Olympic 2008 is coming soon in China and it seems that due to the Olympic , expansion and development is everywhere in China such as roads extensions n expansions, building new buildings for offices, condominiums. My opinion is development in China esp in Beijing is good, it shows that Beijing is expanding and going to be one of the most powerful country. Further, it may assist to attract tourism and investors to invest in China. However, due to the Olympic and the development in China, it seems that rights of human beings in China has been ignored. I watched a show 2 days ago about Chinese human rights which have been abused and abanded by its government and developers. In order to build new roads near to Olympic area, residents in the area have been forced to move from their houses and if they refuse, forces such as physical abuse. Some of activities who disagree with development n removal have been locked up in a place to prevent them to voice out their opinions. Even presenter of the show had been locked up for six hours and camera had been tried to be damage during filming the documentary. It appears that in order to make Olympic sucessfull, everything such as locked up , abuse are done to make it work, so is there really rights of human beings in China?
My cousin and I had just talked about situation in Indonesia such as corruption and its geographical area which is to wide for them to manage it. The geographical area is one of main factors to the existence of corruption in Indonesia as it is very difficult for the central government to manage the whole area. Other than that, the corruption in Indonesia has existed since Suharto regime so it may be difficult to abolish the corruption. These days, they do have an organization to prevent corruption in Indonesia but seems that the used of the organization is not really useful as corruption occurs in the organization itself. In my opinion, one of the ways to prevent corruption is to give independence to every state in Indonesia and they should provide annual reports to the central government every end of the year. However, according to my cousin, this is wht the government try to do these days but seems that it doesnt assist to prevent corruption in Indonesia. I think , in order to abolish corruption, initiation to do so must come from each individual, thus without their initiation to abolish/prevent corruption, it still will remain as corruption.
It is said that women have equal position as men/ women must be treated similarly to men i.e. equal opportunity in employment and in every aspect of life. I do believe that there must be equal opportunity but I do also believe that women must be treated with respect n dignity, we still really appreciated nice and a well gentleman. However, these days, it appears that it is hard to find nice and a real gentleman, some guys treat a girl nicely because there is something that they want from the girl. Well, there are still outthere nice guys but seem very hard to find ;p
the first well nice gentlemen guys that i can see so far/ in my life are my january intake 2006 family, secondly one or two of my friends' housemates and one or two of my groupmates.
