Migrants picking up our bad habits too

Notes
  • Immigrants come for a better life
  • immigrants children get the australian growing problems
  • immigrants children may swamped in mainstream's lifestyles
  • immigrants children get obese
Summary

immigrant in australia often believe that they came to Australia for a better life of their children. but news research reveals that those children get chronic disease of overwieght or obesity in australia. it has said that "even the heaviest first generation Asian immigrants are lighter than the heaviest Australian,"this statement  suites particularly Asian immigrants. Bruce Hollingsworth said that change within one generation is pretty fast. he further said that it may be bacause immigrants children do not eat thier own traditional food and do not do exercise. Moreover they may be affected by their peers.later they overwieghted. those shows that immigrants children may assimilated by the Australian lifestyle.

Personal Reflection:

I think, most of the people changes their habits and lifestyle according to the passage of time and the enviroment they live in. this may happen deliberately or without having the knowlege. for example if the immigrants children do have the knowledge of advantages and disadvantages of some processed food ,they may not be obese because the know....but if they do not know and follow thier peers they may be overweighted or obese. therefore having knowledge about our healthy food definitely change everyonse life.

  3. Veils creat security obstacle
Summery:

The women who wear full-face veil are not allowed to registered themselves in Syrian Universities. the Syrian news reported that the students who study in secular universities request that veil should be baned because it creat security obstacle.

Personal Reflection:

From what I am understand, wearing burqa is women's choice. Some woment get used to wearing burqa or veil. They may wear the burqa for religious believe or cultural reason or choice. in addition to those reason. some of them may wear burqa because their husband make them to wear. Therefore,  today the issue of wearing burqa is very confidential. it would be prefreble, if the burqa should not be imposed on women.The burqa should be free choice.

Note:
  • The Labor  government gives school $100,000 rewards
  • both developed and developing schools will be funded
  • Greg Whitby Executive director of schools may give bonus to teachers according to the teaching performance
  • It is difficult to judge teachers

The Labor government is going to fund schools with bonus of $100,000. It has been announced that Labor government will not fund just the developed schools. It gives rewards to the developing schools too inorder to lead to improve. As the Greg Whitby the Parramatta Executive schools director state that teachers will be rewarding according to thier teachings performance furthermore said that it is hard to judge teachers becuase an academic student is the results several teachers not one.
Personal Reflection:
From what I understand,education is the essential parts of the humane life becuase it leads human in high level of developments. It is good idea that the Labor decides to invest more on education in order to encourage the developed and developing schools.
