In-class Writing 2

We know the prejudice is between different ethnic and racial groups in the society. Maybe, some kinds of the prejudice are created by the people before. So now if the society’s goal is to reduce the prejudice, the most important step is improving the education, especially the education for the next generation. If we could tell our children the truth not the prejudice, then I think in the next ten or twenty years the prejudice could be reduced. In addition, the media organization is playing a very important role in this society.  People hear the news from the different kinds of media, such as TV, internet, radio and newspaper. All of the news will affect the relationship between the different classes or groups. So the people who work for media organizations have the responsibility for their news. The wrong news could affect people’s mind that maybe lead to some social problems and prejudice.

Of course, to reduce prejudice for the whole society is very necessary. There are many different ways to realize this goal. At first, in order to finally reduce the prejudice, we have to think about ourselves deeply. Maybe we could find the answers in our hearts.

Who are today’s immigrants?

Today’s immigrants aren’t just come from Europe. All of them have various backgrouds all over the world. Now the new immigrants always bring their dream with themselves and try up to live up to their ideals in America. When they came to U.S., most of them will live with people who have the same culture or from same countriy.

Answer the 2nd question.

2. This is really a long and difficult journey for every European immigrant. From this photograph, you could see so many people are full of the ship. It looks like no more space for only one cat. Absolutely, there is no rooms for these immigrants so they have to stand on the first floor. You can image how hard they live together in the same ship when they across the Atlantic to United Stats.  Maybe they don’t have enough food and water. On the other hand, they have to face the terrible weather.There are still many smiles on the people’s face because the dreams are always in their hearts. They want to start their new life in the United Stats. Finally, most of them arrived American safely and made an effort to realize their dreams!

The contents of those charts.

1st.

This chart has shown us that the change of American population by age groups in 1950-2050. In just half of century, the popultaion of old people in U.S. has from eight percentiles risen to twenty percentiles in whole citizens. Especailly between 2000 and 2050, the grow rate of older people was up to eight percentiles. So the American society has become more and more astogeny.

2nd.

Obviously, according to this chart we could see there is a totally different situation of heath care between rich countries and poor countries. The most of people who live in poor countries could not have safe water and sanitation. In every year,  the expense of health care for each person in rich countries is amazing more than 100 times as much as poor countries. At the same time, in the poor countries they don’t have enough doctors and up to twelve percentiles kids will be died just before 5 years old!

Reading 4 Summary, Edited.

The AIDS is an unusual disease and it has appeared before the early 1980s in America. At first the American government didn’t want to talk about this health problem because it included individual privacy. Even in situation like this, some medical scientists still began to research this disease and finally they found that this disease was transmitted through blood-to-blood contact with another patient. From 1984 to 1989, a lot of AIDS patients who were in different social groups have been found in the United States. All of the statistical data from different countries have been proved that this disease has really become a global health problem. In order to find the answer to this communicable disease, the Western nations and American government have used a lot of manpower and materials but it still very hard to find a complete answer to HIV/AIDS. It’s very hard to popularize the very expensive treatment of HIV/AIDS in the developing countries because their week health care systems and economies. Most of the people shied away from this problem because they didn’t think it’s dangerous for them and they didn’t like to talk about sexual behavior openly. So there are two effects according to people’s attitude, one is people don’t pay enough attention to the safe of their own sexual behavior, another is this attitude made doctors more difficult to find the patients early.
