 * ESSAY TOPICS**


 * 1. What do you think the most serious problem in the world is and why??**

That's a very difficult question which people far smarter than me have been debating for years. The obvious answer is for the root of the issue would be something like "Assure a person's ability to live comfortably" but that goes into dozens of facets of the government, medical facilities, blah blah blah it goes on and on. Ultimately I would say that even without a solid plan, I wish more industrialized countries' citizens would be a bit more sympathetic. You read a story on people dying in impoverished natures and people who comment things like "I'm able to see the hard truth and stomach that it's a necessary evil. Overpopulation is a problem and this is nature's way of helping through natural selection." Sure, it might be necessary as a short-term thing, but I don't think it's fair for the people least affected by starvation to be the ones that think they're edgy and brave for facing a truth that it's ok to not care if lots of people die, because *we're* ok. I'll tell you what, if their city sudden had all the problems of a Zimbabwe village they aren't going to be thinking "With our necessary deaths!". They'll be thinking "Why won't someone help us?"


 * 2. Think of something you really like doing (sport, hobby..)**

My favourite sport is tennis. I began playing it when I was nine or ten. The first four years it was more like a play, but now it's more serious. I train 4-5 days a week, but it's only two of the days, which is real training with a trainer. The other days I just play matches or have my training with my brother or my dad. In my training group there are nice people. We use to play matches, smash, serve match balls, volley and we run a lot too. I know I have forgotten something we usually do, but I have written the most important things. Maybe you know who the sisters William are? They are very good tennis players and very famous in the whole world. Tennis is not so easy to play, because there's a lot of hard technique you must learn to become a good tennis player. But it's very fun to play and I guess I will continue with tennis for a lot of years. When you know the technique, it's very easy and even more fun. If I should recommend a sport, I really say TENNIS and I think you should test it sometime.


 * 3.What has been the best period in your life and why?**

Though my stage of life is same as yours but yes I do have some of the best moments of my life with me. There are probably two best moments that I think I can never forget. First it was **when I talked my best friend for whole night**and din't noticed that its turning morning and that night was so soothing, cool breeze flowing and me on my cell phone walking around my top of the house floor. Moon light walk with a cool breeze and some real happy moments were shared. We almost discussed our whole life in one night. We pampered each other when needed and I even sang songs for her on her demand as I am singer by chance as well lolz... Can never forget those lovely moments, just can't pen down them here in words. Secondly the best moment that I had was one I was given **a surprise party by friends on my birthday.** I am talking about my the birthday that went by. He just asked me to be at his place that night as it was usual that many times we use to stay together for combined studies, and it was just like that. //I was surprised to see that all my friends were there with a cake, coldrinks, other eatables, music, dance etc etc.// Another memorable moment that I can never forget. These moments probably make me emotional when I recall them. Most cherished moments of my life.


 * 4 .If you were given one milion dollars to spend how would you spend it?**

Hmmmm a lot of money! Well I'll split it in two. $500k for me and $500k to all my family, relatives, friends, charity, church, and to poor family's out there. Then I'll buy a new house, car, and a lot of gadgets. haha. I'll buy my future kids educational plans. Don't know if it's possible though. I'll go to a spa and get all the best hottest lady masseurs there. wahahaha. After that I'll buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend as well as a weeding ring for us. And then buy a weeding package. So we're all set for the weeding. lol. Then we'll go shopping. By the end of the day I'll go to a 5 star hotel/resort with my girlfriend and propose to her there. Maybe that's all worth 500 thousand dollars now.


 * **5. Most people feel that they have learned some lessons in their life?**


 * 1) I have learned that being creative is divine. When people create, they are in peak state, in flow. Find something creative and enjoyable to do and practice being in this divine state. You can draw, cook, grow plants, write, dance, play a musical instrument or sing. Enjoy every moment.
 * 2) I have learned that happiness is a choice and that in every moment in life, no matter what happens to me, I have a choice to find happiness. Find the things that make you happy and dedicate your life to enjoying them every day.
 * 3) I have learned that travelling to a new country helped me look at my life in a different way. It made me appreciate what I already had and think of new ways to improve my life. Find new destinations to explore. In every new place, there is the magic of finding perspective. ||
 * 6.Choose an important person that you have looked up to and who has helped you in your life!**

