Legalizing Red Light Business?

Today I heard a topic that I once thought about: should sex work be legal? So the person who raised up the topic related to sex worker said that some of them are university students who just want to earn enough money to support themselves and they would stop doing it after graduation. One quick question popped up to my mind was: is there any alternative jobs they can find? To me, doing other work sounds easier than being a sex worker. They can be a part-time salesperson at any stores, a cashier in marts, or an intern at a proper work place. Using financially supporting themselves as an excuse to be a sex worker just does not sound right to me. However, I do not mean that we should discriminate them or anything. There are people who are forced into this sector as well. My thought would be to help them out of this type of jobs. I don’t mean that discriminating them is right. They are human as well; we should respect them regardless of their career, skin color and social status. But I am ...

Money or Freedom

Day 3 The main goal of almost everyone is to earn money. Without money, it is hard for human to live in the system of current society. Most of the things we do everyday is to earn money to maintain our daily lives such as fulfilling our basic needs and buying a lot of unnecessary things which we suppose would make us happy. In order to earn money, most of us have sacrificed our freedom for it. We stuck in a 8 to 5 weekday work, occasionally take some days off to travel which we mostly call it an “escape” or “get away”. But why would we let ourselves stuck in a situation or work that we constantly want to escape from? Yes, money. It is the almost the first criteria that everyone consider when looking for a job. It is also the main standard for people to judge whether the person is living a good life or not. If someone earns very little, he or she would be viewed as having a tough life or being unfortunate. Even when we pray to gods or making a wish for ourselves or others, wealth is ...

Be Yourself?

Day 2 Yesterday I have mentioned about "be yourself" as an advise we often hear. It is a great advise indeed for those who are bothered by others' opinions and views toward themselves and thus lower their self-esteem. When we live only for meeting the expectation of others or the society, we lose our own selves. One of my hobbies is to watch anime (Japanese animation) which is viewed as childish cartoon by most people. Nevertheless, I had no problem sharing my passion and affection about it both online and offline, when I was younger. Now that I am working in a position that I have to be sort of an authoritative role in front of others, I was reluctant to express my excitement toward my own hobbies in front of others in order to maintain my so-call image at first. I think that revealing my playful side would make other think that I am less professional. However, one day, I was listening to "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi and the lyrics made me think the other ...

Anime Review: Akame ga Kill [Spoiler Alert]

Watching anime has been my hobby since I was young. It has slowly become my addiction, too. Despite my busy schedule, I always find excuses for myself to enjoy this sweet guild rather than school work. "Akame ga Kill", a twenty-four-episode anime is the latest I have watched. Bloody action, romance, and a bit of comedy, this anime tells a story of a killer association which is working for a revolution power trying to overthrow the corrupted country. The main character is a girl, Akame. Literally, her name means "Red Eye", and of course she has red eyes. With her long black hair, her weapon is a sword, which contain a curse killing the one who is cut immediately. I guess the production group could not come up with any cool names for the characters. The same thing applies to her younger sister, "Kurome", which means "Black Eye". It makes it weird that the sisters is genetically not match; one with black eyes and another with red eyes. Moreover...
