Moving To Canada

The course of one’s life can completely change depending on each decision one makes. Everybody has a main event or people who affect their life and change how they feel and react to the world. For me that event is moving to Canada. Moving to Canada has become the most important event in my life so far. One important difference I have noticed between Canada, and my place of birth, China is the culture. Since I experienced Chinese culture at home and when I lived in China, experiencing western culture in Canada has given me a broader and more open view of the world because now I have more than one perspective. However because I am Chinese when meet somebody in the street in Canada they normally think of me as Chinese but when I meet somebody in China they notice my differences and think of me as a foreigner. An example is that in Canada all of my friends refer to me as Chinese not Canadian and when I am in China my friends and relatives refer to me as Canadian. Western Culture also greatly affected my lifestyle and changed the video games I play, movies I watch and books I read. An example is that because I did not live in China for very long I have never read any of the great Classics in Chinese and can sometimes not even understand Chinese T.V. Every Country has their own unique culture and learning a different culture can greatly change a person’s life such as mine.

What The Word Equality Means for Me

Equality is often considered that everyone should be treated the same regardless of their individual characteristics. A women should be treated the same as a man, and a man should be treated the same as a women. However, I do not think it makes sense to completely treat both genders equally, because there is obviously differences between the 2 genders which is why there are separate categories for them. Men on average are stronger than women, so men of course are more suited for heavy lifting jobs just like women have a better body for being in a high altitude which is why women can be better airplane pilots. Instead of focusing on treating people equal based on physical characteristics, there should be more focus on fairness. For example, both men and women should be treated with respect, and although there are differences between the genders, one should not be considered superior to the other. Both men and women should be given the same rights, and be protected by the same laws. In addition, minorities, as well as handicapped and people who are different should all be treated with the same respect and given the same rights as well. 

My Favourite Book of All Time

I love reading books; books are a very good source of entertainment. I have read many books in my life, and my favorite book is called “The Red and the Black” by Stendhal. “The Red and the Black” is a French novel published in 1830. It is about the life of a young man names Julien Sorel who is born into a poor family but is able to rise to the top of society. Julien is able to accomplish this by working very hard, however the aspect of the book that makes me admire Julien is that in this book, the thoughts and what Julien is thinking is told to the reader. It is very fascinating to look into the mind of Julien and see what he thinks and what he does that make him become so successful. Furthermore, Julien’s life is a very fascinating one, it is very interesting to see how he turns from a carpenter’s son to the tutor of the mayor and eventually rises to a high position in the Roman Catholic Church. 

If a Genie Were to Grant me Three Wishes

Most people would think it would be absolutely amazing if they were given the opportunity to be granted 3 wishes from a genie. Who wouldn’t!? , a wish could make your dreams comes true! I have thought about what I would like to wish for if I was given the chance to have 3 wishes granted from a genie. First of all, I know that there are so many unforeseeable events that may occur in the future, so wouldn’t it be great to have a guarantee that there is happiness in the future? For my first wish, I would wish that my life will be a very happy and fulfilling life. Secondly, money is very important in life, people work every day so they can earn money. It would be wonderful to live life without worry of money and have enough money to buy luxuries. This is why I want to wish for unlimited money for my second wish, I’ll be able to buy all types of delicious food, live in a big mansion, go on amazing vacations, and be able to buy and do almost anything that money can buy. Lastly, with all the joy and happiness that my first two wishes got me, it would be a shame if I died all of a sudden or died from old age. For my last wish, I would wish for immortality. Some people might think that living forever might get boring and eventually I would want to die. However, my first wish of everlasting happiness in my life guarantees that I will be happy throughout my everlasting life. 

1. GMO Foods

GMO foods refer to genetically modified foods. This means that certain foods, primarily crop plants have been altered genetically in order to improve certain traits of the plant. Some of these traits which are desirable and are improved are things such as resistance to pesticides, and improved nutrition. Genetically modified plants may also be easier to grow, faster to grow and more nutritious. These traits are very important in a world where the population is growing exponentially. The more food that can be produced, and the more nutritious the food will mean that less people are hungry. Many people are afraid that genetically modified plants may be harmful because they are not natural or that the genetically modified genes may spread to other plants and have undesirable consequences. However, I feel that foods and plants are composed of DNA, a natural plant may not necessarily be composed of the most optimal type of DNA for human consumption. That is, there are many natural foods that are not that healthy and not easy to grow because natural occurring does not equal best for human consumption.  The alteration of DNA of crops may seem potentially unsafe, but if there is the right amount of regulation and safety testing, then the food can be confirmed to be safe to eat. The problem with GMO foods should not be whether or not they are safe or unsafe, because with the right amount of regulation and testing they can be made sure that they are indeed safe. GMO foods have many beneficial traits that can be beneficial to everyone, more foods can be produced, and certain foods can be more nutritious.
