Personal Rhetorical Thinking

To do my blog assignment for English class, I searched for two blogs. Few minute later, two blogs attract me; which are online safety about Facebook by Jemima Kiss and “For Better Online Pravacy”… Again? By Jose Niro Romano Nillasca. The common thing on both blog is the topic that makes people interested in.

                Similarly, those two blogs explain how serious the internet damage recently. The one of them by Jemima handle the issue about panic button on Facebook website. When the user click the any pop-up  or any ad from unknown, the computer is in trouble, and it can be exposed personal information in the computer. However, the company is trying to fix this, but it is not easy. That’s why many teenagers who are using Facebook are exposed on this risk. In this blog, the picture is appropriate to represent the situation. Also, the author makes a section; therefore, each one explains about the each topic clearly.

                The other blog is telling that Facebook and Microsoft are doing for safe privacy, but it is not enough to prevent completely. The author explains the customer protection is weak, so this issue will not be end. This blog’s explanation is great, and the picture on the top of this blog is also good. However, I suggest to add any statistic or experience to support this article.

My Privacy Is Safe?

     Today, I search for my blog assignment which topic is online safety. Most webpage was about the way to keep online safety, but one topic was sparkling that was “Internet Use Raises Privacy Concerns.”

      It is from VOAnews about internet safety. The news explains that the internet privacy concern is increasing more. The criminal way is made variously, and the internet company cannot handle all criminal ways. Also, the academic researcher said that it is so easy to expose personal information on internet. They did experiment to find personal stuff, but it was easily found by a researcher.

      In this article, there is no specific point, such as picture, video, or statistic data. However, after I read this, I realize how serious the internet privacy issue. Additionally, we already register our name and picture on many websites, like Facebook, Google, etc; however, we did not know exactly where our information is. Many policies and safety software cannot fully protect from exposing the significant information. To prevent this dangerous, I personally suggest checking all websites that usually went and make a list for the websites that my information saved.

Why not in North Korea?

“’From the first day we took the side of people’s revolution and we are ready to stand up to any attacking force’ from Abdullah El Hassi Air force colonel.”

Today, in the Middle East area, people, who are in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and, Tunisia, protest against the Government. They criticize the dictatorship and demand their rights and freedom like other democratic country. This movement is affecting oil price higher; additionally, it impacts to North Korea that has been passed on power to his descendants though third generation.

           Do you know where the poorest country is; in addition, where the longest term of dictatorship country is? North Korea insists its social structure as communism; however, after the WW2, the family of Jung-il Kim has been governed though third generation. In this country, there is no election, no freedom, and recently even no food. People in the nation are starving to death; in the other hand, the president is spending about a million dollar for his health per a year. Lately, from South Korea, many organization included the Government are trying to let people know with the advertisement about the democratic revolution. The Middle East’s protest is conveying to some people in North Korea although the Government restrict strongly. As a result, there are several movements against the government, but it was oppressed by the military. Now, “North Korea threatens to attack South Korea US” about “propaganda leaflets toward the communist country” because Jung-il Kim already knew it is going to be critically threatened for them to maintain his power.

             I believe that it is proper time for recovering its freedom and rights for North Korean people. There is no solution for their lives. North Korean people have to choose between starving to dead and fighting against the Government like other countries. Historically, we have many examples that dictatorship is never able to maintain its power forever. I suggest that we have to announce them about this knowledge and stimulate to recover the basic human being as their destinies.

Education Problem

                 When I came to America, my heart was aflutter for the great education. For example, I desire to learn English and my major from excellent professor and to study in wonderful library and school. The reason why I thought about them is there are many famous universities in the United States; in the mean time, America is the best economic country in the world. However, in one day, I took a class that was about American education. It is one of the most serious problems in this nation; in addition, many Presidents up to now have been trying to fix this.

                  According to Businessweek, “Some 85% of adult Americans have at least a high school degree today, up from just 25% in 1940. Similarly, 28% have a college degree, a fivefold gain over this period.” He also refers that “workforce with high school and college degrees may not only fail to keep rising over the next 15 years but could actually decline slightly, warns a report released on Nov. 9 by the National Center for Public Policy & Higher Education, a nonprofit group based in San Jose, Calif.” It was shocked and wired for me. The reason why I thought that is most people usually get a bachelor degree in my country, South Korea. Additionally, we recently do not consider that a Master degree is a high degree. Now, I am personally able to find the reason from getting a job easily. Although people in the United States do not graduate a university, they can get a job. This fact means that there is not high competition for maintaining their lives.

Finally, his conclusion on this article is “the U.S. must push harder to get better teachers into poorer schools.” However, I do not agree this opinion. I personally insist that people are going to study when they feel that it is necessary. That means that the U.S government makes people feel to need earning degree for their bright future. At the same time, the government should strongly support the person who does not have enough money for education, such as student loan or scholar ship.

Which fact is more important?

          Today, I read an article from The New York Times about U.S force move to Libya. According to the news, “Mr. Gates said he had ordered an amphibious assault ship, the Kearsarge, and an amphibious transport dock ship, the Ponce, to the Mediterranean.” In addition, from this, “…there was no authorization for military force in a United Nations Security Council resolution…” In this phrase, he obviously considers doing military operation without UN support.

             I heard that the president in Libya oppresses the protesters with military power; as a result, many people died and injured from the action. A human’s life is the most important in the world, and we have to save their lives. However, The United States is still spending a lot of money for wars. For example, it was not completely finished with Iraq and Afghanistan yet. There are about 150,000 soldiers in the area. To maintain this force, America has to use much money for the supplement. Furthermore, there is a thrill with South Korea against North Korea.

             Eventually, the purpose to find biological weapon was not achieved. People criticize it was failed. Where is the money from? All money is from tax in America. The United States Government has increased the deficit from the war. Of course, it is important to save people in Libya; additionally, as the most powerful country, it is important to preserve peace. However, in my opinion, the government has to ask its citizens about this war before keep going on.
