Part I My Views Campus Security
On-campus crime can seriously students’ lives.
When students are constantly worried about their own
safety or the safety of their property, they become
upset and quality of their work suffers. Theft or
burglary may well leave a student in financial
difficulties and those who are physically wounded may
live in fear for years to come.
Of course there is no absolute protection from crime.
However we still can pull together to make our campus
a safer place. For instance, the students and the
university staff could work together to watch out for
all suspicious people or unusual events on the campus.
There should also he more security officers to patrol

the campus, especially at night. In addition to
strengthening our vigilance, the use of crime
prevention equipment and taking sensible precautions
can also reduce the risk of crime significantly.

Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs
useless. Early in his childhood, he learned that unless
he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations,
he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in
making a living on his own, he could not wingain the
respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for
his dignity as a human being.
Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down,
before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a pizza
Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a
sportswear company in a territory no one else would want.
Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his

1. At his mother’s funeral, the writer swore that one
day he’d do something about conditions like hers.
2. One night the writer went out for drinks with
another gentleman whose father had died of ALS. They
talked about their parents then and wanted to do
something as a legacy for them. The stem cell research
company Stemagen thus came into existence.
3. They were concerned about the reproductive

possibilities of cloning when Dolly was born.
4. Human reproductive cloning is ethically wrong
because the majority of reproductive clones in other
species are actually abnormal, with very high
miscarriage rates, very high stillbirth rates, fetal
anomalies, death soon after birth, et cetera.
5. The writer shows a positive attitude towards
therapeutic cloning. He holds that therapeutic cloning
does not involve any type of risk to human life and
actually provides tremendous potential for the relief
of suffering in human beings who are undergoing some
awful things.
6. The writer honestly thinks that someone will
attempt human reproductive cloning and there is no way
to stop it.
7. Because by doing so, they could make cloning very
real so that people around the world know that cloning
is coming along.
8. Their purpose in creating disease-specific and
person-specific stem cell lines is to study the causes
of specific diseases, and then research a variety of
treatments for these diseases. If the stem cell lines

are created for any given individual and are later
transplanted back into the individual, they will not
be rejected by the individual.
9. The writer holds that in reality it is transcendent
because when you look through the microscope, you see
what you may have looked liked a long time ago, at least
in part.
10. It brought tears to his eyes because the research
was done for his mother, and he realized that if she
had only been able to live a few years longer, maybe
they could have used this technology to help her.
11. In the process of analysis, the embryos were
destroyed by necessity. In other words, to get the
genetic material from inside the cells to analyze it,
they had to destroy the cell.
12. Because the writer thinks that logically, an embryo
is not life, although it is a potential life. The vast
majority of embryos never become life—they just
generate, don’t implant and die.

Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment
by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997. A fierce
debate on human cloning has ever since been going on.
This contentious issue has focused on ethical and
social implications of the technology: what the
technology might do to the very meaning of human
reproduction, child rearing, individuality, et cetera.
The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to
reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning
for treating diseases. The reason is that therapeutic
cloning does not involve any type of risk to human life
and actually provides tremendous potential for the
relief of suffering in human beings. Scientists believe
that with policies and monitoring in place to ensure
that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all
benefit from this procedure.

Why People Work
Some people think they work because they have to make
a living. They dream about a life all play and no work,
a life endless vacations and holidays. They look
forward eagerly to their retirement, when they can
enjoy the fruits of a lifetime’s work without any
toiling or sweating.
But is it true that money is the only, or the main
motivating power that drives us to work If one takes
a look at the people around him, one may have second
thoughts. In many well-to-do families, the wife still
hangs on to her job. Many retired people take on
volunteer work, and even children enjoy the feeling of
being helpful by doing what they can. To them at least,

work has a different meaning. It satisfies another
human need, different yet no less basic. It is the need
for human dignity, the need to be respected, the need
to know that one is helping to make the world a better
place to live in.
Deep in our hearts, we all have this desire, though
many of us may not be aware of it.
