The Wikipedia is very popular right now. It likes Google and Yahoo that you can search information as quickly as you can. Also you can put your opinions on it. It is very useful and quickly to find some sources, but it also has some bad influences. The first one is the Wikipedia gives people too much freedom so every people can write anything on it. The second one is the Wikipedia gives people unreal information sometimes. The third one is the Wikipedia affects education of school students.
The first one is the Wikipedia gives people too much freedom so every people can write anything on it. The Internet is the other society so we should keep it clean. If people get too much freedom, they can write some bad discussions and put it on Wikipedia. When people look at it, maybe they will believe it. Wikipedia articles can be written and put their articles by anyone at anytime (Wolverton, Wikipedia, Vanguard, 2007, Para, 7). People can put violence information and instigate people to against the government, for example, some people want to separate Xizhang out of China so they put said that they will try to rush torch of Olympic game right now. Some people believe their opinions and commit crime so Wikipedia should limit people’s rights.
The second one is the Wikipedia gives people unreal information sometimes. Anyone can put their articles on the Wikipedia so some information just depends on people. Maybe they will change something to prove their opinions. You don’t need real name and all of your personal information so people don’t afraid that police will find him one day. “ The internet will never be like the school library. Nor should it be. Its value as a communication medium lies in its openness and diversity”(Lengel, 2006, Para, 12). It is not like library book, or in the newspaper, or on television because all of this media are well mediated (Lengel, 2006, Para, 12).
The third one is Wikipedia affects education of school students. The Wikipedia supports too much information and sources that students can easily get what they want. “This website has grown into an immensely useful resource for background information on a wide range of scientific subjects, and can serve as a quick reference for any number of scientific facts” (Parry, 2008, Para, 6). They do not need to think too much by themselves. Students had poor skills of assess the relevance and authority of information sources by themselves (Bilodeau, 2008, Para, 11). Students will become lazy of thinking how to independent thinking and they just pick information from the Wikipedia. Sometimes there is some unreal information in it.
Although the Wikipedia is very useful in our life, we should know how to separate good information and bad information. The Wikipedia should limit people’s rights and keep the website clean. The teachers should help students know how to think and pick ideas by themselves.

Greenwashing is very bad for society
Greenwashing are very common right now. No matter it is a big global company or a small personal company. They use advertisements and celebrities to make their products as “green”. There are three disadvantages of greenwashing. The first one is consumers are tired of “green” and they don’t believe products. The second one is people do not want to change greenwashing and they become adapt to it. The third one is greenwashers become more crazy and only put their eyes on benefits.
The first one is consumers are tired of “green” and they don’t believe products. “ It’s little wonder that some consumers are experiencing whtat the Tennessee-based consumer research firm The Shelton Group calls “ green fatigue.” (Greg Campbell, 2008. Para. 8). All the companies use greenwashing and all of products are “green”. Can you believe that? Consumers have know become lose their confidence of products. “ The proliferation of “green” products- remember the chewing gum – remember the chewing gum- has distracted consumers from the important choices that could really make a difference, rendering them largely “clueless” about how to affect change.” (Greg Campbell, 2008, Para. 20).
The second one is people do not want to change greenwashing and they become adapt to it. If greenwashing is very common in the world, consumers will think it as usual. They will not want to change it. “ Few people are taking action to deal with the threat of climate change, although over the past 12 months the vast majority have come to accept that it poses a real threat to the world.” (Juliette Jowit & Robin McKie, 2007. Para. 2). If people do not change greenwashing, it will hurt human rights. Companies will lie to consumers and their products are not “green”. In the end, greenwashing will become right because no body want to change it.
The third one is greenwashers will become crazy and just put their eyes on benefits. If greenwashing can help companies make more benefits and people do not against it, anyone will work hard on it. On the other hand, they will do more greenwashing that can hurt consumers. “ Greenwashers manufacture and market popularity. If it’s manufactured fast enough, it doesn’t allow green consumers the time to check and raise concerns about the authenticity of corporate claims.” (Environmental Leader, 2007. Para. 2).

