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

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.

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.

Interesting Info on Anabolic Steroid Legality in Japan

English Reports

Interesting Info on Anabolic Steroid Legality in Japan
Japan carries a strict attitude when it comes to eliminating almost every substance on the US scheduled list of drugs. But not with anabolic steroids.
In Japan, private ownership and use of anabolic steroids is permitted by law. But the use of anabolic steroids is illegal in the regulations of many sports during Olympics. There was never been a case of Japanese athlete being caught in Olympics using prohibited drugs. Therefore, it is believed that the rate of steroid use in Japan is lower compared to other countries.
Since the ownership of steroids is authorized by law, there are users of steroids who purchase online. Data about comprehensive medicinal figures and steroid series are also available on the internet but the accuracy of these contents cannot certainly provide a formal assurance.
You can bring into Japan the AAS available for a two-month-supply. The catch is that you are not allowed to bring medical syringes but if you can find them in local areas, you are not restrained to stick away.

Impact of Twitter

English Reports

Take a sip of tea, sit relaxed on chair and think for a while how far Twitter has come since its release. It is difficult to conclude your impressions in a single day without referencing internet, TV or radio stations.

If you wanted to find some old friends through internet then search on “FACEBOOK”

If you want to search any information on any of the keywords then “GOOGLE” it

If you wanted to share your random thoughts with the world or you wanted to deliver some interesting news to the world then “TWEET” it.

This social networking site has more than one million active users today. You would be shocked to know that almost half of them logging in everyday. Twitter has changed the way how news can be delivered or shared with the people.

We are not saying that Twitter is the only social networking Company across the world but it has certainly reached a level that cannot be attained by everyone.

食品安全

不久前，听了一场讲座，是关于现在社会上存在的食品安全问题。上到国家主席，下到家家户户，食品是我们的生活依赖，与我们息息相关，不管是近段时间闹的沸沸扬扬的“僵尸肉”，还是曾经的毒奶粉，地沟油事件，都让人为之震惊并陷入恐慌。

image006

主讲教授这样说，食品安全社会关注度高，舆论燃点低，一旦出问题，很容易引起公众恐慌，甚至酿成群体性事件。都说病从口入，食品安全事件一起接着一起，怎么能让人安心。面对这个问题，我们期盼政府出台强有力的政策，把这种现象镇压下来，当法律真正可以发挥它的作用，让商家意识到违法的成本远远高于所能获得的利润的时候才能真正发挥作用。当然，仅靠政府的力量远远不够，正是商家们对别人的生命的轻视，才敢这样猖狂地造假，因此诚信教育尤为重要，我们每个人都应该把诚信二字牢记于心，对人诚恳，才会有回报。

这场为时不长的演讲让我感触颇多，我感受到自己力量的薄弱。“民以食为天”，食以安为先，食品是我们人类赖以生存的基本保障，是我们生活中必需品。我们都应该树立起安全意识，让我们生活的这个社会更加和谐。

钢琴师 瓦迪斯瓦夫•席皮尔曼

世界, 社会

我喜欢阅读那些根据事实改编的书，尤其是那些和战争相关的书。事实上，真是这些书告诉我们人类在面临困难的时候，行为上会有那些变化。这些故事都展示了人形的勇气和暴虐。

在这些书中，《钢琴家》给我留下了深刻的印象。这本书讲述了一位钢琴家如何在大屠杀下幸存下来。

瓦迪斯瓦夫·席皮尔曼和他的家人（包括他的父亲，母亲，2个姐妹和2个兄弟）一起住在波兰的首都华沙。瓦迪斯瓦夫是波兰广播站的一名钢琴家。当德国入侵波兰的时候，德国人给犹太人制定了很多的制度。犹太人不能做火车旅行。他们必须上交所有的钱和不动产，并且他们还要带臂章来表明自己犹太人的身份。

这种种族摧残一直持续到犹太人被抓进集中营来接受所谓的“社会教育”。

犹太人被贴上人类害虫的标签，并且德国人认为犹太人都有病，所以犹太人到单独的犹太人区生活。

在犹太人区，犹太人面临着难以想象的暴行。一些人没有做错任何事情就被射杀，还有一些人被送到集中营。

在犹太人区，瓦迪斯瓦夫失去了他的家人，并且之后他再也没有见过他的家人。这个故事告诉我们犹太人是如何在如此可怕的条件下求生的。这本书比根据这部小说改编的奥斯卡获奖电影更发人深省。

Impacts of Globalization on Asian Developing Economies

Developing countries in Asia come after the influence of Taiwan and South Korea to economic growth. The “developmental state model” has extended over a large area of Southeast Asia and China with some changes made. Even though it is labeled that these Asian countries have the same strong authoritarian system like Taiwan and Korea, it is seldom known that the outward circumstance they experienced in the 1990s was not similar from 1960s.

The most important major change ten years ago was globalization which gave extreme influence on the policies of nation, financial status and the development of economic institution. As a result, the action and process of the growth of state model for the second line NICs (newly industrializing countries are issues to different outcome caused by globalization.

During the year 1997, when Asia experienced a financial difficulty, it became an opportunity to take another assessment to the model of the state’s development. The financial crisis serves as attest of globalization to the model and the various effect of financial instability on East Asian developing countries emphasize that the globalization might give them different challenges and the cause of different outcomes, given that they all acquire the developmental state model.

As an advance messenger of industrialization, the challenges that Taiwan and Korea encountered in coping with globalization may serve as a lesson learned for other developing countries in Asia.

Human Trafficking in Asia

English Reports

Human Trafficking in Asia

Ma Yuge

Behind the economic success of developing countries in Asia lurks many unresolved social issues. One of the most serious social issues facing the world today is human trafficking, particularly that entailing force labor and sexual abuse. This is probably the most terrible of all human rights violations. Human trafficking knows no limits in terms of age and gender, and victims are often from low-income or otherwise helpless families.

Unfortunately, some cases of human trafficking appear to be taken for granted because of the extreme difficulty in addressing the problem and punishing the culprits. And whenever victims are rescued by the authorities, the cause is usually assigned to financial problems. Here the sad reality is that some are directly given to human traffickers by their guardians in exchange for money. As a result, they end up completely destroyed both physically and psychologically, having lost their confidence and self-worth and thus becoming hopeless. This is why many victims have difficulty getting back to a normal life.

There are also victims who are relegated to a life of slave labor and no pay. Most such victims also come from poor families in rural areas, but they generally start wishing to earn a lot of money to support their families, thereby taking the risk to work away from their home and even in a foreign country. Here a lack of education and awareness plays a role. Because many cannot evaluate the risks appropriately as a result of their lack of education and understanding, they may jump at an “opportunity” that often turns out to be a trap. And many times young people are lured into forced labor because of naive expectations, leading to child labor in many poor countries in Asia. Because they lack voice, they are likely to be the worst victims of human trafficking and become handicapped.

It is certainly alarming how human trafficking has become such a serious problem in society today, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds. Human trafficking is a critical social issue in Asia, and the weight of its consequences must be borne by not only the victims but also the rest of society as well. Although much effort is being made to address this issue, more is clearly needed.
