However, recently a campus violence was put on the Internet, it caused us attention. It was said that a girl called"Sister Xiong", she called a lot of students together to hit another girl. The victim suffered a broken nose and bruises. The schools said the girl is willing to apologize to public and the victim, and her violence behavior come from her father. Education experts think both school and her parents did not do their duty, they did not teach her how to control her emotion but just emphasis on high grades.

Vera's homework

Topic: Qualification or Capability——which factor is more important for people who want to find a good job.


Summary:

I think that both factors are equally important. People with high qualification can easily find a good job, cause they have diplomas which can prove that they are qualified. They might start at a higher point and research shows that the more excellent the qualification, the higher the salary. However, Chinese companies tend to more lean to hire people with years of experience. Obviously, diploma isn't the only thing companies require from candidates. They also test the candidates by, for example, laying out a plan for certain project to see if they had the capabilities as good as their qualifications. People with only high qualification but low capability from lacking working experience would have hard times to combine theories with practice. On the other hand, social experience is also an important factor for people who wants a good job. Not only the companies want to hire people who have high qualification and outstanding capability, but also people with rich social experience and interpersonal relation skills. Because they know how to work with their colleagues and bosses to improve work efficiency which is the best thing the companies expected. That's why more and more undergraduate students find jobs during their vacations to gain as much working and social experience as they can. So they will graduate with both qualification and capability to insure them a promising future.

some Chinese may argue that there are 2 to 3 cars each American household owned in averagy. What I want to point out is that the USA is quite different from us in lifestyle, for example, the teenage of drivers are dreaming of getting a car and leaving home, which is quite incredible in Chinese family. Also, they need their cars even to get a hamburgerd when there is little public transportation in their urban area.

Nancy's homework

PLAN

Topic: How far is China from emerging as a fashion center?

Introduction:

Although many people in the fashion world consider China as a retail market only,some Chinese designers are striving to shine in the international fashion community. However,it will depend on multiple successful factors so that the country will become a fashion center internationally. This essay is going to have a further look at this question through several main factors,such as fashion brand, designers and designer ideas,consumption idea,etc.

Main body:

A. Fashion brand

1)Brand is a intangible sum of the name, characteristics, packing, price, history, reputation, advertising of the product. In fact,many famous international brands tell people the legend behind their brands:centuries-old cultural continuity,beautiful story of the brand,unique individual character,etc. Situation in China: brand is degenerating into label.

2)China is the biggest producing,consumption and export country,but has no international brand.

Fashion product is a special kind of product which would be worthless without a brand. Running thoughts of positioning the product on a international brand is of vital importance.

B. Designers & design ideas

1)Designers

1. A collection of international masters

2. Indigenous designers.

   Although China still lacks of world-top designers,there is a small number of excellent designers in Hong Kong. Chinese designers are at the stage of learning. Some of them have strong ability of creativity and other abilities,what they need is to run into the interaction between company and designer,also between designer and market.

2)Design ideas

1. Absorb international cultures from fashion cities like Paris,Milan,London,New York,etc. Cultural exchanges are a way of developing design ideas. Keep comprehensive mind-set.

2. Chinese traditional culture with a long history can be combined with western culture. Some of the designers have made a success by doing this. Oriental culture is unique,we just need a unique way to present it.

   
   

C. Consumption idea

China owns a large market of consumption,how to attract the consumers should obey the following points. Fashion contains two kinds of meaning:First,it is a reaction of current prevalent culture of society and people's life style. Second,it should aim at aesthetic value. Both of them are closely related to the thoughts of consumers.

1)Awareness to the society and living conditions,more ethical:global warming,over exploitation,impacts on environment, etc.

2)Economy & Politics influence:financial crisis.

Conclusion

China has the potentiality to be a fashion center because of advantages like marketing and unique culture. It may take a long time for us to try hard,but it will be worth.

3.China's clothing exports to the USA stood at just around $9b in 1990,$25b in 1995 and rose to $70b at the end of 2005.

Does china need film classification?
Introduction
Situation of china’s film system-no film classification but the censorship system
Compare with other countries in the world-it’s the basic system in the world
My opinion is we should establish the movie-grading system as soon as possible
Main part
Definition of film classification
Describe the situation of china’s film censorship system and point out the weakness
Weakness: director need to consider a lot about the rules of the censorship before begin to shoot,
directors are required to delete some specific plot although it spend them lots amount of money and time
The decision all made by government not by audience
Advantage of movie-grading
Cancel the restrict to the director，they are freely to shoot the film they want. show anything they want
Audience can watch the whole movie instead of the one which had cut lots of plot
Let Chinese films be brought in line with international practice and enlarge the international market
Good for childhood’s education .definitely grading not allowed children to see anything they are shouldn’t see
Arguement
it's hard to not allow children enter the cinema

lots of sex violence movies will come out immediately
Conclusion

With the beginning of movie-grading ,the boundary of adult &under age will easily comes out. as we all know, adults have different kinds of requirements, the films beneficial to all ages can’t satisfy the requirements of different kinds of people。With the high speed development of the modern socity,film classification must be carry out in the future. we are looking forward to see it soon!

