[Week8] MBC reporters protest against biased programming







 On Friday, reporters in MBC suddenly stopped working after Lunar New Year holiday. The reason that they are doing is because they don't agree with the buased programing in MBC and they are protesting to stop it.

 Many people felt disapointement because of MBC news was not showing or telling public critical and emotional news and showing biased news to particular issues.



 Over 80 percent of the workiers in MBC agreed in stopping their work .After th decision that have bee chosen, 137 out of 149 reporters participated in the protest and they will stop working starting form the Wendsday and this is the first thime after April 2009 that workers refuse to work.

  I think that stooping work because of their own thoghts is not a good thing to do as a job owner and they need to have responsibility for their job. Even they don't like MBC and they think that MBC is too biased, they need to work. MBC was their workplace and they provided money for them while they were working
 in there. I wish that there should be no more protesting and refusing work of workers in eash companies.

[Week7] Nonsensical death because of noodles

 Lee had a very sudden and noonsensical death because of a cup nooddle on Sunday. People say that he was at work with other workers and was hungry so he wanted to have a mid-morning snack. While making the cup noodle, he poured antifreeze in to the sup noodles.

 Other workers say that the antifreeze was for their water to not freeze over night and it looked similar like water, thats why they didn't realize that they were not using water for cooking.  Lee ate the whole noodle but the other members didn't liked the unusual smell that doesn't come out from original cup noodles so they diddn't eat them all. And after eatind the noodle a little they got bad stomachache and went to the hospital.

 I was very shocked after seeing this news. I didn't know that people can actually die while eating cup noodles. I don't know how the antifreeze is dangerous so I don't know how hw died but I felt that I should be very careful while eating cup noodles because I saw a similar accident like this. A girl drinking agriculture pesticides thinking it as Sprite. I try to be careful after that but I should be more careful than before.

[Week6] Getting close to the end of slavery

 In Atlanta, many colledge students donated their money to end slavery and help children and adults who were suffering from slavery. Passion2012 conference, a meeting of 18 to 25 and they are trying to battle trafficking.

[Week5] Schoolgirl suicide, because of bulling

In Daejeon, one 17 year old girl suicided because she was being bullied in her school. Her friend and even her teacher ignored her even the teacher knew that she was being bullied.

She was being bullied since september and she was very stressed and nervous about it and she ascked for halp alot of times but teachers ignored her or even het her in a fight.

There was some evidence founded in her cellphone, the text message and the phone calls by the girls who bullied her.

Her 24 year old cousin gave an opinion that the students should be punished very strongly because their bullying led to her death and the teacher should be punished too, not as strong as the students but the teacher ignored her calling help and making her fight with them.

But, the school authority saids something different. They said that the  teacher gave her advices about the friendship with friends and most of the things that are mentioned by the cosin of her is wrong. And they also mentioned that there will be a punishment to the students who bullied her.

I don't understand why people bully each other. Some people bully other people becuase they look different or act little shy and don't talk too much but that can't be a reason becuase all the humans are same and we can't classify who is better than other because everyone has there own talent and they are all a good son or daughter and a good family member for people who care for them.

[Week3] Electronic device, lets find it back

 Because of some people who steals other people's electronic devices, there is a tracking software that is made and many people are using and buying to prevent their electronic devices to be stolen. Prey and GadgetTrack are some softwares that are used in iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, laptops and Adroid devices. 


→  iPad , which has a tracking service

 

  The programs can make the device disable itself if it gets stolen by the demand of the server. The software can also erase the personal information when the thief goes online. It can make an alarm sound and even can take a picture of the robber. Also we can find the device's location because it is connected by 3G, Wi-Fi or GPS connections.

 Still there is a problem to this program. That is, not everyone's electronic devices are connected to the police so the device might not be back to the owner.

 If there is a lost electornic device, the owner of it can tell the police if the electronic devices are conneted and has the tracking software. To avoid the electronic devices to be not stolen, owners should pay attention to the possibility of the device to be stolen.

 This program will be very useful to people who forgets their electronical device very easily but if the phone or electronical device doesn't provide the tracking software, it will not be useful. I think there should be a software that can be used in any electronical devices because many people, not just the users of the provided devices needs the software, other people needs it too.

All these singers came with many effort, time and practice so we have to emulate their attitute towards their own dream. I wish they can be a better singer in the future and I guess we can see them soon in TV with other entertainments which they are in and other good songs that they sing for us.\