For someone important person is father and some mother and so on….if you gonna talk about important person in your life there are gonna be pretty much…but what do we mean when we say that person was important in my life!? that individual was important in what? education?nurturing you?bringing up you as well as usually all parents do? I don't know what to say cause I didn't get the point??? as for me the important thing in my life was life itself…i don't mean that i'm orphan or something…but was brought up to get all I need from life..life is a teacher, master, it points you where to go what to do….. but the persons that I really appreciate love respect and can do every thing for them are my parents…I love them..good bless them and all of you…


 * 7. What is more important to a pereson education, things learned in school or thought life experience?**

School is to teach information: history, how to add and divide, and build a DNA chain. All these things help to get good grades on tests, but will they really help in the long run or are they as important as the lessons learned through experience? Book smarts intice the mind and become very important in making a person as smart as they can be. But for some people, the day to day learning experiences outside school become more useful than any day spent in a classroom. They argue that no text book can teach you how to deal with an unfair boss or how to manage things when a loved one is lost. Being a genius with studies shows tremendous accomplishment, but lacking the ability to communicate or deal with people, makes putting the knowledge to use and getting a job very hard.School can sometimes be boring, I cannot argue with that, but it is key to developing not only book smarts, but also social skills. Confidence and learning how to gain and keep responsibility pave the road to success in the world outside school. Not appreciating the lessons learned in school is like rowing a boat with one oar just like trying to get through life with only the information found in school books leaves the rower an oar short. To prevent drowning in the waves of ignorance and knowledge, a person must have both experience and knowledge. By applying lessons learned in school to real life and vice versa, a person is more likely to work to his potential and succeed in life.


 * 8. What is the reasons for returning to school this year??**

Well there are many reasons for returning to school this year..But the more importants is to finish my high school education, the matura party and the last moments with my scholl friends..Its beautiful to think that you are no just a little girl, you are now a oun person prepare to earn a oun money and be something in the life.


 * ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY TOPICS

1.Should we do more to deal with the problem of domestic violence,or is the problem exaggerated?**

Domestic violence has always been a serious problem. Some think that it’s not a big deal, while some say that it’s a problem that should be noticed. Domestic violence should be noticed because it not only causes physical injuries, but also hurting on the inside. If the victims are not healed, there will be more and more problems. Domestic violence is a problem that we should do more to deal with. Neglecting the problem and pretending nothing’s there is not going to help. The society should face this problem as a serious problem. The government should have departments with strong groups of people that can really reach into every single family that has domestic violence problems. This helps the government know more about their people, and also helps keep the victims away from domestic violence and other relating problems, in order to give the rights back to them. The domestic violence problem is not exaggerated. If we don’t focus on this, the amount of victims will increase. Domestic violence causes serious injuries, even death. As a result, more and more people will get hurt and die. Next, the news of people dying because of domestic violence will spread, and they will make people sad and depress. Then, there might be more crime and suicide because people are feeling blue. The problem will grow bigger and the society will be suffering the crisis. The hurting is not only physical, but also on the inside. Although the physical pain is already gone, the hurting inside isn’t easy to be healed. This will lead to some problems like people not trusting others, murder, or doing violence to others as well. The victims may have problems dealing with their family and other people. In conclusion, domestic violence should not be ignored, for ignoring it bring bigger crisis. Therefore, neglecting domestic violence is not a solution. We should consider these problems seriously, not saying that they are exaggerated.


 * 2.We are becoming overwhelmingly dependent on computers. Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?**

This is very true! i would say it is a good thing but not for all of us. especially not for children who forget to do anything else then to play pc games. but not only the children spend a lot of time in front of the pc playing games, even grown up people do this. in rest pc and the internet are very helpful. It would be a very hard life without this two components of our life. What is a big problem is that children become more and more addicted of pc and internet and we should expect that in the future we won’t see anymore children outside playing together. But let’s hope that the world will not change so much and in the near future we will still see children playing with balls or other games, but not in front of the pc. Before I met the internet and the pc it all was so simple, but now I can’t imagine my life without them. And I don’t think that it’s a bad thing because they make my life easier and I’m not addicted of them wich is the most important thing. Internet really is the greatest invention. But the parents who buy pc’s to their children should be very careful at them and they should make them a program, not too long, when they can stay in front of their pc and play. Another not so good thing is that since the internet appeared books and newspapers tragically became less and less used. The authors have a very hard time trying to sale their creations, and children started to forget about reading old but good books. And of course if you would ask a child who plays a lot on the pc, about a very famous but old author he won’t know anything about him unless he studied him at school. This I must say it is a very bad thing and it’s growing, just like the internet but in the other way!


