The table illustrates information about the underground railway system in six significant cities around the world such as (London, Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC, Kyoto, and Los Angeles). The length of the route was calculated in kilometers, whereas the number of passengers was given per year in million. Overall, as shown in the table London is having the oldest railway system which was opened in 1863, and the longest route 394 km, compared to other cities London is having almost twice the length of the route. However, Tokyo was having the highest number of passengers which is 1927 million. On the other hand, the most recent railway system opening was in 2001 in Los Angeles, where the number of passengers recorded a lower value at 50 million. In addition, the least value recorded for passengers per year was in Kyoto at 45 million. Both Los angles and Kyoto are having the shortest route length which is 28 km and 11 km. But as for Paris, the route length is 199 km coming in the second longest route among the given cities.

Some people think by encouraging a sense of competition in the youngster can lead to the development of a strong personality and determined mind. But, others think youngsters who were taught to share and be corporative will turn into helpful adults. The sense of competition indeed can generate excitement and can push youngsters to give their best. On the other hand, the competitive feeling can cause hatred among children, especially if the parents were pressuring their child to always take the lead. For example, when I was nine years old I used to have a friend in my class that had a great sense of competition. She often caused problems when she lose or answered wrong. Unfortunately, the teacher got to know with the encouragement of her parents the girl felt pressured and the fear of disappointing them. In addition, parents can teach their children to co-operate and to engage with other youngster, to motivate them and to help them learn how to share, which can become a great experience when they get older and be more understanding and considerate. However, a sense of competition is not always frustrating it can encourage a youngster to develop new behavior that can help them to discover adventurous journeys. Furthermore, being competitive among children might attract shy children to engage more and break the wall of fear. In my opinion, teaching children to co-operate is far better than being competitive. It can improve children behaviour in positive way. In conclusion, while people agree to encourage children to have sense of competition, I agree that childern can share and help each other without the need of being competitive.

The table sheds light on the metro systems in six cities, outlining their dates of opening, lengths of route and annual passenger volumes. Overall, the earliest opening of underground system took place in London. It is also apparent that London has the longest metro routes. In addition, the number of underground passengers in Tokyo is larger than that in any other cities mentioned in the table. As shown in this table, the opening of the subway system in London took place in 1863, which was earlier than that in any other cities outlined in this table. In Paris, Tokyo, Washington DC and Kyoto, the metro systems began to be operationalised in the 20th century. The latest opening of metro system took place in Los Angeles in 2001. As for the lengths of route, the capital of the UK has underground routes of 394 kilometres, which are longer than any other cities, such as Paris (199 kilometres), Tokyo (155 kilometres), Washington DC (126 kilometres), Los Angeles (28 kilometres) and Kyoto (11 kilometres). In terms of the annual passenger quantity, the figure reaches 1927 million in the capital of Japan, which is larger than that in any other cities. The second largest figure of passenger volume was in Paris, reaching 1191 million. The yearly number of passengers reaches less than 1000 million in each of other four cities.

There is a debatable issue regarding competition and cooperation. Some people hold that adolescents should be encouraged to compete, while others disagree and argue that teaching children to work together is more important. This essay will analyse both positions and illuminate my standpoint. As for those highlighting the importance of competition, these people may have their position grounded upon the fact that children can learn a lot by competing against each other, especially when they encounter numerous obstacles brought by their strong opponents and suffer failures. Only under such adverse conditions can children understand their drawbacks and the ways of improvement. Apart from that, if children have hard-earned victories over competent rivals, they are likely to gain tremendous pleasure of success as well as huge confidence that motivates them to keep working diligently and achieve more success. On the contrary, in terms of those attaching greater importance to cooperation than to competition, these people may justify their position by citing a large number of examples elucidating the role of collaboration in various tasks, such as the production of a high-tech gadget of which the parts are manufactured by different countries, and a formal meeting where people present their respective views on a given issue in order to comprehenively understand the situation. Admittedly, these examples sufficiently explain the importance of cooperation. However, this does not mean that cooperation must outweigh competition since the two ways of interaction influence us differently and it is rather impractical to identify which one is more influential to us. To sum up, competition and cooperation benefit us in different ways. It is hardly possible to conclude which one is more important to us.

The given table provides dataset on subway systems in 6 different cities in 3 different cities in 3 distinctive continents. The figures are displayed in terms of inauguration date, the length of route, in kilometers, and number of passengers in millions. Overall, the table outlines that older systems also are longer in extension and have more passengers. London, Paris and Tokyo were opened before the first half of the twentieth century (1863, 1900 and 1927 respectively). The former has the longest route (394 km) and latter the shortest (155 km); on the other hand the Japanese city has almost three times more passengers than the English capital. The cities with younger systems, namely Washington DC, Kyoto and Los Angeles were all opened after 1970. The North American cities have respectively 126 km and 28 km; while the Asian city accounts for 11 km. The capital of the US has the highest number of passengers (144 million) and the Asian city, the shortest, 45 million.

The general public debates whether children should be taught to compete or to cooperate to become more helpful adults. This essay will demonstrate that teaching the sense of cooperation is the correct way to raise a child, so she will be more useful because it instigates kindness, which makes a healthier individual and a more inclusive society, thus, creating a healthier community. Although we live in a very competitive world, the constant race for power, a better position corrode the sense of being kind. Every person around becomes a foe, an adversary to be defeated. One may feel entitled to do anything to reach their goals. This behavior will, eventually, change ones personality, making her anxious, depressed if the goals are not achieved or even less prone to comply to the social contract, which results in a more threatening individual than a collaborative one. A healthy and cooperative society organizes itself around what we call social contract, that is, what we can do or cannot do to not harm the others. This value has to be taught since the very beginning of a person's life; as children have a more open mind; as a consequence of that, one can work on behalf of the society creating a safe space and more inclusive community, where anyone can be contribute, regardless of one's abilities, therefore be useful, in different levels. In conclusion, I believe that if we want and expect a collaborative community, we need to teach children to be capable to work as a team.

The chart illustates the receipts made during a week by a small restaurant in a downtown business district. During the week-days have been registered more sales than during the weekend. However, lunches are less pructive that dinners. From Monday to Friday the number of sales gradually increase. Friday is the day in which have been made more sales. Although the lunch in which more sales were made is Wednesday, Friday immediately follows it. Thanks to the number of sales regirered with the dinner, Friday is the day in which the highest budget is obtained with a total of more than $6000 produced during the all day. Instead, on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) the number of receipts are subject to a decrase. In particular on Sanday have been registered the lowest sales. Both lunch and dinner have the lowest amount of receipts produced with a total amout of sales corresponding to $4000. Lunches are in general less productive than dinners. While the dinner on Friday has produced the histest sales (they are equal to $4350), on Sunday lunch have been produced only $1550 of selling. Generally dinners' sales are a thousand dollars more than lunches' ones. However, the highest budget made during lunch time is on Wednesday and is equal to $2595. Instead, the highest sum obtained during dinner time on Friday corresponds to $4350. That is, there is almost two thousand dollars of discrepancy.

Different people used to spend their leisure time in different ways. There is a debate conserning the activities that should be porsued during the free time. There are people who think that it is important to enrich mind with cultural activities such as reading books and doing word puzzles. On the other hand, there are those who suggest that leisure time is made to relax the mind. I believe that a balance between the two extreme views is the better solution. It is very important to give to coltivate our mind with culture. Reading a book, listen to classical musing, play games in which problem solving tricks should be sold is a funny way to spend your time and at the same time exercise the brain. To spend 15 minutes playing a game in which you have to solve math problems or doing world puzzles can be considered as the mental counterpart of the physical workout. To read a book had always been considered as the best way to learn without studying. Another interesting way in which the brain should be trained is by playing an instruments. To focus on some activities that will encourage the development of your skills and more stimuli on your brain is surely one of the best way to spend a part of your leisure time. On the other hand, it is also important to rest. Also your brain need a break. While it is easy to rest your body by sitting on the sofa it is not equally easy to stop your brain and to give to it a break. Listening to classical music, listening to the sounds of the nature, to have a nice walk, do meditations are some ways in which you can rest your mind. Even if it will be time in which the brain is on pause, some positive effect will be noted. Indeed, after only 30 minutues the brain will be recharged and full of energy. In conclusion, I believe that a balance between intellectual activities and total rest of the brain will be the best solution to give to the mind both stimuli and time to recharge itself. Although the positive effects that will be obtained by spending leisure time in activities that improve the mind, the brain like a computer need sometimes to be put in a standby mode, even if just for a very brief period.

general perception for people that working hard during the day will require to rest the mind as mental health needs to unburden the brain from all toxics that gained during the day at work while others focus on brain excercise for refreshment needs this essay will discuss both side argument and and give my pesonal opinion. i strongly against what some people think that rest the mind through listening to music for example or watch TV. can compensate reading and bring comfort to the brain . although we all as human beings need to enjoy some moments with friends , doing some physical activities like sport , dance and spend some time with family lingering in resturants , public parks and gather at night around TV. there is understanding that some of our free time should be spend on reading and playing mind games that rely on our focus to solve some tricky problems. in fact excercises given to our brain by reading and solving puzzles consider as main factor that keep our brain to work perfectly throught out the day , furthermore reading for example will bring more knowledge to us and ultemately more education and better understanding to our surroundings , reading will open minds and accept differences which settle our minds in peace , in the same way doing puzzle games will provide more training to our mind encourage our brain to face bigger problems in our lives. to conclude , its important to everyone to spend some time reading to fuel our mind with knowledge and enhance our memory for better improvement although other activities like sport are so important but we need to balance between our physical and mental health.

Leisure period from our everyday busy schedules is absolutely a well cherished time by most people. What should exactly be done during this free time has been the subject of debate for a while. Some would argue that engaging in simple and less brain tasking activities during this time keeps the mind busy,facilitates mental alertness and sanity.While other scholars would argue that keeping the mind relaxed would improve focus and recharge the mind for when needed at work after the free period has waned off. On the one hand, it seems beneficial to engage in activities that keeps the mind slightly engaged during our leisure period. This is basically due to the fact that some mind consciousness might be lost when idle.Sluggishness may thereforeset in when required to partake in activities that requires full attention. Hence playing chess and games might help maintain ones' awareness during a less busy period. Secondly, getting involved in basic activities like reading and surfing the internet during these free period could also help improve ones intellectual capacity and also overall general knowledge that could well be very beneficial to improving the entire state of the mind. On the other hand, those who say its essential to rest the mind after extensive period of activities might have a point.This is because resting the mind will help recharge Ones' batteries and general condition of the mind. Take for instance, a Tech inclined engineer that uses his mind and brain a lot to profer solutions to complex problems. A liitle period to be calm and relaxed will be of utmost importance to alleviate a potential mind and thoughts exhaustion. In conclusion, while it seems very important and beneficial to rest the mind during leisure period to aid rebooting of the mind and brain.I strongly believe that getting involved is some innovative and creative activities during these period improves our general state of health and mind.

The table charts give information about the type of music album that people of different sex and age have bought in Britain. Rock Music is generally the top sellers. The class of people between 25 and 34 years old buy more albums than the others. Rock music is the the more sold type, whereas classical music is the less purchased. However, there is a divergence concerning the type of listeners of the two types of music. Indeed, Rock Music (the most listened type) is particularly listened by people who are aged between 16-35, they exceed the 30%. Instead, Classical Music is particularly interesting for adults which are aged over 45. Indeed, the more than 20% of people of this age buy classical music. By contrast, the yungers, between 16 and 24 years old, who listened to classical music are almost 0%. Pop music, is the second more purchased type. It is purchased by all the types of people even if no one of the class exceed 30% of buyers. There is a difference that concerns the age of people and their musical interests. Nonetheless, people beteen 25 and 35 year old are those who by the most and different types of music. They purchase around 30% of Rock Music's albums, even if the type they buy the most is Rock Music. They are also interested in buying Classical Music. In the opposite position, there are people aged over 45, who are the less versatile listeners. They used to buy Classical Music album (around the 20%) but less that 10% of them buy Pop or Rock Music.

