The city council recently passed a bill that bans charity groups from providing food to homeless people in downtown parks. On April 4, the police arrested Eric Montanez, a 22-year-old volunteer, for handing bread and soups to hungry people. They said that they enacted the law in response to complaints from residents and businesses. They argued the presence of readily available food will bring more homeless people into their community, and that they’ll have to raise taxes to provide affordable housing and public assistance and shelters. But volunteers are criticizing the law, calling the measure inhumane. They say, “Food is a human right, not a commodity. They’re not trying to find a solution to why these people are out there.”

I’m a high school student. I love summer vacation. It’s fun and easygoing. But that’s the problem. Many students joke about ‘forgetting everything’ over the summer. Sadly, this is mostly true. We forget a lot of stuff we’re taught during the year. Moreover, students are overworked during the semester. My average work week is about thirty-four hours, and I spend at least fifteen hours for homework, studying, and major projects. Things would be easier if we studied during the summer. Students’ daily workload would be reduced if their normal work were spread over the full year.

Why do people think children need to work the same way as adults do? The years between six and eighteen are the time when a child should be a child. Think about things like Little League baseball and family vacations. These are the things we grew up with. Imagine a full year of school without summer vacation. Children would be in the classroom nearly as many hours, as perhaps even more than, we are working. And then, they would be working an additional hour or so every night on homework. Without breaks, they would be stressed-out. I am worried about the consequences.

 On January 20, Barack Obama claimed his place in history as America’s first black president before a jubilant crowd of more than a million in Washington D.C. The presidency passed to Obama from George W. Bush at noon and Obama thanked Bush for his service as president. It was an extraordinary day in the life of America and a day of high spirits. People of all colors and ages welcomed the new president with new hopes and wishes. Change has finally come to America! Wearing a navy suit and red tie, the 44th U.S. president repeated the oath of office, putting his hand on the same Bible used by President Abraham Lincoln. On the inaugural parade route, Obama and his wife Michelle walked a few blocks, waving to cheering crowds under the watchful eyes of security agents.  “Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America,” Obama said in his inaugural address. “We gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. We will overcome our serious economic and international challenges. We are ready to lead once more.” His inspirational inaugural address only briefly mentioned a series of pledges from his presidential campaign: to get the U.S. out of Iraq, stabilize Afghanistan, create jobs, boost the use of alternative energy, address climate change, transform schools, manage government spending wisely and oversee a more bipartisan, and less-divisive approach to policy-making. As Obama took office in a time of economic crisis, with some 11 million people now out of work, he said he will focus his energy on reviving the economy. He placed blame for the recent economic collapse not just on greed and irresponsibility on the part of some but also on the inability or unwillingness of everyone to move the country beyond an industrial-based economy.  “What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly,” Obama said. His entrance to the White House was cheered all around the world as a sign that America will be more embracing and more open to change. “With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come,” Obama said. |

TVXQ Captivates Japan
What’s there to say about TVXQ? Not much. They don’t need any explanation. They are dominating the music scene in Korea, and there is no boy band that can compete. Well, this will most likely be the situation for them in Japan as well. The K-pop group’s latest Japanese single Mirotic became the Gold seller of the year in 2008. The Recording Industry Association of Japan analyzes annual album sales and certifies performers with different titles. Million goes to a record that sells over 1 million copies. Platinum goes to a record with 250,000 sales. And Gold is given for 100,000 sales.
Although TVXQ placed third on the certificate, it is quite an achievement for a Korean group. Million sellers for 2008 went to seven albums by Japanese superstars such as Hikaru Utada and Anmie Amuro.
You can say that TVXQ is now bumping shoulders with Japan’s top-notch. In September of 2008, Mirotic was released as TVXQ’s fourth album. In 103 days, the album sold over 500,000 copies. Let’s hope for TVXQ’s success in Japan. Good work guys!

Divorce rates have been rising in many countries around the world. According to recent research, divorce has different kinds of negative impact on our planet including a higher demand for resources and a lower rate of efficiency in the use of resources. Divorce leads to smaller average household sizes, which results in a larger number of total households and thus a greater demand for energy, water, and land. In addition, a divorced person uses more resources compared with a married person. A married household uses resources more efficiently.

The fashion industry is not to blame for eating disorders. Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses and are not simply caused by models. And thin models are needed for a reason. They have the best figure to present a designer’s work and they are paid for that. Therefore, we should not pass rules and laws against thin models working. They are grown women who are capable of making their own decisions about their bodies and weight. Modeling has been a dream they have followed for years. Should we punish anyone who is single-minded in pursuing their ambitions?

Many models are under pressure from agents and designers to be thin. So, many of them develop eating disorders. Recently, several models have died as a result of eating disorders. Others turn to drugs in order to fight their body’s natural desire for food. In addition, many girls idolize models and feel the need to mirror their thinness. Models of a very low weight are setting bad examples for these girls and should be responsible for the increasing number of girls with eating disorders. Therefore, we should press fashion industry not to employ very skinny models. Setting a minimum weight limit for models would be a great way.

