The Right To Know,Then To Say No

My Reactions:

According to the “The Right To Know, Then To Say No”, a new legislation, called the Terminal Patients’ Right To Know End- Of- Life Option Act was signed into law last month ago to oppose a 1992 state ballot measure and a 2005 bill that would have permitted physician-assisted suicide, which is currently legal only in Oregon. The act is the first in the nation to provide the information for the terminally ill patients about end- of –life options, including hospice, palliative care, refusing or withdrawing life-prolonging treatments, and making the choice to refuse food and hydration. This act made the writer to end her mother’s life with this manner.

In my opinions, I have placed a high value on life and our life is valuable, but I have never understood why the writer seeks the extrication with this stupid way, let alone the person is her mother. Mother is a person who take care us painstakingly since we are the infant. She devotes her whole life for her children and why her daughter makes this choice to give up. Although the patient is always complain that they want to far away from the disease and the pain, but I think they need more support from the family. We want to encourage them with a positive attitude. Maybe it has a miraculous drug will appear and save her. How we know? If the patients make the decision without enough information and considerate, I think it is not worth to die, because it is the only for a person.

Besides, I think this manner of death is same with the forms of physician- assisted suicide. It is just a difference way to express it. Two of these manners are the terminal ill patients give up their right to survive. One of it is relying on the medicines and another one is stopping of eating and drinking. It teaches the patients to suicide when they face the disease. I think these laws may be canceled because it violates the natural law. In the facts, families and the doctors must mutually cooperate to build up the confident of the patient and accept the medical treatment. What are the functions of the medicine?

This act likes a murder! It teaches the person to flee from the reality. Why we can face our problem even the death bravely? I think everyone has the right to choose, then to say “Yes, I want to live!”

British Aid Worker Shot Dead In Afghanistan 'For Spreading Christianity'

According to the" British aid worker shot dead in Afghanistan 'for spreading Christianity' ", the Taliban insurgents were targeted at the aid workers to restrict their activities in Afghanistan. Recently, the tragedy was occurred once time again. A humanitarian worker of British Based Christian aid organization had been shot dead by two men on a motorbike as she walked alone in the capital, Kabul, at about 8 am local time.

In my opinions, the Taliban insurgents have the conservative religion thoughts that they want to protect the religious integrity and defend everyone who wants to invade their country even the people want to help them. I think it is so cruel to treat them such as the charity workers. Maybe, the Taliban insurgents think that it is honor and glory but I think it just an action of silliness. It is not only can not improve the development of the country, but also bring the catastrophe for the citizens of Afghanistan with the endless turmoil.

Furthermore, the workers of voluntary just focus in the community development, education, and vocational training for people for disabilities. Despite they really want to spread the Christianity, I think they are innocent and need not to die. However, they have been shot dead when they bring along their compassion to help the people. How cruel it is! I think, no matter the Muslim or the Christian, they have their belief to bring the people go toward the way of right and also the citizens have the right or the religious freedom to choose what they want.

I think it is an action of irresponsible. They have neglected the important of a life for the people. It is a serious problem of moral corruption. Sacrifice a person can exchange the stability of the country? Impossible! Or they can try to accept the helping of someone to settle the problems. I think it is better than the present situation.

Indonesia As The New India

My Reactions:

According to the “Indonesia As The New India”, Indonesia breaks away from the fall of the Suharto and leaded by the present president to roll up its terrorist problem and rebuild from the 2004 tsunami. They become a cohesive, robust and democracy Muslim nation. Could Indonesia advance its nation like India and be a star in the stage of international political.

In my opinions, I think Indonesia has the good conditions to develop its nation to be a boomtown of Asian. First, Indonesia has a plenty of paddy field for self-sufficiency. Besides, it has the rich natural sources such as petroleum, coals, coppers, and other metal that can improve its mining industry. All of these natural sources can develop the industry of nation or export to other industrialized countries to earn the money. Furthermore, it can attract more foreigner make their investment here and bring along their technology to develop. The advantages not only can increase the income of nation, but also can learn their skill of professional. All of these can make Indonesia becomes a strong and have the bargaining chips to compare with other Asian countries.

Nowadays, Indonesia is developing its transportation networks actively. This is the first bridge to step forward to the international from the ruin. Indonesia also carries out its tourism industry on the basic of transportation networks. All of these make its economy advanced rapidly. Politics of Indonesia becomes steadily by the way of improve their rule of laws and everyone can get a job and decrease the turmoil of nation. Besides, its per capita income is a third higher.

So, I think Indonesia can rescue from the brink of corruption and becomes the boomtown of Asian in 21st-century.

Malaysia Race Heats Up For Ruling Party Top Posts

My Reactions:

According to the "Malaysia Race Heats Up For Ruling Party Top Posts", Malaysia's politicians aimed at the nominating candidates to compete in the general elections on the March next year after the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdullah Badawi confirms his retirement. It makes confusion for the party and some serious political maneuverings. Besides, the other party's members are competing to fill the 25-member Supreme Council policy-making body.

In my opinions, even though Abdullah is toppled and maybe Najib Razak will take his place, but i think that the result of before and after of general election will not change the present situation politics of Malaysia. Because of them are come from a same party, United Malays National Organization. They have the same target to build up a strong Malay society. Why i talk like that? As we know, Malaysia is a multi-race country, but it just a surface that we see and hear. Actually, Malaysia has the system which is according to the race and assigning the sources of Malaysia.For example, in a university, the Malay students occupying 70 percents in the total amount of student and the others race students just can take 30 percents of total. This is an action wanna be protect the rights of the Malay and it is unfair to the non-Malay relatively. It is the reason to make the citizens not satisfied in this situation. So that, i think the general election is waste because it never improve their flaws.

Besides, the candidates will likely to pledge to reinvigoration party. It just a word that want to console the people and wish more of the people to support them in the general election. This is an action of irresponsibility. How many times the citizens listen about the wonderful word before the election? And when it will be implemented? They compete for the posts and want to service for the citizens, why the problem of laundering money more serious? How cruel it is. For the Malaysian, I think this news just like a scandal! This is a competition don't have any meaning.
