Essay 889 Topic 178 What changes will the 21st century bring? Humans will become immortal in 21st century. Now this sounds funny. But then 100 years ago who would believe that we would be capable of cloning humans? In my opinion, in 21st century, globalization will reach its peak, we will progress further with IT, medical science and cosmology, and we will use only solar and other similar type of energies instead of energy recourses obtained from oil. There will be more positive than negative gains of our fast development in this century. Globalization will continue. Continents will become closer than ever. It will take few hours to get from one continent to another one. For example, even now we can reach London from New York within 4 hours by supersonic jets. We will advance further in IT field. The communication will be so advanced that people will not have to leave their houses and will be able to work from home. Even now we already can communicate with each other via ideo chat?in our PCs. Developments in medical science especially in cloning field will enable us to replace our orn?organs by new ones and we will be even able to obtain new ody?whenever we want. We will become immortal. According to recent issue (April 2003) of merican Scientific? there is already possibilities to develop artificial tissues which can be used in human body. Our entire understanding of cosmology will change. According to October 2003 issue of ewsweek?magazine, scientists only now started to realize that universe is expanding much faster that they originally thought and that it is not the gravitational power but some unknown energy which causes the galaxies to swirl violently and move away from each other rapidly. In 21st century, we will at last have an answer to how our universe was created. In 21st century our cars will no longer use petrol and they will use electricity or solar For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org energy instead. So will airplanes, busses and other means of transportation. Already now we are using electrical cars. However there will be also negative gains in 21st century. According to scientists by 2050 the population of the planet will reach 20 billion people. With limited food resources, we will have difficulties to sustain our ever growing population. And of course, the world will become more competitive. Because of globalization, we will be also more vulnerable to different kid of new diseases. The recent example is SARS, which was originated somewhere in the village in China but then quickly spread to other countries and continents. But besides of all the developments in medical science, cosmology, IT and other fields, in 21st century people will become more educated and evolved and things such as religion, believe in God, racism etc. will vanish thus setting us free from our differences and uniting all of us in the planet. Essay 890 Topic 178 What changes will the 21st century bring? The 21st century has definitely begun with a lot of uncertainty for many people. Some anticipated the end of the world, some forecasted incredible changes and improvements in quality of life. In my opinion, the 21st century is going to be a century of very quick technological progress and development. Manual labor in many industries will be soon replaced with computer controlled robots and machines. Humans will be forced to use their mental ability rather than physical one. For example, I think that people will concentrate on generating new ideas and doing scientific research to find new ways to treat variety of human diseases that could not be treated properly before. I also suppose that humans will deepen their research in improving the current conditions in which the Earth`s environment finds itself right now. Hopefully, new synthetic materials will be discovered and scientists will figure out a way to use world resources more efficiently. Along with technological improvements the 21st century will bring us new problems and changes in our social lives. For example, many people will face problems of unemployment, since computers and machines will do most of the work. Maybe to some extent people will face communication crisis, since new means of communication such as cell phones, Internet and other media will gradually replace more old-fashioned private talks and discussions, visits and ace-to-face?meetings, which might make some people feel lonely or not appreciated. In my opinion, the major change, that the 21st century will bring us, will occur in international relationships. I think that competition for the spheres of influence among different countries will increase, because right now more and more countries are becoming more powerful and ambitious. World leaders will have to find new solutions on diplomatic level to maintain world peace and equilibrium. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org No matter what the future may bring us, I hope it will be all good! Essay 891 Topic 178 What changes will the 21st century bring? The 21st century has begun. As many other people, I expect that it would bring some changes to the world of technology, science, healthcare and culture. We live in a fast developing society and almost every day brings something new and different to our life. First of all, with the beginning of the new century, I would expect changes in the computer technology. In my opinion, computer industry will develop so fast that even in the near future we can expect radical changes in it. For example, computers that we use now will be changed to new, much faster and advanced. All computer networks will be wireless; the speed of Internet connection will increase and dial-up connections will consider obsolete. People will use Internet all over the world; moreover, we will be able to work and study from any point of the planet using high-speed wireless Internet connection. The next big change that I would expect should be in the healthcare and medical science. I hope that with the development of advanced technology, scientists will invent medicine for such threatening diseases as Cancer and AIDS. People will not suffer from these and many other illnesses and will not feel enormous pain any more. I believe that the quality and length of human`s life will increase in 21st. In addition to mentioned above, I guess that there will be big changes in the culture. We will, probably face new tendencies in architecture, applied arts, music and fashion. I think, that art in general will be more colorful. People will probably invent new techniques in painting, drawing and sculpture as well as in architecture. We will still like and appreciate classic music; however, many new musical instruments will, probably, begin their existence in the near future. From the worlds history we learn that every century had some new inventions and developments, which influenced on human society. I strongly believe that in 21st we will meet many changes in technology, medical science and culture. I hope that those changes will bring a great amount of positive aspects and will provide better quality of life to many people. Essay 892 Topic 179 What are some of the qualities of a good parent? When one is born, till when one gets married, his/her parents are with