1.Some people like to work in a team. Others would rather
work individually. Which do you prefer and why?
As we know,“When everybody adds fuel, the flames rise high”. In my opinion, I prefer to work in a team. Because there are many advantages of group working.
Firstly, In a team, we can share our opinions and brainstorm when we want to do some plans or activities, which is time-saving.
Secondly, we can cooperate with teammates to solve problems easily when we met some difficulties.
Thirdly, It`s convenient for us to get information and learn something we don`t be familiar with from people surrounding us.
Above all, I think that working in a group is more interesting and urge me to work harder.
2. Please comment on the following statement: Computer
ethics contribute to a better and safe use of computers in our daily life.
With the rapid development of technology, the computer plays an essential role in our daily life. When we are enjoying the big convenience of computer, there is also a serious network security problem that we can't ignore.
Network moral crisis of the users, which resulted from dislocation of network morality, is the universal problem in network society. Some kinds of cyber crime emerge. Such as attacking other people's computer systems, stealing other people's classified files and spreading false information, which are unethical. Our information faces a series of problems. Therefore, we need to establish ethical standards, laws and regulations to ensure network civilization and security. Only in this way can we have a healthy Internet Environment. So, computer ethics contribute to a better and safe use of computers in our daily life.
3.Why are we loosing productive land? How shall we
address the land problems?
Each year more and more land becomes degraded. We are losing productive land. New dry areas are developing and expanding. I’m talking about new dry areas, areas where land has been declining in quality.
The first is overgrazing by farm animals. Overgrazing, overcutting, and farming methods.
Second, overcutting of trees also contributes to the loss of good land. The main problem is too many trees are cut and not replanted. There is nothing to hold the good soil. Wind and water carry the good soil away and it erodes quickly, leaving land that is dry and less productive.
Third, Population is increasing, Contaminated land will not be used for production. Example Fukushima nuclear leak （福岛核泄漏）
1. Set up some organizations , that are working to help countries or communities look at their special problems and figure out what possible changes they can make to protect their land.
2. Strengthen pollution control, reduce pollution, especially difficult to control pollution
3. Scientific grazing, Improve land utilization.
Of course, it is important to rely on the government's active land policy.
4. Are you for or against the wide application of DNA testing?
As we know, DNA which to some extents determines what we look like, what we like to do, and what our future will be.
Due to the information that DNA contains, scientists have found a way to identify possible genetic relationship between two persons, which helps people find their lost children or ancestors.
What`s more, DNA testing can be used for criminal investigation. The policemen can easily find the suspect by detecting the DNA in the hair of something else that is part of the suspect`s body.
