21st Century Persecutions, So Are We Ready For This? Part II

Not lot time ago, I wrote a blog about Christians being persecuted and I have an article there about a Christian that was charged because he was Christian.

Here is His Family 

Today, I read an article that other Christian were called in the courtroom to be charged.  Unfortunately, both cases happened in Iran.  

 Those are one of the most brave Christian living to day. They are not ashamed and not afraid to call them selves Christians. It is not that easy to be falsely accused  of a crime and be killed or put in prison when you know that you are not guilty.  Even thou I never been persecuted because I am Christian, I have relative that were. My uncle was charged during the Soviet Union and was in prison because he was a believer. The Soviet Union collapsed and there is not persecution there any more, however, there other parts of the world were Christian charged just because they believe differently  the main ideology of the Government or majority.

Evolution and Creationism - Both Have Religious Bases

Many Scientist are seeking the origin of life. They divide in to categories: Evolutionists and Creationist. The Evolutionists believe that all the living thing that we have today evolved during many-many years. The Creationist believed that the all living thing was created.

CHECK THIS VIDEO

The Evolutions believe that many years ago was a big bang from a dot like at dot on this page (.).  So the dot exploded and all the planets, stars, and galaxies were formed. It was raining on the Earth (a lot of rain) for many-many years and formed something like a soup. In the soup the life was formed. Those life creatures evolved and went through many changes until they became what we see today.

The Creationists believe that God (Higher Intelligence) created all living thing, planes and Galaxies. They have as a base the Bible.

 I believe that Evolution Theory and Creation Theory have religions bases. Even thou Evolutions believe that they have as base science, however when you go dipper in the theory you can see that it look more like a story. 

I believe that so far we don’t evidence that evolution happened. Yes, I agree that we have animals that have something similar, but that does to prove that evolution happened. We have many missing chains.

If you believe in evolution you have to ask yourself a question: “Why we don’t see evolution today?”  What I mean by that, if evolutions really happened that why we don’t have animals that are in process of involving. For example: if humans evolved from monkey that probably we should have half monkey half human creatures. 

Now, what story it is easy to believe, the organic soup and evolution created the todays living world or a Creator created all living creatures? Also, I would like to know what is the science behind evolution?

Conspiracy Theories Part I

Today, many people believe in conspiracy theories. Some theories are very interesting and make you to think, other are very strange.  The theories start from death of JFK, Marilyn Monroe that are kind of interesting to strange ones such existence aliens and that they are already landed on the Earth and control many governments. Moreover, there are other stringier such as David Icke’s theory that believe that many government officials are not human but reptiles. You can check his work on his site http://www.davidicke.com/

Even though there not answers to many of those theories, we just can speculate, I am posting few videos that talk about those theories. 

First video is about Marilyn Monroe, many think that she died not because of overdose, but because she was murdered, she knew too much.  She was very popular and affairs with many popular people even the president of the USA –JFK. 

or watch this video here: http://youtu.be/rEhWaQyvSwM

The second theory that I found interesting is the death of JFK.  Some think that he was assassinated by mob, other by JFK vice president Lyndon B. Johnson   or a rich guy from Texas. However, until this day nobody knows what really happened, many evidence were lost, so we have to speculate again.

 or watch this video here:http://youtu.be/ez70NPwy7GY

The third interesting conspiracy theory is 9/11. Many think that this was an inside job. That not few terrorist flying two airplanes destroyed the twin tower, but explosive that were placed the foundation of those to buildings.

or watch this video here:http://youtu.be/oig2hMh2pKg

 Note:  By posting those videos on my blog I am not saying that this is true, I just think is a good topic to discuss.
I am just curious what do you think about so please comment.

Check my blog later I will post  more videos and other conspiracy theories.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TOO!!!

Is American Education Model a Good Model to Follow?

