Hi Blissers,

The host, Nick, introduced us how to learn English by the cartoon "Spongebob" last Saturday. From the statistically, many high level managers who work under the high pressure environments like to watch Spongebob, also for many normal office workers. Spongebob provided the interesting story to make us relaxing and we could learn some slang language. Nick prepared and provided us a very good opportunity to learn and he also showed us a part of cartoon for training our listening and writing. Nick explained the skills of vocabulary and grammar both on oral and writing ways. He demonstrated many accents, like British, Indian..., and it was very funny. Thank you, Nick!

Participants: Nick, Daniel, Vicky, Serina, Kevin, Ellen

Hi Blissers,

The host, Ellen, shared a meaningful book" What money can't buy" on 5/18 meeting. The writer is the famous professor of Harvard University, Michael J. Sandel. He teaches a course "Justice" at Harvard University and it has become one of the most popular courses since 1980. We discussed our surroundings corresponding to this book. More and more things in this current society are viewed as merchandised product and less and less morality. Money could not use to evaluate things, but it can now. You could donate the money and gain the permission to school. We also can see the ticket scalping for the train ticket and concerts; or you could pay more to the hospital for better caring and surgery. However, do you agree with these things? We had a debate to agree or disagree. During this meeting, we were inspired about the self awareness and society justice. Thank you, Ellen!

Attandance: Ellen, Selina, Naishin, Annie, Wisely, Karl, Kurt, Daniel, Vicky, Ann, Barkley, Serina, Jessica, Judith, Stanley, Archer, Kevin Huang

B: Well, then let's go get some exercise!
A: OK. Let's go for a bike ride an hour later.

Yvonne

Add：中山公民會館2樓-台北市中山區中山北路二段128號2樓 
Time: 5/18@ 2-5pm. (Please don't be late)

Note 1: Please read through and print out the attached article before joining the meeting on 5/18 .
Note 2: The virtue of “Punctuality is what money can’t buy” , show your respect to the host and other Blissers who do need your attendance on time!

Agenda:

Dear Blissers,

Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we allow corporations to pay for the right to pollute the atmosphere? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars? Auctioning admission to elite universities? Selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?

Let’s take on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Is there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets?

In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life - medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without noticing and realizing it, Is this where we want to be ???

I’m going to share with you a book What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel , whose "Justice" course is one of the most popular and influential at Harvard University since 1980.

Reading this book really an eye & mind opening experience for me, everything you thought up to a point becomes questions, challenges !!

And this coming Sat. afternoon on 5/18 , I would like to engage all of the dear Blissers to into a discussion of some big questions in our lives , our societies …..I cannot promise a definitive answer after the meeting discussion however, hoping via my meeting to provide a chance to each citizen of Taiwan to think them trough .
 
Here is several questions which we are going to discuss some of them before /during and after our article reading , please bring us your input when joining my meeting this Sat afternoon 

1.     Is there anything in the world that we definitely should not pay to buy ??

2.     Except what we read from the article , why we shall worry if everything in our life is up for sale ? please give your own openions.

3.     Do you agree students to use market mechanism to allocate access to any lead university? ( e.g huge donations to the school )  

4.     Our military service from 徵兵 to 募兵制 , do you agree or disagree with it , why  ?

5.     Do you agree with ticket scalping with below 3 diff scenario

5.1           Ticket scalping for the May Day concert

5.2           Ticket scalping for the train ticket during the Chinese New Year vacation

5.3           Ticket scalping for the priority to have a medical care , e.g Surgery .

6.     Your observation & opinions toward below 3 diff cases

6.1           Convenient Store v.s tradition grocery stores

6.2           Train book stores v.s  small independent book store

6.3           Media merging ( newspaper and TV channels ) –e.g 旺中寬頻公司併購案

7.     What is the whole purpose / meaning of our discussion on What Money cannot buy today in the article and in today meeting ?
