ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

Smoking in public places is good?

Nowadays the issue about of the banned smoking in public place has generated a great dispute between the persons that are in agree and the persons that are in disagree with this. Place as restaurant, cafes, and parks, these are place where the persons need to be without influence of smokers. Some people agree strongly with banned of smoking in public place, they argue that this protects the society. Other disagrees, believing that the people are free to decide where smoking. This essay will examine the arguments for and against off that the government banning smoking in publics place.
Firstly, people argue that they should to be free for that they can to choose the place where smoking, because they believe that they are mature enough for can to know that’s things are bad and good. One of the biggest objections the government is that in Colombia exist a lot of place where in these cannot smoking for no apparent reason, because frequently in place as theaters, soccer stadium and shopping center the person cannot smoking. Opponents of the idea of banned smoking in public place feel that smoking don’t generate environment contamination, because studies has demonstrated that the cars generated more contamination that when a person’s smoking.
On the other hand, one good reason for banned smoking in public place is that children and young people don’t should to learn to smoking, yet that this habit is very danger for human healthy. Besides studies and Scientifics has demonstrated that smoking in public place affect all people that are around and this have consequences and damage serious in the society. Another point is that the government that is acting in defense of the public health of the people, because they are very worried for the last statistics where it show a high index killed by cigarette.
In conclusion, people are very strongly divided on the issue of banned smoking in public place. While some people have very valid reasons for objecting to banned smoking in public place , other believe firmly that the government should take care the human health banned smoking in public place. Personally, I feel that the banned smoking in public place is necessary because the government must look after the health of all.

Argumentative Essay

EFFECTS OF IMPORTANT INVENTIONS ON THE WORLD

There has always been a large controversy over the effects that to have the inventions in the humanity, whether these inventions have any influences and effects on our personality, this controversy is most often recognized as the effects negatives verses effects positives. Some people believe that while technology has had negative affects on the general public, it has also had many positive affects on society. Technology now provides advanced warnings about earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornados, hurricanes, flooding, and even knowledge of impending severe thunderstorms. However the technology has affected the way individuals communicate, learn, and think, because it helps define society and determines how one interacts with others on a daily basis. Based on the foregoing, it is the question that if the technology is for the Hunan be a help or a threat to life.

Although many inventions have helped us and made our lives easier they have also caused some problems. For example, with the invention of the car came problems such as air pollution. Besides the cities are becoming more and more congested with people using their cars even for short distances, is for this reason that the government is trying to make this better by making cars pass an emission control test. Another problem with cars is that hundreds of people die or get seriously injured each year. Other inventions that had effects negatives are disposable items have caused a big garbage problem. We use everything from disposable pens to disposable diapers. We can stop some of the garbage problem by recycling. Furthermore Air conditioners are using up allot of our electricity. There are times in the summer when brown outs happen because if our excessive use of the air conditioners. Freon gets released into our environment.

On the other hand, technology has automated many of the critical processes in the industry as well the household. The electronic gadgets that have entered the homes of the common man have saved him from the daily household work. The Internet has brought an important positive change to the entertainment and advertising industry. Advertisements can reach the masses within seconds over the Internet. The entertainment media has progressed only because of the advancements in technology. Satellite communication is another important dimension of technology. Satellite TVs and satellite radios have eased the broadcasting of events across the globe. Besides, machines have automated many of the crucial industrial processes. Machines are now taking up many of the mundane jobs that were once executed by human workers. Technology has evolved to an extent where machines can perform tasks that are physically inaccessible to man. The use of advanced technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence has proved helpful in life-risking tasks like mining and space exploration.

In conclusion, it is not technology that has a negative affect on society, but rather the way that it is used that has the negative affected in society. These advancements can be wonderful if they are used for the purposes of scientific developments in areas such as health, industry, food, etc.

THE FUTURE PANDEMIC AVIAN INFLUEZA (H5N1)

Nowadays the Avian Influenza (H5N1) is a virus that worries to the world. The Avian Influenza and their serious repercussions, as the occurrence of human influenza A (H5N1) in Southeast Asia has paralleled large outbreaks of avian influenza A (H5N1), although the avian epidemics in 2004 and 2005 have only rarely led to disease in humans. It is for the above-mentioned that scientific international community to study it and to control it, because, they affirm, it puts in risk the humanity’s future. Although International Organisms in all the countries are you trying of prevent and to eliminate the possible infection focuses.

