BIAS MEANS TO ME

  

The current moment bias consists of the need to save the pain for later and experience the joy and pleasure now. I would say that The Current Moment Bias is influencing my life. Everyday, I will consider what I am doing now will be good or not in comparative with what is good for the future. For example, the food that I eat will be effected to my baby while I am pregnant or not. If I drink alcohol, coffee and Pepsi like the normal people, it will really reduce my baby's growth or bad effects or not. Although, I really like drinking those breweries to compare the pain and lost in the future that I might have, I should stop everything now.

Young women would be better served by female doctors

Most young women are concerned about going to a hospital because they are worried they won't be able to see lady doctor to discuss their personal problems with. Hospitals do not make any special provision for the treatment of adolescents, and neither do they make sure that female medical staff are available to discuss health issues related specifically to women.

The writer would like to point to an incident that occured three years agao, when a seventeen-year old girl went to hospital to see a doctor about a small lump and pain in her breast. "I wanted to see a doctor because I was afraid I might have breast cancer," she said.

She was seeen by a male doctor in the gynacecology ward. She had asked to see a lady doctor but was told they were all busy attending to other patients. Having no choice in the matter, she was examined by the male doctor on duty. She said that the doctor spent about 30 minutes examining her left  breast, where she had felt the discomfort, and also checked ther other breast although she had not complained of any abnormality on that side.

In this writer's opinion, this is an area of medical service that needs to be addressed. Of course, this may not be seen as important in Western countries whre people learn about the human body from a young age. But in Laos, women are more mosest and feel very uncomfortable about being touched by a man who is not their regular partner.

The presence of more women doctors in these fields might help to encourage more young people to visit hospitals, especially for family planning services, which are poorly utilised a present. In addition, it might put a stop to complaints by women that doctors are unnecessarily touching intimate parts of their body, when it fact they are carrying out an essential physical examination. Once they have more women doctors in place, each hospital should run publicity campaigns to encourage young women to go to hospitals for treatment. It might also encourage more women to get annual check-ups for breast and cervical cancer.

Digital textbooks may erode culture of reading printed works

Many countries around the globe are seeking ways to develop reading to school students. Due to the influence of modern technology, the government is aiming to promote the use of electronic writing boards and to provide students with tablets. Although, in coming of new technology has led not only benefits to students, but also have some negative effects too.

There are several benefits of using digital textbooks such as tablets with video and audio functions. To begin, it is expected to stir the interest and grab the attention of children. Many schools have already begun using tablets with original software as learning aids. They have enabled students to study subjects in innovative ways such as practicing reading English aloud while listening to the correct pronunciations. Another benefit would be that tablets with functions to enlarge letters and read aloud sentences on screen help children with disabilities to understand subjects with referent to some observers pointed out.

However, the effects of this have not all been beneficial. Firstly, daily use of tablets may negatively affect the vision and posture of children. Children may become absorbed in using tablets also at home and they have few opportunities to read book. So that read less printed matter, it might erode the culture of printed works. Beside this, the government will shoulder all the related expenses including purchase and maintenance costs for tablets. Finally, some countries introduced tablets to classrooms have seen a series of troubles such as defects in software, lack of teachers familiarization with the devices and eye train.

In conclusion, despite the fact that digital textbooks has some benefits, but it has many problems. I think using of digital technology should be limited to learning aids.
