Abstract

The topic of this paper is limiting internet access. I discuss the fact that the internet has many problems that won’t accrue if we limit the access to the internet. The first problem is companies’ losses, because the internet is used by employees, and the second is waste of time because of long hours that people spend surfing the internet. The third problem is the misuse and the crimes that are committed by some people who surf the internet.

YOUTUBE

It is one of the most popular video sites in the internet. Usually I spend three to four hours watching different videos from all over the world. It has interesting videos and once you watch one video you want to watch another one. Homemade and comedy videos are the ones that i like to watch. It is really nice and funny too and some videos also catch the feeling specially if it talks about personal problems. In addition, shocking videos are there too but I don't recommend that any one to watch them because those videos are videotaped and it is without any image controlling

CARBONDALE AREA

Carbondale is one of the best places i have visited. It is really small but at the same time it is full of life. when I drive around Carbondale I enjoy the views of the nature that human beings were less likely to be involved in. Tress are everywhere; also lakes and parks are huge enough to attract anyone's attention. Bahrain is a nice place to visit, but it is like any other big city, full of cars, air pollution, human-made parks and so on. If you wake up in the morning in Bahrain you smell the air mixed with pollution, which is totally different from Carbondale where there is fresh air only, so that you will miss a lot if you do not wake up in the early morning in Carbondale.

CESL

CESL is one of the most successful programs around the country. I have been at CESL more than one year and half. I enjoyed every single day at it. I learned a lot from CESL, not only educational stuff but also social things too. In my case, what I want to advise our awesome CESL to do is to give students some SIU classes while they are in CESL, because most students are shocked when they get to university for the first time. Also, it is great thing for breaking down barriers between CESL students and American students. In addition, some students have the abilities to speak English, but because of the lack of pronunciation classes they pronounce most of the words wrongly. Moreover, if CESL organizes its social life programs with SIU programs, like arranging for visiting different places, this kind of program will help students to interact with other students and improve their language. Also, there is a very important thing that CESL should provide, which is a " psychiatrist" at the CESL. Most of the CESL students suffer almost from the same symptoms, homesickness and loneliness and that might affect their studying progress. Thus following up students on studying as well as personal matters might help to parallel their college life.

carbondale

The first thing comes to my mind at the first time I got to carbondale was "this in not America". It does not look like the movies that I used to see. It is small with no big buildings. On my way to U.S I thought that I would see many celebrities everywhere, even in Carbondale. It was like a sweet dream, but everything changed. I really like Carbondale as it is. I can feel the happiness and the quietness. People in Carbondale are not like the poeple in the cities, poeple here are very kind and friendly. I really came from a big city with skyscrapers and thousands of cars and people and that's what makes Carbondale really special to me.

FOOD IN US

Usually food in the first thing that people like to know about if they go somewhere in this world. American people like to taste the Asian food. Arabic people like to find out how the western food is. Whoever, food is food, but what makes it different are the spices that people use in their food or the way that the food is cooked. In Bahrain we like seafood, but the way we cook our seafood is totally different from what they do in the Far East. Moreover, in Bahrain we like all kinds of spices. We inherited our experience in how and when to use the spices from India and Iran. I have been in the U.S for more than one year. Food here is totally different from food in Bahrain, because American people do not like spices in their food. I missed my favorite food, which is medium size fish with rice and vegetable salad for dinner. Usually people like to have that dish for their lunch but I prefer it for the dinner. I like the fish to be fried and well done with rice and vegeatable as a side dish.

FOOD IN CARBONDALE

In Carbondale there are not enough places to buy food, that is what makes Wal-Mart an interesting place to go to. What makes Wal-Mart interesting is that you can find everything in one place, food in different kinds and sizes fresh food, frozen food, fruits. Also they have different sections for international food, European food, Indian food and Jewish food, which is all in one place. Once you go to Wal-Mart you don't need to go to another place to buy food.

Carbondale

NATURE

I have visited many different countries all over the world. But, what makes Carbondale different from other places it the nature. Nature in Carbondale is very different because it is in the midwest. People of Carbondale told me that southern illinois has unique trees and it looks like the south's trees; also, they have less nature to the north and all that because of the unique location in Carbondale you will find forests, hills and vales; all this diversity has made Carbondale beautiful and has given it plenty of rich scenic landscape. National parks in Carbondlale are good exampls of the diversity of nature in this spot. In addition, the diversity of wildlife of this city is another aesthetic dimension.

