Twitter and Facebook Make Us Immoral?

What's your opinion?

According to a new study, Social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook can have a negative influence on people's moral values and can make them indifferent to human suffering. New findings raise concern about the emotional cost of heavy dependence on an extremely fast stream of news snippets obtained by means of TV, Internet or social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. "If things are happening too fast, you may not ever fully experience emotions about other people's psychological states and that would have implications for your morality," the scientists said.

Do you use Twitter or Facebook often? Do you think they change our moral value?

Dragon Boat Festival (端午節)

Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional holiday. It is a public holiday in mainland China and Taiwan, where it is called the "Duanwu Jie".
The Duanwu Festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. In 2009, this falls on May 28. The focus of the celebrations includes eating zongzi, (please see the picture) which are large rice wraps, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats.

Origins:
The Duanwu Festival is believed to have originated in ancient China. There are a number folk traditions, the best and most widely known legend relates to the suicide of Qu Yuan, a scholar and minister to the King of Chu for worring about the country's situation, in 278 BC an era in Chinese history that is referred to as the Warring States period. Qu Yuan is commonly referred to as a "poet" and a "statesperson", however he is more properly considered as a ministerial scholar.

Aristotle's (1932/1967)
Every art and every inquiry; and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