Angie's Homework

Discussion:Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas(in words,pictures,music or film) in whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do.

Introduction:state my mind

I agree with that there should be no government restriction on creative artists who express themselves in the way they do and they must be given freedom for the same.

Body:reasons to support my point of view.

Creative artists play a major role in our society, their works enlighten our minds, no matter if is factual or entertainment based. It is no doubt that after a days work when we want to take some time off for ourselves , we look out for some leisure. For instance: either pleasant music or a family movie which strike the mind. Entertainment give us an overview of a new side of life ,there is almost everything good in what is given to us through the media world which is made up of artists.

Balance the ideas:

On the contrary sometimes these artists tend to be unethical. They convert rumours into facts and present them before us.This might impair the repulation of some illustrtions people in today's society.On such occasions,certain restrictions are understandable.

Conclusion: respect for ones ideas is not only hypothetical but must be practise. It is through respect that each one of us can be recognised as a unique person in the world .This can be achieved by looking at the bright side of what media and the creative artists display for us. Not a day can go by without looking out colorful dreams and beatiful life which we can find either through music ,film,poetry,pictures,everything that are the creative artists offer to us.

Thesis: Advanced Degree or Good Capabilities——which factor is more important when people want to find a good job in China.


Introduction:


——Background of employment environment of China;

——General hiring requirements of companies in China;

——Signposts: This essay will discuss the pros and cons of people with only high qualification and people with rich social experience but low-educated, and then it will give some feasible suggestions for job hunting in current employment situation.


Some people believe that having an advanced degree will get them a good job.

Reasons:


1. Pressure on employment becoming increased——the amount of university graduates has been growing rapidly;


2. Companies raise the threshold of employment——more and more companies require college diploma from their candidates;


3. Parents of the college students push them to get higher degrees, so they'll become more competitive than others.


Research showed that lots of people believe that 'Knowledge can change your destiny!' In 2004, 61.3% of the total respondents believe that an advanced degree will play an important role in their future career. And the percentage raised to 67.6% the next year.


——People with advanced degree do get a good job more easier;


Because of companies raised their threshold of candidates, the higher the degree, the easier the candidate get the job. Obviously they want to hire a master more than a bachelor.


——People with advanced degree know more about their related field.


As they learn more about their major theoretically, it's easier for them to use their knowledge to handle their work in related field.


More and more people believe that outstanding capability and rich social experience are more important than an advanced degree.


Reasons:


1. Working experience is required increasingly——companies lean to hire people with more working experience.


2. Lots of successful business men are low-educated——years of life and social experience made them survive in the cruel business world.


A report from CUS(China Undergraduates' Consumption and Lifestyle Study) showed that along with the grade going up, less and less undergraduates believe that 'higher degree equals higher income'. An interviewee with doctor's degree told CUS his personal experience of being overshaded by a man graduated from junior college in a foreign company interview.


——People with outstanding capability and working experience are easier to get promoted;

Companies tend to employ people with good capability, cause they already familiar ed with the process and system, as while as they work more efficiently and precisely. It would take years for high degree beginners to practice their theories in their work.

——People with rich social experience are easier to quickly adjust themselves to fit in any situation.

Defining a good employee doesn't only depend on his/her knowledge or capability, it also depends on how well he/she can handle the interpersonal relations with his/her colleagues, bosses or clients. And the ability of making appropriate decisions when there is an incident.

Summary:


I think that both points of view are rational, though working experience and capability are being more considered by employers nowadays. People with high qualification and low capability might start at a higher point, but it probably will take them years to transform their knowledge into practice. And people who are low-educated but have a wealth of experience might be used to start their career from a really low position and then learn the rules of society. Fortunately, there are solutions for both situations. It's a great thing for undergraduates to work in their vacations. Taking part-time jobs or jobs related to their majors, so they can practice what they learnt in school while rich their social experience. Then it will be more easier to find themselves
good jobs after they graduated, as they have both qualification and capability.

Through the last decades it has been apparent that electronic communications have played a very important role in people's life. Humans have strived to speed up and improve methods of communications with others for thousands of years. After a long period of slow-paced development, people finally made a breakthrough at the end of the 20th century. Nowadays electronic communications which include mobile phones,networks,emails,faxes and so on, become the main method of global communications between individual people and also between groups of people. They collect information and opinions fleetly in a walk. However,from my point of view,people may have fewer social skills as a result of the rapid development of electronic communications. A recent graduate student can exchange his thoughts,opinions and feelings with his classmates or professor actively by email,but he may be too nervous to show his real capability in a face-to-face interview for his job. Some people are not good at writing,I mean writing with a pen,because they are accustomed to type words on computers or mobile phones.Let's have a further look at how electronic communications influence people's life.
