ESSAY TOPIC -revised edition

Hi! I've re-written my essay topic & thesis statement like the following, based on your comments given today -thank you:

Topic: Environmental problems

Thesis statement: This essay will strongly argue that the environmental problems should be tried to solve with much more information on them unlike the situations today, through thinking about Gender Identity Disorder may be caused by Environmental Hormones.

Is it effective? Isn't it vague? (I'm afraid of it... )

Poem

When I look into the future,
There are humans
There are houses
There are moneys
But there aren't any families

It is my view of the future. I think population will decrease, so people will have no choice but to live alone.

A Discussion Question

The author said in his article, "The idea of progress is deeply rooted in American culture(295),"and explains it in the following pages. But I think his argumentation may be too typical.
So, the idea of progress is rooted only in American culture? How about other countries? Other European countries?

Discussion question

Good morning!!

What is the difference between the experiences which Emerson extrapolate and workers' immediate experiences? (P.300 l.31-32)

A Poem

Future Flits Around

Just standing on some path
Running through a barren land
Once upon a time,
We might neglect a future
Though have already sold it out

You may say some flowers
Passed away without noticed
At the last days,
We may reach a rainy noon
Can seen as the heaven here

Just want to hear your voice
Have always been around,
In every single day never returns

Even with little hope now
But to believe in one dream
Should be surely put on
Much further away here

May everybody be born to die
May nobody do you harm

For…
Eyes can see something
With no waver at all
Arms can hold somebody
Still with love tightly

Poem:Hatsumi,Hidekazu,Manabu,Saho

This is our poem.

When we look into the future,
There is appetizer
There is main dish
There is dessert
But there aren't any humans to eat them.

I hope that people can live in harmony with both nature and high-technology in the future..

discussion question

this is Taishi with feeling sleepy.

here is my discussion question.

in p310. line 17
"that there are winners and losers in the process of technological change "
i can understand the winner but, who is loser in progress change?

poem

My poem is here.

When I look into the future
There is a sunny sun shine
There is huge greene
There is no crime
There is no arm
But all of these things are made by machine

discussion question

this is shoko again.
this is my discussion question.
it's quite basic question.....

the article is talking about "progress in america".
and the definition is on p. 295.

Poem

Here is my poem.
When I look into the future
There is war trauma
There is many karma
there is dark dilemma
there is black drama
But there is no mama

poem

my poem is... too poor!!!!!!
And I cannot bear to show you.
Here is my poem.↓

When I look into the future,
There are a lot of things.
Thre should be people,
who have a happy face.

There are a lot of things.
There are few people,
who have a happy face.

When I look into the future,
Where is the nature?
Where is the happy face?

Discussion Question

Why Jefferson revered discovery and invention than science and technology?

poem

When I look into the future
we get anything we want
such as technology
foods
industry
But
we lose human heart
aim of life
communication among family

Which are the better ones, do you think?

Discussion Question

P.299 l.31 "Men of Progress"
What is the result of "men of progress"?

my questions

good evening!!!
there are my discussion questions～♥

1; what are the meanigs of " the progress of the age" and "Men of progress" (299)?
2; wha t is the purpose that the author mentions about the history of the idea of progress?i think, we can understand what the author wants to say by reading only introduction and conclusion...

Discussion Q

Hi! I suppose both Jefferson and Coex supported 'republic' but I still don't have confidence, so if so, I have a discussion Q below.

Both Jefferson and Coex endorsed 'republic' but what is the different way of approaching science and technology?

I think Jefferson approached since and tech from the point of balance of spiritual and material, and on the other hand, Coex approached from the point of political base, law or order. But I'm not sure. How do you think??

my poem☆

good afternoon!!

how about your weekend??
ive been sick again from friday night;
please take of yourself～♡

anyway, there is my poem below,
and i want to discuss this category in 2nd essay.
what a poor poem is this!!!!

When I look into the future
For rich

People can communicate with whoever they want
People can go whenever they want
People can get whatever they want

They can pass across the border
For their enjoyment

When I look into the future
For poor

People cannot eat enough
People cannot sleep with snug shelter
People cannot get well education

They must pass across the border
For their lives

When I look into the future
For all global citizens

People dose not need borders
For their peace

No peace with borders
No borders with peace


i think the borders should be needed for all global citizens in the future.
what do you think??
if you have some comments, please drop★☆★

discussion question

My question,

What is Jefferson's main point of thought?
( What is his philosophy? )

poem

When I look into the future.
There are high-tech machine
There are high-rise building
There are convenient life
But there aren't forest.

I hope to protect rich nature from development.

Poems!!

Hi! This is my poems.
This activity is fun, isn't it?


When I look into the future
We get quite high technology
We don't have to go outside to do shopping
to work
to study
to travel
and to communicate with people
But we lose the precious place to do face-to-face communication

I think if only efficient technology will progress, we might lose human activity, like face-to-face communication, community,,,, and we are already able to communicate without meeting directly...maybe We will be able to do anything on virtual world.. but I don't hope such a world.

When I look into the future
We get high living standard
We have a lot of money and useful technology
Our material needs are always satisfied
But our heart is always lonely

I supposed that future is wealthness in the material point here.

but as we can see even now, only material wealthness might not satisfy our whole mind. I wanted express this in poem.

Bye~!!

Discussion question

Page 301, line 35
Awed by the experience, Adams reported thet he " began to feel the forty foot dynamos as a moral force, much as the early Christians felt theCross."
I cannot make sense this sentence.

When I look into the fiture

There are flowers