him/her. Parents teach their children to talk, to walk, and to dress. These are the three characteristics that define any human being as a member of any society. A good parent teaches his/her child respect, he/she teaches the child how to interact with society, finally a good parent make For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org his/her child feel like they are wanted and loved. Good parents are a blessing of God, they are simply ideal members of society. Whenever one sees another member of society talk in a polite and respectful manner with others, the parents of this particular individual are the first persons that come to mind. A good parent teaches his/her child how to talk to elders, how to dress in a respectful manner, and how to walk and a decent way. Any person in his/her straight mind will judge a person simply by these three characteristics. A child learns by example. Just as any person learns best by experience, a child learns best by seeing others. They way the parents interact with society, the way they talk, and dress are what affect the way a child does so. No-matter how well-educated anyone becomes, self-confidence is something attained by either extreme hard work and dedication towards the matter, or by the parents of an individual. A good parent teaches his/her child how to talk to other members of society, without feeling shy or unwanted. Talking in front of a large crowd with command over ones speech is not a fool`s play. It is only attained by practice, which is received by ones own parents. Finally, A good parent makes his/her child feel like they are wanted, loved, and cared for. As mother Teresa once said, he biggest disease is feeling that one is unwanted, unloved, and uncared for, love begins in the home. ?This is absolutely true. A child who feels left out and lives in solitude cannot blend into society in a normal manner. This feeling of being left out is not only experienced to a person during the early stages of his/her life, but it is carried through into ones twenties, thirties, and so on. The parents are the ones responsible for making a child feel like they are wanted and they are an important part of their lives. From reviewing the above mentioned points, it is clear that a good parent is one who takes full responsibility of teaching the child how to respect others, how to interact with society, and make them feel they are wanted. In a way the parents in a particular country are responsible for the countries future, if they train their children in a good manner the country will definitely progress, whereas if the parents interact with their children in a menial manner, and make them stubborn the country is surely destined to be destroyed. Essay 893 Topic 179 What are some of the qualities of a good parent? Parents play an important role in the child`s upbringing. However, it is not easy to be a good parent, much to the surprise of those who think dealing with young children is a piece of cake. In my view, to be a good parent you have to meet certain requirements that I am going to discuss further in the following paragraphs. You should spend time with your child. Please do not mistake me. By that I am not saying you must resign from your job and stay at home with your baby all day; instead, I am referring to quality time. To be a good parent you need to know your child well; if you do not even have the minimum amount of time to start with, how on earth are you going to know your child? No matter how busy you are, be you a businessman or a police officer, you must get some time off work to be with your child. Knowing how impressionable a child at his tender age is, you cannot expect him to feel close to someone he barely see everyday, much less play the role of a good parent. However, I am not talking about large amount of time that busy as you are, you may not be able to For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org afford. Remember, it is quality time, not quantity time. You can be a CEO and still be a good parent if you make good use of the limited amount of time you spend with your child. A small talk after dinner or a little story before bed may well perform the magic. In order to be a good parent, you also have to be strict; it is for the child`s own good. He may not like it of course, who will? However, it is from strict parent that a child learns discipline. Under certain circumstances I even agree with the use of force. A good beating or a severe scolding is far easier to remember for a little child than a patient persuasion. He is too young for you to reason with; but you can make him learn his lesson the hard way if the little sweet talk fails. Though I think the use of force is the last resort a parent should turn to, it is nonetheless rather effective. A good parent should be caring and loving. A strong bond is formed between the parent and the child if there is love. This is something magical and inexplicable but both the parent and the child feel it. What makes a parent so special and important is the unconditional love he/she gives to his/her child. A loving and caring environment is very crucial in a child`s growth. Statistics have shown that those from happy families have a more optimistic view of the world and generally live happy lives, while those from broken families or families where both parents quarrel often are more irritable and peevish. A child`s character is easily shaped by the surroundings so it is a parent`s responsibility to provide a loving environment to his/her child. A good parent should also be a good role model for the child to look up to. A child learns many of his habits from his parents and it is all up to a parent to choose what kind of habits he/she wants his/her child to inherit. For example, a parent should immediately quit smoking if he/she notices his/her child has the tendency to pick up this bad habit. All in all, a good parent should behave himself in order to set good examples to his child. To be a good parent is hard but not impossible; in fact I believe all those who really put in a great deal of effort should find themselves doing well in this job. After all what is more important is the attitude; if one wants to be a good parent, he can do it. Essay 894 Topic 179 What are some of the qualities of a good parent? Different parents have different methods to teach their own children. When faced with the decision of what some of the qualities of a good parent are, each person has his own opinion. From my point of view, I consider that consideration, encouragement, communication, and care are the qualities of a good parent. There are numerous reasons why I hold the above opinion, and I would explore only a few of the important ones here. The primary reason why I persist in the above opinion is that these qualities help parents and children to understand each other. For example, consideration is a key to good relationships between parents and their children. When parents stand at children`s point of view, it is easier for them to understand why children is behaving like that, and what they are thinking. This is will give parents a full understanding, and they will be able to find a suitable method to teach his children what to do correctly and how to do on such a