Is the telephone a curse or a blessing?

The world has become technological world. The people are becoming more conscious about the technology and the use of the technology it has been wild.  Alexander Graham Bell probably never thought that the invention would actually be important to the world that without it, communication everywhere would grind to a halt. The value of telephone today cannot be overemphasized. Governments, business and private individual need to keep touch with people and by far the quickest and most convenient method is via telephone.

Can such invention would ever be cure? At quick assessment it seems impossible, but there are some instances in life when we could wish the telephone did not exist. It has made us contact us at every moment at any time. Ironically, this is also a curse. Many of us have times in which we do not want to be contacted .In the sense of our friends or family. When we are busy and want to deny the phone calls then also the ringtones never stops. So, it makes us feel irritate at those times. Some times in the odd times like ate meal and at the time of bed also and even on the mid of the night the ringtones may vibrate your bed or anywhere else. So, at that moment we wish telephone would never exist.

The technology of the telephone invention has made the art of writing the letter dead. It has made the people much easier and has made the people in touch. Everyone is in touch with their friends, family whether they are near or far, it doesn't matter. Telephone has been a blessing for those who could be live like a family even though they are miles far away.

In spite of the inconvenience that the telephone sometimes causes, its advantages far overweight them. The fact that we can be available on the telephone at all times means that businessman can make and covey quick decisions. We know that today the extreme fast decisions should be made for making the business successful.

The crime starts with the telephone. The nightmare of telephone is the phone threaten and doing the business. The kidnapping and bullying has been possible with the telephone too. Then how could we say that telephone is blessing for us?

Definitely, the telephone is a great blessing, but we cannot ignore it as a curse. In fact that the telephone connivance for communication, has made the globe as a global village and a lot of things in the world will not able to function.

Should advertising be restricted in any way?

Advertisement has been exiting probably as ancient as civilized society. Signs put up by potters that theirs is the best pottery in the town have been unearthed by archeologists. So, far from an early age, humans have been trying to persuade others to buy their goods or employ their services. As we know that, every company advertisement its products, whatever the product is good or has the bad effect. For instance, tobacco consuming is injurious to health and the wine is not good for health even though these products have been advertising in many societies. Surely advertising should be completely restricted for the good of societies.

Humans are easily persuaded. Though it is true that we all have facility to tell what is good from what is bad, the power of advertise
ments is usually so powerful in persuading us that we often suspend reasons. Alcohol drinking is bad for health but advertisement knows exactly what to appeal to, to persuade us. Alcohol advertisements titillate our senses and project the information that drinking alcohol- of certain brand - will make us sexually more desirable or put us in a better standing in the society. Reasons makes us realize that cannot be true, but emotions usually rule. To make it worse, the advertisements are often repeated and after some time begin to work on the subconscious mind. What is even more of puzzle is that we did ban cigarette advertisements.

Not only in advertisements, but in laws and rules too, there is a tendency for humans not to comply but to find ways on how to break the rules legally. For instance when advertising, it is important that the advertising is not misleading. So, what do advertisers do? Instead of following the rule, they try to walk the line. They try to word advertisement in such a way to make them appear vague and truthful. Advertisements about the sliming of the body were a attractive medium for the ladies to be slimmer these days. But the result was not satisfied after used and there was arouse the conflict between them.  Without a doubt there must be some restriction against such advertisements. Unfortunately there seems to be a system of 'let the buyer beware'. This throws the onus on the buyer and the advertiser is able to get away with what is almost blatant cheating.

More stringent laws are required in the case of advertisements. Advertisements should be restricted even further than they are to protect buyer. laws should be passed to further protect the consumer.

Is sports too closely linked to money these days?

After the competition of world cup the buying and selling of the football stars has strike its news in the internet and in newspaper as a viral. The selling of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez to the span's club Barcelona and buying the striker James Rodriguez by the Real Madrid in huge sums has overflow its news in Internet. The all times higher transfer of Gareth Bale from the Tottenham Hotshot to the Real Madrid was had also been a great new in sports. So there are huge sums of money in sports.

