Wildlife conservation takes a lot out of governments: some think it is worth it, while others do not think so.

What could be their respective arguments supporting their stances?

The world over, expenditure on wildlife conservation is on the rise. Though very much needed, there are people support and oppose this spending. Obviously, they will have their arguments. Let me see what they are.

The advocates of wildlife protection may argue that this spending is nothing short of investing on green cover upkeep. For example, the forest cover with which the Planet breathes in is but the result of the funds allocated for wildlife protection. Besides, they may hold the view that human life is just one of the links of the chain of lives on the Planet, and one without the other will upset the balance. Above all, there could be a claim that wildlife is a huge source of income for many. For example, many African economies fall back on their income from wildlife to keep themselves fed and going.

Let me see the possible counter arguments. It might be argued that the world, especially the poor parts, has many other pressing priorities like food, shelter, medicine, education and the like, and so spending on these is more worth it than anything else. They may even hold the notion that human life is the most precious life on the Planet. Finally, there may be another plank that modern science and the heightened possibilities of technology may take care of the those issues the dwindling wildlife may raise. 

In short, both the schools may have many other arguments supporting and opposing the need for spending on the wild. But I, for one, am of the opinion that earmarking great funds for wildlife conservation is like investing in environment, ecology and existence.

Task II

Poor nations with huge wildlife population are forced spend sizeable amounts on wild life protection. But the benefits of which in terms of environment and ecology are being shared by the rich as well.

How far do you agree or disagree with the view that the rich must help the poor maintain wildlife?

1.         Since the world population experiences longer life expectancy, many governments find it difficult to manage the aged. Some say going back to joint family set up will be of some help whereas there is another view that nuclear families themselves must take care of this population segment.

Which idea seems more feasible to you?


2.         Population ageing is a strength in one way and big a challenge in some other ways.

How are these propositions experienced in your place? 


Many poor nations have great scope and need for promoting farm sector. But many do not seem to be doing much for it. But the rich - that are able to source farm products from elsewhere - are taking their farm produce to other parts of the world.

  • How is disparity going to influence the economy of the rich and poor nations?




With the employment environs getting diversified and embellished every passing day, many private sector employees find it alright not to attach any loyalty to their employers or their organizations. Some say there is nothing to worry about this development, whereas there are others who take it the other way round.

Take up a discussion on these two views.



It is argued that governments have an obligation towards those creative artistes, who, compared to other professionals, live a life of penury. Some say such artistes need to be given financial support in the form of subsides and allowances whereas some others say they be given employment in the government sector.

Which idea in your opinion is likely to win the favaours of impoverished artists?

Governments do have an obligation towards those artists who unfortunately happen to live life in abject misery. In this respect, there are two suggestions: either to give them financial aids or offer them jobs. Let me see how these two are going to be seen by this creative segment.

To me it looks like they are not going to be comfortable with jobs. The primary thing is that these people have strange approaches to time and its constraints. Additionally, I find it right to say that creative people may not be happy with the type of job they are given, if ever they accept a job at all.  For instance, a person who is blessed with writing poetry or with paint and brush will find it worst to work as a clerk or any other desk-side staff. They want to be free from the confines of time.

Financial aids, on the other hand, let it be any form, say monthly allowance, subsidized supplies or free travel tickets, would make them comfortable. First thing is, if the aid given is regular, decent and is liable to get appreciated time to time, certainly creative people will be able to breathe easy when it comes to the pressures of life. For example, free travel tickets will give them freedom of movement, subsidized supplies will keep their kitchens happening, and a monthly aid would give them a sense of financial independence. In short, they will be freer so that their creativity will find new highs.

In short, it is made clear that financial aids to artists will enjoy greater favours than government jobs. In my opinion, helping them in any way is like investing in creativity and culture. It pays a lot more than we expect.

Model
A glance at four indicators of economic and social conditions in four countries, Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire, in 1994 reflects the great differences that exist between wealthier and poorer nations.

The table shows that Japan and Canada had annual incomes of $15 760 and $11 100 per person, respectively. These figures were overwhelmingly greater than the corresponding figures of $160 in Peru and $130 in Zaire.

Health indicators, too, reflected overall levels of affluence in the four nations. Life expectancy at birth, for example, was higher among the more economically developed countries. Japan reported the highest life expectancy, 78. This was followed by Canada, 76; Peru, 51; and Zaire, 47; This suggests that richer societies are able to put more money into health care than poorer ones.

The amount of calories consumed daily per person roughly followed the same ranking. Canadians each consumed some 3 326 calories per day while the Japanese took 2846 calories. The corresponding figures for Peru and Zaire were 1927 and 1749, respectively.

Literacy rates among adults, too, were higher in wealthier countries, no doubt a reflection of ability to invest in education. Canada and Japan both reported literacy rates of 99%, while Peru claimed 68%. Zaire, the least economically developed of the four countries, had a literacy rate of 34%.

The data appear to confirm the often cited link between national wealth and health and education standards.

