During the time, people in America still regarded flying a plane as an exciting sport, so very few would choose to travel by air. But a young woman named Edna Gardner Whyte thought differently. She believed that very soon people would take airplanes as a means of transportation and no longer see flying an aircraft simply as a fast and dangerous sport. In 1926, she signed up for lessons to learn to be a pilot. But most of her teachers persuaded her to quit, for flying planes was no job for women. Edna didn t give up, and just followed her heart to continue the lessons. With her perseverance, she finally realized her dream of becoming a licensed pilot. Yet, most airline companies at that time still hesitated to employ women pilots. Therefore, even though she was a good pilot, Edna still couldn t land a job flying planes. She had to keep proving herself repeatedly. In 1934, she participated in a flying race in Maryland. She was the only female player in the race and thus, made fun of by other players before the race kicked off. To everyone s surprise, she won in the end, and her winning silenced all the other players.

The residents value traditions and maintain their own methods of farming, food preparation, and keeping friendly relations.

If some people have difficulty paying for certain expenses, they may turn to using Internet platforms to ask friends and strangers for contributions to help cover those expenses. In general, these platforms allow participants to start such life events campaigns as crowdfunding for adoption costs, wedding fees, or medical expenses. Some platforms insist that they would leave the door open and users can keep whatever has been raised while others require users to meet certain criteria before they get any money. However, there are a growing number of criticisms about these campaigns, especially those addressing certain ethical dilemma. One such criticism highlights an instance when in order to compete for attention, everyone wrote their stories as heart-breaking as possible so that they could get more votes and higher scores. In addition, many users link their campaigns from crowdfunding platforms to their Facebook and Twitter accounts or other social media. As a result, even when their campaigns are over, their private information, such as a baby s identity, is still exposed for the public to access. Ironically, all these acts originating from good intention may turn out to be harmful to one s integrity and privacy. Although some comments on crowdfunding can be harsh, crowdfunding just reflects the Internet s power to transmit information. Through this kind of platform, those who actually undergo financial difficulties can find more helpful channels to solve their problems. It is also crucial to accomplish the mission of constructing a world of mutual help and benefits. Yet crowdfunders should be cautious while posting private information on the Internet. It is recommended that people keep those intimate details away from websites. - 5-
