Now India’s population has grown up very quickly. They have too many people in their country. “With 1,130,000,000 people, India is currently the world’s second largest country” (Rosenberg, 2007, para.1). The government does not have any control of population. People want more boys than girls. They think just a boy can keep the family tree and take care of them. So, they bear a lot of boys. However, in one family, they have more boys than girls. “The consequence of female infanticide and, more recently, abortion is India’s awkwardly skewed gender ratio, among the most imbalanced in the world. The ratio among children up to the age of 6 was 962 girls per 1,000 boys in 1981, but 20 years later the inequity was actually worse: 927 girls per 1,000 boys” (Girish, 2005, para.3). Also, India’s government cannot control about how many they bear. The government just makes them bear children again and again. The government does not care about number of children in one family. If government does not control the number of people, they might face a big problem, such as loss of living area or no more jobs for people. People cannot decide babies’ gender. But they still bear a lot of children. It can make women marry later and it also leads to social unrest. “The French demographer Christophe Guilmoto warned that future deficits of adult women would affect the stability of the entire marriage system and lead to social unrest where men were likely to be violent against women” (Kontominas, 2007, para.2).
Now in India gender imbalance is very serious. They have more boys than girls, because they always bear boys. They want a boy. They think girls cannot protect them when they are old. In their mind, just a boy can help them. “The oleander plant yields a bright, pleasant flower, but also a milky sap that, if ingested, can be a deadly poison. It’s one of the methods families use to kill newborn girls in the Salem District of Tamil Nadu, a part of India notorious for female infanticide” (Girish, 2005, para.1). They think that when a girl grows up, she might marry and live with her husband. So, in their mind they really want to bear a boy. They do not make rules about gender imbalance. If they still stubbornly insist on bearing a baby, it might make it hard for men to marry; it might make it hard for parents to care for them, and it might cause a lack of jobs for males.
First, if people still stubbornly insist on bearing babies, it might make it hard for men marry. In India, there are more men than women. They want boys. So, some rich people use technology to know baby’s gender, but humans cannot decide it. “Infanticide is illegal in India, and laws are also in place to stop sex-selective abortions. But in some places, national rules don’t hold enough sway to overcome local religious and social customs-which remain biased in favor of sons over daughters” (Girish, 2005, para.4). For example, in the world there are 40 girls and 60 boys out of every hundred. When they grow up, they might get married. However, in this group there might be 10 boys who cannot get married, because there are 20 more males than females. In most countries, they just can get married with one person. How about the other twenty people; who can get married to them? If men cannot get married with women, it might cause social confusion. In the future, women could get married with two or more men. Male power might decrease in society. It is not fair. It is just because of parents’ avarice, their son cannot get married. It might destroy their lifetime.
Second, if in the world there are more men, it might make it very hard for parents to care for them. For example, they just have boys. When they grow up, they should get married. His parents should give him money to prepare for the marriage. If they have 5 sons, they should give their 5 sons the same money. It is a hard thing for a poor family. “Faced with such pressure, many families, rich and poor alike, are turning to prenatal selection to ensure that they receive a son” (Baldauf, 2006, para.5). Not only does marriage require money, but also when they are young boys, they should go to school. It also requires a lot of money. They need school fees and they need money to buy food and clothes. It is very a difficult thing for a poor family. Also, parents should take care of them in many ways. However, in their deep mind they think they should have sons. “There’s more money here now, and more education. But it’s still in the back of everyone’s mind: ‘I must have a male child’” (Sullivan, 2008, para.8). They think that when a boy grows up, he will get married. He still can live with his parents. His wife can protect his parents. Why can they bear boys? Because when technologies developed fast, people could use ultrasound to make sure of their baby’s gender. It can make parents be satisfied about their children.
Finally, if they have too many males, there might be no more jobs for males. Gender imbalance might affect future society. “Bioethicists say they are concerned the preference of one sex over the other, in this case boys over girls, will create a future imbalance of population and power” (Gajilan, 2005, para.21). For example, there are a lot of men in this world. The ratio of successful to total applicants for a job might be very high. Most parents might give their son the best education. So, their parents might have high expectation for them. When they go to a company to get a job, there will be many people. They should compete for just one position. It is too hard. They must compete with people of the same sex and of the different sex. Now women also take high education. Women are very smart. Now men want to win women; it is a very difficult thing. The extreme case, men are unable to find a wife. Gender imbalance might give humans a lot of discomfort. Most Asian people think boys are more important than girls, but it is exactly wrong. They think just a boy can help them and keep the family tree. In some Asian countries, in people’s deep mind they think a woman is a burden economically and socially (Kontominas, 2007, para.6). Now women can do everything men do. Women also have power in this society. In some countries, they have female presidents. In the world, there are many famous females people. For example, in America, there are many female stars. They have a lot of money. They can affect other people by their actions. People want to bear a boy, but they bear girls. Parents might bear more and more. They will stop bearing after they bear a boy. It is a big problem. It caused overpopulation. The overpopulation might cause many problems. If the population increased, it will be hard for humans to live, because there might be no more places people can live. Also, overpopulation might bring food war. Overpopulation caused children to be unable to go to school. If in a family, there are too many children, some of them cannot go to school. It also makes environmental pollution. They should change their attitude. The society is most important process to tell people what is true.
