for doing so. We should not shun him, like most people do, however, we can call for help if he tries anything funny on you. We should not discriminate him like that, and insult him by calling him names and scolding vulgarities at him.
I have come to the end of today’s post. Discrimination is no good, as it can hurt people’s feeling, no matter in terms of smartness and how they behave. People cannot control how smart are they, and people cannot control how they behave. We should not shun them. The conclusion of today’s post: do not discriminate people. Thank you, and may our path cross some other time. ( haha, sounds like some fighting show.)
This is the first question of today's homework and I will be talking about whether it is good or bad. Lotteries have been called a tax on the poor. Ultimately at only a dollar or two a ticket, anyone can play the lotteries. However, many people become addicted to buying tickets and they can cause family or marital problems. If you are in debt from playing lottery and as a result of it, it will cause worries to your families and if you borrow money from them, they will quarrel with you and as everyone knows, this will spoil the relationship between you and your family members. If you are married, it will be even worse because you have to face them everyday and a quarrel will inevitably break out between the both of you, and no sooner, a family will be broken because of your foolishness to gamble and get addicted in it. However, this is not the point of my post today. If you could control yourself, and treat it as a form of leisure, and not as a form of earning money, nothing will happen between your marriage, not to mention your family members. Why is it that some governments outlaw lottery, a form of gambling which involves the drawing of lots for a prize, while others endorse it to the extent of organizing a national lottery. The country that outlaws lottery does not want its citizen to experience a thrill and indulge in a fantasy of becoming rich. They will cause themselves to become bankrupt at the end of the day and I can see that they are very poor, and that is part of the reason for them not to allow its citizen to take part in the lottery, because of the word “fear”. They are afraid that they will fall into a heap of dept and cause failure to his name at the end of the day, and when they are seen walking on the streets, people will know that this is the person that has gone bankrupt as a result of gambling and they will look at him with strange expression and fingers will be seen pointing at him. The world will also know that the country has some gambling addicts and this is the point that I would like to raise here, that some countries outlaws lottery, because of the word “fear” and this is the word that is stopping them from allowing its citizen to gamble. And why, why do a lot of countries that organises a national lottery is not afraid of this reason? Why is it that countries from Africa, America, South America, Asia and the Australasia are allowed by their governments to buy the lottery. It is because the government allows them to buy lottery because he believes that they will not indulge in it and cause themselves to be labeled a bankrupt at the end of the day. He believes that the citizen of the countries have the self-control to control themselves from doing such a thing. He believes that the citizens treats it as a leisure and this is why the government allows the lottery even in Singapore. Thus, I ask my mother, “Mummy, what will you do if Daddy gets addicted in gambling and cause himself to become a bankrupt?” She said, “I believes that your father has the self-control to stop himself from getting addicted in gambling.” Thus, I can conclude that the countries that allows its citizen to take part in the lottery because of the word “trust”. It is trust that allows the countries to allow its citizen to take part in the lottery. Besides lottery is also a game about luck, it can make people become a millionaire from a poor person. As long as you don’t get addicted into it, you will not fall into a heap of dept. Reference:
