该不该扶摔伤老人？

社会

“碰瓷”一词来源于北方方言，泛指一些投机取巧，敲诈勒索的人。近几年，不少新闻都报道八旬老人故意摔伤讹诈好心救助之人。明明是一件善举，却被一些险恶用心的人利用，造成十分恶劣的社会影响。如今，看到一位老人摔倒在地，你是扶还是不扶？
自古以来，尊老爱幼是中华名族的美好品德。从上幼儿园的时候，老师就告诉我们：“赠人玫瑰，手留余香”，并教导我们主动给老人让座，主动去帮助那些需要帮助的人。但是，近些年报导的新闻却给我们传达这样一个信息：“好人没有好报”。当我们热心去帮助那些需要帮助的老人时，他们却利用我们的善心，反过来讹诈我们。因此很多人都会在面临这种情况时，会怀疑被需要帮助人的动因，从而不敢主动上去帮助他人。

对于扶不扶这个问题，不同的人有不同的看法，我认为，不论什么情况下，我们还是应该主动去帮助那些需要帮助的人。一方面，并不是每一个需要帮助的人都不坏好心，我们不能因为个别少数的现象就对真个社会的“真善美”产生质疑。如果老人真的是摔倒需要帮助，而我们仅仅因为害怕被敲诈就不去帮别人，这肯定是不对的。另外一方面，即使存在对方故意敲诈勒索的情况，现在很多公共场合都有摄像头，因此，那些有险恶用心的人也没有办法撒谎。所以我们可以放心大胆的去帮助别人，无论对方是否真的需要帮助。

北京市石景山区北师大励耘实验中学高二年级 马思祺

 

神秘消失的玛雅文明与古代中国的推背图都向世人揭露了一个震惊世界的信息，人类文明经过数千年的进化将在2012年被毁灭。这是真实的诅咒，还是虚假的阴谋？如果玛雅与古代中国的预言成真，那么面对全人类的是天灾、地乱，还是人祸？这一切都无从得知。因为现在是公元2010年，人类是无法预先知道未来的情况的。

不过这么好的题材，聪明的美国电影人是不会放过的，于是由美国著名导演罗兰·艾默里奇执导的电影《2012》在公元2009年11月从北美向亚洲袭来。在电影《2012》疯狂吸金的同时，也向观众传达了一个信息：如果再不保护我们的地球，“2012”不远了。好像是商量好了一样，2009年第一吸金电影《阿凡达》也有同样的主题：人类的家园——地球，因为人类的破坏而几乎面临支离破碎的景象……这最吸金的两部电影好像在表达着，无论人类科技多么发达，地球家园的分崩离析对于人类来说肯定有百害而无一利，真到那时，无家可归的地球人将何去何从？

宇宙虽大，何处是我家？当人类意识到时，恐怕为时已晚了。根据科学家们的观测，人类最有可能居住的地方远在两万光年以外，以目前的技术，2212年都不一定能造得出那么先进的飞船。更别说太阳的辐射、大爆炸尘埃、食物的供给等问题，我想2012年的天灾真的到来时，我们可能哪儿也去不了。与其引颈就戮，不如现在就改造地球。我此话一出，他人必然笑道：“怎么改造？拿什么改造？2012年的世界末日连联合国都不能解决，你上嘴唇一碰下嘴唇说句改造就能解决得了？更何况今年世界各地灾难如雨后春笋一个接着一个。地震、海啸、泥石流、冰暴、森林大火、洪水、矿难等等，就光一个墨西哥湾漏油事件就使数十里海域风吹无浪、水波不兴，百万水族生灵死于非命。这些还只是‘大餐’前的‘开味甜点’，‘开味甜点’尚且吃不消，你一句改造就能席卷整桌‘大餐’？”

在此，我无言以对，我只能说：“只有改造地球才是希望和信仰，虽然2012年地球不一定会毁灭，但是如果人类再自掘坟墓，破坏自然，天罚迟早会到来。一个2012年远去了，那么2013呢？2014呢？我们只有一个地球，她是我们生存的地方，是她养育了我们。人只有在失去时，才懂得珍惜。如果你能感受到2013年拂面的轻风、霏霏的小雨、充满生机的小草、绚烂的朝阳与晚霞，你一定会感动，既使你曾经心如死水，波澜不惊。”

千万别等到2013年才知道珍惜，如果你依然冥顽不化，我只有一句话：“2011年快到了，2012年还会远吗？”

食品健康

社会

最近有新闻爆料，大批二战时期的战争储备物资流入中国市场。其中，更有大批量的二战时候的冷冻肉（俗称僵尸肉）流入中国，引发中国市民的担忧。从前几年的地沟油，到转基因玉米再到最近的僵尸肉，食品安全关系到广大人民群众的身体健康，甚至生命安全，因此食品安全一直是中国百姓大热议话题。同样的，食品安全也代表了一个政府和国家的形象问题，因此，政府出台了很多政策和法规，但是食品安全问题一直都屡禁不止。我认为主要原因有以下几点：

