敬自由 / 性別平權

過去的台灣社會或許有男主外女主內的概念
但越來越多男性選擇以育嬰假方式陪伴小孩成長
.
在台灣可以申請領8成津貼的育嬰留停6個月
而整個社會的氛圍
也讓伴侶雙方能有機會協調、自由選擇
.
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中
我們就拍攝了這樣一位年輕爸爸
.
『在這裡 各種想法進步得很快
我和太太擁有完全一樣的選擇跟機會
因為想陪孩子長大
所以我跟公司請了半年育嬰假
他開口說的第一個單字就是爸爸
面對同樣重要的家庭與事業
我們一樣有力量』
.
若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視
.
Ingrained gender roles have taken a heavy toll on previous generations in #Taiwan and the greater Asia region. Many brilliant women were forced out of their careers and had to undertake the lion’s share of childcare duties, while men were denied the opportunity to be the primary care-giver to their children. Things are changing here in Taiwan and the government is trying to make this change easier, allowing both men and women to take up to six months parental leave to care for their child, with subsidies available allowing them to collect around 80% of their salary.

In the recent promotional short, "To Freedom," as part of MOFA’s #UNGA76 campaign, we feature the story of one such young parent, who represents many young men taking advantage of the recent changes to parental leave allowance:

“It’s quite progressive here. My wife and I have the same choices and opportunities. As I wanted to spend time with my child, I took six months parental leave from work and so his first word was “Daddy!” Family and career carry equal importance and require equal strength.”

If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.

本篇是一個歷史科普文，幫大家介紹為什麼瀏覽網頁內的超連結會是藍色的？
千萬不要想到超連結就覺得一定是 Netscape，從本文的歷史角度來看 Netscape 連前五都不算呢

作者從 2001 年就開始撰寫網頁，一直以來都沒有去思考為什麼超連結是藍色的，直到朋友某天的詢問才讓頓時傻住
這個自己視為理所當然的東西實際上必定也是某個發明，是什麼時候被決定的？誰決定的？為什麼決定是藍色的？

與同事一起找尋的結果是 Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina 於 01/23/1993
所發佈的 Mosaic(馬賽克) 瀏覽器是第一套提供藍色超連結功能的瀏覽器。

時間點來看的話
1. 1964 Project Xanadu 是第一個嘗試透過實體連結將兩個頁面的系統
2. 1987 第一套瀏覽器 WWW 誕生
3. 1993 第一個使用基於藍色的超連結瀏覽器出現
4. 2016 Google 開始嘗試將超連結顏色改到黑色

研究出這些歷史痕跡後，作者依然對於為什麼是藍色這件事情沒有著落
很多人都說因為對比色的緣故，所以超連結選則藍色。
作者認為 W3C 直到 1994 才出現，所以那之前所謂的標準都還沒有被定義，此外從對比的角度來看，藍色與黑色的對比程度是2.3:1，實際上也不是說多好。

作者後面從不同角度去思考出一個結論
1. Cello/Mosaic 假設它們的設計都受到該年代 UI 設計潮流的影響
2. 該年代是 Windows 3.1 崛起的日子，而 Windows 3.1 也是第一個重度使用藍色作為選擇色的系統（網頁中有展示 windows 3.1 中很多選擇都會呈現藍色)
3. 隨者支援色彩的電腦螢幕普及，Mosaic 也一起受歡迎，使用藍色的超連結逐漸變成一個習慣，因此此後的 IE/Netscape 等也就沿用這個藍色的設計。

[10 REASONS WHY ASIANS DON'T GET FAT]

Now of course, there are Asians who are fat or chubby, so the title is a bit of a generalized statement or stereotype, but as a whole, there's definitely some truth to it. Genetics is an obvious factor so I'm gonna leave that one off the list.

1. Fish & Seafood

Asians eat a lot of seafood. The biggest benefit to eating fish is the omega-3 fatty acids. Fish gives our brain and body the DHA & EPA it needs. EPA in particular has been shown to prevent obesity. 1.5 to 2 grams daily of fish oil can produce weight loss of a couple pounds over a period of a month.

2. Cooking Methods

If you compare Western and Asian eating habits, sure they both consume deep fried foods, but Asian countries vary their cooking methods a lot more.

3. Food Perception

How people see and experience food can be different depending on where you are. In America, for example, food is seen more as entertainment. There is desire, joy and anticipation associated with eating. Not that it isn't in Asian countries, but it's a lot more toned down. Eating has more of a practical feel, in many cases closer to being a chore rather than entertainment.

4. Portion Size

Asians eat smaller portions. Food is often served in small serving bowls and small plates and this helps regulate how much is consumed in one sitting. Now if we take a look at America? SUPERSIZE!