In the last years the problem of global warming is becaming more and more debated. One of the main causes of the temperature rising are men-made activities. Almost all the activities made by humans produce a huge impact on the natural environment. For instance, some of the usual activities made daily by people are impacting. Indeed, the chemical products they buy and use as well as the ways of trasportation's abuse can be annoverated among the main reasons for global warming. Lastly, even if it is the more impacting, there is the industral system and their production of slags. The first impact made by men-activities concerns the product they use. There are at least three kinds of products that may cause the rising of temperature. First, there are products like lacquaer and foam. Because they were beed uncontrolled used during the last decades, they have been one of the main causes of the Ozone Hole. Spray products, even if they are just suncream or hair conditionars could be very impacting because of their chemical composition. Another men-activity that impact a lot on the environment concern their use of the way of transportation. Indeed, the abuse of private ways of trasportation caused an increasement of pollution and a dramatic increase of the level of petrol in the environment. Petrol is not only one of the main reason for global warming but also the first responsible for sea's pollution. Furthermore, the dayly use of flight cause pollution in the air and now restriction on the abuse of this way of trasportation are trying to be a kind of solution to the problem. Lastly, one of the main causes of global temperatures higher is the industrial system. Indeed, they used to point to the cheaper solution to produce and eliminate the radioactive waste. The problem of a prodaction that does not take care of the environment pointed to use polluting products and machines. Furthermore, the industrial system point to produce more and more causing the waste of energy and raw materials. For instance, the fashion industry is one of the more pulluting in the world. It abuses of materials and energies whithout caring abuut the waste of them. Finally, the problem of the way in which the industries procede in elimnating waste is crucial. Indeed, in the last years they used to disperse the waste on the sea. This tendecy was increased for two reasosns: saving and speed. These are the two eassential words of industrial system. In conclusion, I think there are two main reasons that cause the raising of global temperatures that can be annoverated among the others. Those that concern the personal and daily activities of men (use of determinate products and ways of trasportation) and then those activities operate by the industrial system.

The bar charts below illustrate the different distributions of people who bought pop, rock, and classical music based on gender and age. Overall, male buyers outnumbered female counterparts in all three types. At the same time, the distribution of people favouring pop music was almost identical to those buying rock music albums. However, the percentages for people of different ages fond of classical music showed a huge disparity from the other two types. In detail, nearly 30% of males purchased pop or rock music albums, compared to approximately 19% of female counterparts. Among the four age groups, teenagers (16-24) and young people (25-35) were main pop and rock music supporters, with each group contributing roughly 30%. Around one quarter of people in their middle age (35-45) bought pop or rock music, whereas only one in ten people older than 45 favoured these two types of music. On the other hand, regardless of their gender, classical music lovers only made half proportion as much as those who love pop and rock music. Interestingly, slightly over 20% of people older than 45 paid for classical music albums, while teenagers (16-24) and middle-aged people (25-35) accounted for no more than 3% combined in this category. Nevertheless, young adults who love classical music reached a surprising record at 16%.

Two centuries ago, when people celebrated the evolutionary development brought by industrialization, no one would ever anticipate that a profound change of global climate would be caused by the “machines” humans had made. However, many ecologists point out that human activities have put a massive burden on the ecosystem, which leads to increasingly higher global temperatures. This essay will explain the major causes of global climate change, followed by several plausible solutions. It has been widely recognized that excessive greenhouse gas emissions are the culprit of global climate change, and burning fossil fuels and consuming oil are the leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions. First, our daily life in a modern society heavily relies on electricity, acquired mainly through burning fossil fuels like coal. A colossal amount of smoke, predominantly carbon dioxide, is released during this process. As a result, the smoke captures excessive heat on the Earth, resulting in an increase in global temperatures. Second, consuming oil impacts global temperatures in the same way. As the energy from burning fossil fuels cannot meet the rapidly growing needs, more and more oil extraction programs are set up to acquire petroleum. The process of both drilling oil and consuming it creates a significant amount of greenhouse gases. Thus, burning fossil fuels and consuming oil are significant causes of climate change. However, although lowering greenhouse gas emissions is challenging, several actions could decelerate the effect. One major step is to urge the energy-dependent companies to reduce productivity and create more jobs in green industries. Like large cloth manufacturers, giant companies need a significant portion of energy to keep their machines running every day. By reducing productivity, the amount of energy they need can drop. At the same time, the government should increase investment in green industries to maintain a healthy employment rate. On the other hand, individuals can make their own contribution by reducing their personal carbon footprints. Every small step, such as turning off the lights when leaving home, taking public transportations instead of driving cars, or simply eating less meat, can make big changes. In conclusion, the excessive greenhouse gas emissions released mainly by burning fossil fuels and consuming oil have caused an alarming increase in global temperatures. Nevertheless, this problem could be alleviated by a collective effort of giant companies and individuals.

However, it had a second place in classical music because of 45+ age. 45+ age had teh lowest percentage in pop and rock music, but it got a highest percentage in classical music.

It is true that artificial activities cause temperature rising. While this is a serious problem, it can be solved by keeping the proper line when we use artificial objects. In this essay, i will write the causes of temperatures rising and solution of these problems. The main causes of temperature rising is human-made things. First, many people use air-conditional in summer and this can make glaciers melting. There is a study that too much uses of air-conditional are melting the glaciers. When the glaciers melt, the earth temperatures raise 4'C. In addition, nowadays, many people use cars when they go out. This can be a cause of rising temperature. This is because when we use cars, it spread the exhaust gas which influence to the air and temperatures. However, there are solutions to this problem, one of the ways to solve temperature rising because of man-made is to use proper artificial things. When we use air-conditional in daily life. It is important to remain proper temperature, to 24-26'C. Also, we can wear light clothes instead of using gadgets. Furthermore, when we go to the place which has short distance, we can use bicycles or take a walk instead of cars. On the one hand, people can also use public transfortation when they go to their company. To sum up, it is clear that continually using artificial objects can make our earth warmer, Nevertheless, the issue can be resolved by using the proper amount of home appliances or reduce the amount of uses of vehicles.

Finally, males are the dominant gender on buying Pop Music but there is no indication why, it is just a matter of music taste.

Global warming is a serious global threat that no one can deny. The causes of making temperatures higher can be for various reason, but rencently there is a growing evidence that man-made activties are causing it. Man-made activites such as pollution can be one of the causes. Nowadays, we must focus on how we can deal with them and solbe the problem. This essay will include the causes and the solution on why our earth temperature is increasing. At first, we are polluting the earth without realizing the threats or problems that this can cause in the future, that is because of the unawarness of our society. One of the main causes of the rising temperatures is factories. Factories production can cause severe air pollution, because of the burning waste or by blowing air that include chemicals out to the fresh air. The current rise of temperature is alarming. Deforestation is another reasons to this problem. Deforestation is caused by humans to sell it or use for our own benefit, but in reality we are killing planet earth. To every problem there are solution. Since we are already in this problem; we better find a solution before it is too late. Even though there are man-made activites that are causing the problem, but there are some that can solve it. The introduction of electronic car is the beginning of the solution, where the use of diesel are decreased to make our vehicles more eco-friendly. As we can see today, restaurants and cafes are serving plastic straws; even though, this will not solve the problem immediately, but it is a good start to make our life more friendly to our environment. In conclusion, global warming is a serious issue that must not be avoided. Although, we did put ourselves in this position, but we will also be able to fix it. The causes that drove us to this problem are used for a long time. However, reducing the amount of factory production or introducing eco-friendly machinery can be our way out.

The bar charts enumerate the percentage of British people buying three different genres of music albums. In general, the figures of Pop Music are analogous to those of Rock Music with both having the greatest purchase from young adults. Classical Music albums are mostly bought by middle-aged people. However, all three genres have more purchase from the male population. Looking first of all at Pop and Rock Music albums, nearly 30% men bought them while slightly less than 20% women purchased them. Comparing the age demographics, 25-34 group(more than 30%) contributed to most purchases, followed by approximately 30% of 16-24 and about 25% of 35-44 paid for Pop and Rock albums. Only around 10% of 45+ purchased these two albums. On the contrary, Classical Music is more popular among 45+ with about 20% of them purchasing the albums. Approximately 15% of 25-34 acquired classical music albums. And this genre was least purchased by 16-24 and 35-44 groups with values of about 1% and 3% respectively. Although the age demographics were different from that of the other two albums, men and women showed similar pattern with about 9% male and around 6% female purchasing albums in classical genre.

Despite knowing about the adverse effects of climate change, human activities have been highly responsible for global warming for decades. This essay will discuss the main causes of temperature rising including the excessive use of fossil fuels and plastic pollution. This essay will further suggest solutions to these problems including decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels and reducing the dumping of waste in the sea. Most people are guzzling fossil fuels, churning out greenhouse gases and messing with our planet's climate like there's no tomorrow. For instance, driving to the grocery store burns a certain amount of fuel, resulting in an increase in carbon footprint. The combustion of fossil fuels emits CO2, which in turn traps heat in the atmosphere, hence making it the primary contributor to global warming. Moreover, dumping plastic in oceans deprive phytoplanktons of sunlight. As a result, the planktons are not able to carry out photosynthesis, a process that removes CO2 and releases oxygen, which leads to disruption of the world's carbon cycle and ultimately makes the planet warmer. Thus human activities that contribute to an escalation in CO2 emissions are the prime causes of a rise in global temperature. Substituting fossil fuels with other renewable energy sources and reducing plastic usage are both critical to mitigating this phenomenon. For example, people should install solar lights in their homes instead of Led bulbs. We should also curb the buying of processed or canned foods and should always take our own paper bags while going grocery shopping to prevent the use of plastic bags. Furthermore, using public transportations rather than private vehicles for commuting would significantly alleviate our carbon footprint. Therefore, if humans shift to renewable and recyclable materials then it would drastically minimise the temperature rising issues. To conclude, people's actions that change the environment have a negative impact on the global climate. However, we can substantially lessen it by curbing fossil fuels and plastic usage.

The table compares the performance of social and economic aspects for Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire in 1995. In general, Japan and Canada outperformed in four social and economic indicators their counterparts, Peru and Zaire. To be precise, regarding the economic indicators, people in Japan earned the highest annual income among the four countries, with US$ 15,760, and Canadian people earned the second most annual income with US$11,100. People in Peru and Zaire earned a lower annual income, almost 98 times less than people in Canada and Japan. With regard to the social indicators, people in Canada and Japan showed a longer life expectancy at birth, both of which had a life expectancy of more than 75 years old, whereas the life expectancy in Peru and Zaire was much lower, with only around 50 years old. The adult literacy rate in Canada and Japan saw the same percentage, both at 99%. While 68% of adults in Peru had literacy, the adult literacy rate in Zaire was only 34%, two times less than Peru and almost three times lower than Canada and Japan. With respect to the daily calorie supply, Canada had the highest calorie supply per person, with a number of 3326, while Japan, Peru, and Zaire received a lower calorie supply with aroud 2000 only.

While some people argue that equal numbers of male and female students should be accepted in every major, I personally disagree with this statement. There are a number of arguments that can support my stance. To begin with, it is impossible to enroll equal genders of students in every subject. It is true that some faculties are underrepresented by a particular gender. For example, STEM subjects usually have more male students than females, but the opposite is true in educational-related subjects, which phenomenon seems to violate the principle that we fight endeavor today, gender equality. Therefore, people want to accept equal numbers of students to achieve a gender balance in every subject. However, the reality is that different genders prefer to study different subjects themselves, but not because of the unequal opportunity. According to one of the research, women show a higher interest in subjects like education, psychology and arts rather than science-related subjects. As a result, it is apparent that admitting equivalent proportions of male and female students can hardly be achieved. In addition, it will deprive students of chances to make their own choices if universities enroll both genders equally in every subject mandatorily. It should be noted that it is students' right to select the subjects freely in college. If students cannot register for the subjects they want to study just because there are not enough quotas left for particular gender of students, or they are forced to study some subjects they are not interested in just because they need to fulfill the gender requirement in the class, it will hinder students' learning in the long-run. To conclude, universities should not enroll equal gender students in every subject as it is impossible to achieve and may deprive students the freedom to choose the major they want to study.

The table illustrates social and economic measures for Canada, Japan, Peru, and Zaire during 1994. It can be clearly seen that Zaire's points were the lowest in all indicators. According to the data, Canada's annual earnings per person was 11,100 $ in 1994. However, the peak of this characteristic was in Japan at approximately 16,000. Alternatively, people from Peru and Zaire had the lowest income this year, 160$ and 130$ per person. Another economic measure was life expectancy at birth. The statistic shows the overall expected lifespan in Canada was 76 in 1994, while in Japan, the number was 78. Comparing the average limits of life expectancy at birth in Peru and Zaire were 51 and 41, respectively. The first social indicator compares the daily calorie supply per person. It can be seen that on average a person from Canada had more than 3000 calories per day in 1994, while in Japan this factor amounted to 2864. Peru and Zaire had the lowest points in this category. Their percentages were also the lowest in the category of adults who were able to read and write, compared to Canada and Japan, which points were identical (99 and 99).

