Hey everyone! We have busy days, don't we? Don't you think we need to be healed?
As some of you know, I researched about animal assisted therapy for my research paper in Jennie's class last year. I found animals' amazing abilities to mend people then. Recently, I knew about "Wheely Willy". Do you know him? He is a veeeeeryyyyy cute chihuahua!! He can mend you.
Willy was an abondoned dog. When someone found him, he had cut vocal cords and useless hind legs. If present master had not adopted him, he would have been put to sleep. Luckily he was saved,and given a wheelchair called 'Canine Cart'. His master is an owner of a dog grooming business. She and Willy were called by many hospitals, and when she brought Willy to the hospital, many patients were mended. For many patients, Willy was hope. He's still fine and mends many people.
When I saw Willy with canine cart, I thought his legs were useless because of accident. However it was wrong. He was abused and abondoned. Recently child abuse is getting big problem in this society, and many peope take a close look at the issue. But how about animals? Actually I thought of animal abuse as a topic of my research paper last year, but I gave up this topic because I couldn't stand watching terrible webpages and books. I was sad when I saw the heap of furless dead rabbits. People deprived their fur to make rabbit coat. Can you wear luxurious rabbit coat after you see the picture of furless rabbits? Besides, I found a kind of madness in some of the pages. Also, when I had a debate about euthanasia, some group members found the information about animals who were killed because of their masters' selfishness. I was shocked at these facts. Animals' rights should be recognized more. Can you think of any reasons that let people kill animals? Don't you think that animals' lives should be cherished as well as peoples' lives? Who can answer this question; "Someone who killed someone will be arrested, but why someone who killed animals are not arrested?" Why?

Hellow everyone.
Now, we can live convenient lives by the grace of our high-tech society. Its biggest invention is mobile. Especially Japanese mobiles are like 'portable computers'. We can send e-mails, manage schedule, know the time, calculate, search for many kinds of information, play games, and so on. However I think most of us are addicted to mobiles.
Have you ever forgotten to bring your mobile when you go somewhere?? If you have, didn't you feel any anxiety then? Whenever I forgot to bring my mobile, I feel a sort of anxiety. It is because I get used to the convenience of mobile and rely on my mobile too much. I use my mobile to communicate with my family, friends etc. but once I left it at home, I feel the network between my precious people is suddenly snapped and feel lonely. I know my friends are my friends, even if I don't have my mobile, but I start to worry about the things which are goin on while I spend hours without my mobile. I think I'm afraid of falling behind my friends.
Also I realized too many people use their mobiles when they have nothing to do special. I think almost all mobile users have used their mobiles without any special purposes when they have nothing to do, like when they are waiting for trains. The sight made me feel a kind of fear. It seemed that people were controlled by the small, but clever machines.
In addition, I feel sorry and anger everytime I see the people, who don't have any manners, are talking at loud in public. And using mobiles near the priority sheets. I'm sure that all of then know that the electromagnetic wave effects on some medical equipment. Are they murderous?? No. They just don't consider the situation so seriously. However people who have medical equipment in their bodies are afraid of getting on (especially crowded)trains. To solve their trouble, the train companies should introduce 'non-mobile car' to their trains. I think it is dufficult for ban the use of mobiles on the trains because like deaf people, there are some people who really need mobiles with them.
So to make the present situation better, we need to think more deeply about our relationship between our mobiles and manner when we use our mobiles.