Greenwashing Is Very Bad For Global Ecosystems
According to “Time to stop the greenwashing.” Glen Barry said global economic healthy developing depend on global ecosystems. We should pay attention on destroying ecosystems and stopping greenwashing. The companies use greenwashing to earn more benefits, but governments do not have enough laws and policies to limit them. There are four ways to stop greenwashing and get ecological living. The first one is we need governments build some new laws and policies to limit pollute in environment. The second one is we should give environment time to rebuild. The third one is we should use new technology to change vehicle and reduce pollute in ecosystems. The last one is we should study to live frugal because we should know how to last our living.
The first one is we need governments build some new laws and policies to limit pollute in environment. Companies use greenwashing because governments don’t use law to limit them, so policies are very important. For example, laws said people mustn’t build chemical factories near lakes so the water scarce and atmosphere are very good. Laws and policies are control people’s behaviors.
The second one is we should give environment enough time to rebuild. Resources are easy to use up, but hard to regenerate. Although ecosystems can clear our pollution by itself, it also has its maximum. For example, gas and coal are unregenerate resources, we will use it up one day, but when we burn coal and gas make a lot of carbon dioxide. It will cause earth worming which is very big and hard problem right now.
The third one is we should use new technology to change vehicle and reduce pollute in ecosystems. A number of cars are running everyday so million of carbon dioxide and sculpture discharge into air. We should buy some new technology cars to reduce this pollution. For example, you can buy hybrid cars that use gas and electric. It can save your gas and more clean than normal cars. New touchingly is not only reduce pollution, but also reduce resources and cost.
Finally we should study to frugal. The resources are limited, we will use it up one day so we should know how to make it longer and more useful. For example, there was a biggest opencast in Shandong China in 40 years ago, but government do not know frugal and excessive exploit. Today there is now coal and earth’s surface has sank. We should study ecological living.
The greenwashing is very common in the world. The ecosystems are faced a big challenge right now. We should think about how to stop greenwashing and rebuild our ecosystems. Greenwashing is big problem that we should solve right now.

Is that good to play Internet and TV games?
I am interested in weather play Internet and TV games are good after reading some articles. There are different opinions, one group of people criticizes it, other people support it. According to “Game over for China’s net addicts” people criticize it because games like drug, young people are addicted on it. There are many problems that are caused by net games, such as suicide and juvenile crime, especially for some violent games, if you take long time to play children will like living in invented world and they will lose their goals and their dreams. I always hear education organization criticize it in China. According to “Move, baby, move … healthy kick in video games.”(2008) Julie Robotham said it is good for children’s health. It can improve children’s blood pressure heart and help them lose weight. While children playing games, their heart rates and breath become faster. Furthermore their heart get more useful excise and become much stronger. Children play games is batter than watch TV because when they always compete and fire their calorie. On the other hand, it is best way to lose weight.
In my paper, I plan to argue with people are limited children to play TV and Internet games. First, children have their right to pick what they want to play and it is also a best chance to let them separate something is good or bad. Second, Internet games are one way to dismiss time, parents should teach the best way to play it, not just stop them to play. Finally, the games companies shouldn’t create so many violent games and government should build new law to forbid violent games.
I have found a lot of articles to tell us what are advantages and disadvantages of Internet games. Also, I have found many useful websites that will help me talk about how to prove my opinions. I still need an article about what do children think about Internet games.

Monopoly and Oligether
Monopoly means there is only one company in a products producing area. For example, there just have one shoes company such as Nick so all the people wear Nick shoes. The government will use anti-trust laws to fight monopolies because the Nick can decide whatever price they want and company’s target is profit. If they can control whole the market, they will not think weather poor people cannot afford to buy their shoes. If people cannot wear shoes, they will travel around and change a new government. The consumers also have their way to against monopolies. For example, consumers will get together to travel around near company and get together against their products.
Oligopoly means there are a few companies in a products producing area. For example, the Shell, Morrow and other oil companies get together to control gas price. They will give same high price and some people cannot afford it. On the other hand, poor people cannot use cars or what relate to gas. People will angry and travel around. People also get together and do not buy gas and other oil products. Maybe some days later, all the companies have to reduce their price.

MY FEELING OF CARBENDALE
Carbondale is a small town of Illinois. Although it’s near Chicago, it is not as developing as Chicago. SIUC is here, so it looks like a university town. There are not so many interesting places such as bar, showplace and shopping more. The population of Carbondale is 25597, so it always quiet on the streets. At the first month when I been here, I think every things are very funny, because this is my first time to go abroad. After three mouths, I think Carbondale is very boring. There are not so many delicious restaurants and also a little expressive. In Carbondale people are very kind, church support us free lunch and invite me come to celebrate Christmas. The most different between Carbondale and my hometown is I feel I live in natural because green trees, beautiful birds and a number of animals are around me. CESL teachers help me a lot, not only English study, but also life problems. I made so many international friends in CESL. I like live in Carbondale.
