May 10 th , we had a field trip to Liyutan Reservoir in Puli, Nantou. It is a natural lake in the mountains. We walked around the lake and saw many beautiful scenes and some peacocks, rabbits in the fences. Also, the vendor told me there are some interesting legends about Liyutan Reservoir. Before we came back to school, I ate an ice pop with my friends, I felt relax in the breeze.                           

Nowadays, most of student must get at least bachelor degree if they want to work into a better company. 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. Because of working, they often have the less time to spend on their study than other students, that who don’t need to work and study at the same time. But with basic income, these students may not need to spend that much time on taking part-time jobs. Basic Income can be used for paying their tuition fee or rent. And if they want, they can use the money from part-time jobs to support their living expense or even quit the jobs. The students will have more time to pay attention on their study, have the longer time to take a rest and they can even get more time to keep their hobbies.

In the modern society, there are some serious problems that we need to pay more and more attention and solve them as soon as possible. And the decline of the birth rate is one of the important issue in all of the country. Many husband and wife nowadays have no plan to have children. There are some reasons cause this situation. One of the reason is due to the keep-rising price of everything. It cause most of them do not have that much salary to raise a child. So that’s why the economic pressure is the main reason that cause the low birth rate. But if with basic income and double pay from the husband and wife, this money may be enough to keep a child and deposit money to buy a car or new house. People can not only release their economic pressure, but also can even solve the problem of fewer children in our society.

According to the last article about Basic Income and Human Right, let’s have an in-depth discussion about it. Many people in the world need to work very hard just for a little money. They have no choice because they need money to buy some food, clean water and other things to support their daily lives. They often spend most of their time on their work, so that is the reason why these people can’t use their time to do whatever they are interested in. But with basic income, people will have a minimum income to get the elements which will maintain their lives. After they can no longer worry about how to survive, they may have the choices to choose the jobs that related to their specialties or hobbies. And they can even use their extra times to do some leisure activities like reading, watching movies or picnicking ,to name but a few.

    Basic Income  is a kind of public welfare which is from the government, and it paid for all the adults in the country every month to support their lives without doing any means test or work requirement.     Just like what I had said in the article about Human Rights. To maintain our most important human rights—the right to life, we need money to buy the elements like food, clean water, and more things. With basic income, we can not only support our lives, but also can improve the quality of life by working ourselves.     If the government implement the policy of basic income, the goods points are the problems about wealth inequality may be solved, and people may have more time to do whatever they interested in without worry about their daily life. But also, how does the government get that much money to pay for all of the adults in the country, and people will lose their work willingness, even cause economic depression or not are still the issues that the government needs
