Introduction
As a student, there are various challenges that we face in our academic journey. In this article, I will address some current issues that students face, ranging from personal struggles to societal challenges.
The Act of Violence in Schools
In recent times, cases of violence in schools have become a growing concern worldwide. I witnessed an incident where a student got angry during an English class and pushed the English class representative onto the table. As a student, it is disheartening to see such acts of violence in the academic setting.
The Lack of Southeast Asian Students in International Schools
International schools that are based in Southeast Asia are often attended by expatriate children because of the quality of education that they provide. However, these schools have a minimal percentage of native Southeast Asian students. The reason for this could be due to the costly tuition fees, limited scholarship programs, and the students' preference for domestic schools.
The Need to Appreciate Top-Ranking Western Art
Western art and literature have contributed immensely to the global cultural heritage. However, despite their significance, a majority of students have limited knowledge and exposure to these works. As a result, students lack the understanding and appreciation for these works, which affects their ability to connect with global cultural heritages and build international relationships.
The Implementation of 5G in Mainland China
5G is the fifth and the most recent generation of cellular networks that provide faster internet speed, which is essential for modern technology applications. However, despite its advantages, the implementation of 5G networks in mainland China has faced significant resistance. Critics argue that the technology could potentially threaten national security, leading to challenges in its roll-out and adoption.
Dealing with Classroom Crisis
Being a teacher or class representative comes with significant responsibilities that require flexibility and problem-solving skills. For instance, when a teacher gets sick, the class representative is expected to take over the class and fill in the void left by the teacher. In such a crisis, a class representative is expected to keep the class going and ensure that the learning process is not disrupted.
The Moral Dilemma in Gaming
Gaming is an enjoyable form of entertainment that provides a variety of options to players. However, some games have built-in microtransactions that allow players to buy items, currency, or in-game advantages using real money. In some cases, players may find themselves in a moral dilemma when the option to buy in-game items arises. This could lead to players feeling pressured to spend their hard-earned money, or in some cases, it could lead to players resorting to unethical ways to acquire in-game currency.
Conclusion
As students, we face numerous challenges that require us to be resilient and adaptable to changing circumstances. By addressing these issues, students can work towards creating a conducive academic environment that is safe and accommodating for all individuals.
