VEGANISM

Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind. The most popular reasons for becoming a vegan are concerns for animal rights, the environment, or human health, and spiritual or religious concerns. Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.

Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2% and 1.3% of the U.S. population, and between 0.25% and 0.4% of the UK population. Vegetarian diets, which are similar to vegan diets, have been credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer, heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stroke. Because a poorly managed vegan diet can lead to reduced levels of calcium, iodine, and vitamins B12 and D, vegans are encouraged to take dietary supplements.

Even dairy products like milk and cheese does not comes in the vegan’s lifestyle because the milk we get it is taken away from the baby of cow. Moreover milk is sucked out from the cow through the sucking tubes sucks out there peak and some blood which is due to the constantly use of those tubes for milk that creates injuries and when these cows lose there ability to give milk then these cows sent to the slaughterhouses for the beef. Even honey does not come in the vegans’ lifestyle.

Now the only question comes in mind why people eat meat? The most common answer among all was it tastes good. So is it smart move to kill someone just it tastes good? 

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

Alexander was an ancient Greek King of the Macedon. He was one of the most successful military commanders in history, and was undefeated in battle. By his death, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks. Alexander was perhaps one of the greatest Kings born till now. He had strong and clear aim in his life to conquer the whole world. Not only was he a strong King he was also a great person as he was well educated by the famous Greek Aristotle. He proved himself to be a king hearted yet strong King of that time, so that was the reason he was able to win both lands as well as the hearts of the regions he raided. He was kind to the families of his enemies and took proper care that they are not insulted and are dealt in the same manner as they used to be before his rule. He was brave and fought many battles leading his armies so his army had full confidence in him and they were ready to lay down their lives for him.

     Alexander had a strange thing struck in his mind that he had to conquer the whole world and earn both name and fame so that this world remembers him long after he is gone. He is raised in a bit different environment than other rulers were. He was filled with all kinds of hatred and doubts in his mind and sometimes he felt helpless and could not decide the right and the wrong all by himself. Still he managed to be educated by the Greek legend, Aristotle, which helped his thinking to become great. Considering myself in Alexander’s shoes I would have never gone for such a race for conquering the world. Instead if I was so smart I would have paid attention in my own region as to how I can make my area grow more rich and peaceful. I would have encouraged practices like trading and other forms in order to avoid such brutal battles and killing lives of plenty of soldiers. His dream was a bit strange to me and in no ways I would have believed in such a dream. Another thing was that in his whole life he was never shown confident enough as far as his family was brought in picture. So may be this could have been the case that he never wanted to stay close to his homeland and was traveling far and far. But by doing so he was conquering whatever was coming his way.

Sitting in Alexander the Great’s shoes I would have taken full advantage of the study that I would have studied from Aristotle. In the early conquests he made friends in the regions he raided. But that was of no use as his own men started hating him and revolting him which was also a cause of the breakdown of the Alexander. Leaving aside all odds I admit that he was the best rulers of all times as it was at that time a culture to fight for the nation’s pride and hardly anyone would have believed in the peace things. So altogether he was a ruler with an exceptionally tender heart and sharp brains.

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world.  Global warming makes the sea rise. Global warming affects weather and weather patterns around the world. Increase in the rate of melting of the world’s glaciers is evidence of global warming. Melting glaciers lead to an increasing number of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions and due to the rising air and water temperatures worldwide are creating more frequent and severe hurricanes. Variation in climate and changes affect plants and animals in a number of ways, population sizes, and even physical structure, metabolism, and behavior. Continuing increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases mainly associated with human activities. The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid rain.  Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it touches.  Global warming is also causing many more fires that wipe out whole forests.  This happens because global warming can make the earth very hot.  In forests, some plants and trees leaves can be so dry that they catch on fire.

United States has been affected by Global Warming. Global Warming has caused the weather around the United States to change drastically. The summers are becoming shorter and hotter and the winters are becoming longer and hotter. This phenomenon has stunted the growth of crops. Some crops are not recovering from being covered with snow in the winter. Global Warming is causing a domino effect everywhere. The weather is bad, which is causing crops to stop growing and that ultimately is bad, because that mean families aren’t making money.

            Before the Europeans arrived the soil was rich and fertile. Animals were able to live and graze on the rich grassland. Global Warming has been affecting the United States since the 1800’s. The same events that happened with the early inhabitants and Global Warming are happening now in the United States. The area will turn into less agricultural land, because of Global Warming.  As I stated above, Global Warming will affect the land we live and grow on. I believe that if the weather keep changing and crops aren’t being produced, the economy may go down. It may go down, because farm workers will loose out on money.

 

preliminary research report

My discourse will be about my role as a student. I think being a student can be the most exhilarating time in your life. New friends, new places, new challenges can all add you to a huge buzz. I choose to write about my discourse as a student because in student’s life there are many phases such as success, failure and most important is stress. There are many worries in student’s life such as financial worries, exam pressure, burden of homework and so on. When I was a child I use to be in stress while going to school. My parents use to ask me what stress? Everything is provided to you. You have got food, shelter, clothes and schooling: I use to think then, what if I don’t get my homework done? What if it is too hard? What if I fail? What if I am dumb? My discourse will try to capture the true picture of student’s life.
The primary text for this assignment is Marjorie Savage’s “you are on your own”. This text is interesting and not too difficult to describe. This text is inspirational book that can answer you many questions and can help you to motivate in some ways. The author empathizes with college students as well as with their parents. Kids who are starting college can do some pretty bizarre things that parents can’t always understand. This book explains things from the parent’s point of view as well as the students. This text reflects the state of mind of the college going student and their parents. If you are a college going student in case you are in trouble gives an idea what to do next.
My resources to write my discourse will be through my research. My resources include some of the magazines, media that I will talk about the different aspects of a student.