Some people believe that educational facilities must accept the same numbers of men as women in every subject. There are both pros and cons in this argument, which will be discussed in this essay. A tremendous number of people think that equality is crucial for education. Nowadays, more and more activists fight for women's rights. They want that every female can study everything that she prefers, notwithstanding this is socially acceptable or not. Moreover, many feminists suggest that patriarchal societies do not allow women to study equality with men. For example, when a little boy says to his younger sister that she is not intelligent enough for the men's play, a little girl grows up and thinks that she cannot study men's subjects and work men's jobs. Therefore, the main reason to accept equal numbers of both sexes is to crush many stereotypes about women's intellectual abilities and allow them to choose which subject they really want to study. On the other hand, some people can complain that this is discrimination against men. For instance, if every university will accept only 50% of men with the highest grades in every subject, men with average grades but higher than women's will not be accepted. Furthermore, this idea does not guarantee that all wise women will study in universities. Females also can do not want to learn every existing subject. In conclusion, the main point of equality in education is about choice, not coercion. From my point of view, that would be great if male and female students could study the same subjects; if more boys prefer to be teachers, while more girls like to be scientists. However, this is impossible when a lot of stereotypes exist, and the coercion of universities to accept balanced numbers of students based on their genders does not help solve the global issue with equality.

The table illustrates social and economic indicators in 1994 for four nations (Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire). Those statistics are taken from the United Nations records. Overall, Japan had the highest annual incomes per person and life expectancy at birth, while Canadian daily calory intake were the highest. Moreover, Canada and Japan had the highest literacy rate. Loooking at the economic indicator, Japan annual income per capita stood at 15,760$, which was the highest income among the four nations, and was followed closely by Canada at 11,100$. By comparison, Zaire was the poorest country with an annual salary per capita at 130$. Peruvians were earning 160$ annually. Turning to social indicators, Japaneses had the highest life expectancy at birth, being 78 years old, and Canadians had the second highest at 76 years old. People from Zaire and Peru had a limited life expectancy at 47 and 51 years old, respectively. In addition, Canadians are the citizens who ate the greatest amount of daily calories(3326), while people from Zaire ates the least (1749). Finally, Japan and Canada had the highest rate of literacy both at 99%. In contrast, Zaire rate of literacy accounted for only 34%.

Regarding education, gender equity is crucial. Some people argue that universities should enrol an equal number of men and women in every field. Personally, I totally agree with that statement because I believe it is fairer and it is better for the society. The main reason male and female students should be equal in number is that it would be more equitable. In fact, numerous studies have stated that their brains are not working the same way. In other words, their cognitive capacities are different, so they should not compete with each other for university admissions. It does not mean that a gender is more intelligent than the other. For example, men are generally known to have a better spacial orientation, while women's ability to memorize is superior. Similarly, their physical capacities are not the same either, and that is why men and women do not compete against each other in sports competitions. Another reason to separate sexes regarding university admissions is because it ensure a better distribution of gender among the labor market. Broadly speaking, it is well known that males work, in their life, more hours that females. This is principally due to the fact that women take more maternity leave than men. Unfortunately, it can consequently create a problem in the society.For example, nowadays, women represent the majority of students in medicine as they have better grades in high school. As a result, there is not enough working staff in hospitals when they quit to take care of their families. The same situation applies to every field with a majority of women such as jobs in health services. In conclusion, I reiterate that there should be an equal number of male and female students enrolled in universities because it would be more equitable and ensure a better repartition of genders among different fields of employment.

The table illustrates the social and economic indicators of Canada, Japan, Peru, Zaire in 1994, based on United Nations statistics. Overall, the indicator includes four aspects, annual income, life expectancy at birth, daily calories supply per person, and the adult literacy rate expresses in %. Among these countries, as can be seen, the countries which scored the most in each section, were Canada. Peru was placed in third place, followed by Zaire. The highest annual income per person was verified in Japan with 15,760$ whereas, Canada obtained 15,760$. However, it is notably the marked difference in this index compared to Peru and Zaire,160$,130£, respectively. Regarding the daily calorie intake per individual, were 3326 kcal in Canada, 2864 in Japan and, Peru with 1927. The least assumptions had shown with 1749 in Zaire. Furthermore, life expectancy at birth had expected to be higher in Japan with 78. Similarly, Canada was closer, with only 2 fewer points following by 51 in Peru and, 47 in Zaire. The percentage of adult literacy, as can be noticed, is expected to be longer in Canada and Japan with the same score of 99%. In contrast, it dropped to 68% in Peru and, the lowest level of adult literacy reached only 34% in Zaire. Lastly, it is interesting how, by seeing the adult literacy rate, the other indexes go well. Likewise, the highest income can be beneficial to get a good score on the other indicators.

Nowadays, universities are accepting all the students, as many men as women in every subject matter. I believe that being open to all students is fair. The university must allow everyone to study what is interesting for each individual, regardless of gender. However, I think that the numbers of equality in each course are statistically speaking unrealistic. Even though, in general, I completely agree that there must be equality and human rights. Nowadays, many are the organizations created, to support equality, sex discrimination, with the aim of helping people to get their rights. However, despite enormous positive changes compared to the past, still, some people reckon that some jobs are for women and others for men. What does it even mean? Should a woman only do house chores and raise kids? As can be seen, based on women's experience, a woman can be a businesswoman and a great mother at the same time. There is an old saying, 'Give me an educated mother and I will give you an educated nation'. Therefore, I disagree with some people's beliefs. Men and women can be great in different jobs and positions. However, having the same number of students in each course is impractical for universities. Realistically speaking, there are some courses which attract more one gender than the other. In terms of numbers, if we think that, for instance, in the nursery degree there is 50 % of females and, then the other half will be waiting to be filled form males, it would be harsh for the university to close the course with the same parity of future students. In a nutshell, universities should not accept only one gender for a particular course or most of that gender with a fixed number. As the applications arrive at the university, they should select people based on their skills, knowledge, and merits. No matter if the course will be 80% females and 20% male or vice versa.

The chart shown presents information about the enquiries numbers that the Tourist Information Office received from January to June in 2011. Those enquaries are basically devided into three categories in person, by letter or email, and by telephone. According to the graph, the in person enquiries has increased dramatically over the six-months period. It started with 400 eunquiries during Januray and it kept increasing until it reached 1900 numbers of enquireis on June, which is almost five times the initial number. While the in person enuiries kept increasing, the ones that were recieved by emial or letter were slowly decreasing over the same period. It started with almost 800 enquiries , which is double the number of the in person enquiries. However, it kept decreasing until it reached 400 in May and kept the same number for June. Finally, there are the enquiries received by phone, which had a general trend of increasing. Nontheless, it had one dip during those six months that took place in February, where the numbers went from 900 to 800. Afterward, the numbers kept increasing to 1000 and was kept the same during March and April. Then it increased again until it reached to 1600 by the end of the six-month period.

Pollution free environment is important for our life's health and even enjoyement. Everyone whether an individual or large entitiy has an impact on the environment; regardless whether it was good or bad. Hence, I believe it is the responsibility of individulas as well as governments and large companies. Individuals can do a lot to improve the environemt around them starting with taking some actions to make a difference. For example, every memeber in the sociaty can support recycling efforts by sorting their garbages into different categoreis, instead of wasting the efforts of recycling companies to do so. Another exmaple would be to stop using plastic products and replace them with more environemt friendly products like pepar products. Moreover, teaching and spreading awarness about the importance of keeping our environemt clean are another way to make a difference. For instance, we can use social media to spread awarness and start campaigns about enviorment and pollution. Furthermore, we can teach some classes in schools and universities about this subject. As a result, this will help the upcoming generations to understand the problem and have them continue the efforts of improvement. While individuals efforts are essential, they must be supported by governments and large companies in order to complete the circle. A main example here would be establishing regulations and laws that would minimze the damage to the environment and maintain pollution at low levels, which is the role of the governments around the world. As for large companies, they can support by adopting the best practicies and take the proper actions to reduce pollution and improve the environment. As an example, they can start using clean and renewable energies to power their facilities and plants. In addition, those companies can develop technologies that contributes toward keeping the environment safe, and prompet the use of clean energy and vehicales. To sum up, the responsibility to improve the environemt must be divided between all three parties individuals, governments, and large companies. Each has his role to enhnace the environemnt and reduce the pollution. They complete each other and they should work together toward a better future for our world.

The diagram given illustrates the number of enquiries received by Tourist Information Office from January to June, a period of six months. Overall enquiries received in persons have shown an increasing pattern in all phases, while the data received by letter or email have shown a declining trend and information received by telephone shows a fluctuating trend. In the month of January, the higheset value in which method in which enquiries were received by telephone with a value of nearly 900 and the lowest amount is 450 and that is in person. In sharp contrast to this, information received by in person and by letter shows the values of 1900 and 1600 respectively, while the information received by either letters or emails habe shown a continuous declining trend from January to May from 750 to 350 approximately and it has remained constant from May to June at the amount of 300.

Environment is the surrounding in which the lives of plants, animals and human beings survive and operates. Imperoving the environment is the duty of each and every living being living in the society, only governments and large companies together cannot make any difference. if all the parties get united as one anything can be done to improve the environment. The writer disagrees with the statement than agrees. Environmental pollution, enviornmental degredations have shown a rapid increase in the past few years. The main reason to this disaster is that people have become more selfish and keep on passing the ball to other people saying that it is their responsibilty and not ours. Based on a recent research conducted by a group of Researchers in The United States of America, they have concluded that the most damages to the surrounding is caused by the activites done by humans. in writers opinion, there are few steps that can be taken to improve the environment. The main step is, supporting 3-R system, that is reduce, reuse and recycle. If we could promote this system, environment can be uplifted, because there will be less amount of wastage. Secondly, volunteer cleaning programms in the society can be brought up together with education systems to the community about how to keep your environment clean. These are the some of the main things that can be done to uplift the environment. In conclusion, the habitat and the surroundings can be improved with the invovement of all the three parties, individuals, governments and large companies, if they work sensibly.

The line graph illustrate the way the Tourist Information Office had recieved their enquiries over a six month period in one city. It is clear that the number of enquiries recieved by telephone and in person had a significant increase, while the one recieved by letter or an email had a noticable decrease. Starting from January the in person enquiries was the lowest in number compared to other ways, although the office recieved only 400 enquires in person at January, there was a dramatical increase of in person enquires, reaching 1900 in June. Moreover, enquires recieved by telephone had a significant raise as well. It started at 900 in January and rose up to 1600 in June. On the other hand, inquires recieved by letter or email had a noticable decrease over the six months, it started at 750 in January, and ended up with almost 300 im may then stood with the same figure in June.

Some people argue that we as individuals cannot do anything to help our environment, while companies and government could. Although government and large companies have a huge impact on the environment, I totally disagree with the previous argument and I believe that each individual can help improving the environment. Our environment is our resposibility, it is not only subjected to government or large companies. In fact, I believe that each individual has his or her own duty toward the environment. If any individual throw any kind of waste on the streat, this will have a huge impact on the environment. if someone throw a plastic bottel for example, it might take thousands of years for the plastic to resolve. Instead people should have the knowledge about where they should throw their waste and always look for a recycle baskets. People should be aware about how harmful it is to the environment if they throw their waste elsewhere. Other possible way for individuals to help improving the environment is by using recycable materials, for example paper bags instead of plastic bags. This attitude will encourage recycling. Another example of emproving environment by individuals is driving electrical mobiles ratherthan old cars and trucks. This way the toxic emissions will be reduced and that will help our atmosphere and prevent global warming. In conclusion, the improvement of our environment is in our hands, each individual has the resposibility of this planet and should act according to this. we cannot just blame the government or the companies. specially if we are not attempting to do our easy part.

The table below shows the total number of employees,including male and female employees, and factories in England and Wales throught out the 60 year period from 1851 to 1901. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the total numbers of people employed had decreased over the period, whereas the number of factories had increased and only went down in the last 20 years. The number of male employees had a significant drop in the first decade,losing more than half the number of employees in 1851 and gradually decline overtime.Additionally,Female employees had a major in incline in the second decade which is exactly 100 thousands employees and countinued to decrease like male employees.As a result, the total number of employees declined noticeably in the first 20 years and steadliy went down for the next 40 years.In contrary,the number of factories increased considerably,reaching 721 factories in 1881 then slowly went downward afterwards.