Abstract

Food Production is the topic of this paper. It is discuses the hunger in the world. It is argues how important is food to prevent poverty and hunger. Therefore it discuses the way that may help to provide more food in order to save the first solution is proved food by using technology and the second way is to educate poor people. The third one is involve poor people in the problem. Finally, support the food relief organizations to help people.

weather

the worst thing about carbondale weather is that we dont know what will happen tomorrow unless you watch hte weather or news. Soetimes, the weather in carbondale looks pleasant and great at night, but suddenly in the morning the weather changes to terrible and unpleasant. Also, in carbondale the temperature is sometims unstable; it may be very cold in the day and normal at night like what happended last night. However my way to understand the weather here is when i wake up every morning i open the window and predict what will happen durnign the day and adjust myself according to that. In addition, i always adjust the AC to the middle becaus if the weather changes to cold i still have some heat and if changes to warm weather the AC won't work because it is in the middle. it is difficult choose betweent winter and summer, because in carbondle it is sometheing strange you can not do outdoor activites during the winter. that way i think the place where you live has influence what you like.

Abstract

Global warming has an effect on polar bears's lives. First, pollution from gases, oil and coal affects negtively on bears' lives. second, the high temperature in the Arctic puts bears' lives in danger; third burning of waste and pollution released by factories must be reduced. Finally, polar bears' lives are still in danger. Therefore we should put all the necessary efforts into portecting them.

WAL-MART

Imagine that you have a multibillion dollar business; would you be thinking about helping society in any way for free?. Most companies around the world operate in a system that works toward pure profit. Rare are the companies that work toward helping society besides profiting. Wal-Mart is one of the most successful and helpful companies to society. Wal-Mart is helpful to society in three ways; socially, economically and individually.

First of all, serving people, especially in social terms, is one of the ways to be successful at any project or company. One of the strategies that Wal-Mart uses is helping the community by providing large number of jobs. J. Hoeing said, " in 2005 Wal-Mart created 125,000 U.S jobs and is continuously adding thousands each month" (2004, para. 16). In fact it is noticeable that Wal-Mart has large numbers of staff of different ages, races and genders. For example Wal-Mart has old, young, black and white employees. Also Wal-Mart cares about poor people in the society. Wal-Mart provides important services such as donations to charity. For example, Wal-Mart has forms that poor people can fill out in order to get a monthly donation. Thus Wal-mart, considered one of the projects that serve the community.

Next, consumers around the world are looking for the best way to save money and time. People are different and they do not have the same budget. Wal-Mart noticed the differences in purchasing ability among people. J. Hoenig said "the truth is that all Wal-Mart is provide low prices,...." (2004. para. 6). For this reason it provides various materials at low prices. For example microwave at Wal-Mart is only for $25. Also it provides nearly all people need in one place to save consumers time and money. For example any customer can change his car oil by taking it to the car service section at Wal-Mart and do shopping at the same time.
Finally, it is difficult to convince customers to buy and return again. Wal-Mart has its way to persuading customers to come back and buy what they need from it. Most of the customers think about the parking and whether it is free or not before they go for shopping. Therefore it has huge and free parking. Moreover, Wal-Mart tries to convince customers by provides returning service. For example if any customer bought a video camera, but for any reason he/she is not satisfied Wal-Mart will return the money.

Opponents claim that Wal-Mart offered low quality products. However this argument comes from people who live in a different world, because many people currently think about how much the product costs them, regardless of the quality. Not all people can afford for product with high quality and high prices. For example, microwaves at Wal-Mart cost between $25 and $40 with good quality and that price is reasonable for many people who do not have that ability to buy a high quality microwave for $200. Also the cost of repairs would be high for the high quality products while it will not cost much for good and low price products. For example a customer can spend $25 for another microwave rather than spend another $100 to fix the high quality products. In conclusion Wal-Mart tries to help people in many different ways. E. Locke states that, " Wal-Mart is on of the most impressive stories in the history of business" ( 2004, para. 4).

In conclusion, Wal-Mart helps America socially by providing many jobs and donating to the charity; economically by having large stores that contain various goods for low prices, and individually, by providing a lot of services to make the shopping experience comfortable to customers. E. Locke mentioned that, “we should thank this great company for being so good at giving customers what they want that they make huge profits, which enables them to build more stores, hire more employees, give more profit opportunities to suppliers and make even more customers happy" (2004, para. 7). I believe that people who do not go to Wal-Mart will not know the meaning of shopping.