 * 3.@Is there too much of commercialism in the Internet?**

Having recently read an article about the way in wich eBay and MercadoLibre are planning to work in the following years, there are no doubts whatsoever that there is too much commercialism in the Internet. Put it in this way, this seems to be something bad. But in fact, this is not. Commercialism is practically the basis that supports much of the nternet. First of all, to have an e-mail account on Hotmail or Yahoo is technically free of charge. It is possible that you pay for your connection to the Net. But you don´t pay a regularly sum of money just to keep your e-mail account activated, as you are supposed to do with, for example, accounts in banks. And it is exctly with commercialism, more presicely with advertising that the accounts succed to survive. It is probable that you have noticed that within your e-mail page and within any web page there are a lots of advertising links. Well, the people behind those brands and enterprises which offer all kind of services and products through the Internet do really pay monthly sums of money. On the other hand, commerce itself leaves a lot of money on the nternet, and it is also a means by which it continues existing. The business of buying and selling things through the Net is nowadays lead by the two wordly enterprises eBay and MercadoLibre which until September 2006 have worked together in the market. By offering the best garantees to customers who use these companies and the fewer requirementes for the ones who want to register on them, eBay and MercadoLibre are the most real proof that commercialism is a greater part of the Internet. The thing is, that this is not as bad as we think. the advantages of Internet are, undoubtely, a lot. And as I said, Internet existes practically because of commerce. Consaquently, there are no rasons to worry if the presence of it is too high on the Net.


 * 4.Technology makes communication easier in today's world. Many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen!**

People don't usually pay attention to how they sit in front of the pc. Some say that it depends on everyone's preference and there are no any rules, some lay out some vague basic rules and that's it. Well, this is not good enough. I've been a programmer for more than 20 years and can tell you that there are indeed rules one should at least try to follow when working with the computer in order to keep a healthy back, eyes, arms and legs. People would also like to enjoy the time they spend in front of pc, so the sitting position, the distance from the monitor, the arm and leg positions play important role in their mood, desire to work or browse internet or play or chat with someone. After all, would someone spend a lot of time in an uncomfortable position? Would someone go through the pain doing something for hours if this is supposed to be fun? I am doubted.As I said before, I've been working with computers for many years and therefore should know what right and what's wrong as people in chemical factories know how do deal with hazardous chemicals or people in army know what to do in case of a missile strike or a nuclear attack. Below I give some advice on how to work with the computer. I assume the computer is a desktop and there's a monitor in front of a person. The laptop usage in the bed, in the garden, on the train and in other possible and impossible places is not covered here.


 * 5.Should the animals be used for scientific research? Is it humanly?**

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. 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 3 million 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. But why don’t governments do something about this? The answer is simple: money. From animal breeders to companies, from companies to researchers, from researchers to governments, from governments to companies, animals used in experiment have already become an industry wearing a shining golden coat.
 * 6.Should the cigarettes smoking be banned as heroin consumption?**

Smoking is a recreational activity in which a substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled. This is primarily done as a form of recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of religious or non-religious rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, either industrially manufactured or rolled with loose tobacco and a rolling paper. Other forms, though not as common are pipes, cigars, bongs and hookahs. Smoking is one of the most common forms of recreational drug use. Tobacco smoking is today by far the most popular form of smoking and is practiced by over one billion people in the majority of all human societies. Less common drugs for smoking include cannabis and opium. Most drugs that are smoked are considered to be addictive. Some of the substances are classified as hard narcotics, like heroin and crack cocaine, but the use of these is usually limited to socially marginalized groups.The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5 000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Tobacco has been cultivated and smoked in the Americas for at least 5 000 years, originating in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes. The smoking of cannabis in India has been practiced for over 4 000 years. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies; as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment. After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and Subsaharan Africa, it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown.