It is no doubt that cities are amongst the most convienient places for accommodation but with it, comes many sophisticated issuses, threatening the residents quality of life.In my opinion,in order to solve this problem,it is essential for governments balance the country's population distribution by encouring people to move to rural areas. What are the difficulties while living in large cities then?Firstly, it is the lack of jobs and occupations due to the fierce competitiveness between thousands of applicants.Moreover,because of high number of employees,regularly will companies raise their standards making it painfully challenging to get a job .For instance,to be hired as an accountant,not only do you need flawless techinque skills but also flexibility and adaptiveness to satisfy the company's demand and surpass other applicants.Secondly,the increasing population density can be a potential security endangerment as the rate of criminals and lawbreakers is significantly higher than places with fewer residents.Furthermore,tracking down criminals will more challenging because of the widespread radius of populated areas.For example,chasing down a theif in a countryside would be far more easier than a city because there are less space to hide and shelter for the theifs. Hence, the government should encourage people to move to outlying areas.At first glance,it fixes the issue of jobs and occupation as civilians are now fairly distributed to other regions, creating a less stressing and competitive working environment.As a matter of fact,the rate of poverty and famine will be reduced as the income for most famlies become higher thanks to more job opportunities.In addition,by having scatterd citizen equally,we can ensure the safety of our people by managing the crime rate of each region.In fact,this will prevent crime concentration in one area but scatter them in many places,making it more convenient to protect civilians. In conclusion,living in large cities can have multiple drawbacks,especially job opportunity and security therefore motivating citizen relocate to urban areas should be considered as soon as possible for the reasons above.

The tabel demonstartes the numbers of employees and factories in England and Wales from 1851 to 1901. From the earliest date 1851, it has the highest man workers in total 477,100 workers working in 225 factories. Where starting in 1881, the man workers has cut down to only 126,132, and the factories opened to the highest point, there were 721 factories in that year. By the bottom data in 1901, it only had 61,000 workers working in factories but a slightly drop down on factories, there were only 600 left. The cause of the cut down on man labours and growth on factories, shows the impact of second Industrial Revolution began in 1870s. The innovative development of mechanism has a great impact on Industrial factories, that it leads to the cut down of man power. Also, the progression of Industrial Revolution meaning a great deal of more diverse mechanism, so there's a growth on factories.

The big cities are often crowered with peoples and buildings, it is hard to sit back and have an easy lifestyle. From my personal experenice, where I am living in a fast pace city, people becomes more and more often to have emotional problems or even mental disease, because living in big cities are moving too fast with very high work load, expensive living cost, overpopulation, bad city planning(too much building with not enough green enviorment) etc. All that makes the cities people are living under stress and depress, not to mention, everyday there are more and more new comers moving into town and try to get a job in the cities. That makes the surviving games in the cities becoming harder to settle or I wouldn't imageine to win. Yes, the government should encourage people to move to regional towns. From where I based, our govern are already encouraging people to move out the cities for years, they clearly knew the problem are getting on the surface. They have offered special plans and supports for cities peoples who willingly to move out and go to the undeveloped cities. But still, not more locals are buying the govern's plans, because moving out to undeveloped cities meaning staying away with friends and familes and cultivate virgin land takes a lot of hard work too. For the current suitation, I cannot comment if the straties are successful or not, because my cities's problems are still unsolved and I don't see it will be solved in a short time.

The table campares the number of male and female employees from the year 1851 to 1901, also comparing the number of factories that developed during the same timeline, in England amd Wales. It is very clear from the table that while the number of factories increased more than double from 1851 to 1901, the number of total employees decreased drastically during that period. The number of male employees in 1851 was 287,100, which was almost 100,000 higher than the female employees. 10 years later, the amount of male employees witnessed a sharp decline. However, the same for the female employees did not show much difference. The numbers showed a downward trend for both male and female workers till 1901 where it was 31000 and 30000 respectively. The number of total employees was 477,100 during 1851 while the number of factories was a mere 225. The manpower decreased to a point that it reached 61,000 by 1901 while the number of factories doubled to 600 by the same year.

Living in both big cities and regional towns have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although, regional towns are small and provide a simple lifestyle, I still think that large cities offer a better lifestyle and much better facilities. It is true that regional towns have a simpler lifestyle and are not completely industrialized, which leads to a better environment and healthier people. Some people say that large cities have a few problems like traffic and high population. I, however, believe that the advantages of living in a big city, completely outweigh the disadvantages. Firstly, Due the modernisation and globalisation of industries, various multinational companies look for employees and are usually situated in urban areas. People move from rural areas to urban towns to look for employment with higher salaries as well as international exposure. Secondly, cities have a vast network of transportation available which is more frequent and comfortable for the commuters. Many people from small towns transit through big cities for inter-state or international travels. Lastly, large towns provide better accommodation for people with better living facilities. They have huge buildings with many apartments which are very well structured. These buildings also have facilites like gym, pools, grocery shops e.t.c. so that residents don't have to travel far. Which is why, when people move from small towns, it is easier for them to rent a room according to their budget and requirements. In conclusion, While I strongly believe that one should visit regional towns from time to time to freshen up their mind and body, I completely disagree with the fact that people should be encouraged by the government to permanently move to these areas .

This presented chart depicts how many workers and factories are there in England and Wales for 50 years, starting from 1851. In brief, the number of male and female workers decreased during this period of time, whereas the number of factories increased. Turning to the details, the number of male worker and female worker showed similar trend. The number of male employees started at 287100, which is almost 2 times higher than the number of female, in 1851 and then, it gradually decreased. Finally, it ended at 31000 in 1901. Second, 190000 female employees recorded in 1851 however, it also constantly decreased. This number finished at 30000 in 1901. In contrary to this, while there were only 225 factories in 1851 in England and Wales, in 1901, 600 factories were recorded. This number generally inclined however, after 1891, it slightly declined almost 40 every decades. Interestingly, In 1881 this number reached at 721, which is the highest record during the period of time.

Nowadays, people who live in urban city have many problems. This essay will explore the example of issues they face and whether goverment should recommend them move to rural area. I believe there are two main types of issues people live in urban city face, and I agree with the opinion that goverment should encourage people to leave crowded area. Firstly, people live in large city struggle with noisy sound. Currently, big city, especially capital, have a lot of people and transportation system. These sometimes sounds noisy. It disturb people forcusing on something, sleeping in better condition. I remenber that these noisy sound sometimes prevented me from studying in my house when I was high school student. This experience clearly express how much noisy sound disturb people's comfortable life. Another main issue that big city resident face is crowded train. Since there are many people who commute, people have to ride on crowded train, which is uncomfortable for users. Moreover, crowed train is more risky for users facing incidents compare to ordinary one. This is also serious hardship for population living in large city. To solve these matters, goverment should recommend people to live in regional areas. It would not only makes people release from issues that I showed above, and also it may get rid of risks that incident occur. In fact, a statistics show that people who live in rural area feel happy compared to people who live in large city. In conclusion, population who live in city face many issues like noisy sound and crowded train. And if authorities encouraged people to move to rural regions, people would feel spend more comfortable life, as they release from some uncomfortable that they feel in large city.

This presented chart depicts how many workers and factories are there in England and Wales for 50 years, starting from 1851. In brief, the number of male and female workers decreased during this period of time, whereas the number of factories increased. Turning to the details, the number of male worker and female worker showed similar trend. The number of male employees started at 287100, which is almost 2 times higher than the number of female, in 1851 and then, it gradually decreased. Finally, it ended at 31000 in 1901. Second, 190000 female employees recorded in 1851 however, it also constantly decreased. This number finished at 30000 in 1901. In contrary to this, while there were only 225 factories in 1851 in England and Wales, in 1901, 600 factories were recorded. This number generally inclined however, after 1891, it slightly declined almost 40 every decades. Interestingly, In 1881 this number reached at 721, which is the highest record during the period of time.

Nowadays, people who live in urban city have many problems. This essay will explore the example of issues they face and whether goverment should recommend them move to rural area. I believe there are two main types of issues people live in urban city face, and I agree with the opinion that goverment should encourage people to leave crowded area. Firstly, people live in large city struggle with noisy sound. Currently, big city, especially capital, have a lot of people and transportation system. These sometimes sounds noisy. It disturb people forcusing on something, sleeping in better condition. I remenber that these noisy sound sometimes prevented me from studying in my house when I was high school student. This experience clearly express how much noisy sound disturb people's comfortable life. Another main issue that big city resident face is crowded train. Since there are many people who commute, people have to ride on crowded train, which is uncomfortable for users. Moreover, crowed train is more risky for users facing incidents compare to ordinary one. This is also serious hardship for population living in large city. To solve these matters, goverment should recommend people to live in regional areas. It would not only makes people release from issues that I showed above, and also it may get rid of risks that incident occur. In fact, a statistics show that people who live in rural area feel happy compared to people who live in large city. In conclusion, population who live in city face many issues like noisy sound and crowded train. And if authorities encouraged people to move to rural regions, people would feel spend more comfortable life, as they release from some uncomfortable that they feel in large city.

The given table shows the information about the number of employees and factories in England and Wales from 1851 to 1901. There are lot of information clearly mentioned in this image. Bar X represents the number of employees and factories where as Bar Y indicates the duration(years). Number of employees are gradually reducing from 1851 to 1901 in both genders and reached the lower level at 1901.Overall employee numbers also reduced gradually as like the easrlier. In contrast the number of factories are increased drastically and reached the maximum at 1901 which is 600 factories. Based on the picture it is clearly conveyed that the numper of employees are significantly reducing from 1851 and on the other hand the number of factories are tremendously increased when comparing to the year 1851. Bases on the given information it clearly understands that the increased number of factories may enhance the delopment of the society economically and also which helps to improve the quality of life of the local people.

It is not surprise to see that major cities are struggling with various issues which may associate with goverment and public issues as well.These issues are mild in some cities where as severe and vulnerable in few cities. Some of the common problems are increased crime rate,reduced safety,air pollution,noise pollution,flood,mechanical life and reduced greenery. The main cause for the above issues are increased population,uncontrolled carbon emission,poorly planned road and other public facilities such as underground drainage,contaminated water,roads and electricity. In general if the government take steps to control the above mentioned issues by implenting good law and orders which can improve public safety and happiness.Assist the sanitary boards with proper funding which may help to reduce water stagnant during rainy season.Funding for new research and developments may enhance to clear air and water pollution which can bring good health to the local residents. In contrast government may consider to develop the nearest towns with basic facilities such as modern housing, educational advancements,good roads,water and sanitary facilities. These facilities enhance the people to move to smaller town which may enhance to manage the key issues which are currently facing in the major cities. For instance Delhi,Capital of India seriously struggling with severe air pollution and lack of security which is heavily populated.Researches says that these problems can be reduced if the population rate is reduced. Meantime some group of people suggests that if the government may adopt new technology or structure which are following by any successful cities in the world.I personally feels that this also could be a better solution if it can be adopted by the government. By arguing the possitive and negative impacts it is difficult to conclude which option may works better to sove the issues.

The bar chart gives information about the percentage of people that used to go to the cinema in one European city during a week. People prefer going to cinemas during the weekend. While in 2005 is registered the highest number of people who have gone to cinemas, 2007 is, generally, the year in which cinemas received a lower number of spectators. Moving towards the weekend (from Monday to Friday) the number of people going to the cinema increas. By considering all the three years, there is an increasement of movie-spectators that culminates on Saturday. Then, Saturday is the day in which the highest number of spectators has been obtained with a percentage between 40% and 45%. By contrast, the number of people going to cinemas goes down starting from Sunday. The days in which cinemas are with very few people are Monday (in total less than 15%) and Wednesday (on this day the spectators have exceed 15% only in 2003). 2005 is the year in which cinemas are frequentated the most. In particular, on Saturday 2005, with 45%, has been obtained the higest presence on cinemas. Instead, Wednesday 2007, with numbers lower than 10%, is the day in which there were fewer spectators. Friday is a particular day because over the three years (2003, 2005 and 2007), the same amount of people, around 30%, went to watch a movie.

