Volunteering group blog post

  I have been volunteering as long as I can remember, as early as boyhood day when I was a boy scout day.  I undersatnd volunteering as doing something for no reward, to imporive of livelyhood of a person and or society,  and I do believe that volunteering is a vital aspect of human development that should be enshrined in the hearts and minds of every person as they grom up.

  However, I sometimes see volunteering being used as cover up by weak institutions and government or failed states who cannot provide the basic needs a tax paying community deserves.  Obviously this does not include times of natural disasters like 3/11, droughts as in Somalia etc...  But in normal circumstances with tax paying citizens, and all the health, eductaion, sanitary etc services being done by volunteer, whlist corrupt officials embezell government coffers.  This is particurlarly true of most third world countries.

Nuclear Society Blog Post

  I think in any serious argument about Nuclear energy today. the most politically correct side to be would the anti nuclear side.  So natural result in this atmosphere is the downplaying the uses and importants of nuclear energy * nuclear health, cheap energy, envronmenatally friendly energy, technologically adavncing academic discipline*, what we only concentrate on are the negative things *radio-active contamination, uranium disposal, Fukushima Dai Ichi, Chernobyl etc.

  I think a much wiser view would be to appreciate though fair and sound evaluation of the both the good and bad aspects of nuclear energy.  I am not saying that the negative aspects of nuclear energy should be ignored, no not at all, They are very serious and cannot be ignored.  I am only saying that they should be weighed without predertemined conclusions or special interests in mind.

Media Repersentation Group Blog Response

When the 3/11  disaster struck, I had just into a new apartment a few days earlier, so did not have a TV set and internet access as yet.

  My main source of information was through friends and Japanese mass media like Newspapers and the daily updates I saw on Train TV news.

  Whenever I got acces to the internet and TV, I really did not trust what the foreing media especially Fox News and CNN, as they seemed to blow everything out of proportion by their dramatic exaggerations.

  I am not a very big fan of social medis sites, so did make any use of Facebook. twitter etc..