Global warming and polar bears

Is the world boiling? Global warming, or what some scientists call climate change or climate disaster, can be defined simply as the high temperature in the earth, which some think may cause an environmental and humanitarian disasters climate change and high temperature are not that controversial because they are already happening; temperatures are measured every day and compared with other records in the past, higher temperature is a facts. The problem is not in the high temperatures, but the reason for this rise; people interested in the environment say that the impact of pollution caused by humans from the various materials consumption is the main reason for the higher temperatures. Despite this laws have been designed to protect polar bears, who are suffering from this problem, especially restrictions that prevented polar bear hunting. But the future of these animals is still unsafe. The threat of global warming is equal to the threat of terrorism. In other words, global warming does not differentiate between people or animals; therefore, we should all work to fight this disaster.

First of all, as humans we have daily requirements, such as energy, including electricity, natural gas, and gasoline, as well as operation of machines by burning fuels such as oil or coal. Those gases release other gases to the air which cause problems such as the greenhouse heat, ozone hole and air pollution, which makes the lives of some organisms in danger. One of those lives is that of the polar bear. In “Global warming could starve polar bears” the author said, “climate change is threatening polar bears with starvation by shortening their hunting season, according to a study by scientists from the Canadian Wildlife Service” (1999, para. 1). On the other hand, scientists are currently working on different kinds of alternative energy which are much safer for human use and which keep the environment free from pollution as possible, such as bioenergy; also, these use of water as an alternative energy that cars and other forms of transportation can use instead of chemicals that could make the situation much worse.

Next, we must preserve the environment and wildlife. Moreover, the environment suffers, as well as organisms such as animals and frost which can not defend themselves against what humans do. The high temperature in the Arctic as a result of pollution caused by modern technology put the polar bears’ lives in danger(ice melting). J. Carlton said, “scientists for the first time have documented multiple deaths of polar bears off Alaska, where they likely drowned after swimming long distances in the ocean amid the melting of the Arctic ice shelf…, the bears spend most of their time hunting and raising their young on ice floes” (2005, para. 1). As a result, some organizations seek to find some natural reserve to protect the polar bears from extinction.

Finally, it is the duty of the developed countries to reduce the pollution by establishing strict laws. The burning of waste and pollution released by factories must be under control. J. Carlton said, “while the government researchers won’t speculate on why climate change is taking place in the Arctic, environmentalists unconnected to the survey say U.S. emphasizing oil and gas development are exacerbating global warming which is accelerating the melting of the ice. “ ‘For anyone who has wondered how global warming and reduced sea ice will affect polar bears, the answer is simple - they die, said Richard Steiner, a marine-biology professor at the university of Alaska” (2005, para. 5).

In "what global warming debate"?. the author said, “Scientists have conducted a number of ‘attribution studies’ that compare observed changes in the global climate with those factors that are known to influence climate. These studies indicate that the climate change observed over the 20th century is due to a combination of changes in solar radiation, volcanic activity, land-use change, and increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Of these, greenhouse gases appear to be the dominant driver of climate change over the past few decades“ (2005, para. 2). On the other hand, in global warming human fingerprints the author said, “ In its 2001 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities." Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning and land clearing has been accumulating in the atmosphere, where it acts like a blanket keeping Earth warm and heating up the surface, ocean, and atmosphere. As a result, current levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years”(n.d, para 2) Moreover, the fast increasing in temperatures is one kind of the evidence that did not previously exist and it shows that there are activities that help to raise it. But how some humans are involved in this case. Thus they should wait until the last moment as to whether we know the real cause or not.

In concluding, It is necessary to find the alternative energy and it is the duty of governments to preserve the environment and species and seek to find effective and quick solutions to stop the disaster. Regardless; of who is the main cause of the global warming effect, global warming has not difference between its treatent of the accused and the innocent. As global citizens we should work together to stop any danger that may threaten our life or the environment around us.

VACATION

Planning for vacation sin not the easiest thing you can do. Where, how, who and how much. All those questions got to be answerd before starting any vacation It is difficult to choose a place to hade to. However, in my vacation I am going to Maldives Island. The first thing that I am going to think about when I get there is diving. Diving in one of the most interesting sports ever. Despite the danger that divers might face underwater,the beauty of Maldives' virgin beaches could let them forget any kind of faer. Also , in Maldives Island I can enjoy the hot sands during the day, to mention the oil and mud massage. In addition, In Maldives I can choose between different kind of hotels, some hotels are are located in the water and some on hte land. As I like fishing I will choose offshore hotels to enjoy fishing through a small hole in the living room.