The problem of understainding whether there is an age that could be consider perfect to have a child is very debated. It is nowadays very common to have children over 40 years old. After explaining the reasons besides this tendency (a different life-style and conception of education and the role that women play in our society), I will argue in favour of this tendency by explaining that the disadvantages can be outweighed. The reasons why today people have children in their later age are due to two factors. Firstly, there is a new conception of education and people when finish their studies sometimes have to wait years before finding a good paid position. On the other hand, new technologies and new medical treatments have made people around 60 looking in the same way as my grandmother was in her 40. The central cause of this tendency is surely linked with the role that women play in our society. They study and work and they have to find a good job position in the same way as their male counterparts have to do. This involve that a woman cannot take the time that she need to grow up a child when she is 25 (at that age she is usually in Academia yet). Rather, she will think about the possibility of having a child after started her career. Then, there are positive effects produced by this new tendency. Children are loved and considered by their parents as miracles. On the other hand, they can grow up in a family in which his parents have good jobs. Neither the mother or the father have to sacrifice a part of their life because they had a child too young. My mum got me when she was over 40. Twenty-three years ago this was consider an exception. Although I confronted my-self with the possible disadvantages that could be produced by having child late, I cannot present them as real issues. People believe that a not-young parent cannot understand your needs and your thoughts. However, this is false. Indeed, If a person is open-minded, she will always is, whatever the age. The only possible disadvantage concerns the fear of losing your parents soon. While people start to think about the possible death of their parents when they are around 30 years old, I started to think about that when I was 20. But it is just fear. Therefore, I believe that there are not concrete reasons to be against this tendency. If we start to conceive the idea of having a baby as an immense gift, we will reasonably have to understand that we have to be prepared to grow up the child and to dedicate to him all the time he needs. Then, it is amazing if this is possible to have all of this when a woman is 25. But, if the family (father and mother together) wants to start their career first, they cannot be judged. There is not a perfect moment to have a child. Sometimes to wait involve do better. In conclusion, I believe that there are not disadvantages to be outweighted. The two possible disadvantages I presented are not worst than those people having children at their young age have to deal with.

The bar chart illustrates the proportion of population went to the movie theaters in an European country. It divided into three periods in a varied days. Overall, the percentage of people going to watch films at weekend outnumbered those going in weekdays by a significant margin. While over the different three years were relatively similar in all days, there was some variance, especially on Saturday in 2005 when the percentage of individuals sharply increased to almost 45 percent. On weekdays, apart from Friday all periods were exactly same percentage 30%, in 2003 the proportion of people attending cinema doubled from 10% on Monday to well over 20% by the end of Thursday. Meanwhile, in 2005, over the all days it is relatively stable nearly 14% except on Tuesday where slightly increased to approximately 18%. In 2007, the trajectory was inconsistent rising from about 13% on Monday to 18% on Thursday. With regards to weekend days, the records was highest on Saturday for instance in 2005 there was the most popular time for people to watch movies they were 45%, however, on Sunday the reading also high.

Recently, the parents were having a child becomes more a bit delyed than than before. The main reason why that happened is the high life expenses, whereas that eventually will affects the health status of both the mother and fetus, it is eventhough sometimes carried out some diseases. This essay will discuss why it is dangerous and give you some evidences. Increasing the costs of daily necessary items for example, these days if you go to the grocery shop and just buy the simply needs vegetables or fruits you will end up with a very significant amount of money payment. Consequently, with that the majority of population tend to become a finically stable before getting a kid. Unfortunately, giving birth to a baby in fourteen is critical and there is a lot of sequences following that. In order that It is required more attention and care for that topic we should develop a program to teach the parents with no exception because some of mothers seems they are unlikely to have awareness of the difficulties. Provided that there was a case I remember just passes to my mind of a pregnant women cames to the emergency room in a disaster situation then turn on that if she gives birth, there could be possibility of one of them will die (her or the baby), simply because she was very old in her fourteen. In summary, some people restricted to finical part and forgetting a more important one which is the safety of the women as well as the fetus.

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of people going to cinemas in one European country on different days of the week over a three-year period from 2003 to 2007. Overall, the amount of people deciding to spend time at the movie theatre from 2003 to 2007 fluctuated considerably during weekdays, with the vast majority of people opting to go to the cinemas on Saturdays. Interestingly, the percentage of people choosing to go to the cinemas on Fridays remained stable at 30% through the whole three years. In 2003, only one in ten people decided to go to the cinemas on Mondays, as opposed to the two fifths of people choosing to go on Saturdays and the just under a third of people opting for Sundays. In 2005, the trend experienced a downward trend during weekdays but eventually rose significantly to just under a half and just over a third during weekends, outracing the rate of 2003 and 2007. Lastly, in 2007 the rate continued to present considerable fluctuations, hitting a high point of approximately two fifths on Saturdays.

Over the past decades, it has been registered a considerable decrease in the percentage of people eager to create a family at a young age. There could be different reasons for this and I am going to state them clearly in the following paragraphs, which will also explain why I believe the advantages of this situation far outweigh the disadvantages. Apparently, the society we currently live in has undergone substantial changes over the years, sometimes without us even noticing it. The most evident of these variations has probably been the gradual rise in the number of old people as opposed to the dramatic fall in the number of births. In fact, owing to the decline of the economy of most nations and the subsequent reduction of work opportunities, more and more people are giving up on the idea of becoming parents in their 20s or 30s. Many people see this as a negative aspect for our society; however, I have to strongly disagree with their opinion. The drawbacks to which a lot of people point out when discussing about these kind of topics often has to do with the age gap between parents and their children. Admittedly, someone cannot decide to have a child in their 40s without considering the significant generation gap that would separate them from their kids and, as a result, the issues of miscommunication that could arise. However, the disadvantages become of secondary importance as soon as the much more remarkable benefits are examined. First of all, older parents also means more responsible and mature caretakers; consequently, due to their broader life experience, they would arguably make better advisors for their kids. Not to mention that older parents would not only have more stable and secure jobs, but they would also have more consistent savings to devote to their children's further education, which in turn could help the latter having a better and well-paid job in the future. To conclude, although it's impossible not to take into account the drawbacks of having a child at a more advanced age, the advantages still outrun the disadvantages. Thus, children would be the first to benefit from such a situation.

The columns below show the trend of people in Europe in choosing days to go to movie theaters between 2003 and 2007. It is clear that people in Europe tend to spend their time on going to movie theaters on the weekend. The highest number which is on Saturday is 45% and 42% in 2005 and 2007, respectively. The average proportion is more than 30% from Friday to Sunday in that period of time. In contrast, there are fewer people who decide to go to movie theaters in the other days of the week. The average proportion is less than 25%. In 2003, people tended to go to cinemas on Thursday with the highest ratio of 23%. However, these rates vary slightly between Monday and Friday in the period of 2005 and 2007.

It is true that today, people tend to give birth when they are older than their previous generation. This trend has several negative and positive effects on their daily life. On the one hand, there are several disadvantages for those who want to have children in their later age. First, moms could suffer from many serious health problems when they give birth late. Those who are older than 35 of age has the higher rate of death because their hormone levels are not suitable for giving birth which lead to medical accidents. Second, boys or girls whose their mother is older than 35 also tend to suffer from many problems. For example, it is easier to have pneumonia for children from those mothers because the preterm birth rate of this group of mothers is higher. On the other hand, I am on the side with those who believe that there are more benefits to having children when they are older. Firstly, people could prepare a better foundation for their children. Raising a boy or a girl is a job which needs both much effort, money and time. Therefore, many people decide to work hard and earn much money they can because it could build a more solid infrastructure for their children. Secondly, it is important for children to have both their parents during their process of growing up. The rate of crime in terms of teenagers, who grow up without mother or father, is higher than those who live with parents. Thus, the decisions such as having marriage or giving birth are crucial when the younger tend to decide quickly. In conclusion, it is still controversy for this trend because of the positive and negative effects mentioned above.

The bar chart illustrates the rate of people who consumed the daily recommended quantity of fruit and vegetables in United Kigdom. The chart shows information for 3 different years, 2002, 2006, and 2010, and separates the UK`s population into 3 major groups: Men, Women and Children. Overall, it is possible to notice that the percentage of women who consumed fruit and vegetables were higher than the percentage of any other group for the three years. Moreover, 2006 was the year that most fruit and vegetables was consumed for all three groups. In 2002, children ingested only 11% of the recommended quantity, however, in 2006, this number was increased by 7%, the highest consumption of fruit and vegetables for children in the time span. In 2010, there was a decrease in the their fruit and vegetables consumption when compared to 2006. Despite that, the number for 2010 (16%) was still bigger than the number for the first year. Women ate more fruit and vegetables than men and children. In 2002, 25% of women ingested fruit and vegetables, while 32% consumed it in 2006. There was a decrease of 6% in their consumptiom in 2010. Men started 2002 with a consumption rate of 22%; in 2006, 4% more men decided to ingest fruit and vegetables, and in 2010, 24% of males consumed fruit and vegetables.

At present, it is possible to note that families come in different and diverse structures. Overall, these changes occur because of women are entering the work force, which changes the roles of a traditional family. I strongly believe that these changes are positive to society and to the economy. In the following paragraphs I will present my reasons to have such opinion. One major factor that affects family structures is women being allowed to work outside their homes. Within the last century, women joined the work force, modifying the traditional family setting that was compoused by men being the ones who provided for their families. Therefore, the roles changed as both mothers and fathers could financially provide for their children. Moreover, women do not need to rely on their husbands to raise children as they have jobs themselves, and they might even decide to raise a baby by their own, creating a new type of family strucutre that is comprised of only a mother and a child. Furthermore, couples can even decide not to have children at all, and only focus on their carreers, as women have the possibility of being a lot more than mothers. These changes are definitly positive of an economical and societal point of view. Women are now part of the work force, therefore, they contribute for the economy. Besides that, changes in family structures and roles make people more tolerant, as they see that there is no limitation for what a women can do. To summarize, there are indeed several changes occurring in families structures, and the roles people play in it. Women being part of the work force has changed male and female contribution to a family, which has a positive impact, socially and economically speaking.

The bar graph compares the proportion of UK citizens in terms of their consumption of daily recommended portions of fruits and vegetables in three different years which are 2002, 2006, and 2010. Overall, females consumed the highest percentage of their recommended healthy food, followed by males, and last are the children.additionally the year 2006 had witnessed the vastest consumption of vegetables and fruits among all given years. Women ate exactly 25% of the daily adviced dose of natural food in the year 2002, 32% in 2006, and 26% in 2010, however men took 22% of the recommended dose in the year 2002, 26% in 2006, and 24% in 2010. On the other hand younger individuals only consumed 11%, 18%, and 16% of the daily requirements of veggies and fruits in the years 2002, 2006, and 2010 respectively. It appears that residents of the UK had eaten the highest daily requirements of greens and fruits in the year 2006 as compared to the years 2006 and 2010.

In our modern days, families had witnessed a considerable change regarding their structure and the roles of individuals inside it. These changes are mainly the patriarchal structure that was dominating families in the past compared to a more balanced arrangement nowadays. In addition to that, there are more freedom and rights for women in recent years. And I believe its an advantageous development. Fathers used to be the only leaders of the families of past decades, however in recent days mothers had shared the leadership and started taking part in family decisions just like their partners. Also during recent decades women obtained greater deal of their civil rights which allowed them to take different roles from those that were common for females in the past decades. As an example, women can now own the family house, sign important documents, drive cars which were a breakthrough for women to be able to participate in family plannings and decisions. It appears to be an advantage to have women being able to be effective members of their families, that is because they can share responsibility, add their feminine qualities to the lives of their families as well as for them to be able to fulfill their own life by feeling the importance of their existence and their roles. As in a recent research that found families with women in them are happier, more content, and definitely healthier. In conclusion, the family system nowadays differs vastly from before, owing to the more roles that women are taking, and to the more rights and freedom they gained, and in my perspective it is a positive change.

The graph illustrates the percentage of fruit and vegetable eaten by UK people daily in the years 2002, 2006 and 2010. From 2002 to 2006 we assist to an increase in the amount of fruit and vegetable consumed by UK people. By contrast, their consumption of country products went down in 2010. The amount of fruit and vegetable consumed by women is in general higher than that consumed by men and children. 2006 is the year in which the highest consumption of fruit and vegetable in the UK is registered. By contrast, 2022 was the year in which the least quantity of this type of product was eaten. However, after this slightly develop in the consumption of fruit and vegetable, another small decline arrived in 2010. Generally, women are the most active consumers of fruit and vegetable. In 2006 more than 30% of them use to eat them daily. By contrast, children are the consumers who eat the least quantity of country food. Indeed in 2002, almost 10% of them used to eat vegetables daily.

