There is no doubt that the Internet is one of the greatest humankind's inventions of the last century. It is fast and easy way to get a lot of valuable information. However, some people believe that the Internet creates many problems. From my point of view I think that the Internet brings us advantages as well as disadvantages.

First of all, I think that the Internet brings us many benefits. People can have access to the latest news, weather, traffic, bid-and-asked quotations, etc. Another important benefit is that the Internet is a great means of communication. A few years ago it was rather difficult to imagine that it would be possible to communicate with people from all around the world. Students have the opportunity to speak to the professors from prestigious universities, ask their opinions and extend their range of interests. People have the opportunity to communicate with the people from other countries, find out their customs, traditions and even visit each other. I think that the Internet makes our world smaller and friendlier. We' ve got the chance to learn more about the world's history, our forefathers and gain more knowledge.

From the other hand, many questions and difficulties arose with the appearance of the Internet. For example, children got the easy access to the information they are not supposed to read. Also, people's security and privacy are often violated through steeling and gathering information about people and then selling it. Many banks had to increase their Internet security because of hacking.

However, I believe that Internet gave us more advantages and opportunities than disadvantages and problems.

       smoking is harmful for your health. Many smokers die because of cigarettes. Tobacco is a drug for many people, they can't stop it. Smoking must be forbidden in public places. Smoking is not pleasant for nonsmokers.I don't smoke (of course). And my family doesn't have smokers. So I hate smoking. Smoking is not good for our bodies' health. So I won't smoke in my life.Actually the tobaco smoke contain three principal dangerous chemicals; i.e. tar,nicotine & CO. Tar badly affects our lungs, nicotine affects our lungs, nerves & cardiovascular system. All these problems may lead to cancer. Smokers by kissing cigarettes may get mental satisfaction, they may get mental pleasure, but they simply burn their life span.
In my opinion, the smoking ban in public places is a very good idea. Why? when I go to restaurants, my clothes smell of cigarettes and it is very unpleasant. Secondly, smoking is dangerous for smokers' health and non-smokers' health. Thirdly, the smoking ban is excellent because a lot of people die of lung cancer. In conclusion, I say the smoking ben will not be for pubs' landlords because customers will always go to pubs to have fun.

Finally,

Although smoking in public places is very common there are some people who think that public smoking in certain places should be banned by law and I support this idea. In my opinion it should be banned particularly in places where people eat.

10-year-old kills 90-year-old

In the article “Cops: Boy, 10, kills woman, 90, for yelling at him” by Ray Sanchez from CNN, the case of a young boy that killed a woman that was probably babysitting for him. The story was that she yelled at him for coming into the room that she was sitting in. He got mad at her and he choked her with a wooden stick while also punching her in the throat. He did not keep hurting her until she died because he only meant to hurt her. It sounds like he hurt her and asked if she was ok and if she wanted to go to the hospital, but she said no. So, Anthony left the room and came back later to find that Novak was dead.

This is a very sad story, and I think it is related to the common youth violence that happens in our society. Kids nowadays have too much experience with really bad violence like killing, guns, hurting others, and bad language from sources like television, video games, and family violence. Parents should try hard to keep their children away from this kind of violence. It is obvious that there is a relationship between the violence that kids watch and the violence they are involved in, and that there is much more of that relationship now than there was in the past. For example, no one would ever expect these kinds of problems to happen back in the 1950’s, because there was not as much violence as there is now.

Ebola Disease

Recently, the Ebola disease was found in the U.S. down in Texas. A man from Liberia came to the U.S. after going to Liberia was screened but did not show symptoms of the virus. After he realized that he had the disease, he went to the hospital, and was treated for being sick, but he did live through it. Investigators have said that they tested everyone that he could have interacted with, and did not find anyone with the disease. However, two nurses that were treating him in the hospital did get the sick. So, now there are two people sick with the Ebola virus. One of the nurses, Nina Pham, was treated in the Texas hospital for some time, and then they decided to move her to the National Institute of Health so that they can try to save her. The other nurse, Amber Vinson is now being questioned because they think that she could have been sick earlier than before.

I think that in a situation like Ebola, the solution is very clear. Everyone who has had contact with the Ebola virus should not move one step out of their houses or the hospital. This is a very serious situation, and people are dealing with the disease, and then going on vacation. I cannot believe how dumb these people are. If I was in charge, I basically take away the freedom of the people who are sick, and put them in hospital “jail”, for a WHOLE MONTH. There is no need to worry about exactly when the patient maybe was in contact. Just stop the problem by any possible.