Model
Differences in sleep patterns appear to reflect differences in individuals' occupations.

A Canadian study has pointed out, for example, that students typically sleep for a consecutive 8-hour period each night, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. This may be because the central activity in their lives, study, takes place in normal daylight hours. Similarly, business executives sleep consecutive hours, but perhaps because their jobs are especially busy and stressful they sleep for 6 hours on average, getting up around 5 a.m..

By contrast, truck drivers, probably because of their need to keep their trucks on the road over long periods, tend to sleep in two 3-hour blocks: one between 7 and 10 a.m. and another from 4 to 7 p.m. Another occupation associated with broken sleep schedules is that of doctors. They tend to retire to bed around 1 a.m. and start their day at 7 a.m.., but may be woken up to deal with emergencies in the middle of the night. Finally, full-time mothers, especially those with young children, tend to sleep when their babies do. Typically, they will sleep from 10 p.m. and be awoken at 1 a.m. to comfort their babies for a couple of hours. They then go back to bed to wake at 6 a.m., but nap for two hours or so in the early afternoon.

Thus the influence on one's sleep pattern is worthy of consideration when choosing an occupation.

8 Spelling Mistakes Even Smart People Make: it's a downloaded material.


English is a screwy language. There’s just no logic to it. Why is daughter pronounced daw-ter, but laughter not law-ter? How can though, through, and tough look so similar and yet sound so different? Why does I come before E except after C? What’s so effing SPECIAL about C?
This is the reason that people who speak more sensible languages approach English with stumbling trepidation. English is insane. It has the capacity to confuse even the smartest of its native speakers—including scientists, engineers, and company presidents—especially when it has to be put down on paper.
This I know from experience. As a copywriter, a large part of my job is to translate pages upon pages of “writing written by non-writers” into copy that is short, persuasive, easy-to-read, and yes—perfectly spelt and grammatically (or at least colloquially) correct.
Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen.
For the most part, each person is unique in terms of writing disability (myself included). But there are some crimes of confusion—particularly when it comes to spelling—that I come across on an almost daily basis. And like overstaying guests, they’ve begun to grate on my nerves, becoming more and more unforgivable with each unwelcome appearance. Such as:
1. YOU’RE and YOUR

If you have no idea when to use which … well, you’re not on your own. This is perhaps the most common mistake of all. Heaven knows why. The distinction is really quite simple:
• You’re is used to substitute the words you are.
• Your is a word you use when referring to something that belongs to the person you’re speaking to. “Your purse,” “your coat,” and so on—and not “Your late!” or “Your wrong!”
2. IT’S and ITS
Close cousins of you’re and your, it’s and its suffer about the same amount of misuse.
• It’s (with an apostrophe) replaces It is or It has. (It’s easy to remember!)
• Its (with no apostrophe) refers to something that belongs to “it.” (Its meaning is clear!)  

3. THEY’RE, THEIR, and THERE
Ah, the triple treat … or terror, as the case may be:
• They’re is short for They are.
• Their refers to something that belongs to “them.”
• And there is simply “not here.” 
“They’re going to their house, which is over there.”
4. TO and TOO

When you mean overly, please remember to add the extra O—or face the consequences. I once received a heated text message that was meant to make me angry: “TO BAD!” it shouted in loud, aggressive capitals. I ended up in uncontrollable giggles instead. Too bad indeed.
5. LOOSE and LOSE

This one really drives me batty. And when I lose my mind, I often let loose a string of expletives. When what you want to say is the opposite of find, then lose the extra O. Loose (with two o’s) is the opposite of tight.
Like I said, these little confusions are pretty common. They don’t actually bother me half as much as the non-words I often find littering notes, emails … even official business memos. Words like:
6. IRREGARDLESS
Hundreds of people use this word (often with passion!), both in speech and writing, every day—but the truth is, it doesn’t exist! The real word is regardless.
7. ALOT
Anyone who insists this is a word is spouting ALOT of baloney. If you’ve ever written this non-word, what you probably meant was either a lot (meaning “many”) or allot (to ration or allocate).
8. AHOLD
Boy, would I love to get a hold (two words, not one) of the person who decided to just forget the space and make up “ahold new word.”
Guilty? Don’t sweat it. Its nothing to loose sleep over. Your not to bad. Their are alot of people in the same boat, irregardless of what you may think. Just get ahold of you’reself, take a few mental notes, and move on from here.
Please?



Laws, in some people’s opinion, need to be reformulated according to the needs of the times. This view is countered by another view that laws, once formulated and enacted, should be kept in tact all through.

  • What could be the arguments behind these two opposing views on laws?


Ajaypeesdoc. 6.1.13
Newer laws are very much part of human development. Therefore, older laws must give way to newer ones.

  • To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?


Formulating new laws is a matter of great deliberations. So it is enough to consult legal experts when a new law is framed. But some people view that laws are for people and, therefore, people have to have a say on all upcoming laws?

  • Discuss both the views and express your view on new laws.
