give information of everything even though that information can be proved or cannot be proved because there is no law to limit speakers’ ideas. The most popular way of giving speech is on the internet because it has no cost and a person who gives their speech can write anything on social media and websites. “The online users review process has never been totally open and honest, however. Fake reviews are rampant. Individuals and companies, and even public relations agencies hired specifically…
I. Southeast Asian countries, due to their historical and social complexity, continue to deviate from widely held political theories. In this paper, I will employ the work of Alexis De Tocqueville and Robert Putnam to show how the Philippines and Thailand prove to be enigmatic in that regard. I argue that we see a largely active civil society but low democratization in Thailand and the Philippines owing to their authoritarian histories and lack of democratic institutionalization. I chose to…
If there was a song that describes the darkness and loneliness of prostitution, Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team” hits it out the park. Based off a true story, “The A Team” is a walk through a young woman’s struggles in the world of drugs and prostitution. This beautifully written song conveys a murky truth that is all too sad and familiar today. I remember when I first heard this song back in high school. I was sitting at my desk at home doing homework while listening to Pandora radio in the…
A Certain Lady – Argumentative Essay When Dorothy Parker paints her lips red (3) during her poem A Certain Lady, she 's doing it because society expects her to - but this essay will argue that she 's also doing so out of paid obligation. At first glance, 'what goes on while (you 're) away / you 'll never know ' seems like unrequited love between friends, specifically the feelings that she has for him, but this is not the case. Certain lines in the poem discuss themes of emotional detachment,…
The achievement of successive victories by Japan in sinking two British Ships: HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales in the Gulf of Thailand which effectively eliminated British naval power from the South China Sea, coupled with attacked of the US Naval based at Pearl Harbour, had tremendous influence in inducing Thai military leader such as Phibun to corroborate with Japan, by signed a mutual defence pact with Japan. The stationing of 150,000 troops on Thai soil, subsequently lead Thailand to…
this routine for 6 years, grade 1 to grade 6. Even though some episodes were the same as I had watched, I still love to watch them again and again. Another reason I watched Doraemon because every kids did. If I did not watch, I would not have a topic to talk to anybody at school in Monday morning. Doraemon appeared in Thailand in 1981 as a Japanese manga. Doraemon was changed the title to Do-Ra-Mon: The Naughty Cat. It was translated in Thai and published a volume per month. Due to its…

The moral reform movement was a collective effort by ill-equipped parents, “settlement workers and vice reformers joined with club leaders, probation officers, social workers, and sex educators” to combat the scourge of prostitution and to bring under control the newly sexualized population of young working women in the 1900’s (Alexander, 1995, p. 41). Once the young women got a taste of freedom, they “profess utter lack of respect for their parents and contempt for their home life” and…
