Water Pollution

Water Pollution Water pollutants may cause disease or act as poisons. Bacteria and parasites in poorly treated sewage may enter drinking water supplies and cause digestive problems such as cholera and diarrhea. Hazardous chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides from industries, farms, homes, and golf courses can cause acute toxicity and immediate death, or chronic toxicity that can lead to neurological problems or cancers. Many water pollutants enter our bodies when we use water for drinking and food preparation. The pollutants enter the digestive tract. From there, they can reach other organs in the body and cause various illnesses. Chemicals come in contact with the skin from washing clothes, or from swimming in polluted water and may lead to skin irritations. Hazardous chemicals in water systems can also affect the animals and plants which live there. Sometimes these organisms will survive with the chemicals in their systems, only to be eaten by humans who may then become mildly ill or...

Importance Of Education

Importance Of Education   Education is one of the most important aspects of a person’s life. It is necessary for success, but not only does it provide knowledge and skills to succeed in various fields, but it also helps us become more well-rounded individuals.  We gain valuable social skills, learn how to work with others, and develop discipline. What we may think will be easy as adults were not always the case when we were young and this can give students an idea of what they are getting themselves into after high school or college graduation.    For these reasons and many more, education should never be taken lightly as it has enormous effects on our lives both now and later down the road.

The Impact of the Internet on Society: A Global Perspective

Image
  The Impact of the Internet on Society: A Global Perspective: The Internet is the decisive technology of the Information Age, and with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now almost entirely connected, albeit with great levels of inequality in bandwidth, efficiency, and price. People, companies, and institutions feel the depth of this technological change, but the speed and scope of the transformation has triggered all manner of utopian and dystopian perceptions that, when examined closely through methodologically rigorous empirical research, turn out not to be accurate. For instance, media often report that intense use of the Internet increases the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence shows that the Internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it actually increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensity of family and friendship relationshi...

Global Warming

Global Warming Global warming or climate change has become a worldwide concern. It is gradually developing into an unprecedented environmental crisis evident in melting glaciers, changing weather patterns, rising sea levels, floods, cyclones, and droughts. Global warming implies an increase in the average temperature of the Earth due to the entrapment of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Global warming or climate change has today become a major threat to mankind. The Earth’s temperature is on the rise and there are various reasons for it such as greenhouse gases emanating from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, burning of fossil fuels, or deforestation. Impact of Greenhouse Gases The rise in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to a substantial increase in temperature. It is because CO2 remains concentrated in the atmosphere for even hundreds of years. Due to activities like fossil fuel combustion for electricity generation, transportation, and heating, human beings have con...

Which System of Government is best for Pakistan? Which form of a system of government suits Pakistan: A presidential system or a parliamentary system? The debate on forms of government in Pakistan is an old one. In this context, we have seen the presidential system as well as the parliamentary system in Pakistan. Historical data also suggests that at one point in time, Pakistan also adopted a hybrid system having characteristics of both these systems. What is the Parliamentary system of government? The Parliamentary system of government has its origin in Great Britain. Great Britain’s system of governance is also considered a standard for the parliamentary system. Any characteristics of the parliamentary system have their source in  Britain . But theoretically speaking, in a parliamentary system, the parliament is the ultimate source of power in political affairs. In other words, the parliament is the fountain of all powers. The rest of the institutions, especially the executive, w...
