Discussion Material for May 15th (Taiwan time)

Dear all,

Hope you all enjoy what you've been up to currently, workshops, activities, etc. Before I post the discussion materials for the coming discussion on May 15th (Taiwan time), I would like to ask if any of you can't attend the coming session. As James had mentioned he can't make it for the following three weeks (from May 15th to May 2th) and Maria mentioned earlier that she can't make it until May 15th, I'd like to confirm if Maria can make it this week :)

If Maria can't make it this week, then we can postpone the discussion to next week. Just to let me know in advance :)

Whether it is May 15th or May 22th that we're going to have our next session, here's our discussion materials for next discussion. We're going to talk about people power and what defines a country. Both articles are from Economist Magazine.

1. Wheel of misfortune: People power ain't what it used to be; actually, it never was
2. In quite a state: How many countries in the world? The answer to that question is surprisingly difficult

We've had quite a bit sunshine here in Vancouver, hope you have sunshine in Taiwan too. Good luck for whatever you want to achieve and hope to talk to you soon :)

All the BEST,

Angela  

Discussion for May 8

Dear all,

It's me again. Since I won't be here for the following three weeks (5/15, 5/22, 5/29), I volunteer to lead the discussion again, and I recommand to talk about "the blind people." Actually there are very rich discussions on the blind. For the May 8 discussion, we gonna only call attention on the issue of the social interaction in blind people.

Here are the required article and video clips:
1. Challenges of Being Blind
2. Blind, visually impaired enjoy bicycle outing
3. In Beep Ball, Umpires Aren't Blind, But the Players Are