As the '70s of the last century started, the world lived a social revolution that led to a change in the family structure and in family roles' conception. I believe these changes are positive and take people to be more inclusive towards all forms of love: heterosexual and homosexual. The social revolution permitted also women to impose their role in the workplace as leaders and not just in the house as mothers. In the last decades a revolution concerning the concept of family led to conceive the couple and not just the married heterosexual couple with at least a child as complete and valued families. This social step is crucial since before that people who loved a person of the same sex as well as women who decided to have no child were treated by society as the maker of the family collapse. In Sicily, for instance, where there is still a lot of work to be done in this respect, it was almost crazy to define a group of people composed of a woman and a man with a son born outside marriage to fall under the concept of family. Therefore, I believe that this social change is taking people to believe step by step that all forms of love must be respected and most crucially they are starting to understand the concept of family as the non-physical place in which love lives. The role of women in the workplace and in the house radically changed in the same years. The revolution concerned both the conception of women as free independent workers who obtain leadership positions as well as the conception of women as wifes and mothers. Indeed, women are no anymore required to live their life trying to make the house perfectly clean, satisfy the husband's desires and grow up the children. At the same time, husbands discover again their role as fathers and not just as money-maker of the house. Thus thanks to social change women can dedicate time to themself to their passions and give importance not just to their role as mothers but also to their role in the workplace as leaders. In conclusion, I believe the social change that characterised the last decades produced positive changes that permitted us to obtain a new understanding of the conception of family and love and to evaluate the role of women in the house and outside as free and independent workers.

The bar chart shed light on the proportions of UK citizens consuming daily recommended amount of fruit and vegetables in three years, namely, 2002, 2006 and 2010. British citizens surveyed in this regard were divided into three categories, including males, females and minors. As shown in this diagram, the percentages of children, men and women underwent fluctuations respectively in this period. Women had a larger percentage than men and children in all three years while children always had the smallest proportion. The percentage of women who consumed recomended quantity of fruit and vegetables reached 25% in 2002, which rose to 32% four years later and declined to 26% in 2010. Such a fluctuating trend also took place in the proportion of men that reached 22% in 2002 and peaked at 26% in 2006 but dropped to 16% in 2010. Similarly, British children who consumed proper amount of fruit and vegetables accounted for 11% of all UK children in 2002, and this percentage peaked at 18% in 2006 while decreasing to 16% in 2010. Overall, the year of 2006 witnessed the largest percentage of UK nationals consuming appropriate amount of fruit and vegetables, which stood in marked contrast with 2002 when the UK citizens in each category doing so made up the smallest proportion.

Recently, there have been significant changes in the family structure and family roles. This essay will illuminate some of these changes and analyse whether such changes are beneficial or detrimental. One of the most prominent changes in this regard refers to the tendency of couples having fewer children or even no children, which may be attributed to adults' increasing workload and ensuing inability to look after children properly. Given their hectic schedules and rational concerns about their limited time and patience in taking care of adolescents, many couples would rather have fewer children. Another change is the growing trend of females joining the workforce, as necessitated by increasing living expenses, such as utility bills and property prices. To afford such costs and reach expected living standards, females have to give up being family women and apply for jobs. The other factor driving women to take jobs is the popularity of feminism upholding that women should be equal to men in all aspects, including employment. As far as I am concerned, these changes derive from people's practical and merticulous considerations in the face of huge challenges, namely, the lack of time to take care of minors and soaring living costs. To tackles these obstacles, it is necessary for people to make such changes. Therefore, I vehemently support these changes. To sum up, the modern society is witnessing great changes in the family structure and family roles, as exemplified by the smaller family size and larger number of females taking jobs. Personally, I think these are positive changes.

The pie charts given provide data about the expediture and the population of the world, while also giving information about the consumption of resources. In short, the Asia has the largest population and USA and Europe consumes most of resources. From the first pie chart, nearly a quarter of the world expenditure is for food while only half of that is for housing. About 18% of people's money is spent on transport, which is three times as much as money spent on clothing. The largest proportion is spent for other things with 40% of the total world spending. America and Europe each only occupie 14% of the world population while Asia has the largest population with 57%. However, America and Europe are the two countries that consume most of the resources with 60% of consumption in total, and the other 40% is by other countries. African people only take a small fraction of the world population which is 10 %. In general, Europe and USA do not have the largest number of people but they consume the largest amount of resources.

It is argued by many people that history contains the lessons to help us understand human's life while others believe that we can hardly learn anything from the past. It is my opinion that history is a precious source of information that we inherent from the older generations and history is important for our future. This essay will discuss both views and give reasons to support my points. Some people think that the history is not important for us to grow and develop in our current life. I personally think that this is not true because our development in society today is the outcomes of learning from our mistakes in history. In addition, the history of our country or our region will help to enhance knowledge about our culture, beliefs or religions. These values are generational heritages and it is impossible for the new generation to obtain the cultural values without learning about history. It is widely agreed that history is a valuable source of knowledge that enables human development and prosperity. The records of events and experiences of the older generations will be helpful for us in building our society for future generations. For example, in order to build the current social welfare system in America, the government has to look at the failures of other countries in the history and considers which approaches will be appropriate for their people. In addition, learning about history can broaden our understandings about human philosophy, human interations and conflicts. These knowledge are significantly important for our development intellectually and spiritually. In summary, we can learn a lot from history and history is important for human development.

The pie graphs give us information in regard to how much resources are used in various countries. The data is categorized according to 3 specific kinds of sections, which are world spending, world population and consumption of resources. Overall, it is clear that resources usage is most popular in the USA and Europe, whereas in World population it stands out in Asia. To be more precise, the highest percentage of resources consumption in the US and EU is at 60 per cent, compared to the biggest proportion of world population is in Asia at 57 per cent. On the other hand, the smallest proportions of world population are in Africa and Other countries at 10 percent and 5 per cent respectively, while for consumption of resources is 40 percent in other nations. It is interesting to note from the charts that Food in World Spending is much more popular than housing and clothing. In fact, world spends on food at 24 percent. By contrast, housing and clothing are spent at 12 per cent and 6 per cent respectively.

It is true that these days people say there is little we can gain from previous history, whereas others think that history is a key source to understand our lives. Although there are some strong arguments against learning history, I agree with learning history to know life of human. There are two reasons why people think there is nothing to gain from history. Firstly, there is evidence to support the idea that learning history stresses people out. Based on a survey conducted by Standford University, 57 percent of people consider learning past life of humans a primary source of stress, while less than 6 percent of people said studying previous humans' life was not a stressor. Secondly, people may not have time to remember historical events because the constant stimulation and hustle and bustle of society is holding them back from their life. In turn, they are more likely to regard learning history as useless. Despite the negative drawbacks, I support that historical event is great information to comprehend human's life. The main benefit of a historical event is that it can have a positive impact on people, especially children, as they grow up. Since history has more connection and support to our lives, it allows children to become more insightful and knowledgeable and discover advanced perspectives. For example, I have been widening my perspective through historical events in my family or country because gaining history regarding my family and nation taught me the right attitude to understand today. However, if I did not know any history, I would not have had an opportunity to understand human life and self-development. So, learning history should be encouraged. In conclusion, while I recognize the possible disadvantages of learning history, I believe that the benefits of gaining past events far outweigh them in the long term.

The three pie graphs give information on the spending and resourses' consumption the by the countries of the world in relation with the population's distribution. Overall, different countries' spending are distributed in the world population. People of different countries spend for different necessities. However, there is a big discrepancy between the division concerning the world population and the consuption of resources. Different countries used to spend for different material possessions. While Asian population is the major (the 57% of the world populatio), their spending concerns the trasport for the 18%. By contrast, the coutries that respesent only the 5% of the world population spend the 40% to buy not determined material possessios. The category of possessions that has less spending is that of clothing with the 6% and the American are the people who spend the most to buy clothes. On the other hand, there is a big discrepancy between the consumption of resources and the countries that cosume the most. Indeed, representing less than the 28% of the world population, USA as well as Europe consume more than a half of the global resources, the 60%.

There are two contrasting views concerning the role of out past for our life today. According to the former there is nothing we can learn for our history. Instead, the latter sustains that the past a vital source for the understaing of our present life. I believe that in virtue of the action made in the history we must learn what is better and what is dangerous for human's life. History is then our method to evaluate whether the choices we make at the present time are right or wrong. I believe that history can teach us more than we can imagine. The past teached us how much pain humans being tolerate because of the wars. To understand the reasons and the causes of the conflicts between the countries it is the best way to proceed through a more pacific and civil relationship among the States. To make the idea clearer I want to propose the following analogy as example: as the awarness of our past actions (in other words, the actions we have done when we were children) taught that the fire burns and that we should pay attention when we get closer to it, we then can understand how much pain a war can take with it by reflecting on the pains that aflicted our ancestors because of the Second World War. On the other hand, there are people supporting the thesis according to which history cannot teach anything to us. They start from the idea that our life today is completely different, techonological and then very far from what our ancestors lived. The world in which we live seems to them as another world with respect to that in which their grandparents lived. Hence, history results to be as a novel that cannot be used to make easier the human's progress. Thus the errors made by our grandfathers cannot be analysed with the contemporary eyes, they maybe could not be understood totally. Then the past's mistakes are not an alarm to remind us what we did and what we should try to escape from. Rather, they are nothing, just memories. According to this way of thinking, the world seems to be divided in temporal blocks each of which has no links with the others. History is reduced to an intricate novel. In conclusion, I believe that history should be conceived as the first evaluation step of our present actions. By grasping the power that should come from a real understaing of our past, it is possible to analyse critically the present world order.

Following three pie chats depict the distribution of population globally compared to spending and consumption of resources by countries . Overall , we can obseve in the first figure that world spends more in food and transport .Whilst in second chart summerize population in the world with Asia has bigger share .However third figure notes that USA and Europe consume main resources of the world . By analysing following data , its evident that food have the bigger share of spending money including 24% of total spending . Whilst transport comes next including 18% , housing and cloths consume 12% and 6% respectively . Nevertheless other aspects of life consume 40% . Meanwhile second pie chart about world population . Although, Asia froms 57% of population , highest percentage , Europe and America form 28% distributed equally and Africa 10 % . Interestingly USA and Europe consume 60% of world resources and rest of the world consumes 40% . Clearly that USA and Europe constitue 28% of world population but they consume the main resources of the world.

History of human's life enriches us with pivotal informations .Some people believe no matter how valuable these informations , we often make our experiences and learn from our mistakes . However others stick with an idea that history of people can teach us alot of beneficial lessons . In my opinon , nobody can underestimate the past as it provides us many priceless wisdoms and precious informations . Following essay will discuss both sides argumaents and will give reasons for my personal opinion about topic mentioned above . General perception propagates that we learn only from our experiences.Those people who claim this idea believe that we should not inherit the history of our ancesrties , neither their mistakes nor their success. While past had done and people cant change it , as a result of that we can't live their failure or success and we are reponsible for our life only . Nevertheless , today individuals can't think the same way our old generations had . For instance ,a person who lived centuries before had different problems , diffrent type of job , and different life style, so it's no sense to waste time digging for informations about him , therefore our choices and decisions should be based on our experiences and our knowledge only . However, in my opinon , past will provide us a perfect picture for our present and reflect the future . Whilst the development that happened in all aspects of our life had resulted from accumulated experiences of other people who lived in the past . Hence their experiences including failiures and success enrolled into our life and depict recent picture we live today . Furthermore past could leverage lessons how to avoid mistakes , for example if we read the history of some countries and understand the reasons behind revolutions and civil diputes then we can put solutions for our problems at present, and avoid falling in intesive wrestles in future. Do we have the courage to do so ? To sum up, we need to learn more about the history of old people and try to figure out their problems and analyse their flaws .Hence we can solve many incoming problems we could face in future .

The line chart depicts by percentage the population aged 65 and over in three countries Japan , USA and Sweden , between 1940 and 2040. Overall , the figure shows that population in Japan would be expected to have highest percentage in alderly by 2040 . Meanwhile USA expected to have the lowest rate . A closer examination of the graph , it's seem that population in Japan was at low point in 1940 with 5% and remain relatively stable till 2020 .Afterwards the trend shows increase slightly to 10% in 2025 However, speculation of dramatic growth in trend after 2025 to reach 27% by 2040. Meanwhile in Sweden the data started 7% in 1940 . Athough the trend went up and down till 2020 with 15%. Nevertheless, expected to raise considerably to 25% in 2040. Likewise, in USA the data shows fluctuations starting with 10% in 1940 and expected to end by 23 % in 2040 .

