Social Media Safety

During the presentation, I learned that any of the media is not 100 percent safe. Some people can get our information which we shared on the internet, even they can find something privacy. They have ability to hack in our camera and then they will know everything happened in our living room. That's sounds horrible but these phenomenons really exist.
To keep my safety of media, I sell my phone and computer. If I want to protect my students, I will sell their phones and computers.
In my opinion, the presentation is really useful for helping us to be aware about we are kind of exposed.

Lest We Forget

As many know, August 4^th marks the 100^th anniversary of the start of World War I. Canada’s participation in the First World War shaped the country and Canadian identity. More than 650,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the First World War, with more than 66,000 of them losing their lives. While traditionally, the Legion does not commemorate the start of conflicts, in recognizing the significance of this historic milestone, we are offering some suggestions for ways you can commemorate and Remember.

Every year on Remembrance Day I think about my grandfathers, father, uncles, and the 6,000 First Nations soldiers who served alongside the Canadian Forces throughout the First and Second World Wars.

These men and women were not Canadian citizens and not subject to conscription efforts. Regardless, they volunteered and stood as allies with their settler brothers — nation to nation — in defence of the land and our collective freedoms. They made valuable contributions to the war efforts and earned more than 50 medals throughout both conflicts. 

Our soldiers fought for the shared values of freedom and democratic rights for all. However, these soldiers returned from the war and quickly realized those freedoms and rights did not equally apply to them as they did their non-native comrades.

Halloween

Halloween or Hallowe'en (/ˌhæləˈwiːn, -oʊˈiːn, ˌhɑːl-/; a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"), also known as Allhalloween. All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It initiates the triduum of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.

Hong Kong Protest

 Hong Kong 2014 pretest also known as "Umbrella Movement" or "Umbrella Revolution", began in 2014 September when activists in Hong Kong protested outside the government headquarters and occupied several major city intersections after the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) announced its decision on proposed electoral reform. In disallowing civil nominations, the NPCSC made it clear that a 1200-member nominating committee, which would remain nominated by the business factions would elect two to three electoral candidates with more than half of the votes before the general public can vote on them.                              --From Wikipedia.

Hong Kong people occupied the main district of Hong Kong, most of them are students, and they suppose to get "real democracy" from "Occupy Central". Also, there are some citizens disagree with the protest.





Some people indicated that polices had violent behavior.

Terry Fox

Terry Fox CC OD (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$600 million has been raised in his name.
