MY dear teacher Ana. I can't believe that wikispaces is still working. I was very surprised when I sаw my account. I want to tell you that I appreciate everything you done for us. Now I study in university, I because of You I learned very much things. First of all I learned to speak English, then to expresses my ideas, to tell what I know, to learn new things. THANK YOU!!! Thank you Aleksandra. It's been a pleasure.  Should we do more to deal with the problem of domestic violence, or is this problem exaggerated Domestic violence is the problem with the word is confronts. This is the biggest and the most important problem that need to solve. This problem it’s not an exaggerated. We know that this is a problem, the world knows but that what we know it’s not enough. We need to do something to prevent spread on domestic violence. Major victims of domestic violence are women and children. Often, they do not recognize because they are scared. “My husband was beating me. When I went on work my colleagues asked what was happened to me, to my face. I always lied. I was telling them that I fell. For short time they found out that my husband beating me, and they communicate police. But police didn’t do anything. Than was worst for me. I don’t like to go in my house. I was known that my husband will beat me, but I don’t have where I can go; don’t have anyone. I look on internet that exits some institution to help to deal domestic violence. I talk with them. With their help now my ex husband is in prison, and I can live.” This is the story of one of many people in world who have some problem. Whit this story we can see that this is a very big problem. This women was had a courage to tell her problem and now she can live without fear. In other side the children don have so much courage to do the same. One child say” My father reaped me, and my mom knew this, but she doesn’t do anything to deal this. My neighbors found out and they gone to police and now he is in prison. But still I can’t sleep; I can’t be normal how other children”. Whit this stories we can see how much pain have this people. Sometimes I wonder if it is necessary to have such a pain in world, if not impossible to spread happiness and love, without domestic violence, without fear and tears. We need to do everything to stop the domestic violence. We like to live in world full of happiness, love, hope, laughter, peace and to live our dream. Let this be a message for all people in world.

Should sex education be increased in school in an attempt to curb problems such as teenage pregnancy? For sex education was talking before few years in our country, but still it’s not introduced in school education.  I thing that is very important and I can say necessary to introduced in school education. We know that now the child faster grows up than in the past. For that is important to know something more about sex. In Macedonia sex is still taboo, and for this has many young parents. And we if like to know something more about sex, teenage pregnancy we don’t have whom to ask. If we ask our parents they will not answer in our questions, if we ask our teachers they will understand that how insult. For this reasons many teenage remain pregnant, and often they don’t know what they can do with the baby. My opinion, and I thin in every teenage is that need to introduced sex education is the school. The teenage must to know how they can protect from unwanted pregnancy. Not just to unwanted pregnancy and for communicable diseases by sex what is very important too.

To what extent has traditional male role changed in last 20 year? In the past and now in some patriarchal society’s dominant role has a male. Than males were they who work and females was a housewife. But the world is changing every day, especially in last 20 years.  Women has right to work and earns money, has right on standards who guaranteeing equality in economic live. This is part of declaration of human rights. Role of women contribute to overcoming of poverty in countries in world, because often they are only ones who earns money on them family. Although men still believe they are in the main themselves knows that it has already begun to change. Has very much examples of rich and successful woman’s in world. Gjozefin Kohrein Chicago, made first dishwashing machine, and for this she get a Nobel award. Than, Johana Kvandal has 50% shares of BMW, the richest women in France is Lilijan Betankor and she has 51% shares of L’Oreal.  Of this we can see that women taking a significant place in society and for short time would be far more successful than men.]

 Euthanasia as a way of reliving people’s pain and save them from the tortures of their illness. Do we have the right take people’s live, if after all live is the greatest charisma?  Live is just one moment in tamed. The live is just a dream; a dream who Got bestows us, to use as better as we can.  Live is the greatest charisma in people lives, but not for hard sick people. This people just want do die, to be saved from illness. This is hart moment in every person live. No one wants to suffer, especially when he knows that his illness will cure, when you can not stand the pain. Than this man only wants to die as soon as possible, to ease the pain. Now euthanasia can ease the pain. Can reliving people pain. This is not a killing people. This people will be died early or later, euthanasia in some way saves the people. They will dead faster and whit lees pain.  When this person live with big pain, and don’t have hope that he will cured, the best way to save this person is euthanasia. “What is the dead? Just one moment and nothing more, a moment when the person close his eyes forever”, that is the words of the best writer ever Paulo Koeljo.

