foreign workers

I read an article from a Korean. This article describes that this author is worried about the declined growth rate in South Korea. It seems not only happen in South Korea, but also Taiwan has this problem. This author worried that this kind of lower growth rate would make the fewer workers for his country in the future. He urged that his government should find more workers from another country. Yup…..Maybe it’s a way to solve this problem in a short term. However, this method still cost a lot.

Several years ago, I was a financial auditor in the accounting firm. I visited a factory, and I found the foreigners work in the extremely bad environment. They have to work in the painting room. Although this company offers the protector for them, it’s still not enough to avoid breathing the dust. I thought when these foreign workers earned enough money and went back to their countries. They probably would not in a good heath.

In Taiwan, there are more and more foreigners work here. They come from the low GNP counties. Some bosses offer them the bad dorm. They usually work in the extremely bad environment and work for a long time. In my opinion, the government must make a law to protect these guys. Also, the government should urge all companies to improve their working environment. This is not only for these foreign workers, but also help factory increase its manufacture level.

Oppose war, Love Taiwan

Hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese have marched to represent one of the articles of the anti-secession law today. Several days ago, China announced the anti-secession law. This law forces Taiwanese to be one part of China. Taiwanese don't have right to make their decision. Taiwan is a democracy area. How come China force Taiwan to follow their rule. China raises the military budget to threat Taiwan. China always say that all they want to do is to hit the people want to be independent. They won't hurt Taiwanese. But the weapon doesn't have eyes. Weapons won't choose the people want to be independent. Weapons will kill people. Please keep in your mind, China. No war No hurt. Please be peaceful.
The news related to the march today.

Mid-life crisis

Some people say 30 is a turning point. For me, it's just around the corner. I am a 27-year-old woman. It's really difficult to imagine I am so......."mature". I am still childish sometime. I still like to wear T shirt and Jean during vocation. I still enjoy going to party, although it's not easy to find friends to go with me now. I still can get the red envelope when the Chinese New year comes. When I go to department store, I still like to stop by the "toy area" to buy SNOOPY.

However, I start getting nervous because I think I have to seize "something". To be honest, I still try to figure out what I really want to be. What do I need?? I just think I should not be NOBODY nowadays. I am still an assistant in the "automotive company" at my home town. (It's a small town in the middle of Taiwan. It's a "tiny town" No shopping mall here. Nothing here) I decide to get a master degree sooner, but still need to struggle with enrollment exam. It's really a struggle life, special I am not young anymore. I am not sure whether AGE will damage the brain cell. (When I was a child, I was not smart at all. Therefore, I cannot figure out the changes) However, it seems a shame to talk about I am nervous if I cannot pass the exam.

I don't have a great job. I don't have the master degree. I am not in a good shape. I don't have a boyfriend. My saving account doesn't have enough money. See~~I really get nothing at this moment. People will tell you that you are not young anymore. (Especially in this small town, People are more conservative. People would say that you SHOULD NOT be a student anymore. You SHOULD work. You SHOULD get married. A lot of “SHOULD" become your GOAL. (You will think it is a goal because all the relatives will murmur every time when they talk to you.)You GOT to follow the rule; otherwise you will be A LOSER. How sad it is. That's the crisis of mid-life woman. Maybe, when they close their mouths the crisis will not happen.

My decision

I informed my boos about my leaving several days ago. I will leave this company for prepraing exam for the graduate school. My boss tried to persue me take a part time job here. However, I rejected her request. I start to take vocation. However, I decided to go to the office for a boring meeting this afternoon. To be honest, I have no idea what this company likes to held meetings so much. All I can do is sit there, but nothing important to listen. For my opined of view, every meeting is supposed to effective to solve the problem or present the current condition to the important managers and boss. However, this company seems Just waste time. These meeting don't solve any problems and they also don't present the current condition to significant people.
Whatever~~I don't belong to this company anymore. My boss told me that I could take a part time job before studying abroad. She also hope I can apply the graduate school in which is around Detroit area. The reason is that this company needs someone to stay in Detroit for handling the commercial issue. However, I will be the one to handle these issues. (I am not confident if I have the ability to stay and handle that. My English is still poor to communite with GM GUYS. I think they are pretty smart. Of course, that's why they can be the managers in that BIG company.)
My company already has the office in Detroit, but just one engineer is there. CJ, our engineer in Deriot office, has been to Detroit for a couple of months. I discussed with his condition there. He told me that our company doesn't buy the insurance for him. It's so ridiculous. I cannot imagine how people can live in the U.S. without any insurance. I think the company just wanna save money.....They don't care about the employee's right. How come I need to stay at this kind of company?? Of course, this is not the ONLY reason for me to quit. If I go to the Detroit area and work for them, I probably would be treated like that. Of course,this is not the ONLY one reason to describe their unrespectable attitude. Therefore, I think it's not necessary to stay this company. Even they can offer a part time job for me, it seems not necessary anymore.

TERRI - let her go or not

What do you think about this case?? A brain-damaged woman cannot decide her life by herself. Her husband made a decision that the feeding tube would remove from her body. She will be dead because she doen't have "the survival tool". I read a lot of article about this issue. Some people say Terri's husband should not order to remove the feeding tube. Terri has the human right to be survive. In the other hand, other people say that let Terris go. I completely understand that it's so difficult to make a decision. Terris cannot tell people what's her decision. Terris has the "right" to die. Also, she has the right to survive. Her husband probably is her closest person. However, we cannot ignore her parents' feeling. From my point of view, if one of Terri's relatives thinks the feeding tube shouldn't be removed from Terri. The feeding tube should not be removed. I think Terri belongs to her parents and her husband now. If her parents hope Terri should survive. Sure!! I don't like to see anyone feel depressed about this. I believe that Terri doesn't hope someone feel sad about this.
