Top Islamic body: Yoga is not for Muslims

According to Top Islamic body: Yoga is not for Muslims,The National Fatwa Council in Malaysia recently has promulgated a new tenet which asks Muslim not to practice yoga.Because yoga derives from Hinduism,they think it concludes inappropriate religious elements,chanting and worship all that will destory their faith of Islamism.In addition,they also banned women against wearing pants.Female wears trousers will be consider to be a tomboy,which “T” means a identification with homosex.

My reactions:

In the ancient India,yoga was one of the six philosophy departments.It had a lot of relation with Hinduism.However,now people practice yoga to strengthen their bodies.Modern yoga has appeared with various ways,every of them has its own effect.Doing yoga has numerous advantages.For example,it can relieve us from the exhausting life,increase our immune system,adjust the secretion of hormone and lymph,etc.
Moreover,yoga can rectify our bodies which benefits those who have a bent backbone.I am the patient of bent backbone,thus I chose yoga to be my P.E. class.
I hope my spine will be conditioned to a better situation after these classes.
However,every time when I do those actions,I feel painful all over the body.It seems that my body will be broken off.Painful as yoga is,I still enjoy doing it.I am looking forward to my body can be adjusted to a normal status.(201words)

'Pregnant man' and wife: We're a normal couple

According to 'Pregnant man' and wife: We're a normal couple, there was a man got pregnant.In fact,”he” was a female at first.She underwent some treatment and surgeries to translate herself into a truly man.After getting married,he was pregnant because his wife had a hysterectomy.
Instead of feeling strange,he thought it was a way to memorize their love.Thus,they published a book---- Labor of Love.

My reactions:

It wasn’t the first time that I heard this kind of news.With the advancement of the medical science,it is possible for men to get pregnant now.It’s a big revolution.In the past,people liked to exaggerate something as “sun rises from the westside” or “man can give a birth”.They no longer imagined that one day the latter sisuation would come true.
However,man with pregnancy always draws a lot of attentions.Some may consider him to be disgusting.They can’t accept a male,with a pregnant abdomen,walks on the street and has the same condition as a pregnant woman.As far as I am concerned,there is nothing unattainable in this new generation.There will be more magic inventions emerging. Thus,I won’t feel strange toward these special mother-to-be.I think we should give them more spaces and more encouragement instead of jeering them.All they want is have their own children as common.It doesn’t matter if they are same or different sexual.(205words)

5 Best Places to Travel in a Recession

According to 5 Best Places to Travel in a Recession,some costly tourist resorts now are becoming affordable to us because of the financial crisis.The following are five places that are suitable for travel during the economic recession---Iceland,Canada,Australia,Great Britain and South Korea.

My reactions:
In my opinion,take the more closing life for example,though the time is harder than before,costs on food,clothes,and traveling are less influenced,not only for upper class but also for commoners.Now it is a M-shaped society,the rich are becoming wealthier and wealthier while the poor is going to the opposite side.However,businessmen can still figure out some plans to overcome the recession.Such as the project that we can buy one item with another product presented free may attract more people.Second,discount is an essential part in the trade.Recently,the most hot marketing method I observe is the food stand.It is always started by young men who usually with a high educational background.The food they sell is delicious and original that always lures a flock of students and teenagers.Because of the its yummy and fairly price,this new kind of business really makes a fortune and becomes a dawn to us.
No matter how time changes,it depends on our intelligence and originality to fit in with the trend.Those who with these will survive and success.Now it is a generation of personal smart.(208 words.)

Health of the Mother

According to Health of the Mother,there was a debate between America presidential candidates.It was about whether late-term-abortion bans should include exceptions for the mother's health.

My reactions:

In America,abortion is a privacy and protected by the constitution:in former three-month pregnancy,women and doctors have complete rights to decide the abortion;in middle pregnancy,we need to obey the rules,which every state made,while in late three-month preganancy,every state can legislate against aborting.Compared to Taiwan,because of the random sexual behaviors,
abortion is no longer a rarely seen phenomenon.