 * 7.Should drivers of automobiles be prohibited from using cellular phones?**

Nowadays, cellular phones become most important necessaries in our life. A cellular phone is an electronic telecommunications device with the same basic capability as a conventional fixed-lined telephone but which is entirely portable and does not require a wire connection to a network. But most of people using cellular phones anywhere and anytime without realize about safety. As we notice, drivers of automobiles are always using cellular phone when driving. In my opinion, drivers of automobiles should be prohibited from using cellular phones. Although using cellular phones has many advantages, there is some reason that the driver of automobiles should be prohibited from using cellular phones when drive for our sake.As we know, using 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. One such study conducted by the television show Mythbusters conclude that use of cellular phones while driving poses the same risk as someone operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. It is because the driver did not concentrate to their ways. For example, the driver has to hold cellular phone with one hand and the other hand have to control the automobile. This situation can make his driving performance uncontrolled. In addition, if the driver wants to reply a message that also can make he did not focus to drive. So those, the risk of accident to occur are high. They are endangering the passengers, other motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians because they can create hazardous accidents by acting and driving foolishly.Another argument that the drivers of automobiles should be prohibited from using cellular phones while driving is the burden of victim’s family. It is because the accident can makes injuries, handicapped and suffering from physical or mental disability!!!


 * 8.@Should restrictions be placed on the use of mobile phonesin public areas like restaurants and theaters?**

LetsTalk's [|PhoneTalk] blog wants to add new voices to its website, and they're posting regular Cases here for the Insight Community to add interesting new content to their site. The winning submissions for each Challenge Case will be posted (perhaps with some editing) on the PhoneTalk blog -- with credits to the author. The following is LetsTalk's next assignment: Talking loudly on a cell phone in public is pretty much universally frowned upon. There have been plenty of attempts to ban mobile phones in classrooms and theaters, but is there a [|better way] to let phone users know when it's not appropriate to use their phones? Are there technological solutions that would help? What do you think of [|subvocal microphones] or [|software] that would prevent dangerous or impolite phone use? What kind of etiquette rules would you suggest for various locations? How could these rules best be enforced?


 * 9.@Shall we integrate from Marketing to E-Marketing?**

Recently two casinos began integration campaigns using [|Lyris HQ's platform]with social and mobile marketing efforts. Both Reno casinos, the [|Eldorado Hotel Casino] and the [|Silver Legacy Resort Casino], improved reach and engagement levels as well as customer experience. The two casinos also doubled mobile opt-in lists and conversion rates."The high customer acquisition and revenue that we have achieved by integrating email with social and mobile marketing has far exceeded our expectations," said Chad Hallert, director of e-commerce, Eldorado Hotel Casino and Silver Legacy Resort Casino. "As we continue to build out our marketing efforts, we want to maximize exposure and relevancy, while better understanding which mediums or campaigns are succeeding and which are not. Lyris HQ's embedded Web analytics enables us to see which campaigns are working so we can architect every customer experience for optimal relevance, timeliness and results."The casinos integrated email messages with mobile alerts and social network profile updates to promote hosted events and upcoming shows. Offline ad spaces were also used."Realigning marketing strategy to accommodate an increasingly social and mobile customer is critical to success. .Using a platform such as Lyris HQ, marketers are able to synchronize entire campaigns so that messages, alerts and postings are published or made available in order and at the right time. This helps to improve the consistency and relevancy of the messages. The integration of email and mobile, social or offline methods also reinforces the brand's message. Rather than a consumer skimming over an email message and forgetting it, the message will be reinforced with Twitter or Facebook updates or even a mobile offer to make a purchase or sign up for more information.


 * 10.@Should the death penalty be mandatory for people that killother people?**

That is, the reasons that we generally have for killing people cannot be used to justify capital punishment. In particular, Roy believes that there are only two circumstances where killing a person is justified: in self-defense or during war. In the case of self-defense, killing a person is justified only if the intruder poses an immediate threat to your life –e.g. it would be wrong to incapacitate the intruder and later kill him. Similarly, in the case of war, a soldier is only allowed to kill people who pose a threat to him –e.g. it would be wrong for him to kill a civilian or an enemy soldier that he has incapacitated and taken prisoner.If the above statements are true, it follows that war and self-defense both rely on the following premise to justify killing people: One is allowed to kill other people if they pose an immediate threat to his or her life.Roy then goes on to show how capital punishment cannot be justified through appealing to self-defense or war because of the above premise; that is, since an incapacitated person poses no immediate threat to anyone, what gives anyone the right to kill him? But then what premise does capital punishment rely on? If it relied on, for example, retribution, then why does the following example seem wrong: You come home to find a man in the process of killing your family; you grab the man and incapacitate him before he is able to kill your wife, but afterwards you find out he has killed your oldest son; you tie him up and shoot him in the head. You know he killed your family and think that he deserves to die, should you kill him? No, you should leave him tied up and call the police.If, in this situation we believe that the man should not kill the person, then how can we justify giving the state the right to kill the person? For what reason would the government have a monopoly on retribution – if it is wrong for a person to use excessive force and kill an incapacitated intruder or POW, it is just as wrong for a large group of people–i.e. the state–to kill an incapacitated prisoner, regardless of what crime he has committed.The above was just a brief summary of Weatherford’s arguments.