Should restrictions be placed on the use mobile phones in public areas like restaurants and theaters? Mobile phones are a part of daily of peoples. We use mobiles phones everywhere and in every place: at schools, in cafes, in disco, in theaters, restaurants and in other different places.  Survey that was done on the internet shows us that a large percentage of people likes to use mobile phones in restaurants and theaters. And I think the same. I do not see any reason why any attempt should be made to usurp more of people’s personal freedoms. The patriot act is bad enough for people as it is. Most people these days are living constantly under surveillance due to called security concerns. However, it’s up to the people. They should be educated about not letting their activities become public nuisance. They can keep their mobile phones silent and on vibration but no restriction should be imposed on them as to make it mandatory. Also, of some people the work depends of mobile phones, and they need to use. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> From this argument I like to say, that no needs to ban the use of mobile phones. If the person like to not use mobile phone then he don’t use. It’s depends of person.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: center;">The mass media, including TV, radio, newspapers have a great influence on people and especially on the younger generation. It plays an important role in shaping the opinions and position of the younger generation. Argue for or against this statement.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Occurrence of mass, popular pres on the beginning on XX century, entered very much changes on the world pres. With development of printing technologies the press became chipper and every person could buy newspaper. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Affect of development on mass media was very big. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Beside press and radio, TV plays an important role in sharing opinions. But technology sill goes in development. Now, the Internet technology became a part of activities of young people, but also older people use Internet very often. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> How the children watch TV, play computer games, opens facebook profiles, instead playing some children games on the parks. Include this them opinions and position in largely depends of TV, and Internet. The young people now don’t goes often on the cafes, they prefer to stay home and chat with them friend or with somebody else. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> In our opinions often influence mass media and Internet. If we like to know something more for some person we will connect on internet and we will find this information, and for this we will made same opinions and position of this person. It was just example of many things who we shaping opinions.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Should drivers of automobiles be prohibited using cellular phones? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Nowadays, cellular phones become most important necessaries in our life. People using cellular mobiles anywhere and anytime without realize about safety. We know that drivers of automobiles are always using cellular phones when driving. In my opinion, drivers of automobiles should be prohibited from using cellular phone. Although using cellular phones has many advantages, there is some reason that the drivers of automobiles should be prohibited from using cellular phones when drive for our sake. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> As we know, cellular phones when driving can create many hazardous problems such as accidents and traffics problems. From previous research, an accident can occurs four times as usually when the driver of automobiles using cellular phones while driving. It is because the driver did not concentrate to their ways. The driver can’t hold cellular phone with one hand, and the other hand has to control the automobile. So those, risks of accident to occur are high. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> For those arguments, I thing that needs drivers of automobiles be prohibiting using cellular phones. If drivers of automobiles use cellular phones, they are endangering the passengers, other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Very young people are smoking cigarettes; include children to 14 years, although they know for harmful effect of smoking cigarettes. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> But I’m not agreeing with this, that cigarettes smoking be banned consummation, because it is not same thing as heroin. Cigarettes are addicting, but it’s not drug at all. I don’t thing smoking should be banned at all. Can be banned smoking cigarettes in the restaurants, cafes, and in the close room accommodation. It’s a now project from Government of R. Macedonia, and will be started on 1-st January 2010 year. Smoking cigarettes it’s gross, unhealthy, expensive, and I’d never do it, but I thing people have the right to smoke, in places where are allowed. There’s constantly ads on TV, magazines, newspapers, internet, etc that inform people of the consequences of smoking, they should be allowed to do it. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> They know that can get disease for cigarettes smoking but this is them right, and they decided if they want to smoke cigarettes or not. I thing that, cigarettes smoking to be not banned as heroin consummation.