In conclusion, in many Asian countries, they want to bear boys because of their tradition. In their deep mind, they think boys are more useful than girls. So, they use high technology to know what their baby’s gender is. However, if there are a lot of males, it might make it hard for men to marry, it might make it hard for parents to care for them, and there might be no more jobs for males. It will be a problem for society. Not only those results, but also overpopulation make food wars happen or children be unable to go to school. Just because of parents’ avarice, the social problems are being getting more serious day by day. Parents should take care of their children, whatever the gender is, boy or girl. Also, the government should take a role in controlling population. If the government still does not have any solution for population growth, they might face a big problem.

According to S. Baldauf, in “Study: Selective –sex abortion claims 500,000 girls a year”, in India, there are a lot of women who must abort babies. They use ultrasound to know what sex it is. The prenatal selection and selective abortion is a custom in India. This custom is around all the religious groups. However, most commonly it is around educated women. There are many results; one of those is social repercussions. The sex ratio will be skewed. The female feticide is most common for India’s elite. Some activists say female feticide is wrong in order to criticize Indian society. The use of ultrasound should be to check birth defects, not gender. Bishnoi says the educated women are more likely to decide on babies’ gender. However Ms. Bishnoi says the failure is because of a society, not women. Some of the number of female abortions might be exaggerated.
In most Asian countries, they want to bear boys. If they still have this attitude, the gender imbalance problem might be bigger. We should find solution about this problem. The government should make a law about abortion, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance, and parents should have responsibility for their children in their mind.
First, the government should make a law about abortion. For example, most countries do not have laws about abortion. People go to a hospital use ultrasound to check baby’s gender. If gender is not a male, they might abort their baby. It is too cruel. If government makes a law about abortion, people might not be able to do that so easily. For example, in Germany, they have a law about women having abortions. They never cannot do that. They think doing abortion is very cruel. The government should do like Germany to save the babies’ lives.
Second, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance. At one time, girls could not go to school to study, but now they can. School’s action is very important for student. They should teach them real. For example, when a teacher teaches students, they need to tell them that now the gender is imbalanced, because many people are just bearing boys. If they do not do like this, the students might think they must bear the boy. Their culture has always thought that just boys are important.
Finally, parents should have responsibility for their children in their minds, whatever the baby’s gender. In more developed countries, people think the gender is not important for them, because in their mind they think the most important thing is that they have a baby, not what gender the baby has. They are happy they have their own children. On the other hand, in less developed countries, people think just a boy can help them, and boys can make them happy. They had this attitude 100 years ago. Now it is 2008; people should change their mind from the past. Whether girl or boy they are your children.
In conclusion, most people think the gender problem is because of culture. It is true, but the other reason is women’s attitude. So, we should discard the wrong attitude. We can do such as government make a law about abortion, schools should teach students about gender ratio’s importance, and parents should have responsibility for their children in their mind. It might be able to solve the problem.

India population
According to T. Sullivan, in “Rising India cannot shake its bias for boys gender imbalance widens in 2nd most populous country”, in India, the gender imbalance has become bigger; we cannot swing their bias. Most people want more boys than girls. They want to be globalized and there is more money and education, but in their deep mind they want to bear boys. Researchers think education and wealth can decrease the desire to choose boys. Also, researchers say that pressure for smaller families is the problem. Numbers of girls are coming back to school. They are growing a middle class and there is increased urbanization. In nearby villages, it is difficult to see girls.
In most of Asia, they want to bear a boy. Why do they have special affection for boys? Because they think a boy can protect them when they are old, a boy can help them do farm work, and boys are smarter than girls.
First, most people think boys can protect them when they are old. All the people will be old. It is a natural phenomenon. When people become old, their children should protect them. It is most people’s thought. However, they do not believe in girls, because they think when girls get married, they might live with their husband; so, she does not have time and energy to protect them. For example, in a poor family, they have 5 daughters and just one son. The son might be very important in their family. When they grow up, the daughters are married. Then they are moving out to live with their husbands’ families. They should do a lot of housework. They do not have time to take care of their parents. Their parents just can believe the son, because when the son gets married, there is a woman moving in to the man’s house. They can live together with their parents.
Second, a boy can help parents do farm work. In a less developed country, they mostly want boys. For example, man’s power is bigger than a woman’s. It is different from physiology. A man can pick up the heavy goods. A woman cannot help their parents with basics. They just do some easy things like cleaning, cooking, and sewing. Parents like sons more than daughters. Also, men have good tenacity. If a man and woman do the same difficult things, women might abandon them early, but men might do that to the end.
Finally, parents think boys are smarter than girls. Most parents do not let their daughters go to school, because they think it just wastes money. They just stay at home and help their parents to do housework. However, they have a right to go to school for study. For example, in India they do not let girls go to school. They think girls are not smart. Also, they think when girls grow up, girls can marry a rich boy. It is enough for girls. If women have a good marriage, their life will be good. In the world, most presidents are men. In some parts, women cannot catch up with men, such as in business or in the diplomatic sense. In government, most diplomatic officials are men. In parents’ minds, they think just boys can rise in the world.
