terrorism

Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. At present, there is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.

Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The history of terrorist organizations suggests that they do not select terrorism for its political effectiveness. Individual terrorists tend to be motivated more by a desire for social solidarity with other members of their organization than by political platforms or strategic objectives, which are often murky and undefined.

The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. Studies have found over 100 definitions of “terrorism”. The concept of terrorism is itself controversial because it is often used by states to delegitimize political or foreign opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of terror against them. A less politically and emotionally charged, and better defined, term (used not only for terrorists, and not including all those who have been described as terrorists) is violent non-state actor.

Terrorism has been practiced by a broad array of political organizations for furthering their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments. One form is the use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individua.

DRUGS

Because drugs are so pervasive in today’s society, it is our responsibility to fight against this problem. Nobody is going to do it if we don’t. We must think about the kids, we don’t want them to grow up in a society full of vices. There are lots of things we can do to prevent the consumption of drugs though it is a difficult process. Nowadays, we have plenty of rehabilitation centres, which are good, but it’s not the solution, because the person has already suffered damages.

Maybe, the most important factor is education in schools as well as in home. Wherever we look, our kids receive a lot of influence from society, most of the time, this influence causes bad results. Parents should talk about drugs with their kids whenever possible. Schools should have a great number of educational programs about vices, because drugs are anything that causes addiction, and then we can consider alcohol as a drug.

Many people think that the economical situation is an important fact that has to be considered in the topic, but I don’t share their opinion because poor people consume cheap drugs and rich people consume the expensive ones. What to do then? Well, it is important that young people can use their time doing meaningful activities such as sports. It is so important that they practice these kinds of activities surely then consumption of drugs will reduce.

POLLUTION

One way to reduce or eliminate automobile pollution is to forbid people to use their cars one day during the week, which might seem not very useful, but if we think about it, we’ll realize about our helping environment.

Indeed, we are going to reduce a seventh part of the pollution produced in a week. It is something we hadn’t thought about, had we? Even when we are able to do this, we have to fight against a greater problem. People want to have a better environment; however, they don’t do anything to achieve it. As a result, any effort to fight against pollution has been spoiled until now.

First we have to make people more aware of the environmental problem. Second we have to ask our governor to forbid the people to use their cars on day in a week, yet this is only the beginning.

Automobile pollution is one of the biggest problems, though that is not the only one. If we really want to make a progress about environmental pollution, we have to start working ourselves. I few don’t do it, who is going to do it for us?

overpopulation

Given the choice between letting events follow their current course and making some serious changes, people from all over the world are expected to understand the problem that our planet is facing, and decide to do something about the problem of overpopulation. Sadly, we can realize that the human race is like a plague, because as population grows, natural sources are destroyed.

Having defeated a lot of diseases, population growth has increased, because people are living much longer than they used to. Facing this problem, what are we expected to do? Should we let people be killed by wars or lack of food and water? This is too cruel; the best option is simply to prevent childbearing.

Nowadays, we can hear wherever we are, about the end of water in the world, but, do people realize that this is a real and a major problem? I don’t think so, indeed, people are using water in the same measure they always have, if not more. This is a clear proof which unfortunately, make us see the reality about ourselves. It is the same with other natural resources. Let’s talk about food. By using new methods of farming, farmers have increased the amount of available food, but, is this enough? Can food grow in the same measure people do? I don’t think so. As population grows, fields will be in danger, People will have to cut more trees and as result, some species of animals will die, and hormones will be used even more than now.

What to do? In my opinion, governors from all over the world should propose the passing some laws in favour of controlling childbearing. Each family shouldn’t be allowed to have more than two kids, so that we can achieve Zero population growth. We can also encourage the use of contraceptive methods, especially condoms, which can be provided free of charge by the government of each country.
