Perfect World

Perfect world
             If I keep everything realistic, there never will be a perfect world. First of all, all people have different expectation of the “perfect world”. For example, for a teenager who is bullied every day, their perfect world would be end of bulling. But for someone who had never been through the same wouldn’t have the same expectation. Though, I have some general ideas of how to make this world perfect. First, I believe that there should be no hate among all people – by that mean, toward any race, gender, or age groups. Most of the time people often have prejudice toward some certain group of people who are different than themselves. That will only make the world deepen with the hate problem. Second I think all people should try to spread their love to one another. Love – again, all people have different definition of that word but this love would be trying to understand and care for each other. Those are the two aspects I think should contrast harder in this world today because, then, eventually all the problems will fade away slowly.

White Balance Experience

White Balance
            As I was taking pictures, experiencing with different white balance settings, I notice that the temperature of the photos change drastically. I actually enjoyed seeing the effects but I thought some settings didn’t seem so different or aren’t very appropriate for indoor photos. Such as incandescent and shady, some can give too much of cool or too warm effects. I think I will be using more of these setting to give warmth to the photos in the future. Though, I wonder if there will be difference when taking pictures outdoor.

Pro-life
            First of all, pro-life is an anti-abortion movement, or a social and political movement opposing elective on moral grounds and supporting its legal prohibition. They provide helps to those who are going through different problems during their pregnancy to save the babies if they are thinking about abortion, and also if any, they are proceeding a project that gives hope and healing to those who got abortion. There are many different groups within this movement: Help Outlaw Abortions, Ban Abortions in Your State, Students for Life!, Human Life International, Operation Rescue, Hope and Healing, and etc. On the other side of the abortion debate is the pro-choice movement. Subscribing to different moral grounds than the pro-life movement, pro-choicers hold the view that a woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy, they also advocate legal abortion as an important facet or women’s reproductive rights.