Dr Zhao one of Education professors argue that education model in american is best than the most other countries. Even though, compare to other countries  the USA seems to rank low, our education system is better than Chinese  Education system. He argue that test score do not show the whole picture.

According to the Dr Zhao (in the book Catching UP) one of the most serious consequences of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is that it leads to homogenization of talents. While the purpose of education system should be to ensure every child receives a good education. Dr. Zhao says that NCLB defines good education if there good scores in a limited number of subjects and that don’t give students an opportunities to develop talents in other areas. However, if we will assume that NCLB works, we will develop a group of individuals with the same abilities, skills, and knowledge. American needs a citizenry of creative individuals with a wide range of talents to sustain its tradition of innovation.

The author says that to test only in few subjects can hurt student ability to develop their talents, However, I think that test motivate students to study. I agree if this principle is conducted in college where students are more responsible. Moreover, test such as in math or English are necessary because they are as a base for many other subjects.

 He talks more about all those issues on his webpage: http://zhaolearning.com/.

So let me know what do you think?

Is Virtual Reality a Good Place for Education?

                                                

We live in 21^st century with a progressively diverse, globalized and complex society. The 21^st century is escorted by drastic technological revolution.  Two or three years old boy may not be able to count, read, or write, but he will be able to play a video game, navigate through an iPad or an iPhone applications, or play on the computer. 

  Education has changed significantly in many areas. It went from pen or pencil and paper to computers and Microsoft Office programs, from the chalk and chalkboard to whiteboard, from face to face classes to distance learning. And now the question that seems to be attention-grabbing and not easy to answer is: what will be the education for the future? Researchers now talk not about only online learning (distance learning), but about something more advance called virtual world or second life. 

Hamlets

Virtual Reality Glove

The term Virtual Reality (VR) may have different meaning for many people. If for some VR is conversation books, movies and pure fantasy or imaginations for other VR is a specific collection of technology such as computers, glove input device, helmet, speakers, and so on. VR can range from simple environments presented on a desktop computer to fully immersive multisensory environments experienced through complex headgear and bodysuits. . In all of its manifestations, VR is basically a way of simulating or replicating an environment and giving the user a sense of being there, taking control, and personally interacting with that environment with his/her own body.

Is this you in the future?

Through various display devices such as helmet and glove input device, data is transformed into 3D images that you not only can see, but also hear or even touch. The users manipulate what is perceived to be “real” objects in the same manner as they would manipulate them in the real world, as opposed to the typing, pointing and clicking you traditionally use to manipulate objects when you interact in other computer environments.

Is this you it he future?

Is this you in the future?

 

The appearance or illusion that is created by the computer program and transmitted by the display devices seem so actual that human brain accepts it as a real environment. You may grab an object with your hands, lift it as you normally lift objects in the real world, and put it down wherever you want it inside the virtual environment. In other words, VR become as real as Real World.

 VR has traditionally been used to train military pilots and tank crews.  In many cases, the trainee steps into a simulator device, which is surrounded by screens that generate a 3-D image completely controlled by high-powered, computerized artificial intelligence. Today, new VR tools allow multiple participants to freely interact with each other in 3-D computerized environment. Training with VR allows large numbers of personnel to interact in a simulated face-to-face environment with other distant military units through the Internet (or through the classified network known as SIPRNET), and with first-responder units, civilians, and even medical personnel units, providing a training experience that is increasingly effective

 Education changed significant for the past few years. Today, we have more and more online classes.  Moreover, the number of online high schools, universities and colleges rose too. Often is possible to see or hear ads about online universities that became more popular for the past few years such as University of Phoenix, Kaplan University, American InterContinental University, and so on. However, the sifting from tradition education did not stop here. Today, researchers are taking about something more advance such as learning in virtual reality. VR was used until now for gaming, for social purposes such as chats, and military, but today VR is entering the education world. The use of VR technology for education purposes is still in the beginning stages.

So do you think that is possible? Could this be dangerous for society?  Or Could be this a solution for  some social problems?
