The future of Euro debt crisis

Euro debt crisis started in Greece in late of 2009; Greek government exposed their true financial deficits when every country started to check the problems in their financial system after sub-prime mortgage crisis happened in US. Three years later, the situation in Greece becomes worse and worse, not only Greece, but also other members in PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain) make Euro zone in dilemma.

In the news “Greeks Pull Cash Out of Banks as Confidence Wanes “, Greek people panic mood continues to spread so that they take out deposit from banks or transfer their money abroad. The bank system basically paralyzes because they can’t get bailout from Euro center bank and international monetary fund. The whole country stuck in political turmoil. If the public still didn’t accept austerity measure proposed by French and German as an attaching condition of bailout loans, government asset would be liquidated and Greece would be kicked out from Euro zone. In the BBC news “What could happen next if Greece leaves the eurozone? ", the author lists the consequence if Greece leaves the Euro zone, which includes recession, bank runs, political backlash, Greek debt default etc.

I have to say, Greek people do face a painful time which maybe continues a long time. The price of huge financial deficits would be high tax and low welfare in material and invasion of dominion because Euro zone will limit Greek expenditure, which is a spiritual torture to Greek. German failed to control Greece historically by force, if they arrives their old aim by economical ways, how Greek people could accept the cruel reality? The other choice is that Greece quit from Euro zone. They can keep the dominion complete, but they would face a serious recession in all area of modern social, where government bankrupt, currency depreciate and society riot. Whatever Greece chooses, it is definite that comfortable life and generous pension in Greece are gone.

German and French don’t arrive to an agreement with Greece on this issue yet, but they can’t stand them unlimitedly. Greek people can’t be used to a tough life which suddenly changes from a happy and rich life. Therefore, I guess Greece would quit Euro zone to depend on them. After Greek struggle to survive in a long time recession, they would find it is good to have a help from Euro zone. And Greece future is a good example for the other PIIGS, not every one of which will select the same with Greece. As for Euro zone, it is not easy to dismiss; meanwhile, German and French are as strong as they did in the past to be on the top among world class nations.

Dangers in water

Most people think it has a lot of fun to play in water, such as swimming, surf and diving, but I don’t think so. I was never allowed to play in a pool or river by my grandmother when I was a child. I often heard that somebody drowned whatever they knew how to swim or not, meanwhile, I know bloodsuckers maybe bite people to suck blood when they work in water of paddy field. Thus, I have the impression there are something horrible in water which are uncontrolled by human being. On May 1, 2012, Aimee Copeland’s encounter is turned out my potential fear is reasonable.

According to the news “Girl With Flesh-Eating Disease Can't Remember Events”, Aimee Copeland, a 24 years old female student studying master degree, contracted a deadly flesh-eating disease after she zipped line in a river with her friend two weeks ago. Bacteria float up to surface after a storm to infect her wound on her left leg. During two weeks, the poor girl ‘s left leg and some fingers were destroyed by the bacteria and had to be cut. She relies on a ventilator of oxygen to live and still don’t know what happened to her.

Flesh-eating disease, according to Wikipedia, doesn’t mean the bacteria eat meat. The bacteria release toxins to destroy muscle and skin, after they finish destroying one part of body they will spread to other places. The disease progresses rapidly and even eventually lead to die without medical assistance. This disease sounds an old one in ancient time when medicine wasn’t developed, but it really happened today. It took two weeks to change Aimee Copeland from a beautiful and vigorous girl to a disable and dying patient. She can’t speak and even to lose her memory. Mortality rate of flesh-eating disease is up to 73%, but her family still hopes miracle would happen. How terrible it is!

I won’t talk about a pollution issue in water because everyone knows there are something disgusting or bad when the water color is green or deep yellow or dark; I won’t talk about undercurrent or vortices which probably make people stuck in water to suffocate; I won’t talk about people suddenly have a tic which makes them drown, either. What I really want to talk about is potential fear which can protect us from unexpected dangers. Maybe sometimes people with fear look a little bit cowardly, but it is exactly precious protection to them which is just ignored.Actually,you don't need to be brave always.

Those family members in law

People always argue about whether they need to respect family’s opinions about a future mate. Although there isn’t a standard answer, Jennifer Hudson’s family’s tragedy gives obstinate persons who fall in hot love a warn.

According to “Guilty verdicts in Jennifer Hudson family murder trial”, Jennifer Hudson, a famous singer in American and a excellent actress who won Oscar reward in 2004 for her best performance in Dream girls, lost her mother, younger brother and her nephew at a same murder in 2008. After 4 years, the murderer was eventually convicted who was Jennifer’s brother in law. Balfour, who Jennifer’s sister don’t take care her family’s opposition to get married with, revenged on his estranged wife for her new relationship whit other man by shooting her mother, brother and son.

