As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate

       At this time with the development of technology people use machines to do too many things. In some areas the robots have completely replaced the workers. Of course, it also brings a lot of problems. Some people hold this opinion if the human race more and more relies on technology to solve problems, they will lose the ability to think. This is a good question, since the industrial revolution these kinds of problem have always been mentioned. But it is ridiculous for people who know a little bit about the biological history.

        About two million years ago, our ancestor give up living in tree and came to the prairie. In the next ten thousand years our ancestors learning how to walk to replace crawl. About 2 million years ago to 300,000 years ago, our ancestors start to learn how to use fire to cook and in this time our ancestors gradually lost the hair of body. So using fire to cook and learn how to walk is a progress. In their opinion who think use the technology to solve problems is deteriorating people should give any technology and just live like a monkey.

       On the other hand, from the history of science, we also could find enough evidence to prove. Human being do not have the fastest speed or the strongest body. Also we cannot fly in the sky. But we use the tool to conquer the earth. But at this time some people hold the opinion that if people more and more rely on technology to solve problems, their ability to think for themselves will surely deteriorate. But they forget who create these technologies. Maybe they don’t forget. They just want us to forget technology: they are a traitor of all the human race.

Question: As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

From stone age to now our technology was developed faster than we thought. We already made a lot of items that did not exist in the past. Computers, Cars, Cell Phones, spacecraft, they are not invented in the past. A lot of people believe relying on technology to solve problems is better choice for human beings’ future. However, as people rely more on technology to solve problems the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate to some degree.

            First of all, the more people depend on something, the more they lose. For instance, I firmly believe people rely more on technology to solve problems that will hurt our ability to solve problems. People are increasingly relying on the use of calculators to calculate numbers, rather than their brains to calculate. For instance, sometimes I saw even with simple calculations, people still use calculators such like 20+20. When I with my friends at a restaurant we used to talk each other but now my friends pay more attention to their Smart phone rather than talk to each other. People spend more time on internet rather than on books.

            All in all, as people rely more and more on technology to solve problems the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate. I totally agree with this idea.

As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

By Ruoxi (Crystal) Qi

With the rapid development of science and technology, people nowadays spend more time relying on technology to solve problems instead of thinking by themselves. Due to this fact, some people argue that the ability of humans to think for themselves will undoubtedly deteriorate. However, technology helps improve the working efficiency and also generates new questions and challenges for people to think of and deal with.

It is true that the people do not need to think by themselves for many problems due to the development of technology. By using computer and Internet, many problems and tasks can be quickly solved. People can google their questions and get the answers online instead of thinking of the ways of how to do research and deal with the problems step by step. People can use the calculators to solve the algebraic questions instead of figuring out the right number. Therefore, the development of technology helps a lot so that people no longer need to solve many problems by the traditional ways. This could deteriorate humans’ ability to think.

However, technology greatly improves the humans’ working efficiency and helps people move on to a higher level of intellectual work instead of a lot of low-level physical work. In addition, the new technology brings about a lot of new issues that challenge people’s thinking. For example, using new nuclear technology has become a debated topic and question for people to think of how to utilize without negative effects.

In sum, technology weakens people’s thinking ability to some degree. However, the tremendous importance and great benefits of technology cannot be underestimated.

What do international students bring to the greater community when they choose to study in the U.S?

The article talks about why so many international students come to the US for studying. Some of them want to attend colleges or universities in the US, and others come to the US for improving their English. The international students also bring lots of benefits to the United States when they come here. In addition, the government of United States provides some supports to help the international students achieve their goals.

At present, more and more international students come to the United States to finish their colleges or university programs, and there are still more students who come from other countries for their language goals like IEPs or TESOL test. The data shows that there are more than one million international students who come to the US for their universities or colleges, and with over 100000 of those attending different English programs. Those students choose the right place for their educational purpose. Of course, they have brought lot of benefit to the greater community as well.

First, millions of international students bring economic advantage. Students who study in the US spend much money here, including tuition, cars, apartments, all kinds of expenses they need to pay. All of these increase the economy. Some parents have to accompany their kids who study in high school. This situation will cost much more for their families. The more students come here, the more cost will happen, and the more the economy will increase.

