weblog#5:Drugs in Portugal: Did Decriminalization Work?

In my opinion, sometimes, the limitation of laws is less important than the thoughts of human beings. Take me for example, I usually have the strong desire to try something was forbidden by parents, because my curiosity will be risen when they told me to avoid doing those things. Therefore, I think lots of people just want to challenge the authority of government, and then do some illegal deeds for fun. As a result, the higher restriction was set, the larger amount of people challenge it. According to this psychology aspect, I think that Portugal government is the perfect example to other countries.

In this article, the author likes to mention the differences between United States and Portugal, such as the growth of drug abusers, and it has distinct meaning for readers. It seems that people who live in Portugal have more common senses of drug than people in United States, and we found that the law in America is much stricter than in Portugal. However, I think we still need to spend more time on observing the phenomenon which will occur in Portugal in the near future; because it’s possible that other country takes advantage of the liberal laws in Portugal to do something illegal on purpose.

weblog#4:Does Facebook Replace Face Time or Enhance It?

Faceboook is a popular issue nowadays. People want to record their life by using the trendiest way, surfing the Internet. Therefore, almost every student has a blog to express their feeling or school days. I still remember that when I first mentioned that floods of classmates like to renew their blogs every day, my mom said that “I cannot imagine that everybody wants to show their diaries to strangers! Why do they afraid their parents to read their diaries but putting it on the Internet?” Conversely, she likes to hear some gossip from me after I saw the blogs of my friends nowadays. My friends’ stories also bring fun to my mom.

Recently, I am fascinated with “Plurk”, a new function on the Net. Plurk is a mini blog pattern, just like the well-known one, “Twitter”. I make some friends from it, and I can express my mood on it no matter when. Best of all, I can follow the latest plans of my friends, and the friends will give me some advice after I renewed my plurk. As a result, I can understand that why people like to hang on Facebook for whole day long, because the feeling of connecting with others is irreplaceable.

To sum up, the high-tech stuff has influenced our daily life seriously, and lots of products are intended to improve the relationship between human beings. Perhaps the other software will show our daily life to others in the near future. (245 words)
