SAU1 Blog Post 4 - Redefining and Living the Word "Optimism"

圖片
    Our lives may be sixty years, seventy years, or even longer. But no matter how long, we all will encounter some situations that looks not so bright, especially when we run into challenges, accidents or difficulties. For me, I believe that I can make things go better if I always entertain a hope in my mind. Always be hopeful is like a kind of faith that support me to face up to any troubles with courage. Compare to be anxious about the result, I prefer to be optimism and work hard during the process. Some people have said, ''Fear less, hope more, and all good things will be yours ! '', I regard this sentence as my motto, expect for a more wonderful future. Dictionary definition of Optimism: Hopefulness and confidence about the future or the success of something. New definition for Optimism: Be hopeful just as a kind of faith that support myself to face up to any troubles with courage.

But there are some problems during the course of their schooling.  some students need to take part-time jobs because they need to pay for the tuition fee, rent or to have extra money pay for their living expense.

Wealth Inequality and Human Rights

Last time, I had said that the wealth inequality is caused by the democracy. And this time, I’m going to talk about the severe wealth inequality and human rights. Wealth inequality means the extreme wealth disparity between the rich and the poor. The minority can own the most of the money in our society, and in other words, the majority owns the rest of the money. And how about the human rights? In my opinion, human rights are the legal entitlements that let us to have the opportunity to live equally. But what is the connection between these two? Actually, all human beings should be born free and equal in dignity and rights, but there are still billions of people do not have the opportunity to live equally. This is a serious problem that caused by money. For instance, to maintain our most important human rights—the right to life, we need food, fresh air, clean water and other elements to support our lives.
