Reflection2

After the second meeting, I found when I started to think that giving feedbacks to other’s feedbacks is really hard, for I want to escape some questions which I think I have no ability or am afraid of doing such things. However, when I want to talk about this difficult and debating issue, it means the problem no longer interests me, but also has power to make me to think about the possible solution. Therefore, I have to regard this part as a necessary process that I have to go through. By thinking these challenging problem can make me clarify the confusion may happen or to be close to the understanding of others. Although I do not know the proper answer to each problem, I still try to figure out the possible proper answer.

  The change of my title may be very direct to convey my stand of euthanasia that I actually agree with euthanasia. I found out that I actually try to escape the declaration of my stand. I myself am also struggling with my stand. I am a lover of dogs, so I try to make myself against the practice of euthanasia. However, I can not deny the fact that I agree with the point of view that euthanasia is necessary and inevitable. This kind of power is the pressure, the force for me to face the dilemma I faced. Only when I face that can I touch the centre of the issue and make it as deep as possible.

  In my first two annotations, I tried to talk about the problem of euthanasia and the larger problem which caused the phenomenon of easily accessible euthanasia. In these two annotations, I want to make the problem more vivid to readers to make them realize the severity and make the discussion can be deeper rather than slightly touch the issue. I found that if I want my essay impressive, I have to find unique point that different from others before. However, whether using or inspiring is both difficult. However, I think I am continuing to make progress, no matter it is slight or large.

  In my last two annotations, I try to think up the solution to this problem. I can not just describe the problem because I have to make some devotions. Thinking up a solution is also a hard process because it has to be physical and accessible. If it can only come true in imagination, this will become useless. Therefore, I find out learning and improving from others is important.   

    

Reflection1

 When I first decided the issue I’m going to talk about, I had thought of many possibilities. Although I love dogs much, I am not really sure that I will be able to talk about this issue deep enough. At first, I had thought about some science topics. However, I finally decided my topic will be focused on stray dogs after I found that a piece of news which is many dogs died because of poison happened again. I have seen such things for many times, nevertheless, this news can be a spur to encourage me to go into this topic.

  After I decided the topic, another problem came out to make me confused again. Issues about stray dogs are too many for me to choose one to talk. Then I read a book which talks many things about stray dogs. I have to admit that it is a complicated book, and I felt even more confused about this big topic. After I read this book, I start to think about this question: Among so many aspects about stray dogs, which one can make me most curious about and can make me have enthusiasm to write about? I finally found about I’m interested about problems about life and death; therefore I choose euthanasia on stray dogs to be the issue I will take about during this semester.

  When I start searching for the sources I want to use for my annotation1, I feel quite nervous that my clip can not grasp the main idea about what I want to talk about. I simply want my readers to think about reasonability of euthanasia. Then I think about the way of euthanasia in shelter, after I watched my clip, I think that shocking facts revealed in this clip maybe can also change people’s original thoughts about euthanasia. Maybe people can also change their opinions about euthanasia. I tried to focus the cruel aspects about this clip. For the reason that I think human being are rational animals. Such things like that may be able to touch people’s hearts, raise their sympathy. This spur of sympathy can make me a chance to change their thoughts.

  When I write my annotation2, I want to find something related to the euthanasia, and I saw this news clip. Then a question appears in my mind: A simple decision human beings made may be nothing or unimportant for them, but it is really a serious problem for animals being made decisions. Because these decisions are about their life, about whether they can keep living or they must die. It also related to the problems about education, so I tried to make it simple. There are so many things to say, but make it simple is what I tried to do. After all, I do not want my focus become obscure. However, after the meeting, I think my article can be more focused on the education of professional people who do stray dogs an euthanasia to change the situation about this in Taiwan now. The main idea is when we compare these things with Europe and America; we can find there is a tremendous gap lagged behind. What is the reason we can not improve?