Second, students who can come to study here because most of them are the top students in their countries. So they also bring some bright sides to the US and influence American students in some way. In other words, students who come from different areas and American students can learn from each other well.

The last benefits is that some people who come from other countries bring their own culture and skills. For example, when Chinese people come the US, they also bring their classical culture to the US, like Chinese tea culture and traditional Chinese acupuncture. Some culture is very useful and helpful; it should be shared with people all over the world.

In short, lots of international students who study in the US bring many benefits in different field to this country. Without doubt, all of those are based on the fact the US providing different platforms and opportunities

What are some of the qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed over time in your culture? Five reasons and examples to supports your answer.

   What are the qualities of a good son and daughter? Different periods and different cultures have different definitions. But for the judgements of humanity there should have some basic, qualities describe a good son or good daughter. Those qualities are always shining around people’s lives and push people to move forward forever. And those qualities will not be changed with the time passing by, even thoughts in different area or different culture, they will stable in people’s mind all the time. Those good qualities include kindness, honesty, ability of making money. A kind person always treats people or other species well. He/ She knows how to love and how to appreciate other people’s good behaviors. Honesty is very important quality for a person. If a person is not honest How do people believe him/her. She/ He may be cheating everything. The last one is ab that has ability to make money. The three qualities mentioned above are the same basic qualities for a good son and a good daughter.

   It is obvious that some qualities changed over time in our culture. For examples, for our parents’ generation, a good son or a daughter should have some good qualities to help their parents do some working, like planting, clearing or sewing. But now, parents hope their kids to study well and enter a good college or university. Another example is that good son or daughter should give back money or other stuffs to their parents when they grow up. But now, a good son or a daughter could make enough money for themselves and not be worried by their parents.

  No matter what the definition of the qualities of good son or a daughter changed. The basic rules are always there. The reason why the opinions of a good qualities change. Another reason is the policy of having baby in China. Most families only have one child. In short, the kindness, honesty, ability of making money and being grateful for something are good qualities of human being, it is some for a good son or a daughter.

How the be a good son or daughter

At this time it seems even dialing a mobile number is becoming too time consuming for our fast-paced time is precious society. So people always ignore lots of things. The even forget their family. First of all people should be a good son or daughter. In my opinion a good son or daughter should be filial and be honest with parents.

The Honesty is the most important, not only to be a good son or daughter but to be a good person although the times have changed honesty never changed. It is an important standard to evaluate a people of course that not only honest this one quality. However, a good son or daughter has many different qualities for example just like filial. This qualities would change as time goes on. In China Ancient times, son should live with their parent and grandparent even if they are married, but a girl is she is married, she has to live in her husband family and rarely visit her natural parents. So living with big family is called filial piety. But filial piety not only limited in this, in China Ancient people didn’t get haircut because of it is a symbol of filial piety. At this time filial piety has changed a lot. We don’t need to live with parent. After we got married, but we can live close to parents. It is easy to take care of them if they need help. If we don’t live in same city visit parent every year it is filial piety.

Almost parent will not need too much from their child So as a son or daughter we just take care of ourselves and don’t forget parent contact with them when we have free time.

what the International student brings to America

  At this time more and more students choose to study in America. Through the article people could find that choosing to study in USA not only brought $36 billion money to America ever year, but also gave America the best and brightest students from all parts of the globe. Unfortunately because of the various reasons international students study in USA is not enough safe.

  For almost every international students if they want to study in America the first of all they have to consider about the money because that the tuition is very expensive. This is an important part of the American economy. A country which wants to control the world for long times only use the talents from itself is not enough so its excellent education could help it attract the best talents. Then the talents would help United States dominate the Earth.

  The United States has long been a global leader all over the world. It makes too much conflict even though the USA uses the most advanced technological to antiterrorist. But the terrorist attacks often occur in America especially in recently year. So the international students will face a problem choosing the best education and worrying about the terrorist attack or just studying in their country? Weather the Americans could offer international students a safe place to learn and grow will influence how many international students will study in the USA. In the short run lose some international students will only lose some money but in long-term it will influence the American status of the world.

  So author wants the new government to pay attention to the international students. If the new president do like what he said in his speeches, author thought the American must lose lots of the international talent.