One of the effects of Avian Influenza (H5N1) that causes greatest concern on a global is the the easy propagation the virus, because it circulate from all over the world among the birds, It is very contagious among the birds and it can be mortal for them, especially for domesticated birds as the chickens. Besides the infected birds loose the virus in the saliva, the nasal secretions and the excrements, it for this reason that the scientific believed that most of the cases of infection of the H5N1 in humans have been caused by the contact with infected corral birds or with polluted surfaces. The second effect is the economic consequences that can be especially serious in countries in development where the increase of the corral birds supposes an important source of revenues and of foods for the impoverished rural farmers and their families.

On the other hand, the AVIAN INFLUEZA (H5N1) is having a significant effect on the situation faced by individual countries which is characterized by both urgency and uncertainty. Warnings that a pandemic may occur have come from both changes in the epidemiology of the disease in human and animal populations and the expanding geographical spread of the virus that creates ever-widening opportunities for human exposure. Neither the timing nor the severity of the next pandemic can be predicted but with the virus now endemic in bird populations the risk will not be easily diminished.

All in all, even though the problem of Avian Influeza (H5N1) may seem impossible to eliminate, but if the world maintains their project of create a vaccine, this will reduce the great number of deaths in the world and contributing this way to the salvation of the planet, avoiding a pandemic and eliminate its lethal effects

The Global Warming, “the problem of the future”

Nowadays the global warming is a phenomenon worries to the world. The global warming and their direct effect, the climatic change is a topic that occupies good part of the efforts of the scientific international community to study it and to control it, because, they affirm, it puts in risk the humanity's future. Although International Organisms in all the countries are trying of minimizing the effects of the global warming by means of laws and incentives for the industries.
One of the effects of global warming that causes greatest concern on a global is the change climatic, that in the last years it has been evident. The increase of the temperature of the Earth is due to the use of fossil fuels and to other industrial processes that take to an accumulation of gases hothouse (dioxide of carbon, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorfluorocarbons) in the atmosphere. Also, this increment in the levels of dioxide of carbon at the moment this provoking the increase of the global temperature, what originates climatic important changes with serious implications for the agricultural productivity. The second effect is on the changes in the planet as changes in the sea level, decrease of the covered with ice and snow and increase of the half temperature of the oceans, which produce floods, forest fires, other disasters.
On the other hand, the Global warming is having a significant effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, although the most dramatic effects may not be felt for decades, according to a new study in the journal Nature. For example the birds are laying eggs earlier than usual, plants are flowering earlier and mammals are breaking hibernation sooner. Clearly, if such ecological changes are now being detected when the globe has warmed by an estimated average of only 1 degree F (0.6 C) over the past 100 years, then many more far-reaching effects on species and ecosystems will probably occur by 2100, when temperatures could increase as much as 11 F (6 ºC).
All in All, even though the problem of global warming may seem impossible to eliminate, but If the industrialized nations maintain their project of prohibiting the use of all the CFCs, it is expected that the atmospheric levels arrive to their maximum point around century end and disappear completely in eighty years, contributing this way to the salvation of the planet. and the effect of reducing its effects

EFFECTS OF WATCHING TOO MUCH TV

Discoveries and invention of devices are always welcome till we, humans, find a way to abuse its benefits and be adversely affected by it. This was the case when Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-ray and within five years, the British Army was using a mobile x-ray unit to locate bullets and shrapnel in wounded soldiers in the Sudan. TV was also invented with positive thoughts in mind – there would be no national borders, education and communication would be worldwide, etc. However, we are now trying to overcome its physiological and psychological adverse effects on human beings.

One of the physiological effects of watching TV in excessive amounts is eye-strain. It is true that there are specifications for watching TV; TV should be 5 m. away from the eye, the room should be adequately lit, TV should be placed at the same height with our eyes, etc. However, these do not prevent our eyes from getting tired if we keep watching TV for a long time. Another effect is obesity, which is widely observed in people who like watching TV and eating snacks everyday (there is even a term “TV snacks” to refer to fast food that is suitable for eating in front of the TV). TV is such a powerful machine that people cannot get away from it – it is addictive.

Apart from the physiological effects, TV also causes psychological effects. One is a result of being exposed to violence. After seeing so many violent scenes on TV, people start considering violent actions normal and they lose their sensitivity to their environment. Partly connected to this effect, the interpersonal communication among people decreases. Being insensitive to the suffering of other people causes people to become alienated. Also, after coming home from work people seek to relax in front of the TV, and generally people prefer watching TV to talking to each other. This issue is very important since lack of interpersonal relationships mostly end with divorces.

Shortly, inventions are meant to be beneficial for human beings, if we know how to benefit from them. TV is one of such inventions that need to be used for the right purpose only – being educated and entertained for a reasonable (according to age) period of time. We may, then, be safe from or at least reduce the adverse physiological and psychological effects of watching too much TV.