Helping other people in society is noble goal ,to some people it's a big achievement .However rebuilding personality of individuals and giving them an opportunity to leave an influence in the community is reflecting the genuien humanity .Therefore i agree with notion that rich people who are, in fact have the ability to offer the help for orthers in order to recreate healthy environment for everbody to work in our society .The following essay will illuminate the reason behind my opinion . Regrettably . many people suffer form disadvantages situtaions nowdays like losing jobs or money ,they find themselves have no energy or motive to contiune and to help their families . As a result of that poverty propagates in some society and usually accompany with low level availability of education . Hence to avoid falling into misery, some countries nowdays help non governmenrtal organizations and institutions to give assist to poor communities in a manner to raise education and develop health sector. For instance , Red Cross and Save the children , both organizations offere help and leverage human rebuild personality which no doubt will enrich these communities with several benefits . In spite of green vevet picture that mentioned above , some people think that helping people alone is not enough . However , others believe that no matter how grim or daunting things may seem , if the individual have the courage to move a head , then everything is possible . Nevertheless people can find the motive inside eventhough life handed them a toughest time . For example Helen Keller .An American Author , although she born with disability but she could be one of greatest authors in western history . In summary , no doubt that people should have the courage to move a head whether they find help from others or not . However people who can offer the help will make our community live peacefully and bring prosperity to our offsprings .

The graph illustrates the population of individuals from 65 years old and above from three diffferent countries such as USA, Sweden and Japan from 1940 up to 2040. Overall, the population of individuals with the age of 65 or above from Japan compared to Sweden and USA in the years 1940 up to 2020 is relatively low. Around 2030 the proportion of the population aged 65 and above, sky rockets where it surpasses the population of USA and Sweden going from 10% to around 26%. In contrast, the population within the other remaining countries such as Sweden and USA from 1940 up to the 1990s remains the same. From 1990 up to 2010, the population for individuals in their 60s in Sweden increases tragically going from 13% up to 20% in only 10 years. USA on the other hand, the population is stable in these 10 years remaining to 14% then increasing back by 2020. For all countries such as USA, Sweden and Japan, the population aged 65 and above increases massively through out the years of 2030 up to 2040. Sweden and USA remains lower or at 25%, but on the other hand, Japan exceeds 25% and hits at around 27%.

Being wealthy could impact many people wether it could be positive or negative. There are certain aspect about being wealthy in which it could give oppurtunity to others and aid them through their toughest times. According to my point of view, being wealthy could be very beneficial to others who may not achieve the same oppurtunity as the ones with all the wealth. But according to my knowledge about this argument, being rich gives other individuals the oppurtunity to help. I do believe it is crucial for a rich person to help others since it gives a positive impact to them. There could be negative influences to a rich person associated with others but for the majority, its very beneficial. Since I have grown up in a city where poverty and the wealthy people were mixed together. Throughout my upbringing, I have been involved with peers who were financially stable yet some were not so fortunate. All throughout my childhood and adulthood I was gracefully apart of the middle class where we were financially stable and were able to end the month without a struggle. I consider myself as someone with a big heart where if one of my mates were unable to afford a specific food or snack, out of kindness and care I would propose to pay for it. The government in the city that I have spent my life in plays a major role into financially helping the citizens who are not financially stable. The government would donate large amounts of money and gift the major population money according to their stability. The government would gift money to people who have been a part of the society wether it was having a specific job or helping clean up the city when it went through a hurricane or other crisis. As far as I am concerned, the government in my city is extremely wealthy with large amounts of money to spare for its people. Of course there are certain limits on the amount the government gifts but for the majority of the time they have little to no struggle when helping other people.

The world today is often divided into two categories, more developed and less developed countries. This division is significant in terms of health, wealth and education. To minimise this gap, it is argued that richer countries are morally responsible to support the less wealthy. I, personally, feel that the prosperous countries are obligated and expected to to contribute to the development of countries with weaker economies.To address this argument, the history of the wealthy countries is relevant. Many less developed countries are former colonies, therefore the wealthy countries had a historical impact on the less wealthy. Thus, richer countries’ economies were dependent on the currently less developed countries for their rich status. Furthermore, even today the wealthy countries contribute to the wealth inequality by exploiting the inhabitants of less developed countries, giving workers lower wages than people within their own countries. Due to this dependence on poorer countries and the influence that the richer countries have had on the imbalance, it can be concluded that richer countries are indeed morally obliged to help the less wealthy countries.Opposing this is the view that each country is in charge of their own inhabitants and that therefore they need to provide health, education and basic necessities for themselves. In addition, simply providing these three services would not lead to closing the wealth gap. It would rather be helpful to invest sustainably in poorer countries and help them create their own systems, allowing these countries to be self-sufficient.In conclusion, while there is a moral necessity for wealthy countries to aid the poorer ones, simply providing basic necessities is not sufficient. A more sustainable idea would be to teach countries to plan and provide for themselves by giving economic incentives.

The debate over whether it is better to own or rent the property in which one lives is one that has strong supporters on each side. There are persuasive arguments for both points of view.One of the main advantages of renting a property is flexibility. Usually, a tenant only has to give a month’s notice before changing where he or she lives. If a property is owned and a change is needed, the property must be put onto the market and it is frequently a long and stressful process to get a sale completed. Sometimes, the wrong time of year or a bad market can mean that a sale is not possible. Another advantage of renting is that a large amount of a family’s capital is not tied up in the property. Property can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and often a lot more. If one rents, this money can be spent on other things to help improve the family’s quality of life. If the property is on a mortgage, then the deposit, also often very large, is tied up in the property and the pressure of having to make substantial payments every month can cause a lot of stress.Owning a property does have various advantages, though. Even though people usually have to service a mortgage every month with payments, this money is then built up with the property. With renting, the money is lost to the landlord, but at the end of the term of the mortgage, the whole property is owned by the family. This makes the process of living in a property a type of investment. In addition, the property’s value often goes up after time, frequently creating a substantial profit. Owning the property where one lives can also create a sense of well-being and self-actualisation.The decision to whether one rents or owns the property in which one lives really boils down to individual preference. My opinion is that it is much more preferable to own a property, mainly because it creates a valuable asset for the family.

It is certainly true that many people around the world find their lives dominated by the work that they have to do. This is shown when you realise how people’s work, and how much time, effort and resources they devote to it, is often the subject of conversation.Most people depend on their jobs to generate an income to pay for their lives’ necessities and luxuries, and so work can naturally become a dominating focus. As this is an important part of nearly everyone’s everyday life, it can seem that people’s lives are indeed becoming more influenced by their jobs. Whether this emphasis on work is more significant now than in previous years is debatable. In many developed countries around the world, there are procedures in place to help people with finding work, providing unemployment benefits, ensuring education, and offering pension payments. In times past, these provisions were not in place and a job or business was required to provide the necessary income.Therefore, in spite of increases in the cost of living in many places around the world, it can be argued there is actually less pressure than in previous years to keep one’s job and perform well at it. This, in turn, would lead to people’s lives being less influenced by their jobs today. It is also true that in the past, people were as responsible and focused on doing well in their responsibilities as today and so, in this respect, the people of the past would be equally dedicated to their work as people are today.While I agree that people’s lives today are often dominated by their jobs, I feel that the current situation is not necessarily worse than before. In fact, it may be more positive, due to the fewer pressures to earn money in many countries.

Traditionally in many parts of the world, it has been women who have stayed at home to care for children. This has led to the ideology and expectation that women are more suited to this type of work than men.The overwhelming status quo where women stay at home to care for the children probably derives from the fact that women are the ones who have to actually give birth to children and, following that, they are the ones who for the early part of a child’s life have to feed the child until it is weaned. In times past, this state of affairs probably led to the women assuming the permanent role of carer for the home and children, whilst men went out to work, whether it was to gather food or work in fields or factories.In spite of the fact that this became what was expected in family dynamics, it does not mean that men are necessarily less suited to caring for a child than women. It is very possible for men to care for a child, even from birth onwards in today’s world. Babies’ milk formula can be mixed by anyone and fed to a child. The fact that many women today choose not to do this again does not mean that they are better suited by nature to care for the child.Suitability for childcare is a matter for individual temperament and aptitude. Not many people, whether they are men or women, feel totally confident and knowledgeable about how to care for a baby or young child at the start. They need advice from their own mothers and fathers, midwives or from books. It is only from experience that skill with childcare comes and this skill can be acquired regardless of gender.All in all, I do not agree with the statement that men are less suited to childcare than women. I believe that aptitude to look after children is a matter of individual temperament, not gender-specific inherited qualities.

High-rise apartment blocks are a common sight in cities around the world. They are especially popular in large cities and in locations where building land is scarce. Living in such buildings has various advantages and disadvantages for town planners and the inhabitants themselves.The most significant advantage of high-rise apartment blocks is probably for the town planners. With land often being at a premium in large cities, one way to maximise space is to build upwards, so that the population density per square kilometre can be increased. The demand for housing in big cities can therefore be more easily met. There are also disadvantages for town planners. The heavier population density can put added pressure on social facilities, for example sewage and other waste disposal, and the provision of adequate school and medical services.There are also advantages and disadvantages for the actual inhabitants of high-rise apartment blocks. With the demand for housing being reduced, prices are therefore not as high, making housing more affordable. Many people also like not having to be responsible for a garden, and living in an apartment has this advantage. Finally, with so many people living in the same area, many friendships can be made and a community spirit can be built up. It appears the most significant disadvantage is that, in practice, living in high-rise apartment blocks is just not the lifestyle many people want. In some city neighbourhoods, these living spaces can often be associated with poor living conditions and undesirable social elements. In addition, many people view high-rise apartment blocks as being unsafe. For example, in the case of fire, tall buildings are difficult or impossible to evacuate safely.It is clear that high-rise apartment blocks have benefits and drawbacks. It is also clear, however, that due to the need to house increasing numbers of people in cities, these architectural features are here to stay, whether people like them or not.

The fashion industry today is an important component of society and people’s lives. It is true that many people care little for clothes and scorn the importance that others attach to them; however, this does not mean that the significance that people give to fashion is a waste of time and money.When one considers that areas of the world suffer from poverty, disease and inadequate access to food and clean water, the emphasis attached to fashion by the developed world can seem out of proportion. Many people would contend that the resources put into developing and creating fashion would be more ethically spent on creating some level of equality in terms of the right to live a healthy and happy life. This point is hard to argue with. However, it is also true that people in the developed world cannot be expected to send all their spending money to people in need and that wanting to look good is an unalterable human trait.The fashion industry contributes to the society much like most other industries. It provides jobs and income to millions of people around the world and the money that changes hands generates taxes that contribute to the fabric of society. There is more to fashion than trying to look better than others and excessive luxury. The high level of fashion is indeed a kind of art form and, like other art forms, there will always be people who appreciate it, want to create it and want to spend money on it. It is part of the development of civilisation and this is not likely to change.I therefore feel that, although the gap between the rich and the poor sometimes makes it seem that fashion is a waste of time and money and an unethical use of resources, fashion is an important part of today’s society and economic output. This leads me to believe that trying to strike a balance between selfish greed and a more altruistic way of living should be an individual choice.

There are many ways to learn new knowledge and skills. Traditional educational routes, such as school followed by college or university is one route that is generally accepted and respected by today’s society. It can be argued, however, that this is not always the best way. A more vocational route can be more appropriate for certain people and for particular jobs.Universities generally have deference given to them and, due to this, most schools tailor their programs to help students get university admission. Universities usually have respected and highly qualified teachers who have the knowledge and the skills to take their students to very high levels of knowledge and expertise. The very difficulty of gaining admission, getting through the duration of the course and passing final exams ensures to employers that graduates have the necessary self-discipline, intelligence and ability to get through the courses.Universities are also particularly well suited to the teaching of various subjects, for example, medicine, law and literature and these subjects need students’ full-time attention in order to do well. Although vocational experience is necessary, a certain grounding in basic concepts to a high-level is important. Once this knowledge has been acquired, students can then integrate their knowledge with practical understanding.This, however, is not the case for all areas of learning, especially ones where the quantity of high level knowledge is not required or is possible to be learned whilst working at the same time. Young people studying to be an electrician or a plumber are good examples. To do this work well requires a lot of experience, yet also a sound understanding of theory. The learning here can be and is done working and studying at the same time, often through apprenticeships and vocational courses involving significant amounts of work experience.Therefore, in my opinion, there are more ways than one to acquire a profession. Whether learning should take place at university alone or whilst working depends on the course and the end job.

