Alternative Enery and Nuclear Energy

Renewable energy is energy that collected from natural sources. Solar power, wind power and wave energy are examples of the renewable energy sources which run out of in future. Nowadays, several countries are generating their energy from renewable energy sources. Because other energy sources which are fossil fuels, natural gas, are harmful for environment. There is wide range of controversy about renewable energy sources. However, using renewable energy could be beneficial. There are several reason some of them are; effect of environment, external dependency of the country and energy sources depend of environment.

   One of the greatest points to renewable energy sources is effect of environment. Using electricity rates are increasing day by day. The governments of the countries try to satisfy demand. Majority of these governments provide the electricity of the county from nuclear energy. Opponents of alternative energy defend that alternative energy plants covered giant space than nuclear energy power plants. People cut trees for this place. However, nuclear energy power plants have several dangerous for environment and people. So, these types of structures have to build in rural area and this event cause of deforestation. People slaughter the thousands of threes. These trees generate oxygen for us. At the same time trees host millions of animals. Alternative energy sources covered smaller place than nuclear energy power plant. For instance, according to Priesnitz (2010) “ a Philadelphia company, SRS Energy, has even developed a dark blue roof tile made from a high-performance polymer used in car bumpers that gas flexible solar technology embedded inside. The tiles are lightweight, unbreakable and recyclable… Additionally, a number of companies are introducing flexible, thin-film solar PV cells and modules that can be attached, via foil, directly rooftops.” (p. 28-32).  It provides acquisition of place and reduces the rates of deforestation

.

Opponents of alternative energy claim that alternative energy sources do not annihilate dependency on other countries. Some countries do not have any fossil fuel sources or nuclear energy plant. These countries have to meet their electricity requirement from other countries. It makes some countries dependent on other countries. Moreover, renewable energy sources do not provide generates adequate energy for country. In addition, install the solar panel or wind turbines are so expensive and it need to maintenance and repair at regular intervals.  However, technology is developing and alternative energy sources can be improved. For instance, Utility-scale wind turbines can be over 120 meters height. In normal circumstances this turbines can generate around 15.000 kWh per year. This energy adequate for small office ( Priesnitz, 2010). These types of wind turbines or solar energy panel can improve and used homes or shopping center. Moreover, if countries can supply electricity for other countries, it could be more beneficial for countries’ economies.

Opponents also maintain that energy sources depend on weather conditions. Countries do not have sunlight or wind every day, but people need to electric every moment. So, alternative energy sources are not useful. However, if electricity is not needed, the electricity can storable. The electricity can be saved for use another time when electricity demand is high. In this way country can meet their electricity need when sunlight or wind is not enough for create electricity. In addition, fossil fuels will be used up in future. People will start search new energy sources. If countries can improve themselves adequate, they can provide their electricity need from renewable energy sources.

The foregoing discussion has attempted to renewable energy sources are beneficial for environment, annihilate the dependency of the countries on other countries and energy sources is not depend on environment completely. Alternative energy sources have several benefits for environment and people. People will have to provide their requirement from nature. For this reason, people have to try improving renewable energy sources.

Performance Enhancing Drugs

        Performance enhancing drugs are foreign substances or tactic for raise the body’s endurance and strength. It affect hormones and ıt cause of the muscularity. Nowadays, several athletes try to be better so, they use this kind of drugs. Sportsperson take some drugs to strengthen muscle and curtail cell’s recovery time. There is wide range of controversy about performance enhancing drugs and whether they are harmful or useful. However, using doping drugs could be beneficial. There are myriad of reasons; health, fairness and cost.

         One of the greatest point to performance enhancing drugs is the health. Legalization of the use of doping drugs could be cause of rampant drug using. Unchecked use of medicinal substance are induced some health problems. Anti-doping restriction is required to inhibit injury from doping. On the other hand, sport is hazardous even if drugs are not taken. For instance, playing football has high risk for knee and ankle problems, moreover, and boxing can lead to brain damage ( Kayser, Mauron and Miah, 2009). Moreover, utilizing drugs under a doctor’s supervision is reduced the risk of side effect.

