OPEC to cut output by two million barrels

In my opinion, I think, in this technology period. The oil is the major variable of the economic alteration, because the oil is the energy that people always use and most of machines have to use this energy. In the same time, people have to use that machine to finish their goals, especially, transportation. People use this way to achieve to their business. If they are lick of oil that mean their goal cannot be success. So oil is the only thing that people always cannot do without. Every time that OPEC says that they will cut output of oil. To our, it is a big problem and it is the time that we must be worry.


According to OPEC will cut in its oil production target of about two million barrels a day. It must have a great effect upon economy, because oil is the principal of manufacture and service. Then it makes the economy all around the world decelerate. On the other hand, the goods become more and more expensive rapidly. In addition, to cut output by two million barrels that must mark up the cost of oil. The affection of that the oil’s price has increased continuously day by day, hence, it makes inflation rate increase quickly. Most of people worry about these, including me. (218 words)

Dogs Can Feel Envy, Study Suggests

My reaction:
The first scientific study to find envy in non-primates affirms what many already know: dogs can get jealous.

In my opinion, dogs can feel envy that doesn’t make me surprise. I have seen the dogs that express envy behavior obviously, that including my dogs. When they saw I was scratching the other one’s chin, they often came to me and asked to scratch their chin too. Sometime they went straight to the dog which I was scratching its chin and fought it. Then I realized in that time that they envied it. I have heard for a long time that the dogs are the most thankful animals. They often help and protect their proprietor, like Pao my dog. It was a good hunter. It usually hunted rabbits or jungle fowls for my father. I was curious why it didn’t eat them but gave them to my father. One day, it held the banknote between its lips when it came back and gave it to my father. The banknote was plenty of rips, because of its teeth. Once again that I was curious how it knew that was money. Now I suspect that why people say the dogs are stupid. Because I think it is not.
To every Buddhist we believe that the living thing has feeling. For instance, I have seen in some advertisement that the cow’s tear was flowing when they was brought to slaughterhouse. In some proverb, the tigers don’t eat their kids. Personally, I am curious about that the animals have feeling but it not complicate, or it’s complicate but we don’t know how it is, and animals’ evolution.( 254 words )

Zimbabwe riot police charge protestors

http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4B21XI20081203
My reactions:
Zimbabwe riot police wielding batons charged protesting union members, doctors and nurses to disperse demonstrations on Wednesday as the country sank further into crisis.

In my opinion, the riot is very terrible. It seems a little war. So, this situation I think it is very common, it always happen many struggles between police and protestors. Whether the police is the charger or defender. But there is high possibility for police to be victims. Why? Because the police can’t harm the population, then they got hit easily. Even they did, they have to be punished by the rule too. Those are the reasons why I pity them.

Why the riot has been created? Personally, I think it’s because they don’t like the government and want them to quit. The second one is the Economic problem. For example, the goods become more and more expensive, the low wage and the high living expenses, the flood of goods. Then they want the government solves these problems. If the government doesn’t achieve their desire, it is the beginning of riot or protestation. In my country, there is a mob who called themselves “The alliance of population for democracy.” And I am very curious about them. How their democracy is? Because their actions are opposite to the meaning of democracy. They don’t accept anything. In addition, everything they want must be achieved. If not, they always do something terrible and cruel to coerce government until their desires be successful. It seems their suggestion, their opinion, their idea are correct. But other 65 million people are wrong and less important than they are. The most shameful is their got money of this thing. (253 words)
