The 21st century has begun. What changes do you think this new century
will bring?
Man, through the ages, has
undergone many changes from the time when he depicted a herd of mammoths on the
walls of his cave to these days when he can create beautiful pictures and even
make coffee by use of computer technologies without leaving his favorite chair.
The 20th century made huge steps in developing computer technologies and
reached many goals that made our life much easier. What should we expect in the
21st century?
First of all, I think that the
pace of our life will speed up: we will move faster from one place to another,
from one continent to another using high speed jet airplanes. Second of all, I
believe that we will be able to do many things that take much time now without
leaving our house. Computers will be everywhere including out clothes. Many
people will have chips and mini computers inserted in their heads to hold huge
amount of information and have a quick access to it.
But what will be the most amazing
thing in the 21st century is the flights to the outer space and Mars that will
be available to all people. Scientists say that Mars has many things similar to
the Earth's. Moreover, they say that with the help of modern technology people
can artificially create conditions that will allow people to live there on the
constant basis.
To sum up, I am sure that many
amazing changes will be brought by the 21st century. Furthermore, I think that
with the help of the contemporary technologies people can do many things that
were even difficult to imagine a century ago. So, nowadays it is rather
difficult and even impossible to imagine all changes that will happen in the
next decades.
People should
read only those books that are about real events, real people, and established
facts.
Some people think that fiction
books have no use at all. They claim that people should read about real events
that took place, real people, and established facts. I have to totally disagree
with this statement. From my everyday experience and observation I can stand
that fiction, miracles and fairy tails are required in our life. For several
reasons, which I will mention below, I believe that fiction books play an
essential role in our life.
First of all, it is kind of
difficult to imagine a six year old child reading about politics or history
with the real facts that are not always pleasant. I think that children need
miracles and Santa Claus because the real world is too complicated for them.
They are too innocent and inexperienced to know the real facts and understand
what is a real life about. In addition, I am sure that making a child read only
non-fiction books can result in shock. In addition to these benefits,
Second of all, following this
statement about refusing from reading books about fiction events we also should
refuse from festivals, parades, and celebration such holidays as Halloween
because most of the characters there are fictional. Moreover, comic books will
disappear as well as animated films and fiction movies. The disadvantage of
non-fiction lies in the facts that nothing happens to excite the mind and
spirit. From the other side, fiction provides a great slope for a mind to think
creatively.
In conclusion, I think that
people need miracles. We can not be satisfied with only naked truth. Human kind
must believe in something and this believe helps people break limits and make
new inventions.
Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other
dangerous activities?
Nowadays many people attracted to
dangerous sports and other dangerous activities. From my everyday experience
and observation, I think it is a result of dramatic changes in people's life.
Just imagine at old times men had
to hunt for food, fight, face many challenges and obstacles. Now our days are
quite ordinary with a cup of coffee, donut, computer, desk table and TV.
Basically, we do not have to straggle every day for our life and we have
nutritious meal without any efforts. So, all we have to do is to contemplate
out life. However, I must confess it can be boring. All improvements created
for the past centuries made our life easier. Nowadays people look for
adventure. They want to face a challenge, prove themselves something, conquer
the world, etc.
Personally, I think that every
person sees different goals in doing dangerous activities. Some people want to
add some stress and tension to their lives. From the other side, other people
want to eliminate stress and tension gained from their everyday lives. They can
forget about all troubles and leave them behind. I believe that dangerous
activities give one freedom, happiness, feeling of independence and tone.
To sum up, I think that dangerous
sports and activities are irreplaceable in our life. Without them out life
would be miserable and boring.
Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable
information. Others think access to so much information creates problems.
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.
Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry
are more important than saving land for endangered animals.
As human population is
significantly rising every year, people's requirements are increasing too. We
need more food, more machines, more place to live. As a result of this people
need more land to satisfy their requirements. We cultivate and irrigate more
and more land to plant vegetables, build new buildings, airports, roads, etc. I
think sometimes we forget that we are not alone on this planet. I have to
disagree with those people who think that human needs are more important than
saving land for endangered animals. I base my opinion on the following points.
First of all, as I already
mentioned, we are not alone on this planet. A few centuries ago we were the
part of wild nature. I think we need to remember this fact and respect all
creatures around us.
Second of all, I believe that we
all need to think of the problem of overpopulation. The human population is
dramatically increasing and we have to do something about it. From my opinion,
every family should have no more than two children. It will help to stop the
growth of population, decrease human needs for farmland, housing and industry.
In conclusion, I think it is a
very topical question nowadays. My point is that all people should answer this
question and find the solution.
