I say NO to school uniforms!!

No to school uniform in schools! I am a student myself we do not have school uniforms, and that I am happy for. I could never imagine putting on a uniform before school everyday. It would be so dull. You want to be special. You want to feel like you belong somewhere. If you dress in a certain way and someone else does too then you feel like you have a connection with that person. If you wear a school uniform though, then you do not get an as strong impression of someone.                       The teenage years are a sensitive age. Those are the years when you get to know yourself. You try out new things and different styles until you find that which suits you the best. But if you do not get the time to do that, what happens then? If everyone always wore the same things you do, it would not work out. You express yourself through the clothes you wear and if you do not get the abil...

The tobacco industry

The tobacco industry The tobacco industry is probably one of the most counterproductive industries on earth and there are tons of studies and researches that proves it. To find something positively associated with the tobacco industry is comparable to something like time travelling, both things are impossible to achieve. I believe that it would would only be advantageous to prohibit the production of tobacco. The tobacco industry is a way to big industry as to ban it right away. But Rome wasn't built in a day, as they say. It would require a lot of work, but humanity has surprised us before. People who smoke are enjoying to smoke and they are feeling good also. You can also get calm. Smoking Kills. Cigarette smoking contributes to more than 480 thousand deaths every year in just the U.S and that's almost 1,5% of the population. And thats when we not include the the second hand smokers, people that passively inhale tobacco smoke while they are not smoking. Recent resea...
Ideals of Beauty What is the first thing we think about when we hear ideals of beauty? It isn't strange if we think about super skinny girls or athletic muscular boys. These are some of the main ideals of beauty in our society today, unfortunately more and more youths suffer from long depressions and anxiety. Also things as diseases and anorexia becomes more common which isn't a good thing for our society. The big question is why would a person risk their own health and welfare to achieve the ideals of beauty? I think that the main cause for this is the stupid media and fashion industry. Our lives today is all about media and fashion that sends signals to us about how we should look, how we should eat and how we should be to fit in the norm that they have "created". The young ones are the ones who gets the most affected by this because we are all trying to figure out what and who we are as persons. When someone with such bin influence as media tells us ho...

Argumentative Essay - Structure

Argumentative Essay - Structure The term “Technostress” is something that I have been hearing very often recently. My parents are always complaining that I should get off my phone and have a normal conversation with them instead. It was my father who first introduced me to this very interesting word. He had seen a documentary with a very similar theme as the one for this assignment. I have to be honest and say that I find this assignment very interesting since it relates to the society that we currently live in. I personally believe that this 24/7 society is not good for us. I definitely think that there are some positive effects of it as well, but unfortunately the negative effects outweigh them. One thing that especially bothers me is that people seem to never put down their phones, including myself. For example, when I walk up the stairs to our classroom, the only thing I see is people staring down at their phones instead of having an actual conversation as before. This is ...