<span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: center;">The 1920’s was a leisurely period in history and people began spending more time playing and observing sports. Who were the major contribution to this “Golden age” of sports and what influence, if any, did they have on future athletes and the sports played? <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Legends: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> The 1920s have been called the golden age of sports. From the very beginning of the decade extraordinary athlete-heroes emerged in virtually every sport- football, American football, baseball, tennis, golf, polo, and the Olympic sports. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Along whit all the other grand titles of the decade, the 1920s were also known as “golden age of sports.” Players in almost every sport far exceeded fans’ included baseball greats Babe Ruth (1895–1948), Ty Cobb (1886–1961), and Lou Gehrig (1903–1941); football heroes Red Grange (1903–1991) and Knute Rockne (1888–1931); tennis aces Helen Wills (1905–1998) and Bill Tilden (1893–1953); and probably the greatest lightweight boxer Benny Leonard (1896–1947) and heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey (1895–1983). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> After the war America was eager both to work and to play. Prosperity, or at least the expectation of prosperity, characterized the nation. Citizens in increasing numbers were leaving farms to take jobs in the burgeoning industrial cities, and Americans' personal incomes improved significantly. By 1925, 40 percent of workers in the United States earned at least $2,000 annually — which would adequately if not extravagantly support a family of four.


 * “Advertising” Information or Manipulation? **

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">What are two sides of the death penalty? Is it a cruel murderer or just punishment? Can it be a deterrent to crime? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What is capital punishment? Capital punishment is the death penalty. It is used today and was used in ancient times to punish a variety of offense. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Capital punishment was legal until 1972, when the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in Furman V. Georgia stating that it violated the Eight and Fourteen Amendments citing cruel and unusual punishment. However, in1976, the Supreme Court reversed itself with Gregg v. Georgia and reinstated the death penalty but not all states have the death penalty. Thirteen sites do not have the death penalty: Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Iowa, Main, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. I thing that death penalty is just a punishment, and can’t be a deterrent to crime. Death penalty need to be performed to people who kill other people. “One man kills his son, and he didn’t regret for that.” <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> This sick person should be tortured to death. It can be his death penalty. I thing it is the best thing of death penalty. This person should be tortured, not just immediately be killed. He deserves to suffer, and to request to die.
 * Advertising, a word that is synonym to the word marketing, has a rich back round. When we talk about marketing the first things that come to our mind are money, goods, services, and of course consumers. Advertising’s role should only exist in order to help society by real information about products and services, decide what to purchase according to people’s actual needs. One definition of advertising is: "Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media. We could separate advertising in two categories. Giving information through advertising about a product is the first category that is innocent when facing the costumers. The second category has a manipulative effect on people. People exposed to specific advertisements are led to buy goods and services or do things that don’t actually want to do. Information is defined as knowledge, facts or news. However, we should bear in mind that one person's information is another person's trick, particularly when advertisers talk about their products. Information comes in many forms. It can be complete or incomplete. Complete information is telling someone everything there is to know about something: what it is, what it looks like, how it works, what its benefits and drawbacks are. On the other hand, to provide complete information about anything is time consuming and hard. All of this would require a documentary, not a commercial. These ads, as they are called, are an essential part of every type of media. They are placed in television, radio, magazines, and can even be seen on billboards by the roadside. Advertisements allow media to be sold at a cheaper price, and sometimes even free, to the consumer. Advertisers pay media companies to place their ads into the media. Therefore, the media companies make their money off of ads, and the consumer can view this material for a significantly less price than the material would be without the ads. Advertisers' main purpose is to influence the consumer to purchase their product. This particular ad, located in Sport magazine, attracts the outer-directed emulators. The people that typically fit into this category of consumers are people that buy items to fit in or to impress people. Sometimes ads can be misleading in ways that confuse the consumer to purchase the product for a reason other than the actual product was designed for. Advertisers influence consumers by alluding the consumer into buying this product over a generic product that could perform the same task, directing the advertisement towards a certain audience, and developing the ad where it is visually attractive. **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt;">Forests are the lungs of the earth. Should the rain forests destruction be prohibited? How is it possible to protect forests? **