       Opponents of legalization of the doping drugs claim that using foreign substances do not provide fair competition. Taking doping drugs are increased the change of win a competition without any practice. They defend that if athletes do not take a drugs, they waste unnecessarily effort against the people who use doping on the competition; on the contrary, genes may be reason the disequilibrium. According to Egendorf (2007) “one theory states that European distance runners lag behind their African counterparts because African runners, such as those from Kenya and Ethiopia, can resist fatigue longer and o farther on the same amount of oxygen. Studies also show that Kenya runners tend to have slimmer legs then European runners, which means they do not need as much energy to run. Examination of this subject can be difficult, as it can lead to controversial conclusion on racial difference; however, physical evidence does suggest that body types are not universal.” (p. 8-23)

        Opponents also maintain that performance enhancing drugs’ costs are so high; nevertheless, ıf athletes do not take doping drugs, they have to pay much money to gym, since they want to be accomplished athlete and their genes are not enough for this kind of success. For this reason, taking drugs are not costly than doing exercise. Additionally, ethical justification of forbidding the utilizing of ergogenic stimulant in sports is inadequate. As the price of anti-doping control escalates year on year, ethical protest are increased that are heaviness than the ethical quarrel for performance enhancing drugs (Kayser, Mauron, and Miah, 2009).

       The foregoing discussion has attempted to performance enhancing drugs should be legal. The harmful lack of drugs, injustice of competitions and financial effect leads us to the conclusion that using doping drugs should be legalized. Sport ethic rules should contain some subject about being legalization of drugs.

Labour Force Participation Rate

The labour force participation rate is the measurement to evaluate working-age population in an economy. Labour force participation rate is defined as the segment of working population in the age group of 16-64 in the economy currently employed or searching for employment. People who are not looking for a job such as full-time students, homemakers, individuals above the age of 64, will not be a part of the data set. ( Jan, 2015) 

 

Figure 1: Labour Force Participation Rate in World, 2015

The graph demonstrates labour force participation rate in the world. it is generally seen that the labour force participation rate went down from 1990 to 2012. This is because at the time of economic decline, the economic activity was very low which results in fewer jobs across the country. The labour force participation rate declined 1.5 percent from 1990 to 1995. Whereas, ıt slightly increased by 0.45 percent between the years of 1999 and 2000. However, between 2000 and 2005 one can clearly see that the labour force participation rate was decreasing. Moreover, ıt continued to be diminished by 2012. The statistics show that labour force participation rate fell by 0,12 percent between 2012-2014.

People's participation in the labor market varies greatly across countries, economic development, education levels. (Verick, 2014) People’s welfare depends on their wage. If people do not receive education, they face some hardship consequences. Therefore,  people should get a good education to live their life in better conditions. Separately, some people worked very long hours with an  inadequate salary. These types of countries need some regulation about labour rights.

TV bring eating disorders

Hi!!!  Firstly, I talk about meaning of the eating disorders. Some people’s thinking is changed about their eating habits or appearances and ıt causes the people to eat more than the normally or less than the normally. We called eating disorders which is behaviors of   disrupted eating habits. Eating disorders are divided into 2 parts. These are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia.

    1)  Anorexia Nervosa                                                      

        Firstly we will examine Anorexia Nervosa. It is affecting one in every 100 women. Patients refuse to eat food and force vomiting for losing weight. Patients feel overweight even if they are extremely thin.

2)      Bulimia

Secondly we will examine Bulimia. People who have Bulimia are normally just a little bit over weight. These people usually consume large amounts of food when they eat. 

Secondly, I’ll examine place of the television in our life. The First television was first invented in 1923 US by John Logie Baird. TV was first 1930s. However the first image consists of black and white. The First colorful television was sold in 1950s USA.

Television has an enormous place in our life. About 75% of people own a TV set and watch for an average of 6 hours per day. Especially, students who are 6-14 years old, 50% of these students watch TV while they are eating food. In addition,  81, 5% of the people have 2 or more than two television in their homes. 28% of these televisions exist in kitchen.

