Andrew Crenshaw is someone hard, if not impossible, to miss even on a crowded bus or MRT train: he is an English language instructor in the Department and he is 6 feet 3 inches (191 centimeters) tall. He is now in his second year, hosting six Freshman English courses in five colleges at NTU, teaching more than 200 English-as-a-second-language students from diverse majors and nationalities, and grading over 600 essays every semester.

There are many ways to make the world a better place. It may be as difficult as inventing the space shuttle or as easy as recycling a bottle. And there are some people who travel around the world every year, teaching Tibetan children how to read, planting mangroves in the Philippines, restoring world heritage sites, or leaving their footprints in the most primitive places on earth. They are international volunteers. by Stuart Chuan
Bullying indicates an imbalance of power, in which the advantaged impose a certain power – physical, psychical, or political – upon the disadvantaged. Those involved can be divided into three categories: the bullies, the bullied, and those who witness the bullying scene. Bullying has long been latent in Taiwan and has taken place repeatedly, especially in junior and senior high schools, and statistics show that up to 55.8% of students are afraid of being bullied in school. However, it was not until a recent bullying event in Bade Junior High School that the government began to stress the issue. At the beginning of the spring semester 2011, many kinds of anti-bullying propaganda were circulated in schools, yet it is questionable whether these efforts can truly help to eradicate the problem. |