As we all know today, the problem of rainforest destruction is beginning to be a grave concern. The impact of this issue has been the main cause of global warming and climate change. Problems like illegal cutting, mass destruction due to industrial and mining development have become worse through time. Because of this, there are several practices to help prevent forest destruction. Reforestation is one of the most effective ways to prevent rainforest destruction. It is the process of replanting trees in damaged forests. It is a fast and easy solution to a lot of environmental issues like global warming and animal extinction. Recycling is also a great approach to prevent rainforest destruction. It is a method used to process waste materials by undergoing a special treatment. This is done to be able to decrease the usage of new materials. Products like paper, if recycled, would be able to save lots of trees in the rainforest from being cut down. You can help in recycling paper by putting it in a paper shredder and bringing it in the nearest recycling object. Shredding the paper will make it easier for the machine to process. It is the most used waste management method and has been widely practiced in several parts of the world. Participating in environmental campaigns is another way of preventing this problem. Joining government projects like tree planting can be a great place to start. There are also non-government agencies that support this mission. And with your help, rainforest destruction will be a thing of the past. Promoting tourism is also a great means of avoiding forest destruction. Most people subjected to illegal logging are those in the poor areas. Getting them involved in a country's tourism will not only give them livelihood they will also become aware of the effects of what they have previously done. They can also help educate other illegal loggers on the possible consequences of rainforest destruction for future generations. Education is the most effective way to conserve the rainforest. Being involved with programs such as environmental awareness campaigns will not only give you peace of mind, it will also provide you with a better idea about how we can help in our way to save our living planet. Rainforest conservation will not only benefit the present time, it will also secure a better future for our children.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">Should society assume more responsibility for pregnant teenagers and children they bear? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">We live in world full of serotypes, problems, where the people are happy on other accident. For not enough education very young teenagers stay pregnant. The number of pregnant teenagers more increases in this society. But society doesn’t do anything for these mother-teenagers. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> I thing they didn’t wanted to have baby so young. But now they can’t do anything, for this. They are still young; maybe don’t have finished High school. And for that can’t find job, and don’t have money to support them child. On one side they should to mind about this, before to make their child. On other side, now they can’t do anything about that. Now, they want to someone help them. It’s not easy to have children whole young. I don’t justify this pregnant, but this was happened and someone needs to help on this teenagers. Someone can give them work, someone to help them to finish high school, and than to find good job. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Without every negative thing of pregnant teenagers, I thing that society should to assume more responsibility for pregnant teenagers and children they bear.

Necessary nutrients, proteins, and amino acids for the body's sustenance can be found in vegetables, grains, nuts, soymilk, eggs and dairy. A properly planed vegetarian diet can reduce risks of heart disease and  <span style="color: #333300; font-family: -webkit-sans-serif,serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none;">osteoporosis  <span style="color: #333300; font-family: -webkit-sans-serif,serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">.

People who want to live a healthy live without consuming animal products. It is not a decision for protecting an animal but a decision for a healthy life.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Should the animals be used for scientific research? It is humanly? <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Who is the first one in drinking a new type of coke or PepsiCo? Who is the first one in taking a tablet of aspirin? Who is the first one in using shampoos? Did you know all these things? The one I’m referring to is the animal—cat, rabbit, rat and so on which are widely and cruelly used in various kinds of scientific researches, and millions of them die every year. Every life created by god is equal. Bearing that in mind, a huge amount of people have been no-animal-testing users. They strongly propose that animals shall not be used in scientific researches. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Experiment animals are protective walls of human beings’ health. They are routinely cut open, poisoned and then caged in for weeks, months or even years. Some animals are often given diseases to see whether a new drug will work or whether it has side effects. Some animals are killed by researchers in order to see the degree of damage inside their bodies. And we can often see that baby cats or rabbits being separated from their mothers on TV too. This is not moral. Things can be made clearer by turning it round. If there is a day when all these animals become masters of this planet, and we human beings become “slaves”—the scientific research targets. What would we think about? It is reported that there are 3million animals die annually in scientific researches in UK. The number is about 115 million in America. Statistics show that an animal dies for scientific researches every three seconds. However, the exact number of animals killed in the researches every year is unknown, for researchers or governments never care about these dead, not to mention counting the numbers. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Animals should not be used in scientific research
