Taiwan 1895-1945-Feb 7

Use AI tools to learn about the major events/incidents during 1895-1945 in Taiwan in English or日本語. Learn the words and expressions to describe the historic incidents, names, and places in English.

- 1683  Qing Dynasty of China defeated the kingdom and annexed Taiwan.
- 1895  Taiwan was ceded to Japan in the Treatment of Shimonoseki (下関条約)
The First Sino-Japanese War broke out between Qing Dynasty China and Japan in 1894 following a dispute over the sovereignty of Korea. By then, the majority of Taiwan's inhabitants were Han Chinese descendants or assimilated offspring with the aborigines. 
- 1895-1915  Colonization (植民地化) 
During this period, the human and natural resources of Taiwan were used to aid the development of Japan, and the production of cash crops such as rice and sugar greatly increased its economy, and became self-sufficient under the initiatives by *Goto Shinpei (後藤 新平).
- 1915-37 Assimilation  (同化)
Taiwan would be viewed as an extension of the Home Islands: a public school system was established to educate Taiwanese to understand their role and responsibilities as Japanese subjects, the use of the Japanese language was rewarded, and local governance and an elected advisory committee that included the locals were instituted.
- 1937-45 Integration (融合)
Japan made the Taiwanese adopt Japanese names and surnames, promoted Japanese as the official language and encouraged the people to speak it at home, encouraged them to wear Japanese dress, learn Japanese customs, and worship Japanese Shinto, and forced the Taiwanese to enlist as volunteers in the Japanese armed services.

Read the article by section and write the main idea in one sentence. 
Par. 1-4: Photo Alteration 
    Par. 1, 2, 3 Examples => undermine the public’s trust in the new photos 
    -> Par. 4 The public shouldn’t simply trust the photos in the news.
Viewers should be aware that news photos are often modified by the photographer or media to make the event or persons look more impressive.

Par. 5-6: What’s Truth? 
   Par.5, 6 Examples of alterations, emphasis, and amendments of photos and images
   -> Par. 6 It’s difficult to draw a clear line between what’s acceptable or inaccurate.
Since photos are often edited to show things that cannot be seen by human eyes, it seems difficult to define what is accurate or how much modification is acceptable. 

Par. 7-8: What we see/Perception? 
   Par.7, 8 Examples of viewers’ perceptions controlled by the media.
   => Photo alteration is inevitable, and it could alter viewers’ perceptions.
   -> Par.9 Conclusion
News photos should never be modified to deceive the viewers.

Chiken #3-Jan 21

[3] Unwanted Males Killed at Birth
At an Iowa hatchery for layer chickens, 150,000 newborn male chicks are shredded every single day. Male chicks born at the hatchery are sent off to slaughter the very day they take their first breath. Workers grab them by their wings, toss them onto conveyor belts, and throw them down a chute for their final moments in a grinding machine, in which they are ground up while they are still alive. All this is a normal procedure and widely accepted at commercial hatcheries within the bounds of animal welfare laws. The egg industry considers male chicks useless because they don’t lay eggs and can’t be raised profitably for meat.
Image  Male Chick Culling  
Video (disturbing!)  Unwanted Males Killed at Birth (3:43) 

 Question
Male chicks of egg layers are culled at birth, and their sisters are slaughtered once they’ve laid around 500+ eggs. 
If you’re in the chicken business, what would you do with male chicks?