 * 11.Should the "@Right to Die " be Considered a Right?**


 * The Court first addressed the issue of the right to die in the 1990 case of //Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health//. In //Cruzan//, the Court considered whether Missouri could insist on proof by "clear and convincing evidence" of a comatose patient's desire to terminate her life before allowing her family's wish to disconnect her feeding tube to be carried out. Although eight of nine justices--only Scalia disagreed--concluded that the right to die was a liberty protected by the Due Process Clause, a bare majority of the Court upheld the state's insistence upon clear and specific evidence that the patient would wish to have intravenous feeding discontinued. The //Cruzan// decision spurred considerable evidence in "living wills" which clearly express an individuals desire to discontinue treatment or feeding in specified circumstances. (Later, additional evidence of Nancy's wishes was discovered and feeding was discontinued, leading to her death.) ****Seven years later the Court faced right to die issues again in two cases involving challenges to laws criminalizing physician-assisted suicide. The lower courts in each case, one involving a Washington state law and another a New York statute, found the laws unconstiutional--at least as applied (the 9th Circuit decision rested on due process right-to-privacy grounds, the 2nd Circuit decision on equal protection grounds.) The Supreme Court reversed in both cases, finding the laws to be constiutional. Although the Court interpreted //Cruzan// as recognizing a right to refuse medical treatment, the Court found no constitutional basis for a right to assisted suicide. Three justices in concurring opinions (O'Connor, Breyer, Stevens) indicated that they might be willing to uphold "more particularized challenges" to such laws, such as--for example--an //as applied// challenge to a state's refusal to assist a terminally ill patient in severe pain from ending his or her life. ****In 2006, in //Gonzales v Oregon//, the Court decided another right-to-die case, although this one primarily on administrative law grounds, not constitutional grounds. Voting 6 to 3, the Court ruled that Attorney General Ashcroft exceeded his powers under the Controlled Substances Act when he threatened prosecution against Oregon doctors prescribing lethal drugs under that state's Death with Dignity Act. Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy concluded that regulation of medical practices was primarily a job for the states and that Ashcroft failed to recognize "the background principles of our federal system."

12. @What are two sides of the death penalty? Is it a cruel murderer or a just punishment? Can it be a deterrent to crime?**

 Capital punishment is a difficult subject to discuss as there are many different opinions that all contain some truth about this issue. Some believe it is fair and just to administer the death penalty when criminals take a life or lives, while others think that it is cruel and unusual punishment for civilized societies. Many Christians are divided on this issue as well, with some following the Old Testament law of capital punishment and others choosing the seemingly gentler side of the Bible--the New Testament--as the basis for their opposition to this law. Are these two Testaments in opposition to each other? Since God does not contradict Himself, perhaps we need a deeper understanding of the Bible as a //whole//. Where did the idea of capital punishment come from? The first definition in the Webster's New World Dictionary for the word //"capital"// is: //1) Involving or punishable by death (originally by decapitation) (a capital offense)//. Decapitation was the beheading of those who were convicted of any crime deserving the death penalty (thus //Capital// comes from the Latin word //"capitalis"// which means //"of the head"//). Murder, treason and other high crimes were punishable by death. Usually the state or governments set the standards for carrying out this punishment. However, before governments established this practice, the idea of capital punishment was first instigated by God in the Old Testament in the Bible.