一、政府监管力度不够。

无论是地沟油还是僵尸肉，如果当局政府能加大监管力度，那么那些不法分子也就无机可乘，自然，食品安全也就可以减轻许多。其实，中国出台许多和食品相关的法律制度和规范，但是，由于各部门在执行上级领导的规定或者执行法规时却大打折扣，导致许多不法分子藐视法律，敢于违背法律底线，因此，食品安全问题频发。

二、诚信道德的缺失。

做生意以“诚”为本，消费者和商家的交易是建立在诚信的基础上。但是，如今，不少商家在市场利益的诱惑下，违背了公平交易原则，甚至违背了道德底线。在不少火锅店，许多不良商家将猪血勾兑做成鸭血出售，或者将鸭脂肪加入牛肉或者猪肉里面来增加自己的利润。

中国经济在过去的几十年里取得辉煌的进步，人民群众的包裹也越来越饱满，但是，不少商家挣得却是昧良心的黑心钱。在这个物欲横流的社会，能坚守城市守信原则实在难能可贵。

明星吸毒

社会

2014年，娱乐圈的不少明星都因吸毒被抓，从全民小鲜肉柯震东，到星二代房祖名，甚至连编剧宁财神也都纷纷因为吸毒被抓。明星，作为公众人物，他们享有更多的社会资源，也会对社会造成更大的影响，因此，明星吸毒相比其他人吸毒会对社会造成更加恶劣的影响。明星吸毒造成的负面影响有以下几点：

  • 作为吸毒者，无论是明星还是其他人，吸毒无疑都对自己的身体和心灵造成重大创伤。相比那些不吸毒的人，吸毒者会出现精神涣散，抵抗力下降，早衰等症状。在心灵上，他们也被毒品控制，因为毒瘾，有时会为了吸食毒品，做出许多违背法律和道德底线的事情。
  • 明星吸毒同样使自己的家人承担痛苦和责任，甚至要忍受其他人的嘲笑和谩骂。以星二代房祖名为例，因为自己吸毒的错误做法，作为禁毒大使的父亲成龙也要公开向群众道歉，忍受群众对自己的嘲笑。
  • 误导青少年竖立错误的价值观和社会观。对于明星来说，他们的粉丝群众主要以青少年为主。相比成年人，青少年由于缺乏社会经验和一定的辨识能力，因此，他们十分容易被错误的信息误导。尤其当自己的偶像做出一个像吸毒一样的非法行为时，青少年因为对偶像的崇拜之情，爱屋及乌，会产生错误的观点，认为这些违法的行为是可以接纳的，或者说类似吸毒这样的违法行为是流行的代表，因此许多青少年会盲目向自己的偶像学习，最终走向错误的人生道路。

Pop Tech! – Seeing is believing!

English Reports, 世界, 科技

Technology has advanced much through the ages and adapted loads to the current trends. With new inventions constantly being produced to satisfy the fickle tastes of the public, something as fundamental as vision has thus been revolutionised as well. Here are some examples of how innovation has changed the way we see things:

Instagram sunglasses:

With the rise of filter usage for photo sharing on social media, this new invention known as the Instagram sunglasses are basically a pair of shades that are marketed on providing real-life filters, like the Valencia effect on Instagram. Though it has been criticised for being just a pair of boring brown tinted glasses, its popularity can easily be seen from the way it was about to reach over 1,000% of its pre-planned crowd source funding!

Night vision contact lenses:

How these contact lenses work is via Graphene – a type of carbon that reacts to photons, that is placed within the lens. As such, dark images brighten up instantly, especially in low light areas. This makes the night vision contact lenses a perfect item to use by party-goers having a late night out. Why? You can easily gauge the attractiveness of others in the clubs under the low light too! The result? No more ugly hook ups!

Virtual Omni:

From the virtual shot function of the Galaxy S6, to Samsung 3D glasses, virtual reality systems are coming into play and in trend these days. The Virtual Omni is a system that has remodelled the idea of screens everywhere. With the aid of Oculus Rift and Sixense STEM, a system that tracks body movement, people can now be fully submerged into a separate world. Imagine being able to follow the wanderlust trend of touring the world in full panoramic view – all without the need to suffer agonizing crowds or long distance travel. The system has also successfully impinged upon the gaming industry and this gives a whole new meaning to first person shooter games. If you recall those moments where you merely relied on your fingers to press the keys so your characters could duck in when they encounter danger, well those reflexes would now have to include your whole body too!

Urbanization in China

English Reports

China has always boasted that the basic labor forces are the most respected and greatest people in the society, which was actually favored and supported from around the 1960s to the 1980s. Yet, as the society becomes globalized and modernized, the so called greatest labor forces are at the risk of being put aside by the society and paid much less attention than other work forces. They usually make the most efforts physically to build the society but enjoy relatively basic or even poor levels of social welfare and financial income as a whole.

