"Climate Change"

DESTRUCTION OF THE SCENIC MARVEL OF THE EARTH






"There are in nature neither rewards not punishments- there are consequences. Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.


   
Weather is blue skies and puffy white clouds, torrential rains with gale force wind twisters;

flashes of lightning; or snow gently falling to the ground. The weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time, it is experienced everywhere on earth, it varies considerably from place to place, day to day, and season   to season. The long term look at the weather in a place or region, the averaging of rainfall, the maximum and minimum temperatures is called climate. Climate in addition to the "averages" in the weather also   includes and frequencies of “extremes" in the weather. But the said climate is turned wild that is now Climate Change. Climate Change has long-since ceased to be a scientific curiosity, and is no longer just one of many environmental and regulatory concerns. It is a growing crisis with economic, health and safety, food production, security, and other      dimensions.   Climate change can be affected by natural factors, such as changes in volcanic activity, solar output, and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. In terms of the Earth’s energy balance, these factors primarily influence the amount of incoming energy. Volcanic eruptions are episodic and have relatively short-term effects on climate. Changes in solar radiance have contributed to climate trends over the past century but since the Industrial Revolution, the effect of additions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere has been about ten times that of changes in the Sun’s output. Climate change can also be caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and the conversion of land for forestry and agriculture. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, these human influences on the climate system have increased substantially. In addition to other environmental impacts, these activities change the land surface and emit various substances to the atmosphere. These in turn can influence both the amount of incoming energy and the amount of outgoing energy and can have both warming and cooling effects on the climate.  The dominant product of fossil fuel combustion is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The overall effect of human activities since the Industrial Revolution has been a warming effect, driven primarily by emissions of carbon dioxide and enhanced by emissions of other greenhouse gases.

"Outpouring our Hearts and Minds through Literacy and English Proficiency"

READ IS TO LEAD


"Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers."
Cesar Chavez

     Humanity's highly developed ability to communicate verbally is our essence. Without our tremendous vocabulary, we'd perhaps be not much better off than gorillas and monkeys. Language is taken for granted since it is a basic characteristic. But, it is, for all its universality, among the most powerful of human tools. language informs, persuades, queries, expresses emotions, allows transmission of complex ideas and data, and its usage is often artful, whether prosaic or in verse. For me, we known Language from the time we enter in school.

     In our present society, English used widely. It has become the most popular language of communication between countries and in many fields of human endeavor. So it is important that we learn to use our International Language English. As the National Readers Month celebration theme "Outpouring our Hearts and Minds through Literacy and English Proficiency" it says that we should give our best to achieve Literacy which means, allowing us to express our thoughts and to make sense. it is an essential aspect of our everyday lives, the ability to read and write and Proficiency means the state of expertness. In short to be such a clever person through the language English.
     The only effective way of improving our English language is to use it as often as possible. In school, the only time when English is used is during English lessons. That certainly is not enough. So wherever possible we should use it with friends and teachers who will or can speak with us. Reading books, magazines and newspapers are good ways of improving our language speaking. On the whole they are grammatically correct. we may speak incorrect English and get away with it. Not so with printed words, they have to be correct, Through reading, we learn how to use correct English in writing and speaking, though at times we speak the broken one that many of us do. Watching television and listening to the radio are two more ways improving our speaking. English as it is spoken by English, Americans, Malaysians, and others are distinctly different. So we just continue to use it, that is hear, read, speak and write. Some of us only hear and read it but I will not be like those. I will try, pour my best to love and achieve fluency in English Language.

Equal Rights Equal Oppurtunity




Dispassionate Virtuous and Chance

“An earthly kingdom exists without in equality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers and some subjects “

     All people are equal, it is not birth, it is virtue alone that makes difference – says the famous writer “Voltaire”. I am interrogating myself what is this “Equal Rights Equal Opportunity IS? According to my research EQUAL defines as the same in number, degree, quality or rank, while on the other hand  RIGHT defines as morally good and opportunities means a good chance for advancement and progress. In short this is a stipulation  that all people should be treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences except when particular distinction can be explicitly justified. It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it creating more jobs and new wealth for all of us.

    One example of Equal Right Equal Opportunity is the GENDER EQUALITY among women. At the olden times discrimination towards women or girls or what is known as gender based discrimination is one of the most persuasive human rights violations. It severely limits the ability of women and the communities they live to protect and promote their health, life and others.

    Gender based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for as women's. It's associated by poor health outcomes are often compounded by other forms of inequality related to socio - economic status ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While  these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in normalized way of  living, Women's Organizations renews commitments to denounce violation in human rights and to challenge unequal systems, structures and practices that perpetuate health inequalities across the world. Gender Equality starts the global equalization of rights and opportunities.


"The obstacles that stand in the way of better future for women are not primarily technical or medical in nature. They are also in social and political, and the two go together through the help of Equal Right Equal Opportunities  across the world."
