Reflection on children with Asperger syndrome.

 
   There are pros and cons about autism or Asperger syndrome, autistic people are very talented in some specific area. Many of the great poets, musicians, and artists have Asperger syndrome, their works remain still significant today is the world. Unfortunately, autistic people are self-minded and are not socialized all because their thoughts are different than the others. The society needs different kind of thinkers, or brilliant thinkers, however there thinkers are often bullied and teased. They need our help to support their ideas, as the article has talked about a teen with Asperger syndrome stabbed another teen fatally. How possibly can this happen? My thinking is that the teen with Asperger syndrome has been bullying from a long time ago, he can not possibly stand the bullying anymore, and therefore he did a wrongful act...
    So far in the Kang Chiao, I think there’s only one person with Asperger syndrome, he is very different from everybody, and he is very talented in debating. Some people did derive his way of speaking. Is there a possibility that for a normal person turn into autism? Is it better to be an autistic people rather than an average person? I think the answer depends… It is hard for an autistic people to survive through school; they face many bully and teasers.
  The special education is pretty expensive; luckily there are foundations to help people with Asperger syndrome. There’s one in Taiwan called Kanner Foundation, we decide to go and visit this foundation on Saturday, hope we can successfully contact this foundation and is permitted to interview some people with autism. To truly understand autism, we must talk to them. By reading some books from authors with Asperger syndrome can also help us understand what autistic people’s thought.

Reflection on 100 years of Multitude

After reading this article, and knowing that Germans used eugene before, i felt angry. I think any race in the world has its own specialty, there's no right to think that an individual race is better than the others. Hilter even blamed on Jews that it was their fault to cause the lost of Germany in WWI. As a dictator, he then killed many Jewish people, known as the Holocaust. What a sorrow.... this is all because of the eugene!  Right now in the world, it is better to see that a country with different races and hold peace, however, in other countries the race problem still exists. It is just a problem that will never be able to solve,  just like reigion. From centuries ago, people are proud of their contry, the nationalism. That is the reason why people are so nationalistic and eugeneic.