WEATHER CHANGING

SAUDI ARABIA is located in the Middle East. It is considered as one of the hottest areas in the world in the summer. In the winter Saudi Arabia usually gets few days of rain and it gets very rare reachng zero degrees. However, Saudi Arabia has noticed changes in the weather. Recently, the temperature in Saudi Arabia has gotten higher then befor during the summer. It was between 50 degrees and 55 in the hottest days, but now it is going beyond the 60s. Also, in the winter rain quantity is getting much more than before with floodubg days which are considered uncommon in that area. The experts said the changes are one of global warming results.

Polar bear and global warming

In "Is global warming killing the Polar bears?" by Jim Carlton, the author claims that Polar Bears are in danger because of the global warming. He added that some scientists witnessed multiple deaths of polar bears in their nautral habitat as a result of ice melting. According to the author, polar bears can swim for long distances. Yet, polar bears need to get some rest during their swim on a small floating ice piece; otherwise, polar bears may face the danger of drowning. Therefore, many international organizations such as Greenpeace understand the great danger of global warming and what its influence on polar bear’s environment is. Despite, the efforts staged by many governments to try to end this threat, polar bears are still in danger. I believe that all governments and the interested organizations must work together to stop this threat.
First of all, the threat of global warming is a real threat not only to the nature, but also it threatens human. The current change witnessed by the world in the climate and high temperatures it caused for several reasons, such as pollution from the industrial cities around the world. Also, the indiscriminate destruction of forests, and pollution from individuals through the use of vehicles have added up to make the global warming. As a result, global warming has caused contraction in the area of the Arctic and increasing the temperature in that area. Therefore, neglecting this serious issue by the governments and organizations may cause several disasters.

Next, most natural disasters in the world like floods, forest fires and sea pollution have many causes including human. Also, the industrial revolution has made people have forget disasters that may occur as a consequence of pollution from factories and chemical plants. Therefore, the continued progress of the development could lead to deliberate further disaster if we do not take the necessary precautions.

Finally, the melting ice in the Arctic threatens the lives of Polar bears. According the author, some scientist witnessed polar bears deaths as a result of the shrinking space in that area. the high temperature plays a key role in ice melting. Thus, all governments and other organizations should stop this disaster by creating effective solutions to ensure the progress for humanity and the preservation of natural wildlife.

In conclusion, it is the duty of governments and organizations to fight the threat to the life of the polar bear. Moreover, Arctic climate change is the result of the latest pollution caused by human; therefore, it is their duty to devote all efforts to reduce the danger that may threaten human life before bear’s life. In addition the high ratio of sea water and changing climates around the globe may be the end of the evolution which humans seek.

technology

In the dark ages people used at walk. Walking was the only way to go from one place to another. After, hundreds of years people started to use animals in their transportation, like camels and horses. Since they started to understand that they have alternative solutions to develop the way that they used to use by coming up with new inventions like rock and wood wheels to use in their transportation, also to carry their needs. As a result, people at that time started to think about speed since they have wheels they need something that can carry them faster. Therefore, they invented steam machines. Unlike the dark ages we now have planes, cars, trains and ships. Accordingly, all those inventions drive people to think about transportation differently like the invention of the time machine.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is the stongest relation that could happen for two people or more. It does not necessarily happen for non-relative people. It could be between brothers or sisters: also it can be between spouses. The reason it is the strongest relation is that it does not depend on ay any kind of material desires. Although many people can not feel others pain or happiness.but good friends do. Good frineds never wait until you ask for help, because they know when they should be there for you. Furthermore, some good frineds care about their frineds more then theselves. Yet, we can not know whether someone is a good frined or not unless we have experience with them.

HOLIDAY IN BAHRAIN

Bahrain, which means "two seas" is a small island in the Gulf Sea. A causeway connecs Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. It has a population of about 700,000 and Islam is the religion in it. People will be amazed when they get to Bahrain for the first time. It is known for great hospitality and poeple there are frienaly and they welcome tourists all the time. People who visit Bahrain have diverse choices; for example, they can stay at any one of the multiple five stars hotels in the capital city (Manama) or they can go to one of three islands that include all that tourists need such as hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities, not to mention the warm beaches. Tourists usually like Bahrain's food. They can try "Mahammer" which is sea food; also they can try ' Majboos Hamoore" which Bahrainies use to welcome their guests.