For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org thing. By such consideration and communication, children, of course, can accept their parent`s advice. Meanwhile they can eliminate the so-called eneration gap? and the relationship between parents and their children is getting along very well. Another factor which should deserve some words is that these qualities can promote children to make progress. For instance, encouragement is an effective way for a parent to teach his children. When a child fails to do something, because of his limited knowledge and experience, if his parent can encourage the child to do it again and help the child analyze the reason why what he has done is wrong. Then the child can learn more knowledge and will try it again, and he will succeed in doing such a thing finally. What is more, these qualities help children grow up healthily. When parents take care of their children, children can feel family`s care and can stay at home very happy. This is very useful for children to grow up healthily. With these, children can form excellent character and be confident in doing things. In a word, to be a good parent is not an easy thing, but with parents` effort, each parent can do it very well. From what I have stated above, you may agree with my statement that consideration, encouragement, communication and care are the qualities of a good parent. Essay 895 Topic 179 a good parent Concerning criteria for good parents, different people at different periods of their life may provide totally different answers. So far as I am concerned, I believe at least three qualities are inseparable for a parent to be deemed as excellent. First and foremost, the parent should do what he(she) instructs. Many parents demand decent behavior from their children but do not restrain their own behavior. For instance, someone requires their children to be polite while they themselves always go into conflict with neighbors about trivial issues. Such self-defeating instructions often turn the children into opposition and make them irrespective of orders and disciplines from others in the future. A good parent is aware of the fact that actions are more persuasive than speeches and always follows the discipline they require his children to follow. Another important aspect of a good parent is that he should treat his child as an equal. Instead of regarding the child as a belonging, he parent admits that the child is an individual who has his or her own character and life destination. He do not suppose that the children are responsible for them and should follow their life course and direction. He does not impose his idea upon the children and sincerely welcome different voice from them. And when he find them wrong, he argue with them as an equal, rather than turn to some mere clich about respect for elders. Last but not least, a good parent helps the children when needed. The parent should first know when the children most need the support from their parents. In some occasions, the children are better to be left to make decisions themselves to be better prepared for their adult life. Yet in some crucial cases, parents should hold the helm for their children to avoid deleterious results of teenage passion. A supporting but not officious parent is an invaluable asset for a growing personality. All in all, though there are no definite For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org standards of a good parents, some preliminary requirement can be listed, those listed above among the rest. The principle is that he should be a respectable citizen first, then he must do his best to promote the best interest of his children. Essay 896 Topic 180 Why movies are so popular?

This would help to release his stress and he gains energy for the next days work. If the movie has offered him what he wanted, then would not mind watching and enjoying it once more. He will be discussing about the films with his colleagues and they would also go and watch the movie. This is how a movie becomes popular. This is from the customers or watchers viewpoint. If we look it from the makers point of view, we would be able to understand that a movie becoming popular has lots to do with his career. If he could make a true story which everyone appreciates then, he would become more confident and would try to do films that has substance in it.

Apart from that it presents a person a good mind set up within a limited period of time.

Movies also involve the audience in interesting adventures which people want to do but cannot. This industry not only satisfies people's curiosity but also carries out their dreams which do not happen in real life. Certainly, the remarkable point is the actors or actresses, most of whom are handsome or beautiful, having crazy fans to follow them, leading audiences into the movie theater because of their amazing performances. At least it is one of the reasons why I choose a film, in which my favorite performer plays. In addition, a soul character in a movie is the director, who decides how it should be made and performed. The executive control both quality and quantity in the movies. Because of their excellent performances, people are compelled to go to the theater.

The entertainment industry brings people both psychological and intellectual enjoyment; no wonder movies are so popular. Essay 899 Topic 181 Should lands be developed or left in their natural conditions? Nowadays more and more lands are replaced by industrial factories or houses. The number of sky scrapes is increasing rapidly and wild environment is ruined by human activities. Although no one can deny need for house and shelter, most of today`s building and forest destroying is because of selfishness of human being. In my country, Iran there is more need for land to be left its natural condition, because we need fresh air, natural environment and more than modern building or building new factories. I live in the most polluted city of the world, Tehran. Unfortunately, the number of population who migrate from country to Tehran is increasing daily, consequently demanding for house and food and job is increasing. The Empty lands are built for this huge number of population and also many factories are founded to create jobs. In fact we face a crowded city with many sky scrape and huge building which like monsters can be seen in the city. Furthermore, much forest has destroyed and many trees and plants have cut down just because of stupid behavior of human. No one pay attention to healthiness of people. Besides of house, people need fresh air and diseases are gifts of pollution. In my opinion, trees and forests are valuable nature for human and no one should destroy them easily and because of greed not need. At last but not least, I strongly believe that we are responsible for next generation. Many of the natural conditions back to thousands of years and we should care of them. Maybe because of human activities and house building they vanish forever. Next generation deserves fresh air, green and beautiful environment and pure water instead of smoke, gas and high buildings. These are the first rights of human being to be alive. . countries. We come to know the way of living of the people of a particular country.