It is amazing that prices are attached to sports stars saying that they are worth so much. It is also unbelievable that they are bought and sold between clubs. This is much a prevalent practice that no one stops to ask if the practice is human. What really means is that the sports stars play for money; what they do is make livings. What used to be a game like football -it not so anymore. So, much so that even children's who play football in schools have an eye on the future when they hope to play for big money. On the playing fields, where one sees the stars in the action, one sees why games are not games anymore. Actually games are battles by proxy. The stars need to score in order to keep their price tags intact. A sport is certainly linked too much to money.

Perhaps the popularity of a sport is what makes it such a big money concern. Whereas, sports used to be played in stadium watched by a few thousands spectators, sports nowadays is broadcast over TV and radio, and watched or listened to by millions. The broadcasting involves huge sums by way of advertisements and is a great source of income for the broadcasting stations. Naturally a rivalry exists between stations to get the contract for the broadcasts. Again money is involved.

Countries throughout the world are caught in the sports and money rackets as well. Like the mercenaries that join armies to fight for a fee, sports stars work for countries sports team. Of particular note in this area is football. It is common for countries to hire sports star to join the country's team in exchange for exorbitant fees and then play and win with the other teams in the neighborhood. The stars are given fantastic perks like housing and citizenship to tempt them. One wonders if the countries feel any real glory when what they have is a team of mercenaries playing for them. Again we see the issue of money looming like a giant in sports.

Lastly, but certainly no less important, is the issue of gambling. Sport as a form of gambling exists even in the countries where governments are known to be against gambling in the other forms. Every one bets and since the gambling involves enormous amounts of money, there are those who wants to win at any cost. Doping match fixing and even hurting of opposing players take place. Again, we see that money is at the back of all the dishonesty.
It is therefore true that money nowadays is too closely linked to money. Since the dominance of money is sports, it is just a business. Gone are the days when sports used to be, well sports.

The Death of Birth

                                                                         

          Before Brazil's great land rush, the emerald rain forest Rondonia state were unspoiled showcase for the diversity life of diversity. In territory south of the Amazon, there was very much  hardly a break in the canopy of 2oo-feet tall trees, and virtually every acre was alive with the cacophony of all kind of insects, birds and monkeys.On, 1970s, came the settlers of swarms , slashing and burning swaths through the forest to create the roads, towns and fields. As far as  we know, soil that supported a rich rain forest is not well suited to corn and other crops, and mostly  the newcomers can eke out only an impoverished and disease-ridden existence. While on the process, they are destroying an ecosystem and the millions of species of plants and animals that live in it. An approximately 2o% of Rondania's forest was gone, and at present rates of destruction, it will be totally wiped out with 25 years.Don't they?

       Nearly every habitat is a risk. Forests in the northern hemisphere have fallen to lumbering,  acid rain .Resulting, Marine ecosystems around the world are threatened by pollution, and overfishing in the coastal development. It is in the topics, that the battle to preserve what scientists call biodiversity will be won or lost. Tropical forests cover only 7th% of the earth surface, but they house between 50% and 80% of the planet's species.

  Despite the alarm with which scientists view this trend, probably the  biodiversity has just surfaced on the world's political agenda. Problems of high-profile animals such as tiger and rhino grab public attention, while mny people hardly see the point of worrying about insects and plants.Do they? But extinction is the one environmental calamity that is irreversible. As a result lowly species disappear unnoticed, they take with them  and hard-won lessons of survival encoded in their genes over many years.

 Humanity already benefits greatly from the genetic heritage of little known species. Approximately 25% of the pharmaceuticals in use in the U.S. today contain ingredients  derived from wild plants.Don't they? Hidden anonymously in clumps of vegetation about to be bulldozed or burned might be plants with cures for still unconquered diseases. Janzen said "I know of three plants with the potential to treat AIDS'.

Finally, the unfortunate reality is that many habitats are not going to be saved. While preventing the genetic legacy of those areas from being extinguished and as many species as probably should be preserved in zoos, botanical gardens and the other gene banks. probably the  scientists can study a small percentage of threatened organisms and have the options of later returning them to the wild or transplanting some of their genes into other species.

can money buy happiness?

People used to change goods with goods for their survival. Slowly people feel uneasy to exchange goods with goods. The system was called barter system. After all some intelligence people wants to make something as a medium of exchange. So the money was introduced for the betterment of people. Slowly the process was continued.