Finally, we will look at effect of the television on the eating habits. If they watch television, and they are eating something, they get a lot of weight. If people are busy with something, what they eat or how much they eat is not significant. Because people do not realize what they eat and they may eat a lot of food. When people look in the mirror, they realize they are fatter. In addition, there is no doubt that the ideal body size, as reflected in the style icons promoted in the media, is getting thinner. When people, especially women, watch the television they see a lot of thin people and they think they are very fat and if they lose weight they can resemble thin and beautiful women. They immediately start the diet and they start doing exercise for very long time. But diet is very hard because they change all eating habits. They generally eat green vegetables and they avoid eating meat and fat. After a while, they lose a lot of weight but losing weight is been significant disease. Even if they lose weight, it is not adequate for these people. When People see the thin actresses or actors again, they feel pressure from many sides to control their weight, from th

e media.

Ebola

Firstly Ebola seen in Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976.This disease call Ebola because Ebola seen first time  in village which near the river of Ebola. Ebola generally spread African Countries and lastly seen in Nigeria.Ebola virus is very dangerous. It cause of the diarrhea, bleeding, exuviation and high fever. Ebola spreads from person to person through bodily fluids and blood. Scientific couldn’t prove Ebola spread through air in the nature. People believe the fruit bats carry unaffectedly the Ebola. Ebola can spread through people after people be infected.Ebola haven’t got specific treatment. Disease’s has high death rate. Patient’s dead rate of %50 to %90.Ebola virus was infected 1000 person each year between 1976-2013.scientists try to find vaccine but we haven’t got available vaccine yet.

No Smoking

               Every day, millions of people smoke cigarette all around the world. Cigarette has a lot of bad ingredients such as nicotine which cause of the depending on the cigarette. Moreover, people need to smoke everywhere. Some of  them go to school and some of them go to work. Actually, they continue their life around some people who not smoke and they become restive other people who smoke cigarette in public places. While there are many people who supports smoking should be banned is a good idea due to the reason; such as passive smoking and bad smell. There are some opponents who stay on the opposite sides because of the reason that they think smoking in the outside cause of the loosing time for students and workers.
                First of all, people should not smoke cigarette in public places because smoking is not affected only people who smoking cigarette. At the same time smoking is created passive smokers. Smoking has a lot of bad effect for people. Furthermore, smoking damage some people who smoke cigarette or they only be located around the smokers. Especially, smoking affected of the pregnant and kids more than other people.
                 Secondly, some people can become sick such as asthma, because cigarette has bad smell. This bad smell does not only cause of be disturbed, also ıt cause of the chronic disease, for instance asthma. It can be cause of the cancer and ıt can be cause of the people dead.
        On the other hand, some people think smoking cause of the loss of time for students and, workers, because when they want to smoke cigarette they have to go open area and this event cause of   the losing time. However, if smoking is banned, a lot of people can disuse smoking. It is very tiring and people disgust to go to outside. Additionally, if they smoking in their room maybe their customers become restive smoking scent or if they work with their coworkers in the same room their coworkers for not want to smoking in there. In addition, students think smoking should not banned public places. However they study with their friend, too. In addition, cigarette is very harmful for people. If government is allowed for smoking in public places, smoking is spread quickly and plenty of people smoking cigarette more than now.
          In conclusion, smoking should be banned in public places since smoking creates passive smokers, bad smell and not to less of time for students and workers. There are already plenty of causes to banned smoking in public places.

Heydar Aliyev Center

I will talk about very interesting building which name is haydar aliyev center. The Heydar Aliyev Center is a 619,000-square-foot building complex in Baku, Azerbaijan designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid . The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and president of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003.The project is intended to play an integral role in the intellectual düşsel entellektüel  life of the city. 

Located close to the city center, the site plays a pivotal role in the redevelopment of Baku.All functions of the Center, together with entrances, are represented by folds in a single continuous surface.Architecture is located in Azerbaijan mythology reflects the rise of the Caspian Sea Heydar aliyev center was built 3.5 years and ıt was cost 205 million euro. Building is completed in 2012The Center houses a conference hall (auditorium), a library, a museum and galleriesThis fluid form gives an opportunity to connect the various cultural spaces whilst  süresince ragmen at the same time, providing each element of the Center with its own identity and privacy. An internationally recognized architectural work, the building of the Heydar Aliyev Center has become a signature landmark of modern Baku due to its innovative and cutting-edge design.
