Lithuanian school are very different from my school in America that I go. First, in Lithuanian the teachers don't use letter grades such as A's,B's,C's,D's, and F's.  In Lithuanian schools the teachers use numbers 10 the highest grade that you can get and 1 the lowest which means you failed. There are pre-schools in Lithuania for kids and its up to the parents if the kids go to those preschools. After that the child must start 1st grade (its up to the parents what age they start either 6 or 7 years old.) From 1 st grade kids usually attend the same school until they're done with school. In Lithuania we didn't have school buses the kids either get dropped off by their parents or they would have to walk to school. School usually started at 7:30 in the morning and ended at 1 pm in Lithuania.  Lithuanian schools are way harder then American school because the teachers are more strict and the stuff you have to learn is more difficult then what you learn in American schools.  I personally like American school more then Lithuanian because the teachers are a lot nicer here and school is just easier. 

Extraterrestrial civilizations#3

The article I read is talking about according to foreign media reports, a group of Dutch science Recent research shows after we equipped with a new type of telescope we can detect the signal of life in extrasolar planet.
"Despite even remove our nearest star beyond the sun are 4.2 light years away, however, the substance of life activities manifested to be detected in its atmosphere, this signal is called "biomarkers gas .
 " The idea has emerged since the 1960s began, and now it will get the support to the latest telescope technology, the core idea of ​​this new type of telescope is to use a relatively low-cost foundation flux collection of telescopes to achieve the atmosphere of the extrasolar planets and collect high-resolution observations of the oxygen signal. The paper on the study will be published in astrophysics journal magazine on February 20."
The article shows it is able to detect the life in a planet which is far away. Human science and technology are developing to the universe and the outside world. we want to find other planet which is habitable after that we will know that there are many planet in the universe is able for human to live, we can move there when the earth is in danger or something. The Asteroid, Aerolite, and many things happen in the space can destroy the human easily. If we can find another planet we can live, it is more safe for the human.
After we find the life signal outside of earth, it is also a good chance for us to exchange with them and promote our science and our knowledge

Whaling in Japan # 3

                  After viewing the article about whaling from discovery.163.com, I learned that most people in Japan just ignored the protests that other countries giving them.There is a long history of human whaling, but unrestrained hunting like Japan and other countries,directly result the sharp drop in the number of whales. Especially like humpback whales, minke whales in these rare cetaceans have been on the verge of extinction list, the 13 whale species  have endangered in the world. Japaneses whalers think if people blindly over protecting whale then it may jeopardize the survival of other smaller fishes.But the truth is that the natural ecological system has the ability to self-regulation, and it will not develop the species extinctions between cetacean prey fish and shrimp , ecological system can automatically adjust the state of harmony and balance the marine organisms. As the senior presences on Earth, people of this earth have the dominated possession rights,but we also should take the responsibility for loving earth and not to destroy it.

Raid Al-Asad the Leader of the FSA

The FSA (Free Syrian Army) I read this article and I learned about when did they create it (They create it in 27, June 2011). Also I learned who create it ( The leader is Raid Al-Asad). They try to protect the peaceful protests from the government Army, and they try to destroy the government buildings. The FSA support by the Syrian people because the FSA is the most important part in the Syrian Revolution. They also try to have support from the Arabs Countries, and from the European Union. The Free Syrian Army located in south Turkey. The soldiers who want to leave the government army should go to South Turkey, and then they join the FSA.

How technology harms people? #3

Everywhere you go and everywhere you look, people are using technology. Some are being glued to their phones others to their laptops or computers. According to the article "Is technology harming our communications skills?", there is a statistic that says 80% of the population in the United States is using internet. They spent 17 hours a week being online. Many families have more than one computer.

Another interesting fact is that people stopped communicating face-to-face instead they are texting or being on Facebook/Twitter. Nowadays we are so dependent on technology, in some ways it is helpful to the society. It made it possible for the people to stay in touch with their friends or family who live far away. Now we can find important information that we need, quicker and more accurate. But there is a bad side of all this, technology is one of the reason why some people have trouble communicating. People spent so much time being online and forget about the real life outside the virtual world. It might also harm our writing skill at school or work by using abbreviations of some words. We have to have some limit and not use so much technology, otherwise we might harm our relationships with people.

What Makes Society Just????????????

What Makes Society Just?

There are lots of reasons which make a society just. First of all it has to do with a ruler. A ruler has to be great and should do things that are for the good of society. However, if a ruler does not do things that are good for the society, there might be some fatal consequences, people would go crazy and would do things that would put others in big trouble. A ruler is responsible for lots of things. Overall, his main responsibility is make sure that all the citizens are happy and are able to make ends meat. However, a ruler has no right to get in control of someone else's or house because he/she was the one who worked day and night, hours after  hours, minute after minute to take his company to the top. He/she was the one who did all the hard work and spending to get a house for himself so there should be no reason why a ruler should be responsible for those types of things, otherwise it would lead to things that nobody would every imagine of. Things that would drastically change the life of the ruler.
Every person is naturally born good but there are some things that make them change their minds and become bad. Things that significantly alter they environment. BAD is not even a good word to describe people like that, those people are crazy and nobody would ever know what s going on their minds. There is no such word to describe people like that because those people don't think about the citizens, they just think what can be done in-order to alter they society according to their prospectives. In some time in life everybody comes to a situation when he/she has to make a decision and the decision leads to a good path or a bad path, people who chose the bad path off-course turn out to be bad whereas people who continue with that good path would later on turn out to be very successful in the upcoming future because those people choose to take the hard way. Fact is that if you take the good path, it'll only be hard for you at that moment and then everything would be easy however if you take the bad path, it'll be easy for you just for that moment but later on you'd have troubles throughout your life. Relationships also behave the way people are because there are some friends who like to go to take a different path than what you want to take, but somehow the friend might convince you and so both will take that path. Who knows what that path has in-stored and you'll realize it when something happens that would alter you and your friend.
 Another thing what makes society just is when government makes the wealthier pay more taxes than low and middle class people. This is actually a really good strategy to make a society just because not all the people can pay the same amount of tax because some people are so poor that they hardly make ends meat. So due to this governments make pay the wealthier pay more taxes because they make a lot of income and because of that they are able pay that amount of taxes. Honor means people who have done something good for the society or something and due to that they get honored and get rewarded. I personally believe that honor codes don't really tell how a person behaves because that person might just be pretending to be a good person in front of others so that he/she gets honored or something. But in reality that person does not have a good behavior. It happens a lot in current society as well. People just pretend to be so nice from the outside but from the inside there is so much hatred built inside them that they do horrific things. Lastly what makes society just is when you fight for justice, only then a society would be considered to be just.