Today’s society overwhelmingly depends on products made from fossil fuels. Most people would initially think about fuel for transport, but of course, fossil fuels are part of most of the fabric of life around us, from the plastics on our furniture to the pavements that we walk on. Changing our reliance on these resources can have various consequences; however, I believe that overall the society will benefit from finding viable alternatives for them.Depending on whether eco-friendly alternatives are developed, the positive effect on transport and the reduction of the associated pollution will be significant. Exhaust fumes from motor vehicles, planes and ships decrease air quality and contribute to global warming and the greenhouse effect. People’s health and the health of the planet will surely improve without these industries relying on fossil fuels. It could be that a type of transport crisis could develop as a result if society can no longer provide the power to transport so many individuals to where they want to go. This, however, does not have to be a bad thing, as it could force society to use alternative solutions, such as transport sharing and public transport development. The change in mind set has already begun. Some countries have already committed to having fossil fuel free transport and more cities are banning private vehicles from the centre of cities.Another positive development would be that more time and money would have to be put into developing renewable sources of energy, such as wind power, solar power, hydropower and tidal power. Technologies would improve and be more efficient and again, the world would use fewer sources of energy that cause pollution. This development can also be seen today, with many governments committing to proportions of their power needs coming from renewable resources.I, therefore, strongly agree with the statement that the changes from reducing reliance on fossil fuels will be positive. The only caveat is that society will need to have developed alternative sources of power rather soon, in order to avoid an energy crisis.

With ever increasing technological advances, computers and robots are replacing human roles in different areas of society. This trend can also be seen in education, where interactive programs can enhance the educational experience for children and young adults. Whether, however, this revolution can also take over the role of the teacher completely is debatable, and I oppose this idea as it is unlikely to serve students well.The roles of computers and robots can be seen in many areas of the workplace. Classic examples are car factories, where a lot of the repetitive precision jobs done on assembly lines have been performed by robots for many years, and medicine, where diagnosis, and treatment, including operations, have also been assisted by computers for a long time. According to the media, it won’t also be long until we have cars that are driven automatically.It has long been discussed whether robots and computers can do this in education. It is well known that the complexity of programs can now adapt to so many situations that something can already be set up that has the required knowledge of the teacher, along with the ability to predict and answer all questions that might be asked by students. In fact, due to the nature of computers, the knowledge levels can far exceed a teacher’s and have more breadth, as a computer can have equal knowledge in all the subjects that are taught in school, as opposed to a single teacher’s specialisation. It seems very likely, therefore, that computers and robots should be able to deliver the lessons that teachers can, including various ways of differentiating and presenting materials to suit varying abilities and ages of students.Where I am not convinced is in the pastoral role of teachers. Part of teaching is managing behaviour and showing empathy with students, so that they feel cared for and important. Even if a robot or computer can be programmed to imitate these actions, students will likely respond in a different way when they know an interaction is part of an algorithm rather than based on human emotion.Therefore, although I feel that computers should be able to perform a lot of the roles of teachers in the future, they should be used as educational tools to assist teachers and not to replace them. In this way, students would receive the benefits of both ways of instruction.

If one wants to work for money, there are really only two options, working for someone else for a salary and being self-employed. Most people are involved with these two options and they both have advantages and disadvantages.Being self-employed means that the worker owns the business that is being done. This might be a small one-person business or a large company with hundreds of employees. The first advantage of this is the capacity to earn more money. If the business does very well, the income can be considerable and the owner of the company will receive the benefits. On the other hand, if business is not good, the owner’s income will be low. Self-employed people also have the benefit to some extent of choosing their working hours and holidays and they have the right to change anything within their business. With this autonomy, however, comes the pressure to succeed and the reliance on one’s employees, if there are any, to do their best to make the business thrive.Salaried workers do not experience the same stress as the self-employed owners of companies. They might have stress in their duties, but the pressure that comes with keeping one’s own business operating successfully in order to support oneself and one’s family is just not felt by an employee. The employee also has a certain knowledge of his or her income, as the salary is usually fixed every month. The self-employed owner’s income often depends on how successful the business is. The employee’s fixed income, however, does not give much scope for earning large amounts more. In addition, an employee does not have the freedoms of the owner or the autonomy, and for many people, having control over their lives is a significant factor to their well-being.It is certain that there are advantages and disadvantages for both being self-employed and salaried. I personally disagree that being salaried is better than being self-employed. I prefer the autonomy that being self-employed brings and, although there is more risk and pressure, this can lead to greater and more fulfilling rewards.

Throughout the history of education, learning a foreign language or languages has been a constant component. Of course, many people feel that this is really an unnecessary part of education for everyone, but this is not a point of view that I share.The opponents to learning a foreign language might argue that most people do not travel that often outside their own country. In addition to this, out of all the countries of the world, comparatively not many share the same language. Therefore, learning a foreign language will only be useful for the very limited time that one spends in a country where this language is used. For some people, the language might never be used in their entire lives. When one thinks about how much time and money are spent training language teachers, buying resources, going on trips and delivering lessons for such a negligible benefit, this would seem to be a very inefficient allocation of resources.However, the benefits of learning a foreign language go further than just the ability to use it from time to time on a holiday or business trip. Firstly, through learning one language, one gains an understanding to some extent of how all languages work. Thus, no matter where people might end up around the world, the knowledge of language can be of use. Secondly, with the study of a foreign language, one also opens oneself up to other cultures. This allows in turn an appreciation for different points of view and belief systems. With an ever-shrinking world due to globalisation, the ability to empathise and understand the people from other countries is vital to reducing conflict and creating a more tolerant society. Finally, quite simply learning languages is excellent for the improvement of general cognitive skills.It seems to me that learning a foreign language, therefore, is more than just gaining the ability to speak a few words of a foreign tongue. It is part of intellectual and social development and needs to be continued for everyone in today’s schools.

It is indeed true that digital resources today far outstrip what can be put and stored in print books. Almost any kind of book can now be accessed digitally and those that can’t be will soon be changed to a digital format. Some people, therefore, believe that libraries with print books are no longer needed.If one looks at this issue dispassionately, it seems far more logical that people now should only read books digitally. It only requires a single computer or electronic reader and an individual can have access to the history of literature and works on all other fields. The costs involved with setting, typing, printing and distributing print books would practically disappear and this would make things more convenient and much cheaper. An actual library building would be totally unnecessary, as all one would need would be a ‘virtual library’ as a website and all works could be accessed through this portal. There would not even be any need to leave the house to gain access to anything one needed. This would seem to be the most logical way of proceeding.Logic, however, is not always the best approach to everything. Print books have a long history with humanity and our relationship with real books is not something that can be changed overnight. Many people, including younger readers, feel that there is something special about having a book with real paper and needing to turn pages. There will therefore for the time being be a future for print books and libraries.Libraries will continue to be especially important, as not all older people use computers and e-readers as much as the younger generation. They will still want to read print books and the library is a cheap and convenient place to find them. In addition, if only a few books in print are available in the future, libraries might be one of the few places where they might be accessed. Another purpose that libraries serve is acting as community centres that organise events, education and childcare. Ironically, libraries also provide computers and Internet access for people who cannot afford their own.In spite of the seeming dominance to come of digital books, I feel that there is and will be a place for libraries with print books. This state of affairs might change in the future, but at present, they are important community resources.

The responsibility for providing funds for retirement is incredibly important and something that is often overlooked by younger people. Some believe it is the responsibility of the individual to plan for this, but others feel it is the responsibility of the state.People who believe that the state should be responsible for funding retirees, base their argument on the fact that in most countries, people pay taxes and social charges to the government. This money, they argue, should also go towards the provision of a pension for the person paying the tax. In addition, those who have very small or no income, pay little or no tax and do not have the ability to provide for themselves. The government, therefore, in its role of caring for the population, has an obligation to pay a pension and provide other social benefits, such as medical treatment.Many others, however, feel that it is the responsibility of individuals to fund their own retirements. As adults, they argue, people should be able to set aside and invest money throughout their lifetime, so that they can retire with few financial worries. In many countries the government has legislated a framework allowing and encouraging citizens to save up and accumulate sufficient funds for the period after their working years have ended.I neither agree nor disagree with the statement, but rather my opinion takes in parts of both arguments. I feel that people should be responsible for saving money to fund their retirement, but I also feel that individuals who have not had the chance to do so should be supported by the government out of taxes. In my view, therefore, it is wrong to say that governments have no obligation to help people in this area. Governments are there to support the entire population of their countries, which includes the poorer elements of society.

Banning cars from the centre of various cities around the world has been a strategy to reduce pollution and encourage people to use public transport. It has had various positive effects for both individuals and for society as a whole.Banning cars from the centre of cities seems to be a very positive development. Fewer cars on the road means less pollution and fewer fossil fuel resources being used up. Although the effect on resources might be relatively negligible, it can create a newer way of thinking regarding the dynamics of transport within cities and this could be the most important benefit to society. Some people working in the centre of these cities may complain about inconvenience, but many would agree that this is a small price to pay.A reduction in the reliance of people on private vehicles is likely to encourage them to use public transport or even bicycles. Using public transport, especially the types that run on clean sources of power, will significantly raise air quality levels in cities, which will of course benefit everyone. The clean air could even further encourage the use of bicycles, which would in turn promote more healthy lifestyles and less obesity. This would contribute on an individual level to people’s well-being and a better and longer life, and on a societal level, it would lessen the strain on public health resources. Governments could encourage this by creating more bicycle lanes to make cycling easier and safer.In conclusion, it is clear that banning cars from the centre of cities is significantly beneficial. Better health and ecology, as well as improvement in longevity and well-being can benefit individuals and the entire society.

It has been a popular trend for some time now to put children into what can be called ‘work experience placements’. The children are taken out of school and take part in various types of work, usually for around a week. Some people criticise this trend, but I can’t see how it can be a negative experience.One of the criticisms is that children lose a week of schoolwork. With the pressure to do well at school increasing, children need every bit of help to maximise their potential. Taking them out of the school, it is therefore argued, stops them from getting access to needed education for a whole week. As the students won’t really be of much help to a workplace for just one week, it would therefore be better for them to remain at school.While this is a valid point, taking a child’s entire experience of school into account, a single week away does not make a significant difference. Indeed, if the timing of the week’s work placements is done correctly, the week can also serve as a kind of ‘holiday’ away from school, something that is regularly needed in order to allow students to remain fresh and enthusiastic. In many work placements, children also get to see some of things they learn at school put into a realistic context, allowing them to understand the relevance of what they learn and thereby creating a way to reinforce the learning.In addition to this, schoolchildren can be quite nervous about the world of work that they will have to join at some point in their lives. By getting this short taste of what it is like, they can see that it is nothing to be scared about. As well as this, children will often have some ideas of what they want to do for a living, but are not sure. By allowing them to see a type of work they are considering, they are better able to decide whether that career could be suitable for them.I feel, therefore, that work placements can be seen as a positive development. Missing a short amount of school is not serious and the benefits that can be gained from the placements are significant.

It indeed appears true that the frequency with which advertisements for charities appear both on television and the Internet seems to be increasing. There can be various explanations for this and it can be seen in both a positive and negative light.One explanation for the increase in the number of charity advertisements is that the charities themselves are becoming more aggressive in their marketing. This can also be seen in the common strategy nowadays to encourage a monthly donation, rather than a one-off donation. The increased marketing is apparent too in the increased numbers of ‘street salespeople’, who stop passersby and try to get them to commit to this monthly payment.A second reason for the increase could also be that there have been more charities started and the number of advertisements would therefore increase and become more noticeable. If these charities are all legitimate, this would mean that more help will be getting to causes that need it. The increase in charities could also be explained by a possible increase of humanitarian awareness. People might be now adopting different ideologies that take into account people in less advantageous positions.If the number of advertisements for charities has risen due to the fact that there has been a positive shift in people’s compassionate principles, this surely has to be seen as an optimistic development. If it is due to the fact that governments have been cutting back, it could be seen as a pessimistic development. In addition, if there are more charities asking for more money, this will inevitably mean that the amount of money donated will have to be more thinly spread, which would be a negative development.There could be several reasons for why there are more charity advertisements today. Whatever the reasons, as long as any money is helping people in disadvantageous positions, it must be seen as a positive development.