5. Leafy Greens

Asian portion size in general might be smaller, but their vegetable portion size is consistently larger. In many Asian countries, people don't even need to be reminded to eat their veg. It's just ingrained.

6. Drink Habits

It is a common belief that drinking water, especially cold water, with your meal is a habit that one should avoid, as it dilutes your digestive enzymes and makes it harder for your stomach to digest food. Americans often drink cold water or sodas with their meals, not so much for Asian people however. Rather they drink hot teas before or after a meal. I should note that many experts say this is greatly exaggerated and that it's generally ok to drink water with your meals.

7. Population Density

Many Asian countries & cities are densely populated. There are lots of people living in small apartments and almost everything you need is just round the corner. Leading one to possibly conclude that many Asian people must exert less energy in their daily lives. In actuality, Asian people in this circumstance may end up walking more. With everything being in close proximity, they are more inclined to just walk to their destination, whereas in many Western countries, distances are often too great.

8. Fermented Foods

Asians consume more fermented foods such as miso, natto, tempeh, kimchi, kombucha, etc, and this is not just good for your gut health, but helps reduce the overall inflammation in the body. And inflammation is a contributing factor to weight gain and obesity.

9. Snacks & Desserts

This one's quite simple. Asian snacks, healthy, Western snacks, not so much. Asian snacks and desserts may be rice cakes, red beans, seaweed snacks, nuts, seeds, and lots of fruit. For Western snacks and desserts, you have cookies, chips, ice cream, sugary cakes.

10. Prevention vs Treatment
Asians practice prevention, while others practice treatment. With the Western approach, you have your antibiotics, antacids, NSAIDs, quick, temporary, remedies that might actually hurt you in the long run. The Asian approach attempts to get to the root of the problem using nutrition, healthy habits, prevention practices. It's a societal mindset. Health is not simply the absence of sickness.

Tatami is deeply ingrained into Japanese Culture.

WHY ASIANS ARE YELLOW-SKINNED

Some people find yellow an offensive or racist term to describe Asians for various reasons.

"Asians are not actually yellow!"
"Hey, Asians aren’t cowards!"
"There is no ONE Asian colour!"
"Did you know Yellow or Yellow Peril is rooted in historical irrational racist perceptions, that the West had for the East?"
"Labels divide people. We need fewer labels, not more!"

And then there’s the other viewpoint, that 'Yellow' isn’t offensive:

"Why is calling someone white or black not racist, but then when you call them yellow, all of a sudden..."
"Yellow just describes ones' appearance, like calling someone skinny, short, tall, dark-haired…"
"...but Asians actually have a yellow hue to them!"
"Cmon, Asians even call themselves yellow!"

Actually that last one is interesting. Do Asians themselves find Yellow offensive?

Well understandably there are South East Asians, Indians, Afghans, Iraqis who find it offensive because they are far from yellow. But I think, in saying yellow, most people are referring to East Asians anyway.

So do EAST Asians find Yellow offensive?

Recently Apple angered many Asian people by their creation of yellow-shaded emojis, part of their attempt at racial emoji diversity - and many Asians took to Twitter to voice their concerns.

But, hey wait, I’ve heard Asians refer to themselves as Yellow too.

"Yellow Power!"
"Everyone’s got yellow fever!"
"Check out the yellow bullet! (Liu Xiang, Gold Medalist)
"...one of China’s legendary cultural heroes, The Yellow Emperor."

Okay, so the jury is still out on just how offensive it is; but who do we blame for all of this?

Some think it’s to do with the fact that Asian civilisation first developed around the Yellow River in China.

But after doing some research, I found this guy, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) - a German naturalist, physiologist and anthropologist who was the first to explore the study of mankind as an aspect of natural history.

He came up with the five color typology for humans - the white race (Caucasians), the black race (sub-Saharan Africans), the brown race (Pacific Islanders), the red race (American Indians) and of course, the yellow race (East Asians).

And ever since then, the idea of Asians as yellow has been ingrained in our heads. Look no further than the Power Rangers. Specifically, the yellow power ranger.

Going back to the original question - Why are Asians yellow? (or yellowish)

The answer, is genetic. But more specifically, Asians have more carotene pigments in their skin, and carotene imparts a yellowish coloration.

Also Asians have a low body mass index (BMI) but higher body fat percentage; and much of this fat lies just under their skin. Fat tends to be yellowish in nature, so Asian skin often looks yellowish.

In comparison, Caucasians have less carotene and a much thinner layer of fat under their skin; so they’re less yellowy and more white.

At the end of the day, personally, I don’t really take much offence to being referred to as yellow. But then again, I do make videos on youtube about sensitive racial matters, so I do have to have thick skin (under which there is a layer of yellow fat).

Whatever color we are, it doesn’t really matter. We’re all the same. We are all interchangeable.

Especially when it comes to The Simpsons, the show where white people are yellow, and yellow people are white.