It is normal to start or end a relationship, but people never predict they will pay the cruel price like this to end a relationship. How do people introduce monsters into their life and family originally? Young people call for freedom for love, that isn’t to say, they can ignore family’s opinion. Some opinion come from parent’s prejudice about looks or wealth, which they can ignore; some opinion is about the person’s quality or personality which parent’s don’t agree, which they should pay attention to. At present, many young people spoil themselves on relationship. They would like to fall in love with different kinds of persons; however, what they don’t know is that it is easy to say “Hello” and “difficult” to say “Good-bye”. Just like Balfour, a violent and jealous man, when he had to face his marriage fail, he appeared what he really was-a monster. People go more night way, it is more probable to encounter a ghost. It is time to be responsible not only to themselves but also to their family. Find a lover with good personality, and they had better to make sure they really love each other when they introduce their future mate into family formally. We hope God can save those heinous souls; nevertheless, the only way to protect us from harm is to keep far away from them.

Freedom for every gay and lesbian

Nowadays, more and more people become a lesbian or gay. It is quite common in many countries. Are you a gay or lesbian? A lot of gay or lesbian rights advocates support that same –sex marriages should be allowed by law. Do you agree or disagree with that? Do you think that same –sex marriages means lesbian or gay get equal human rights? When I saw The New York Times, a headline named "Behind N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of Forces"caught my interested.

In “Behind N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of Forces”, the writers said that in the 35th-floor conference room of a Manhattan high-rise, two of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s most trusted advisers held a secret meeting a few weeks ago with a group of super-rich Republican donors. New York’s Democratic governor was determined to legalize same-sex marriage (SSM).

In my opinion, gay or lesbian should be allowed to marry in law. In the past, American adults refuted SSM, except in about ten states and the District of Columbia. Because of most Americans, marriage is a religious sacrament or ceremony. If the definition of marriage is changed to allow SSM, some religious individuals and groups feel that they will become at risk of having to infringe their beliefs by being forced to marry same-sex couples. However, the world is changed. More and more people realize that gay and lesbian should be allowed to get marriage. Marriage is hallowed, it conveys stateliness and respect towards a couple that make a lifetime commitment to support each other. It is not only a process of reproduction, but it also is a way that symbolizes a couple love each other, they want to live together. So, same –sex couples deserve this stateliness and respect. Moreover, getting marriage is one of kind human right. Everyone has right to marry the person who you love, no matter they are male or female. We should not forbid same-sex couples marriage. To sum up, gay or lesbian should be allowed to marry. You can disagree with them, but you should respect them.

Medical optimism

Do you believe modern medication has been so developed that many complicated diseases can be cured or efficiently controlled at some extent? When I was healthy, my answer was yes; however, the answer is no when I seek doctor’s help. We never cherish our health until we are sick because there are so many articles about new medical approach on newspaper or websites, which make us believe modern medication can save our health harmed by stress, overwork, drugs or abuse intercourse. Even when people get cancer unfortunately, they might still think they are far away from death if they saw the article “Stem cell shield 'could protect cancer patients'”.

In “Stem cell shield 'could protect cancer patients'”, James Gallagher tells us that there is a new way to relieve side-effect of chemotherapy for a patient with cancer. As we know, chemotherapy can not only suppress tumour cells but also harm stem cells which produce blood for body. If stem cells was isolated from bone marrow and was infected by a virus with a gene which will protect stem cells from damage caused by chemotherapy, patients would be more tolerate to chemotherapy and have longer life. The result of trials turn out it can work and the new way might apply in the related research where bone marrows are impaired by cancer treatments.

Although it is a good news, it can’t present that a cancer patient don’t need to worry. According to Wikipedia, Cancer mortality varies from 97% for pancreatic cancer to 6% for thyroid cancer. Hope for cure depends on the place where tumor appears. Meanwhile, another critical factor is cancer stage. Cancer is found later, there is less chance for cure. Therefore, a new way which can relieve side-effect of chemotherapy can’t change the situation, which is impending doom. A healthy person rarely suspects medical reliability until he gets sick. Mature medication can heal common diseases such as Flu, gastric ulcer and Pneumonia; nevertheless, some complicated diseases are still puzzles. It takes a long time from appearance of a new approach to maturity. No patient wants to be tried. Except some disease caused by inborn factors, most people probably know how to keep healthy in routine life to lessen chance for diseases. The ability of body to adjust and cure is better than any medication,so we should use our body's advantage.Let’s start to live a healthy life from now on.