 A piece of paper or a coin which has the power to purchase things is defined as the money. We are using money as the medium for exchanging. Money is nothing rather than a piece of rectangular paper. In this modern age money has the great value. Human of today’s age run after the money.

People think money can buy everything. Is it true? Can a piece of paper can buy everything which we need. Some people may give answer is yes and some in no. But, in my view money can buy happiness for a short time which may turn into sadness. I do agree money can buy a luxurious bed? But not a deep sleep. Money can buy a huge amount of food but it cannot buy a little bit of hungriness. We should give money as medium but not as an importance. Basically we can see that many people fights for money. Why is it so? Our life is now totally depending on money. Because of money many crimes are committed in our society. Human’s beings are being more inhuman because of money. We people should take a lot of benefits by proper use of money. Everything has the positive as well as negative part. The thing is that we should achieve only a right thing. In another side we also see that many people have got a new life by the help of money. Money gives life as well it takes also. It depends on the user .The modern world is the gift of money. Many development has taken place due to money.

Would food scarcity be an issue in the coming years?

In a large number of poverty stricken countries, there are some alarming agricultural trends. The ozone and greenhouse cries are bad enough, but there are other problems that are far more immediately pressing-soil loss and deforestation, the shrinking of cropland, the genetic erosion of the major grain crops and the terrifying depletion of the oceanic fisheries. The world is realizing that the technologically triggered green revolution which brought food abundance with its industrial farming of genetically hybrid and chemically dependent grains has not been completely successful. The abundance it generated was temporary. It is now realized that it has also brought diseased soils, pest-infected crops, water-logged deserts and disgruntled farmers. There was prediction in 1968 that, as population grows, life would get nastier. Today, world population has strike the 7 billion and as doomsters say, people are trapped in absolute poverty. Population has growing 90 million a year and the production of grain has dropping by 1% a year. A current emphasize to fight hunger, which gives hope, is to help the small farmer who was squeezed out by industrial agriculture and made landless and unemployed.

The optimism of the early eighties that food shortage will not be a global problem owing partly to food sufficiency and import from the U.S. has since faced. In the nineties, world wheat and corn prices set records height-a sign that demand had outstripped production. The addition of 90 million a year and rising affluence accounted for the increase demand. Several factors, including policies related to the use of water, land and energy are covering to create food scarcity and raise prices.

Using more fertilizer will have little effect on yields as developments in recent times have shown. There was a time when fertilizer use raised land productivity and expanded the world's food supply. Farmers in many countries realize that fertilizer use has now exceeded the physiological capacity of existing crop varieties to absorb the applied nutrients .Additional use of fertilizer seems to have little or no effect on yields. What farmers have discovered is that the key to high agricultural productivity is water resources.  A new formula has to be worked out.

Asian countries, especially china and India, are becoming industrially strong but agriculturally vulnerable. Economic development of the Asian region and the consequent rise in affluence has boosted grained livestock products. The broiler industry grows. The demand for milk products increases. Grain that should sustain the poor is diverted to livestock to satisfy the demands of the affluent. Feed grain use is rising throughout Asia and some Asian countries like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan import more than 70% of the grain they consume and depend on the U.S. for grain exports, but these exports vary widely year by year. Aid from donor countries cannot be always relied upon since fiscal stringencies weaken support for food aid.

Population growth is also another frustrating factor. Countries with grain deficits are expected to experience rise in population. China, now turning to the outside world for massive quantities of grain will need by 2030 an amount equal to current world exports. India and Pakistan that are now experiencing depletion of water resources will also have to rely on imports. Will the U.S. able to cover the need of all these countries that are to experience grain deflects? It has seen probably impossible as there is little land to plough and agricultural productivity slow down yearly. A concomitant of food scarcity and spiraling grain prices is social unrest and political instability.

Therefore, global food scarcity can be averted if the deleterious practices of today are checked. The concept of small family size can be encouraged by educating women and empowering them. Non-farm uses of land for industry transport and recreational facilities are to be reduced and efficient use of water help to expand production of food. We may hope that man is capable of developing new technologies to bring a quantum jump in world food production.Probably,don't we?
