Practising arguments and counter arguments

Today in the first class, Ian gave the exercise gow to write argrument and conter sentencs.
So I chose to rewrite number 5 and 8 at page41.

5) 'University education should be free for all' To what extent do you agree with this statement?

It is widely believed that education is a universal right and that universities should therefore be open to all those who wish to undertake higer education studies. On the other hand, if the country has too many students, so universities cannot get all of students without tehm paying and universities should selected the students who have high enough level to study in.

8) ' The danger of the Internet are greater than the benefits it brings.' To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Although many people say that there are risks involved in using the internet, bit although an internet is useful for students and people who would like to search the acknowlege and finds benefit information, futhermore they can feel comfortable and realx in the same times with internet entertainment such as watching movie and listening radio or music. The user should use an internet in correct way.

Check academic words in Introdection

File produced at level 10

In ancient time, media didn't have a variety kinds of media ,for example television, radio and internet. People could only achieved the news and information from black and white television or listened voice drama and music from radio.
In the recent time medias are becoming influenced for new generations due to all of them can select what kinds of media they want to access. It is widely believed that dangerous behaviour are influenced from the present media. The number of people consider that some program of media both of television and internet are the sample of violent behaviour for the new generations. In 2007, in United State; students in the Virginia Tech university were shot by the gunman in the university, most people and policemen believed that the gunman had influenced from the movies which he had watched.
Whereas in this time medias has affected with people and youths, so the family would like to live in a safety world without influenced by the media, how the government and people can solve the problem in order to we can live in the safety media.

From the result, I know by myself I should more improve in writing and use academic words as much as I can. Some sentences were not clarify and reader didn't understand what did it mean.

Evaluate myself after seminar

After the seminar, I needed to evaluate what level i should to improve....

First of all, I needed to improve speaking skill because sometimes my colleagues didn't understand what did I say and I should to speak and give some opinions as much as I can, one of my classmate told me that I should speack much more in the classroom and communicated with another friends during the break. A day before seminar I prepared the information and resources from the newspaper and an internet, it helped me alot because I could reference and gave the accurate details and I though that I gave the clarify example, reasons and support the evidence.
In some sentences I used wrong grammar and arranged some words wrong, so I needed to read and practice more than usual.

CCTV and DNA database case


During this week in the class is talking about the sceiece technology topic, therefore, I would like to give the example of technology science case.

Since May,2007 the big head news on every newspapers were a daughter in McCanns falimly has been disappeared from the resort during their holidays. Until now the dectectives and policemen couldn't find the accurate evidence and criminal even they have been finding the evidence by science technology by CCTV and DNA data base.

First of all the detectives found the evidence by CCTV how the girl was disappeared from the room, had she been murder or kidnapping. After that the police checked DNA from her parents and compared with the evidences. Once a time Kate McCanns was accused that she killed her daughter but the DNA from evidence showns that she was innocent. Then all of detectives and police needed to find a new evidence around the suspect area and people.

Today headline on Metro newspaper has a new deatils about McCans case. From CCTV in Amsterdam, one girl showed on the screen looked like Madeleine McCaan ans also she called her name Maddie. So the police can get a new evidence from CCTV


It indicates that science technology has more useful for police ans detective, some people think that if the government install CCTV around the city even tube station, it will infringe the private life but in the opposit way the government concerns citizens safe life not focus on privacy.

In this case it can shows CCTV is handful for the police can get more evidence to find the pity girl who has been lost from parents.

Feedback in seminar

On Tuesday 5 August, 2008 at Ian class we had a seminar about CCTV and survillance.

We were talking about technology tagging, majority of people agreed that if person who are out on ex-convict, they dont need to put technology tagging because we believe that they are humans to us so the police don't need to put the tagging on criminal. As and alernative, the police can do frequent check up on the progress of he subjects.

CCTV( closed circuit television) in the bbc news said thathome CCTV can reduce the criminal activities. We can conclude that we prefer to have more CCTV placed in England because citizens need more safety in life and in public. Some people don't agree to have more CCTV due to the reason that hey need more private life and don't need somebody to track and look at them all the times. United Kingdom is popular and well known in CCV.

Finger print is accurate to identify criminal activities because such person has a unique finger and footprint. Each person has a different idea in which their importance differ.
5 people agreed that CCTV is the most important because CCTV operates 24 hours. Police can catch the criminal activities through CCTV. The police can also observe suspect situation, they can help and find the solutions immediately.
DNA database is suitable for serious criminal such as kiddnaping or rape criminal.
The police can identify the unique evidence such as hair or skin can proof everything.

Regarding the finger print, all of us decided that finger print is useful for future.
Since 28 April 2008, in UK need the application's finger print because they need to recognise personal detail in order to protect the criminal.

I think that in the future technology will develop and I hope the criminal will decrease and become peaceful as well.

Fighting crime with science seminar


On Friday 1 August,2008

We had a lecture about fight crime with science, we got more knowledge about how to proof the evidences from the murder or the person who done a mistake.
the policemen have a lot of sciences, materials and chemicals to find the evidence.
I’ve got the technical of police to find the evidences

1. DNA stand for Deoxyribonucleic acid, at the present time the police find the evidence department use DNA to find the evidence from the murder.
and it is surely to specific the murder because nobody has the same DNA except twin and parents. They can check from skins, blood and hair.

2. Footprint: are typically used by the prosecution to prove an individual committed a crime, or at least were present at the scene of a crime and could have committed it. Footprints are not as unique as a fingerprint or DNA evidence, but under the right circumstances, they can be enough for a criminal conviction. When the prosecution looks at a footprint as evidence of criminal activity. in the lib, I saw from the video lecture, the chemical use the black paper and then push the brush on the black paper and turn it back, during painting it use the chemical to make the foot mark appear after that wait time about 1 minute so the foot mark will appear on the paper.

3. CCTV (Closed-circuit television)is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific, limited set of monitors. In London has CCTV more than 4000 for looking around the city even on the road and tube stations. In each day our face are shown on the CCTV about 3000 times per day, it shows that in the city; everywhere has CCTV for look and protect the criminal and also it can identify the murder as well

4. Eyes Scan; it use in the building before enter in, id the eyes are not recognize by the memory, the scanner will reject immediately, I think it is good to protect the stranger and criminal because it can protect at the firs time.
During I was seeing the video lecture, I realized that every process in the lab for finding a evidence is carefully and seriously in order to correctly specific the murder