 * 13.Should animal experimentation be permitted?**

The topic of animal experimentation has always been of great interest to me. I grew up with a tremendous love for animals, always believing that all animals, big or small, are equal in terms of importance and worth when compared to any human being. While growing up, I always had pets of my own, whether it is a cat, dog, or even guinea pig. I was taught at a young age to be nice and respectful toward animals, which was easy to do in a home that constantly tried to help any animals in need. My pets were not just considered "pets" to me, but were rather considered my friends and I quickly had dreams of becoming a veterinarian, before realizing how difficult and heartbreaking that job would be for me. As time moved on, my love for animals grew and I began to be more aware of the experimentation and research that went on involving animals. Through my own research, I became aware of the unbelievably high number of animals that are used and abused each year for research that often reveals information that is not even useful. I read through some of the horrific experiments that have been done on animals in recent time and even viewed pictures of the experiments themselves, as well as the ending result in terms of the animals' state of being or in many cases, lack thereof. Needless to say, researching the issue of animal experimentation has, on several occasions, brought me to tears.


 * 14.****Euthanasia as a way of relieving ill people's pain and save them from the tortures of their illness. Do we have the right to take people's life, if after all life is the greatest charisma?**

In dealing with an objection to the view of abortion presented in Chapter 6, we have already looked beyond abortion to infanticide. In so doing we will have confirmed the suspicion of supporters of the sanctity of human life that once abortion is accepted, euthanasia lurks around the next comer - and for them, euthanasia is an unequivocal evil. It has, they point out, been rejected by doctors since the fifth century B.C., when physicians first took the Oath of Hippocrates and swore 'to give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel'. Moreover, they argue, the Nazi extermination programme is a recent and terrible example of what can happen once we give the state the power to MI innocent human beings. I do not deny that if one accepts abortion on the grounds provided in Chapter 6, the case for killing other human beings, in certain circumstances, is strong. As I shall try to show in this chapter, however, this is not something to be regarded with horror, and the use of the Nazi analogy is utterly misleading. On the contrary, once we abandon those doctrines about the sanctity of human life that - as we saw in Chapter 4 - collapse as soon as they are questioned, it is the refusal to accept killing that, in some cases, is horrific. 'Euthanasia' means, according to the dictionary, 'a gentle and easy death', but it is now used to refer to the killing of those who are incurably ill and in great pain or distress, for the sake of those killed, and in order to spare them further suffering or distress. This is the main topic of this chapter. I shall also consider, however, some cases in which, though killing is not contrary to the wishes of the human who is killed, it is also not carried out specifically for the sake of that being. As we shall see, some cases involving newborn infants fall into this category. Such cases may not be 'euthanasia' within the strict meaning of the term, but they can usefully be included within the same general discussion, as long as we are clear about the relevant differences. Within the usual definition of euthanasia there are three different types, each of which raises distinctive ethical issues. it will help our discussion if we begin by setting out this threefold distinction and then assess the justifiability of each type.


 * 15****** **Forests are the lungs of the earth. Should the rain forests destruction be prohibited? How is it possible to protect forests?********

Like tropical forests all over the world, Siberut holds a rich store of unusual plant and animal life, some still known only to the islanders whose ancestors settled here approximately 3,000 years ago. In fact, for its size--just 4,500 square kilometers-- Siberut contains an extraordinary number of species found nowhere else in the world. Scientists say that 65 percent of the animals and about 15 percent of the plants on Siberut are endemic. Siberut and its inhabitants appear doomed, however. Commercial logging is not the only reason, though it is the most visible and destructive one. Government-backed "development" projects also threaten the island's ancient and delicate world. At the same time, the rapid erosion of traditional culture has led Siberut's people themselves to play a significant role in the rainforest's demise. Siberut is small, but many of the struggles being played out here are being repeated in rainforests throughout the country, and perhaps the world. What is happening here suggests that the challenge of rainforest conservation is more complex than usually acknowledged in the industrial world. Certainly, Siberut offers proof that logging cannot be conducted sustainably in rainforests, even when the timber is supposed to be "selectively" felled. But the social and economic changes taking place on this island also raise questions about many environmentalists' approach to rainforest conservation. Those who call for a halt to logging of tropical forests have largely failed to suggest workable alternatives that take into account tropical countries' national development needs. Moreover, in their efforts to save the world's rainforests, environmentalists may be as guilty of ignoring local peoples' rights and aspirations as commercial loggers and government officials. On Siberut, for example, some environmentalists advocate bans on hunting in most of the forest and on the clearing of trees to make gardens. The Siberut people, not surprisingly, are opposed. When asked about this conflict, Marcel Silvius, Indonesian coordinator for the environmental group Asia Wetlands Bureau, admits, "Our concern [as environmentalists] is not with the present generation."**
 * Siberut, Indonesia--The Indonesian island of Siberut appears in the distance as a small, dark green mass in the midst of the Indian Ocean. As one approaches, the green breaks into a kaleidoscope of textures and shades, an awesome variety of tree limbs and leaves. Siberut is a rainforest, one of thousands in the vast, archipelago nation of Indonesia.

