A moral question
Through history, there are many deaths because of the unfairness and incompleteness of the health care system. The system requires patients to pay full amount of payment in order to get a treatment. Many people can’t afford to pay the bill and their wage is too high to qualify for the health care, so they couldn't be cured by the doctor.
Nikki White died because she lives in the United States. Nikki White had a serious disease called lupus erythematous. However modern medicine can cure it. Nikki White had too much money to qualify for health care but too little too pay for the drug. Therefore, she cannot get medicine for her to stay alive.
Ms.White’s death could explain by two American values. Change means progress, improvement and growth. In positive way, if the health care is open for everyone in America, then Nikki White will not died because of the disease. However, in the case, if the health care was open for everyone, the government will have to spend most of the money on medical which it is not good for American. Another American value is equality. This means people have equal opportunists no matter who they are. Again, this value has two sides. If there was equality for everyone in the United State, than Nikki White will get a treatment from the doctor and she will not die. However if there was equality for everyone, the American government have to spend a lot of money on it. So it will cause American to be loss develop than now.
My personal reaction of Nikki White is filled with regret, because she is in middle class so she didn’t get health insurance and treatment so she lost her life. The Unite State system should make changes to the health system and give opportunities to every American. They should help patients in the first step, and then collect payment from them at the end.
In conclusion, the unfairness and incompleteness of the health care system cause the death of Nikki White. If the health system had helped Nikki White first then she would still be alive; therefore, America should improve its health system.

“Online Learning”
What do you need to be successful in college? Definitely, a good learning method is required for a student to do well in college. Students must find the best learning method that fit for them. There are three different type learning methods which are face to face learning, online learning and hybrid learning.
There are advantages and disadvantages in face to face learning method. First of all, students can work in group together. They can ask each other question instead of asking teacher which will not make them nervous. Second, in face to face learning method teacher explain the material clearly than if you study by your own. For example: Last week I attended a lecture I “Gender and Future of Genocide studies” report from Dr. Elisa Von Joeden-Forgey, the teacher go over everything that we were confuse about and explained them with examples that’s why it’s more clearly. However, in face to face learning method, students get limited time because there are limit time for every class. Sometime students will not have enough time to discuss all the questions together. Moreover, there are challenges for some students who are shy and they don’t like to communicate with other student. The face to face learning method is good for students that are not shy to interact with other student but it is not favorite by those students whom are shy.
Online learning is another learning method for students and it also has pros and cons when using this method. In online learning students study their courses materials through internet. Students who live far away from school will benefit the most because they can access the materials that they needed for classes in the internet. Furthermore, students can manage the learning time and take break when they are tired. On the other hand, there is one critical disadvantage about online learning method which is that when student find something that is difficult to understand they can’t ask teacher for help. In online learning students can access that material online and manage the time that they want to study but they can’t ask for help when they need it.
Hybrid learning combines traditional face to face instruction with online learning method. In this method, students benefit the most from it. First of all, students can work in group with classmate when they are in school which they can ask questions with each other. Second of all, students can access materials that they needed online which make it easier for student to study for tests and quizzes. Finally, students have unlimited time to study because they can study in classroom and in home through internet.
In conclusion, different people prefer different learning methods. Students must find the best learning method for them in order to succeed in college. Online learning provides easy access to material for students and student can choose the time that they prefer to study. Yet, they can find help when they need one. In face to face learning method, students can work with each other and ask questions at any time but they have limited time in school. Finally, hybrid learning is a combination of face to face learning and online learning method which in my opinion is the best learning method for students to achieve their goal in college.
“Volunteering”
What do you do in your spare time? Volunteering may be a great idea. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people’s lives including your own. It is also a way of giving back to your community while gaining valuable working experience and helping whoever needs help at the same time.
People gain important working experience through volunteering. There are many types of volunteer work that are possible in the city. Each individual work requires different working skills. For example, when people volunteer at kindergarten, they must be patient and loving because the kids in the kindergarten are not easy to take care of. Moreover, when people volunteer in United State congressman’s office, they have to visit people’s door for questionnaire. Therefore, people must learn to be confident in them self so they don’t feel ashamed to talk to the people that they visited. Another example is that if the volunteers major in education, and they volunteer as teacher’s assistance, they will learn how the teacher teaches the children. Then they will gain experience for doing it. After they graduate and become a teacher, they will know what to do in the first day. When working as volunteers people gain experience for whatever volunteers they worked for.
Volunteering is a way that will benefit many people that need help. In this city, there are thousands people and animals that are not able to assist themselves such as the elderly in the nursing homes and injured animals in the animal adaptation hospital. These people and animals needed a lot help from the society but they can’t afford to pay for it. Therefore, volunteers are very critical for them. For example, when people volunteer in animal adaptation hospitals, they can feed the animals, help them take showers and take care of their wounds which will keep the environment in hospital clean and the animals will recover more quickly. Another example is that, the elderly in the nursing home can’t take care of themselves. Therefore, volunteers can feed them, cut nails for them and massage them. These actions will create a better life for the elderly.
There are many volunteer jobs available in New York City. First, there is Community and Neighbor program which it is a program to help adults and students to improve their writing skill. Second, the program called Girl Soccer Coach and Mentor is seeking coaches that will help the girl soccer team to develop their soccer skills. Finally, the program Queens Green Teens is seeking teenagers that are interested in cleaning up the local park by removing the leaves and recyclable cans. There are infinitely more volunteer opportunities out there for anyone who is interested in it. (www.nycservice.org)
In conclusion, volunteering is an opportunity that benefits both the people who need help and volunteers. It helps volunteers to gain important working experience by trying out different jobs. Also, volunteering benefits the elderly in nursing home and injured animal in the animal adaption hospital because volunteers will help them to do a lot works that they are not able to do it. There are also a lot volunteering opportunities in the New York City. In my opinion, we should only volunteer when we have time or when we finish our school work. If we didn’t finish the school work and we volunteer, it will harm our school grade.
"Miss Evers' Boys" Movie Review
According to “Miss Evens’ Boys”, during the great depression in 1932 Macon Country, Alabama, The federal government do the secret medical experiment in to treatment on the African Americans who are syphilis. They view African Americans as their test experiment tools. Nurse Miss Ever is a loyal who invited to work with doctor on this program. The free treatment is offered to those who test positive for the disease. When the government withdraws the funding also hide the truth of what and become the Tuskegee experiment. Patients who don’t receive treatment is effect of a study. Now the men who has syphilis must be result in believe they are being cared and cure for, but in fact they are be left with no effective treatment. Miss Ever is faced a terrible situation weather to remain silent or tell the patients and abandon the experiment.
The movie shows the idea of racism which we can connect the idea to our life. Racism occur everywhere in our life for example when I shop in supermarket, I saw some white American doesn’t not want those African Americans to check out for them instead they went to white American cashier to check out. Meanwhile, it also connects to the book “The Immortal life of Henrietta Lack”, Henrietta Lack was an Africa American, and she has been similar experiment as the Africa American patients who are syphilis. Lack died of cervical cancer.The doctor Gey took her cells sample without her knowledge were used to form the HeLa cell line.The doctor didn’t tell her family’s until she died fifth years later the truth was discovered.
In conclusion, the movie give the reader senses of human greedy, racism and brutal. For example the African people was used as experiment tool and the state government took away the funds for the treatment instead the funds was use for medical treatment. In my opinion, I think everyone should be equal. We can’t treat thoughts people differently just base on the skin color it is unfair to them. I think this knowledge is important because people can learned what happened in the past and it also reveals the human greedy.

