My group choose education as our main topic.  We think it is the basic and also the most important thing to college, to Baruch.

I choose to talk about bullying which I think is one thing belongs to education.  In the article “ Effects of Bullying Last Into Adulthood, Study Finds”, Catherine Saint Louis says that although it has been proven that the victims of bullying and bullies are more likely to have mental health problems in childhood, the recent studies have shown that the effects can last into adulthood as well.Through a long observation, the researchers found that the children who experienced bullying had much great chance to develop psychiatric problems in their adulthood, especially for those who were both bullies and victims.

I think bullying is a problem to every school, Baruch also.  Education is a big thing to Baruch, and we hope it will become better.

The topic of our group is Transportation. As we know, New York city is one of the busiest cities in the world. There are a lot of people using public transportation to get to work and school everyday. Also, New York city subway has 7/24 service. So, transportation is a really important part of not only New York but any other place in this world.  From my point of view, it is important to keep track of some transportation news.

I used to live in Newport, near Hudson river. I can see ferries sailing on the river from my window.  I was wondering how can so many different sizes of boats, ferries and ships sail in limited area without accident. Then, I found the article about ferry horns on New York Times website. From the article, I knew that ferries will sound the horn twice before it leaves the dock. However, the sound has disturbed residents who lived in downtown manhattan.