Migrate workers, for instance, are among the most representative in this growing trend. They spend more than a third of their life making contributions to the community by experiencing working in different fields and industries, ending up being not eligible to reside legally in these crowded metropolis. Getting an official identity in these big cities has become so important while so difficult that they have been categorized by the local people as customary simple visitors to the cities that are vaguely focused on. Without legal identity to live in the big cities, even if they have helped urbanize the cities to the largest extent, they have to face immense troubles in their daily life, posing significant threats to their own quality of life and the future of their offspring.

Having reached the retirement age, these migrate workers can only rely on their pension to survive if they didn’t manage to accumulate enough wealth in the earlier stages of their life. For the luckiest groups of people, they choose to live in the suburbs of the cities or even in cities around to live peacefully and relatively without financial constraints and concerns for the rest of their life. Nevertheless, things do not turn out this way for the majority of these disadvantaged groups of people. To be specific, they face the problem of not enjoying legal medical coverage over their physical problems as they age since they are not legal residents in the cities. Their future generations don’t have access to tertiary education as those of local people even if they have worked hard enough to build the cities for their life.

In conclusion, while it has to be admitted that admissions and tickets available for people to be legal residents to live in big cities are limited and cannot be granted to each individual, local authorities should try to find a balance to help these people get the most out of their contributions, ensuring a sustainable and fair social system.

Case International Relations Through International Trade

English Reports

International trade allows countries to expand their markets and access goods and services that otherwise may not have been available domestically. As a result of international trade, the market is more competitive. This ultimately results in more competitive pricing and brings a cheaper product home to the consumer. International trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries. Trading globally gives consumers and countries the opportunity to be exposed to goods and services not available in their own countries, or more expensive domestically. This not only avoids the inflated prices of some companies, but also makes companies in the world competitive, thereby promoting the development of the world. Although many people think that this is unfavorable for some small countries, the survival law of this world itself It is not easy, competition is the fastest way to promote the development of social science and technology. The existence of some patents also better protects the safety of major enterprise products. After all, international trade is about transparency and openness, so that not only some state officials cannot obtain illegal benefits from it, but also ensures the survival of some small and medium-sized enterprises with strong innovation. And some technologies are also used as diplomatic means by major countries, and in order to maintain their advantages in this field, there will always be a sense of crisis, which is also a major condition for social progress. Each country has its own advantages and maintains the balance of all countries in the world.

Vietnam may decriminalize drug use

Vietnam may decriminalize drug use

The National Assembly of Vietnam is taking everything into account to cease by legislation to treat drug use as illegal, lowering the private use of illegal drugs from a lawbreaker to an executive offense. The chairwoman of the assembly’s Committee on Social Affairs, Thi Mai mentioned her council had suggested discarding Article 199 of the Criminal Code which promotes two-year-imprisonment of for those who found guilty of illegal drugs. The use of illegal drugs would still be a serious illegal act, subject to death penalty.

image008

Vietnam conveys illegal drug dependency through obligatory drug detoxification institutions, where drug addicts are confined for about two years and five years when it comes to few institutions. The officers in local government keep their list of those drug addicts in their regions and deliver cases to the detoxification institutions at their preference.

The government promotes support groups in the community for previous drug dependents; however, it is only available in Hanoi.

Heroin drugs are the very well-known recreational drug in Vietnam which causes the country to spread HIV because of the shared syringes.

When it comes to prohibiting the illegal drugs in the market, Vietnam has firm laws against it. During the year 2007, eighty five people were convicted a death penalty because of illegal drugs and additional nine illegal drug addicts for the following year.

Mai who is the officer of National Assembly said that the program to failed to completely remove illegal drug operations.

Health Implications of Dirty Drinking Water

English Reports

The human body contains 70% water, which is present within every single cell in the body. Water is an essential building block for all organisms. However, not everybody is fortunate enough to have access to clean water. Children in developing countries die due to either lack of access to water or drinking contaminated water. According to UNICEF, 760,000 children died in 2011 along from consuming contaminated water. And according to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, 768 million people live on unimproved water, a type of water containing high levels of pathogens and thus unsafe for drinking.

Risk factors in normal childhood include poor water, sanitation, and hygiene. A major health implication of drinking dirty water is contracting diarrheal diseases such as cholera and environmental enteropathy. Both chronic diarrhea and enteropathy cause stunted growth, both physical and mental, due to poor nutrition absorption, and therefore they are detrimental to young children. Environmental enteropathy leads to chronic anemia and growth failure in children. Therefore, children not just experience stunted growth and diarrhea but also face iron deficiency. Further, children drinking contaminated water are exposed to roundworm, hookworm, lymphatic filariasis, Hepatitis A, B, E and F, jaundice, and typhoid, some of which are lethal to children.

Some key solutions to this urgent problem include piped water, privatized water supply, and in-house water treatment, but these are difficult to achieve in developing countries, the countries that need such solutions the most. In this regard, there is an urgent need to come with cheap but effective solutions to keep children away from dirty drinking water.