The Immigration Debate
Each year many immigrants legal or illegal from all around the world come into the United States. These immigrants have all different motivations. When the immigration population keeps increasing, it somehow benefits the economy and cultural diversity of America. On the other hand, it also harms the United States by taking away the job opportunities from Native American and causing over population in America.
Immigration increases the efficiency of the economy and cultural diversity of the United States. Native Americans may claim that immigrants from other countries may take away their jobs. However, it is not the case because the jobs that immigrants work in were all the low payment and harsh jobs that Americans do not want to work in. By filling the role of these harsh jobs, immigrants helped the development of the Economy. Furthermore, when different immigrants arrive to America, they bring different cultures, customs, traditions and lead the host country’s society to America. As a result, there are more cultures for people to enjoy. Immigration benefits the economy of America and brings different cultural experiences to America.
On the other hand, immigrants also seizes the job opportunities in America and cause America to be overpopulated. All of the immigrants come to America for job opportunities. When they arrive to America, they try to work as soon as possible which means that they will work anything they could no matter what the wages are. As a result, the industries only offer low wages which Americans do not want to work for. Also, there are immigrants all around the world that want to come to America. In fact I recently learned there are approximately 6 immigrants every minute. If immigration continues, it will cause America to become overpopulated. Immigration takes away the job opportunities and causes America to overpopulate.
I am an immigrant too. Overall, I think immigration benefits the United State. When I arrived in America, I graduated my high school in the United States and I learned everything about American cultural values. As time goes on, American values replace my Chinese values. If I go back to China I will tell my friends about the American values. As a result, America is spreading its culture through immigration. Also, when the immigrants work in USA, they are developing the economy of America.
In conclusion, immigrants have both positive and negative impact in America society. Most of the immigrants come to the United States for a better life. Thus, they try to work as quickly as possible.

As a result, when all the jobs are filled with workers, The American economy will grow quickly. Also, immigrants help increasing cultural diversity in America but it also cause over population in America. Immigration could be a seen as positive or negative depending on your perspective. I personally believe, immigrants should come to the United states for better life and more job opportunities.
