  • Freedom

    Do you think we have freedom?

    Most people think comparing with some Middle-East or Muslim countries (no offense here), we have much more freedom. I just have the thought of the opposite.

    For example, I saw some Middle-East high school girls wore trousers under their dress uniform. I knew the girls were no allowed to wear dress or skirt only. They don't have the freedom to wear dress or skirt but how about me? All the students need to wear uniform in my high school which is a dress for girls. No one did that before but I'm quite sure I was not allowed to wear trousers under the dress unless I could offer medical or religious proof.

    In this perspective, we all don't have freedom or we don't have more freedom, we just have different culture or life style.

  • Am I Paranoid?

    I wonder if I'm paranoid.

    That day I saw a little girl using a computer at my department. Those computers are supposed to be used by students or staff of our department only. The computers require a login account in order to use them so I thought this little girl was one of the students' private tutorial student and was being asked to do some work there. I wanted to use a computer and all other computers were occupied. Many teaching staff came across but no one tried to stop her. I had a thought on "scared" her away but didn't bother.

    I saw she was writing an email and I was curious about who would exchange emails with a little girl. I remembered when I was at her age, I even didn't know what an email was. So I walked closer to her and tried to have a glaze on what she was writing. After I'd figured out the first few sentences she had written, an associate professor appeared. He put his arms around this girl that looked like I was going to do anything would harm her. Then I recalled this girl was his daughter who I've seen before. His brought her away soon.

    The thing is, the associate professor taught me information security and ethics before. He really disappointed me. Obviously, he lent his account to his daughter to use our computers. Did he think it's absolutely good for security or ethical? I can't remember how many times he said employee are not supposed to use work place's computers for private purpose and this act is misusing bandwidth which is paid by the company, so it is unethical!

    Maybe I'm just paranoid but it really annoys me!
