Recently,  there is a shocking news about China that the Chinese ruling party is to drop the presidency term limit, which is to say that the current president has a potential to stay in office for his whole life times.
In the 1982 consititution of China, the law states that a president could stay in position for two term maximumly, with each term containing five years. This practice is set by government officals of that time to prevent one-man dictatorship.
From my perspective, the removal of the presidential term limits has advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage is the this practice could improve governmental efficiency. Due to the lack of conflicting power against the leader, the leader could make decision efficiently and put it into practice as soon as possible. Addtionally, as long as the leader could make the right decision, the whole country is on the right path for further developments.
However, it has also disadvatages. First, the leader could make wroung decisions. Because of the lack of the opposing force, mistakes could not be amended. History tells us a minor wrong decision can put a country into risk. Further, one-man politics has a problem of power succession. If the leader is ill, that could be a tough issue to deal with.
In summary, whether this practice is good or not, I always hopes the best of my country.

Renee Descartes versus Paul D’Holbach

  The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment have created many well-known figures in different realm. As the spreading and development of the Renaissance idea , people got enlightened and developed different new thoughts about things in the world, just like the totally disparate ideas held by Renee Descartes and Paul D’Holbach in philosophy, religion as well as virtue; and although they were born in different era, different background, the thing in common is that those famous figures who introduced new theories to their realm must be the one who were influenced by Renaissance idea, like Descartes’ new theory in mathematics, physics and astronomy, as well as Holbach’s opinion in politics, which all reflected human creativity.       The opinions held by Descartes and Holbach in philosophy are totally different, for that Descartes is a dualist and rationalist, but Holbach is a materialist.

Recently, the supreme court declined Trump's act to end the Obama era program that aims to protect 700,000 immigrants from deportation. This means these illegal immigrans, called "dreamer", would stay in the United States legally. The reason that Donald Trump want to end the program is because he thinks it as an unconstitutional use of executive power of his predessor. He also thinks immigrants are a big threat to the American people and further development of the United States. From my perspective, the Supreme court's decision has its pros and cons. The biggest advanteage is that it protects the rights of immigrants from illegal wroungdoings by the government. Also, it is the embodiment of the American Dream. However, the disadvantage is that it might encourage illegal immigrantion. Illegal immigrants might become the source of crimes that make the society unsafe. Moreover, terrorists could fake as an immigrant and sneak into the United States and commit terroris...

GM Food—A Challenge Facing the Food Industry

“A genetically modified (GM) food is a plant that has a genetic change in each of its cells that a researcher has introduced. The modification may add a gene from a different species and thereby create a transgenic plant, or it may over-express or silence a preexisting plant gene.”(Ricki 2015) In the US, there is a long time debate about the safety of GM food since it has been introduced to America, for that it may be a new trend of future agriculture; but the GM food is indeed a challenge faced by food industry, especially for the farmers. Because some facts and experiments proved that the GM food may harm people’s health, contaminate other crops, and the FDA in the US has not passed the law yet to label the GM food to remind the customer, in this way the market acceptance is reduced and the farmers’ economic risks are raised. So the GM food may harm the benefits of both the consumers and the producers in the US food industry. The GM food may harm the health of people, for that w...