There was once an old, doing farmer __how had worked hard in his vineyard all his life.__ Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers. So hi called them to his bedside and said. ‘My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I’m dead.’ The sons are gave their promise and __as soon their father had died__ they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot __sun and while they were working that thought about what their father had said.__ They pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things. __Soon they had dug up ever inch of the vineyard__ but they found not a single penny. They were very upset __because they felt that their hard work had been for nothing.__ However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines. Their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood and they sold them for a lot of money. Now the sons understood __what their father had meant by the great treasure__ and they lived happily ever after.

There was once an emperor who lived in a place. He had three daughters but no sons. He wanted his daughter to marry before he died. He found three princes. Haw ever her druthers didn’t like them. They refused to marry the princes so the emperor became very angry. He said they must get married during they where sixteen years old. The three daughters run away as soon as the night and found work on a farm. They fell in love with the farmer’s sons when they were working there. They married the sons while they were sixteen. Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, begin a child has both __pros and cons__. __One advantage is that,__ you have very few responsibilities. __For instance__, you don’t have to go to work, pay bills, or do the shopping, cooking or cleaning. This means you have plenty of free time to do whatever you want- watching TV, play on the computer, go out with friends, play sports, or purse other hobbies. __Moreover__, public transport, cinema, and sport centers cost much less for children. __In fact__, begin a child is exciting, action-packed time in life. However, of every plus there is a minus. __One advantage is that__, you have to spend all day, Monday to Friday, at school. Studding usually means you have to do homework, and you have to do exams. __Another point is that__, you may have a lot of free times, but you are rarely allowed to do whatever you want. You usually have to ask your parents if you can do things, from going shopping in town to staying out late or going to the party. __Finally__, although there are often cheaper prices for children, things are still expansive- and parents are not always generous with pocked money. There’s never enough to do everything you want. __All things considered__ sometimes there’s not enough to do anything at all! __In conclusion__ although some people see childhood as the best time in life, __in my opinion__ children have no real choice, money, and independence all bring responsibilities and restriction- witch increase with age. 1. Don’t have to go to work --- have to go to school Monday to Friday. 2. Can’t go out to parties with friends --- need to ask your parents’ permission. 3. Don’t have to cook and clean --- have to do homework and take exams. 4. Costs less to do things --- and never given enough pocket money.

 * MAKING A RESERVATION**

MY FAVORITE ROOM** The room in our house __I like best__ is our kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen is the most important room in many houses, but it is particularly so in our house because it’s not only __where family and friends come together,__ but it’s also the place __where we cook and eat__. I have so many happy memories of times spend there: ordinary daily events such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter mornings for children __who are cross and sleepy__, before sending them off to school, or special occasions such as homecoming or cooking Christmas dinner. Whatever we have a party, people gravitate with their drinks to the kitchen. It’s always ends up the fullest and noisiest room in the house. So what does the special room look like? It’s quite big, but not huge. It’s big enough to have a good-sized rectangular table in the centre, __which is the focal point of the room__. There is a large window above the sink, looking out onto two apples trees in the garden. There’s big, old cooking stove at one end, and at the other ends wall with a huge notice board __with tells and stories__ of our lives, past, present, and future: a school photo of the kids, a postcard from Auntie Nancy, __whose family have all emigrated__ to Australia, the menu from a take-away Chinese restaurant, an invitation to a wedding __that we’re going next to Saturday__, a latter from a friend __we haven’t seen for a years__. All our world is there for everyone to read! The front door is seldom used is our house, only by strangers. All our friends use the beck door __which means__ they come straight into the kitchen and join in whatever is happened there. The kettle goes on immediately and then we all sit round the table, drinking tea and putting the world to rights! Without doubt some of the happiest times of my life have been spent in our kitchen.