How does deflation harm the economy?
During a deflation, people spend less, which slows down economic growth.
January 20, 2009 | ||||||||
In the midst of a global economic downturn, that word is most likely to be “deflation.” This word refers to a continuous decrease in the prices of products and services. It’s the opposite of inflation, which means that the general price of products and services will rise.
It sounds like you can save money because goods are cheaper. This is an understandable response. Korea has a lot of experience with inflation. But deflation is relatively new to us. However, if prices go down steadily over a prolonged period, the economy can suffer. Deflation is just as harmful as inflation. Think of it this way: Both high and low blood pressure are bad for your health. Why is deflation a danger to the economy? Deflation over a long period can lead to a catastrophe like the Great Depression that started in 1929 in the United States. This event was the most serious economic depression in the 20th century. If prices persistently go down, what will happen? First, consumers will not want to buy any products. They will wait because they think prices will go down even more. If products don’t sell and are left to pile up in storage, companies eventually reduce production. If this happens, companies will need fewer employees and will eventually fire staff, which will raise the rate of unemployment. If the number of people who are unemployed keeps going up, the average income in households will decrease, which will make people tighten up their wallets even more. This will once again lead to people buying less and a further fall in prices. In short, with this deflationary downturn, the economy will shrink and eventually deteriorate. If product prices fall, the value of money goes up. In contrast, inflation destroys the value of money. For example, if a loaf of bread costing $3 during normal economic times rises to cost $5 or even $10 because of inflation, each dollar you own is basically worthless. In times of deflation, that loaf will cost $2 maybe even $1 or even less, making every dollar more valuable than before. Therefore, deflation makes people hang on to their cash. They stop buying products, real estate and stocks, leading to a massive economic slowdown. If deflation gets worse, banks will suffer because they have loaned people money through mortgages to buy homes. The problem is falling property prices. A mortgage is a loan people use to borrow money from the bank or a company. If a borrower fails to pay back the loan, the lender has the right to repossess the borrower’s house. But if deflation is wrecking the economy, the value of the house might not be enough to cover the original loan. This means the bank loses money. If many people fail to pay back their loans when house prices are falling, banks will eventually think it is too risky to loan any more money. If banks act this way, it will get harder for companies to find sources of money. This results in a liquidity crisis because there is no money fueling the economy and businesses eventually go bust. Because people are worried about prolonged deflation, countries are doing everything they can to lower interest rates and feed money back into the system. Ben Bernanke, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s chairman of the Board of Governors, made a speech back in 2002 in which he repeated U.S. economist Milton Friedman’s statement that money could be “dropped from helicopters” if needed in order to avert a deflationary depression. However, there is a limit to how much a government can “devalue” money by lowering interest rates. The key interest rates in the U.S. and Japan have already approached 0 percent. Also, if a global economic slowdown affects the real economy, people will become wary about the future and spending money. So even if an opportunity for investment occurs or if valuable products come out at cheap prices, consumers won’t want to spend cash. In times like this, governments get involved by spending tax dollars on large public projects to boost spending and investment. The U.S., Europe, Japan and China have all started large civic projects. Korea has, too. The government’s sudden announcement to develop the nation’s rivers and roads for large-scale investment projects should be seen in this context. There is a reason for this “sudden” decision. If governments don’t act fast enough to prevent the situation from getting worse, there will be no medicine to make the situation better. After all, look what happened to Japan in the 1990s, the “lost decade.” During this time there were simultaneous asset, real estate and stock price bubbles. Before this, Japan experienced an economic high and could stand almost on par with the U.S. economy. But during the downturn, companies that had invested in real estate and banks that loaned out mortgages lost huge sums of money. After this, Japan’s economy developed at a snail’s pace. In particular, belated government efforts to improve the economy simply made the situation worse. By the time Japan lowered interest rates and supplied cash, the deflationary spiral had already gone too far downhill, and nobody wanted to spend or invest. At present, governments around the world are pumping out cash to prevent a similar situation from arising. Nobody wants a lost decade. However, no one is sure if these attempts at solving the problem will work. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next. However, even if this plan succeeds, most experts say there will be consequences. The massive amounts of cash the central government has printed and the loans that it borrowed for funding public projects will eventually become a burden for the general public. At present, governments have decided to spread the pain. The idea is so that we will feel less pain but over a longer period, which governments think is better than a short, sharp shock. |

Different Stages of Sleep
Did you know that quality of sleep changes through five sleep transitions? Doctors and psychologists say that a predictable sleep is a must for good health. The question is, how can a good night’s sleep happen? Knowing the different stages of sleep would be helpful for people suffering from sleep deprivation, interruption, insomnia, stress or worry. Of course there are temporary obstacles to sleep which can be solved. For example, a new born baby in the family or a big exam next day can be the causes. And such issues can be solved with perseverance and patience. Other problems that can disturb sleep may require a managing solution. Knowing the sleep stages and possible causes of sleeplessness will provide us the needed tools to start a readjustment of our sleep patterns. As mentioned above, sleep quality transitions from one stage to the next. And each stage is followed by subtle changes in bodily functions. As most of you may have guessed, the first stage is drowsiness: Eyes start to shut and the stage lasts approximately ten minutes. The transition goes from being awake to falling asleep with slower breathing. In such a period, we still make a fairly fast response to any interruptions since we are very aware of our physical surroundings. If you are aroused in this stage, you may feel as if you had no sleep at all.
The second stage is light sleep. The eye movement stops and so does the blood pressure and heart rates. Body temperature generally falls and muscles begin to relax. In this stage, you are no longer aware of your surroundings and this can be considered the beginning of real sleep.
The third and fourth stages are followed by deep sleep. Through these two stages your body generates and repairs tissues while developing bone and muscle. The immune system is provided with a boost and restores the lost energies from your day. The final stage is called Rapid Eye Movement. It is marked with many physiological changes like accelerated respiration, fast brain activity, eye movement and muscle relaxation. During this stage, people may dream due to much brain activity and the paralysis of major muscles in the body. If one wakes up from this stage of sleep, he or she will remember the dream in a vivid fashion.
In order to maintain consistency between sleeping and waking up well, a hot bath or shower, listening to soft music and drinking caffeine-free herbal tea before bed can be helpful. Regular exercise during the day several hours before bed can also be helpful. Lastly, remember that sugar, caffeine and alcohol must be avoided before heading for bed. We all should know the need for uninterrupted, deep sleep. Everyone needs to fall asleep well every night to rejuvenate the energy we need for our daily battles.
