Population Blogging

1) I'm feeling optimistic because the growths of population of our world in balance position now. In some parts of our world, population growths are zero, in some parts it is decreasing or slowdown and some countries population growths are increasing. So, overall it is in balance position.

2) Our resources are limited and in some parts of the world population growths increasing rapidely. If we do not stop this growth tendency, we will face a enormous food crisis, natural disaster or lack of funds to build infrastructure.

3) Industrial world facing population problem interms of fewer babies, aging problem, more immigrants and fertility problem. They should take initiative by encouraging family to take more babies and invite more immigrants people to keep the economy dynamic and make a balance budget between environment and economy.

Extended definination of Happinss

When my inner feelings satisfy with any real action, thought or believe, it is call happiness. Real happiness will come through sacrifice. This sacrifice could be your comfort, luxury or desire.

Male- Female Communication Patterns

In our lecture topics, the teacher discusses about the communication patterns of a male and female with some references including to author Derorah Tannen. According to her, there are big differences between the word used by men and women. Because of their word selection, sometimes a man and a woman has misunderstanding with each other. Further more, male always has a tendency of giving advice to his female partner and showing dominating attitude. Male always wants to make a distance and to show his personality. On the other side, female talks more and sometime make informal communication.

There are big differences between male and female in their culture. For example, the Americans are more straight forward in the talking then the Japanese. In another study, Deborah Tannen found a number of differences between a boy and a girl in their expression, attitude and pattern of communication with different ages. In another TV show in Austria, men try to dominate the floor even though women have the expert status in a specialized field. The audience also shows attention towards male voices. In work place, these diffencences are more visible because the environment is more structural and hierarchical. It is proven that female are given less importance in professional meetings and boss and subordinates relationship.

Post reading discussion question and answer for book project

1) I'm not fully satisfied with the books ending. Not really it pull the whole book together.
Some chapters, I really enjoy while reading like "An Insistent Tide". Sometimes I got the
answers by myself while reading.

2) The major themes of my books are professionalism in the fields of medical doctor and there
emotion, thought, love, hope, challenges, travels e.t.c.

3) Yes, this whole book gives some practical experiences which is reflects in real persons life but
all characters are not real.

4)The characters in this book are easily identified. In every pages, I feel like the author explains
his own feelings and characters around him very wisely.

5) I think the plot serves as the drama in my book. Some incident happen before but the author
explain it later in another chapter. We have to make sequence change then the whole story
comes with a shape.
