Microtia

To create an awareness of the medical condition:

Being able to hear from one side is different from hearing on both sides. Since majority of affected population are from the right side, which is linked to the left brain, logic and language are affected.

To my experience, it would be easier to write or type than to speak it out.

Please see this article : Deaf in One Ear: The School Child

In addition, this condition does not only affect the feature of the ear and it's hearing. There is an impairment at the affected side. What will happen is that there will be a difference in skull growth at the affected side and the normal side. This in turn will affect the jaw growth. The jaw will most probably be at an underbite position. The further implication of this is that normal growth of teeth will be affected. When teeth are not aligned properly, this can cause more damage in terms or clenching/grinding of teeth(Bruxism) and poor teeth health throughout the living years. And may lead to speech problems.

The solution to the root of the problem is to realign the jaw at early age. This will ensure that when the second set of teeth appears, the foundation(jaw) will be at the optimum position.

What prove do you have?
Well, I'm a living proof. I did not go through any treatments whatsoever that the future effects to what I see can be devastating. Currently, I think it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Well as Charles Darwin said : The survival of the fittest!!!

Wide Topic

From birth, a child first socialise with his parents, their most important source of knowledge in the society. From the very moment the child can use their senses, they are unconsciously absorbing forces that shape them whether they like it or not. It is true to say that it is controversial if values and behaviours are "poured" into someone with no control on whether to accept it. But the naivete of a child with no past experience will absorb it because they have not been educated on what is right and wrong. So the role of the parents are crucial to the development of the child.

Even if the parent is poor or rich, they can guide the child to have strong character and integrity. However in this capitalistic society, moral values seems to be eroding. The only factor that constrains them are the rules and law that govern them. Is this what it should be? Having someone to watch over you so that you can behave?

Look at the increase in surveillance cameras. Look at them in Suntec City(especially the convention centre), look at them in shopping malls, speeding/red-light cameras and even on streets!!! The methods used are for short term but how many more can be added? How about installing it in the toilet?

The widening differentiation of institutions are to accomodate the problems in society. But how small can it be divided? Even our body that can be differentiated to organs, cells, molecule, atoms, neutrons, radicals etc has a limit. Does it mean that a revolution will take place after further differentiation cannot be done? This wont occur in our time or maybe in this century. But sooner or later it would happen because everything in this world is about equilibrium.

When stock markets rises to exuberant levels, it will eventually fall. When supply and demand is at disequilibrium, soon or later something will happen to force it to be in equilibrium. It's just a matter of time. It can wait but we can't cause our time is always ticking away.
