Technology in General: Facebook

Facebook is one of the popular social networking websites cover around the entire world, especially for teenagers or young adults, like me. This is one of the social methods that people can keep in contact easily through internet network (on air) with their friends, family members, relatives, or even boyfriend. It is a communication bridge for people keep or build up their relationship. For today's college students, Facebook has become as commonplace as school sweatshirts and dreary cafeteria food. But is Facebook good for college students? I believe Facebook is good for college students. It is a fantastic social networking tool, and can be used to help students communicate with each other about all kinds of things. Fall asleep in class and need someone's notes? Looking for a tutor or a study partner? Need a ride home for the weekend after hanging out? Wondering where the party is? Moreover, since many professors are on Facebook too, this may be a good place to ask a quick question about an assignment. Since many college students are away from home, another advantage of Facebook is that it gives students the opportunity to stay in touch. Students who are homesick can keep in touch with family members and friends back home, and students who are in long distance relationships can have an easier time feeling connected. For many students, Facebook is a valuable social networking tool. But it also truly does serve as a distraction that makes it hard to study. At any rate, Facebook has greatly changed how students interact on college campuses in a very short period of time, and until something else comes along, it appears to be here to stay. This amazing technology is moving us in positive direction for many students, but not all.

The Role of Education

Education is very important for an individual's success in life. Education provides pupils teaching skills that prepare them physically, mentally and socially for the world of work in later life. Education is generally seen as the foundation of society which brings economic wealth, social prosperity and political stability. Higher education helps in maintaining a healthy society which prepares health care professionals, educated health care consumers and maintaining healthy population. Education is major aspect of development of any modern society since if there is a deficit of educated people, then society will stops its further progress. Government should pay serious attention to education and support it economically and morally all over the country.

Education is the best investment for the people because well educated people have more opportunities to get a job which gives them satisfaction. Educated individuals enjoy respect among their colleagues and they can effectively contribute to the development of their country and society by inventing new devices and discoveries. Today's ever growing numbers of people mostly are not satisfied with their basic education and try to get secondary or tertiary education in order to meet the demands of contemporary society. Some of them enter higher educational institutions and some search additional information on the internet. Good People sacrifices their time and money and sometimes even their health to raise educational level because they realize that education is their passport to the future and for tomorrow.

Main purpose of education is to educate individuals within society, to prepare and qualify them for work in economy as well as to integrate people into society and teach them values and morals of society. Role of education is means of socializing individuals and to keep society smoothing and remain stable. Education in society prepares youngsters for adulthood so that they may form the next generation of leaders. It will yield strong families and strong communities. Indeed, parents taking an active role in their child education produce a willingness in children to learn. Education and society provides a forum where teachers and scholars all over the world are able to evaluate problems in education and society from a balanced and comparative social and economic perspective.

Education has a vital role to play in assisting students to understand their cultural identity. Education acts as the distribution mechanism of the cultural values such as it more layered the society and participate in society that carries the culture. In our culture today, there is a great emphasis on higher education. In a society, more educated you are, better off you are. Every society has specialized individuals that require extended education to fulfill certain main positions. These persons are normally known as professors, priests, doctors, mechanics or artists. Education has been a higher part of every culture on earth and education is a systemic project. Whole society should care for and support the education patriotism, cause and socialism among the young people.

California Public University Systems

Dear Governor Jerry Brown and the lawmakers in Sacramento,

I am a community-college student who is studying arduously to achieve my career aspiration through transferring to a 4-year university for getting a higher educational degree. In three years ago, I moved from Hong Kong to San Francisco, California, its purpose is to continuing my education under a better quality educational environment. In fact, I heard some bad news about the cuts to higher education in this last couple of years, that will cut off the amount of registered students and classes, the services on the campuses, and the overall quality of education. This seems a terrible illusion that is distorting my career dream indirectly.

Honestly, under increasing schooling fee already made me difficulty to continue my higher education, even though I can understand about the financial risk in California. But now, there are many decisions of changing California's post-secondary education system. When the class sizes are changed larger, the class instructors will have more students to teach and help. Hence, they might not handle that much, and it affects their quality teaching for us. When the essential services have been cut off, it makes me losing a quiet studying area in the library and also losing helpers who help me achieving my transferring goal as counselors, teachers, tutors from tutorial center, etc. It entirely decreases my valuable opportunity to complete my higher education.

Please cautiously consider this important decisions about California public university systems again.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Wing Yan Chung (Natalie)

The Right to Education

Education is generally of preparing people intellectually for mature life and developing the power of judgment. All people have a right to a quality education taught by qualified teachers. But what is the definition of a "quality" education? Does everyone think that a "quality" education should be taught by qualified teachers? In some undeveloped countries, people may think their "quality" education is only studying in some simple knowledge by someone who can teach. In Africa, people may think that could learning something is already their definition of a "quality" education. This education is better than hunting skills. They have their right to be educate either something besides hunting or hunting skills. In addition, people in Hong Kong will think that a quality education taught by qualified teachers, but there are not many qualified teachers in my opinion. Therefore, many of them think American education is their quality education. Hence, some of them chose to move out from their own country. Definitely, all people have their right to choose their "quality" education everywhere.

For exception, when the countries have no money to pay good qualified teachers, it will low down the quality of education and low the schooling test scores. Urban inner city schools should deal with this through training the rest of teachers well professionally. Hoping that those trained teachers should pass teaching tests to become qualified teachers. Then they can teach and create some good students to be tested with good scores. This is the only way to deal with this low financial situation which affects the quality of education, and also keeping the reputation of quality education.

Therefore, my major is interior design for now on.
