Should the animals be used for scientific research? Is it humanly
A new argument has been occured recently between the people who supports the idea of the necessity of using animal for science and those who do not. Although there are some practices that are not ethical, in fact it is effective and neccessary to use animal for scientific works.
Supporters of the necessity of using animal for science think that they should be used for the benefit of science development. They say that everything can be used if it is for the sake of human health and human life. But it does't mean that we should kill animals whenever we want. It means that if it is significantly beneficial to human kind, it can be killed. For example it is wrong to use or exploite annimals for unnecessary luxuries such as for making fur. But it is acceptable to use them in school projects, for teaching resources, interesting and helpful information for scientists etc.
As Aristotle held the view that nature is a hierarchy in which those with less reasoning ability exist for the sake of those with more reasoning ability. For instance animal using is important in understanding diseases and developing new ways to prevent them.
All in all, it is wrong to kill animals for unnecessary things, but there is an inevitable truth that if something is beneficial to science or human kind it can be used without thinking.
(Aristotle held the view that nature is a hierarchy in which those with less reasoning ability exist for the sake of those with more reasoning ability (Animal Liberation p189). )

Second Life
In those days, technology gains so much importance in our lives that we can use it for several aims. Second Life, which is a kind of internet games, is also used for diffrent aims by different people such as having fun, business and education.
Firstly, most of the people to whom we asked why they use this game said that they play this game only for having fun. They can meet many interesting people in this game and can be friends. It is an amusing game that people can do several things like creating their own island and group of friends. They can change their appearance and cloths according to thier preference.
Secondly, people choose this game for business. They use Second Life for introducing their products or their companies. In this game, there can be things like bill-boards and people can use them to present their products to many people in the game. They find this technique very useful and practical.
Thirdly, very few people choose this game for educational purposes. Teachers can create their own islands with their students and they can discuss a topic related to thier subject there in order to improve themselves and reach logical information. Although it is not very common among students, it can be useful and beneficial if they know how to use it and how to discuss there effectively.
Consequently, Second Life is chosen and used by many people for different intentions. As it is a blessing of technology, people take advantage of this game for one aim or another.

In recent years, the importance of internet has apparently increased. Even though internet has many negative effects such as making people unsociable, wasting time and bad effects in private life, in fact it is very significant in our life in terms of making our lives easier, getting information faster and companies improving services.

At the same time, some people think that internet has more harm than good. Firstly, they think that it is a kind of wasting time. As people spend much time in front of the computer by surfing in unnecessary sites and can't understand how time passed so quickly, it becomes a waste of time. Secondly, they suppose that internet makes people unsociable. By using it so much time, people get uninterested in their environment. According to them, it causes people to become far from each other. So it is a big disadvantage for social life.

Technology In Education
Nowadays the significance of technology is increasing, and we have to use technological materials whether we like it or not. If I had to abide by a decision between traditional and technological methods, I probably choose the technological one. Because it is servicable and suitable in education.
There are a few similarities between technological and traditional methods. For instance, in both of them, there must be a theaher or instructor who directs the class. Without an instructor, it is amost impossible to learn effectively.
Beside a few similaritiees there are many differences in these methods. Firstly, we can reach more information via internet, and we can do this quicker than using traditional materials. Secondly, we can turno ut the teaching process more amusing and interesting by using slide shows, watching videos that are related to the subject. So it becomeseasier to memorize for students what is learned. However in a traditional class, the relationship between students and teachers are are much more stronger than technological one. It is important to like and enjoy the lesson for students. Because when they like, their interest sterts to increase. But in a technological class, it is much weaker.
In education, the significant thing is ‘’able to teach and learn’’ whatever the conditions are. If you mange this, the methods you use have no importance. But when we look at the advantages and the disadvantages of of traditional and technological methods, we see that teaching via technological materials is much more logical and preferable..

A Nice Visit
If I had a chance to visiy a foreign country for two weeks, I would probably choose Indian. Because it has many historical buildings, palaces, architectural masterpieces which are worthseeing.
First of all,the most magnificent and recognisable building of Indian -according to me- is Taj Mahal. I have always wanted to see this mausoleum due to its wonderful architecture,view with the lake which is near it. And one of the causes that I want to visit there is not only romantic but also tragic story. The king Shah Jahan had Taj Mahal built upon the death of his wife,Mumtaz Mahal. She died when she was birthing her 14th child. As a result of this event, Shah Jahan became too upset and had the Taj Mahal built. After years,this masterpiece would be one of the eight wonders of the world.
Secondly, I would want to see the snake charmers with their cobras performing in streets. Moreover once upon a time, I have heard that in India, there is a villge. In this village,each family has around 10 snakes and their childen play with these snakes instead of toys.This is very very interesting!
Different people want to see different places and countries. I always want to see Indian.I hope one day I will have a chance and see these places. It would be so amusing and wonderful..