As far as I am concerned,I have great esteem for life.I like children very much.And everytime when I see a new-born,a question comes into my mind-
why has abortion become a common currency? seeing the innocence face of a infant,I don’t know why we have the right to deprive one’s living without consulting with the unborn.

Since choosing to have sex behaviors,we can not over emphasize the importance of the contraception. Otherwise,it is common to have a child. Learning some abortion process from the nursing classes,I knew it is very cruel.Except for some special circumstances,such as abnormal or ill fetus,abortion should be banned.I think we should enhance the right concepts again and again.Life is valuable and has no chance to back,no one can decide others’ life.

Afghan court spares life of inquisitive journalism student

According to Afghan court spares life of inquisitive journalism student,there was a Department of Journalism student in Afghanistan sentenced to death penalty previously,but now changed into twenty years in prison.Because that he asked questions of women rights in class and he gave out an Internet article,which against the conservatism under Islam.

My reactions:

In an Islam society,there are many difference to us.For example,women have to wear long smocks from head to toe almost all day long.I think it has become a symbolic of Islam culture.Hence,we may consider Islam to be a crucial and stric religion.But we can’t forget that we grow up in the different place, political power,and most importantly,culture.So it’s unfair to compare.That is to say,we can’t put two opposite thing in a same level.

And about the penalty in the article,I think it is also a kind of culture difference.As the time goes by,not only the physical life but also the concepts improve.For instance,humans in ancient China have a lot of expression limitation,especially in the Ming and Ching Dynasty.They had serious literary persecutions,which always caused intellectuals doing their writings with fears.
At that time,there was still somebody believing the existence of democracy.
However,it really came true,now people have more freedom than before.Thus,I think the Islam countries will improve their rules.It’s just a matter of time.(206 words)

Classroom Politics: Should Teachers Endorse a Candidate?

According to Classroom Politics: Should Teachers Endorse a Candidate? there is a temporary prohibition against teachers issue on politics in class.However,this order interferes teachers with their freedom of speaking.Often in election season,teachers unions have enforced their members to stand in the same part.But school is the place to learn knowledge instead of promoting politics.

My reactions:

As far as I am concerned,declaring one’s political position is a strange and inappropriate behavior.Not to mention the fact that is the relationship with a teacher and a student.School should be a pure learning center.Though everyone has the right to say,I think that it’s better not to speak of the political issues in front of children.For fear that it might give children wrong concepts and arise the unnecessary quarrels.

For instance,my senior high school English teacher liked to give us English news reports to read.Once,she kept showing us the negative reports of the Democratic Progressive Party,and sometimes she revealed how much she hated that party.Despite of the fact that I didn’t belong any party,my feeling of that was not very good.Because I thought the topics related to politics were too tense.Take one of my classmates for example,she was the super fan of the DPP,so every time when the teacher lectured this kind of paper,she just put the paper away and fell asleep.This action,however,has must affected other students’ concentration on class.So I am for no politics in school.

Climate change could force millions from homes

According to"Climate change could force millions from homes",there are many people migrating because of environmental damages,such as desertification and flooding.Compared to the political refugees fleeing their country,they move to another place which is still located in their country.It is the continual crop failures caused by global warming that results in the migration.

My reaction:

I think the global warming is an unavoidable problem,and we must face it.In the past,I only focused on the sea-level rising.Now I realized what big influence other damages would cause as the sea-level rising.The famous example to sea-level rising is Tuvalu,located in the southern Pacific Ocean,has declared to leave for New Zealand since 2001.Seeing from that,it isn’t hard to imagine the power of naure change.
Not only the natual disaster but also the man-made calamities make our life change. Sahel,the most apparent desertification example in Africa,results in many problems,like air pollution and food shortage.Due to the large amount of population,people have to grow enough food to support their living.In this way, they use the land without limitation.As far as I am concerned,besides the rapidly-increasing population,the biofuels are another factors.A great deal of foods,such as soybeans, wheat and so on,are widely used to make biofuels.
So the hunger is spreading farther and farther.Every government has to figure out the solution,otherwise it will become a new flash point in global.(213words)
