5Development (1) Reasons in support of
Homosexuals adoption
- Main Argument Adoption not only saves an orphan
from the substandard foster home but also offers
family happiness to the homosexual pairs. - 1. Refuting Counter-arguments Good parenting is
not influenced by sexual orientation. Rather,
what it requires are unconditional love and
adequate finance, which both heterosexual and
homosexual parents could provide.
6Development(1) Reasons in support of
Homosexuals adoption (2)
- 2. Refuting Counter-arguments If a homosexual
household creates gender confusion owning to only
fatherhood or motherhood to the adopted children,
then the same problem should happen on
single-parent families as well. - 3. Refuting Counter-arguments There is no clear
evidence showing that children raised in a
homosexual household are much more likely to
become homosexuals in the future.
7Development(1) Reasons in support of

shortage of adoptive and foster parents.
8Development (2) Reasons in support of
cohabitation
- First, cohabitants would have a better mutual
understanding through the process of
cohabitation. - If a couple is in love with each other, they want
to be with each other all the time. - college couples find themselves more independent
from the families. It is a symbol of showing
maturity. - The fear towards marriage also leads them to
choose only to cohabit, but not to get married.
9Development (3) Reasons against All-English
kindergarten -suggestions
- Parents attitude is the most important
- Should be learned in a natural environment
- Overemphasis of English can be harmful to
childrens acquisition of their mother tongue - It is not necessary for children in Taiwan to
learn English in All-English kindergarten, which
makes English superior to native language and
English teachers, to Taiwanese.
10Development (3) Reasons against All-English
kindergarten
- It is not necessary for children in Taiwan to
learn English in All-English kindergarten. - Examples of over-emphasis of English
- hierarchy at school
- lack of Chinese abilities
- Example of natural bi-lingualism.
- How to practice bi-lingualism in a kindergarten
and at home.
11Development transition
- If girls really decide to cohabit with their
boyfriends, they really need to carefully
consider it. One day, if they break up, the
record of cohabitation cant be retrieved. In the
next relationship or the marriage, the record
will be with girls. Most men cant accept that
their girlfriends or wives have cohabited with
men. - Perhaps, those students who decide to cohabit may
say that they live together for love and deeper
understanding.
12 - Girls, especially, should think twice befor they
decide to cohabit with their boyfriends. They
should know that once they break up, the record
of cohabitation cannot be erased. In the next
relationship or the marriage, the record will be
with girls. Most men cant accept that their
girlfriends or wives have cohabited with men. - Even if they dont care about other peoples
views and argue that they cohabit for love and
deeper understanding, is cohabitation, I want to
ask, the only way to achieve mutual understanding?
13Reasoning (1) Advertisements are educational.
- For instance, the commercial films of milk or
yogurt claims that to drink milk and yogurt is
good for health, because calcium is necessary
for our body and the germs yogurt has is good for
digestion. Besides, whether we are going to buy
the certain brand of milk and yogurt or not, we
get the further knowledge about which nutrition
and germs are good for us.
14Reasoning (1) Advertisements are educational.
- Reasoning not rigorous enough? Providing
knowledge or constant reminder? - For instance, the commercial films of milk or
yogurt repeatedly claim that drinking milk and
yogurt is good for health, because calcium is
necessary for our body and the live and active
cultures yogurt has is good for digestion.
Whether we are persuaded into buying a certain
brand of milk and yogurt or not, we are
constantly reminded of the importance of calcium
and lactic acid-producing bacteria.
15Note
- CULTURED DAIRY FOODS Cultured dairy foods are
milk products that result from the fermentation
of milk or its products by starter cultures
(i.e., selected specific microorganisms) that
produce lactic acid under controlled conditions.
e.g. Sour Cream Yogurt - Yogurt. Yogurt is the product resulting from the
culturing of a mixture of milk and cream products
with the lactic acid-producing bacteria,
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus.
16Introduction
- Nowadays, the social phenomenon has changed.
Peoples values towards many things are
different, such as the value of wealth, love,
sexual intercourse, etc. The rate of divorces is
getting higher and higher. The latest number of
the rate of divorce is one out 2.5 couples that
gets divorced. This phenomenon has also
influenced on campus. Couples cohabit because
they are afraid of getting married.
17Introduction (2)
- On college campus, many student couples
cohabit. Some of the couples enjoy doing so while
some end up breaking up with each other. Some
would just like to give it a shot. No matter what
the consequences may be, in my opinion, I find it
good for college student couple to cohabit.
18Introduction problems
- 1. simplification of reasons for cohabitation
- 2. Thesis statement too short and unclear.
- 3. Lack of connection between the first and the
second paragraphs.
19Introduction suggested solution
- As our society develops more diverse views
about love, sexual intercourse and goals of life,
marriage may not be the only or the best
destination of love. Instead, cohabitation turns
out to be a common choice nowadays, while more
and more married couples end up in divorce. This
general trend, of course, has its trickle-down
effects on college, where young couples opt for
cohabitation for various reasons such as love,
convenience, mutual understanding and trial
marriage. Considering the large number of
unhappy couples and divorced ones, isnt
cohabitation a better and safer choice for our
young couples?
20Topic sentence conclusion
- Homosexuals are exactly the same as heterosexuals
besides(except for) their sexual orientation,
which is a matter of personal choice and should
not be discriminated against. Homosexuals and
their adoptive children may be looked down by
some people in the society for this reason, it
is important for homosexual couples to help the
children face the prejudices and develop a strong
mind.
21Topic sentence conclusion (2)
- Brainwashing the discrimination against
homosexuals of the public is also inevitable.
solution through media education. . . They are
just minority compared with heterosexuals. After
all, some homosexuals could be better parents
than those heterosexuals who are addicted to
alcohol, drugs, and violence.
22Topic sentence conclusion (suggestion 1)
- Nobody can deny the humanity of homosexuals, who
differ from the heterosexuals only in their
sexual orientation. Nobody can deny their need,
and thus their human right, to love and be loved,
and, above all, to have a family with both a
spouse and children.
23Topic sentence conclusion (suggestion 2)
- As normal human beings, homosexuals not only are
able to provide orphans a good home, they can
offer them a healthy and loving family
environment. Moreover, in face of
discrimination, they teach their children to be
opener to differences and stronger in fighting
against prejudices. After all, some homosexuals
could be better parents than those heterosexuals
who are addicted to alcohol, drugs, and violence.