In conclusion, we should change our minds. Not only can boys can do business, but also girls can do it. In Asia, most parents think their daughter just can do housework. They think boys are better than girls. That’s because they think when boys grow up, he can protect them, boy can help them do farm work, and boys are smatter than girls. Girls also can do those things. Now women also have power in society.

population
According to B. Kontominas, in “Gender imbalance a threat to stability”, sex trade and violence against women happened because of the gender imbalance; in Asia it is not being addressed. In a presentation, they worried that the men are more likely to be violent forward women; it might affect stable marriage systems and make social instability. In Asia, there are more men than women. In most of Asia, they want sons more than daughters. It makes sexual the quality. When people have the ultrasound, it is easier for them to abort. Dr. Guilmoto said to change people’s attitudes and make a law can help reduce sex selection. Also, Dr. Purnima Mane said, we should change the value of women now.
In Asia, most people want a son. However, it is not something humans can decide. People may bear a lot of children before they bear a son. They never think about the result. It will be hard for humans to live, most children might be able to go to school, and it can pollute the environment.
First, if the population increased, it will be hard for humans to live. The human living areas will be smaller. For example, humans live in places that have limits. If people are stubborn about bearing babies, we might have insufficient living areas. Also, it can bring about food war, because of the high population. If the population goes up, people need more food than before. For example, they have six children and parents. Total is eight people in that family. It means they should have enough food for eight people to eat. They should have a lot of money, because they could buy enough food to eat. It is hard for a poor family.
Second, if the population increases, most children might be able to go to school. In most of the less developed countries, people want to bear a boy. They think the boy can do everything. When they bear a boy, they might feel self-conceit. People can bear many babies, but for a poor family, the child might be able to go to school, because they do not have enough money to pay study cost. For example, in a poor family, they may have 5 children. They should go to school, but their family does not have enough money to pay. Their parents decide to just make one child go to school. It is unfair for the other children. They also have the right to go to school. If they do not go to school, they cannot learn knowledge.
Finally, if we have many people, it might pollute the environment. Too many people can make environmental pollution. For example, in less developed countries most people throw trash in public places. They think throwing trash it does not matter, because other people also do this. Why do they think like this? Because they has a low cultural level. If the low cultural level people still bear babies, it might make cultural level lower and lower. So, it makes them not think anything about making environmental pollution.
In conclusion, the population increased day by day. It might a serious problem. If we do not find solution, this problem might be bigger. If population increased, it will be hard for humans to live, children might be able to go to school, and people may pollute the environment. People should not just want to bear a boy. Boy or girls both are important for parents.

solution of ice shelf collapse
Now global warming is very serious. Global warming caused the Ice shelf collapse. According to the articles “Global warming blamed for ice shelf collapse”, “It is thought the warming of the atmosphere, which has been happening several times faster on the Antarctic Peninsula than the global average, has melted more surface ice, which is weakening the shelf” (2008, para.5). Global warming caused temperature to go up and high temperature makes ice collapse. So, the ice shelf collapse caused the sea level to increase and break the ecosystem. According to the article “Warming to Cause Catastrophic Rise in Sea Level?”, “However, the biggest danger, many experts warn, is that global warming will cause sea levels to rise dramatically. Thermal expansion has already raised the oceans 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters)” (Lovgren, 2004, para.3). It might be very dangerous, because if sea level increased, islands may be buried. Our living areas will become smaller. Also, if the ecosystem is damaged, natural disasters might happen. All of those things happen, and we might lose our home, because the living area will get smaller.
Global warming will become more and more serious. According to the article “Seattle's serious about global warming”, “The current trajectory of climate change, if continued over the next 50 years, will take untold lives and cause widespread human suffering, destruction of coastal cities, loss of species and destabilization of the world economy” (Steinbrueck, 2007, para.1). If we do not find ways to solve those problems, we might repent our behavior. There are some solutions to improve environment problems. One is to not use plastic bags, another is to use public transportation, and the other is to not use Freon gas.
First, we should stop using plastic bags. When we go to the market to buy something, they put products in a plastic bag. Then, we might throw away the plastic bag. In the article “Plastic at your peril”, “Plastic is one of the major toxic pollutants of our time” (Our pharma correspondent, 2007, para.1). If the plastic rots, it requires a long time. Many times we are burying the plastic bag under the ground. When the plastic bag rots, it might pollute the environment. Now we have no idea about how to solve the problem of plastic. Even if we do something to improve it, it cannot be solved at the root. For example, if we burn the plastic bags, bad ingredients will flow out. It will destroy the atmosphere. In article “Plastic at your peril”, “Plastic causes serious damage to environment both during its production and disposal. So the only way to reduce the hazards of plastic is to reduce the use of plastic and thereby force a reduction in its production” (Our pharma correspondent, 2007, para.4).
Second, people should use public transportation or a family should have just one car. For example, we should use the subway, because the subway uses electricity. It can improve the environment. Now in many families they average 2 cars. It wastes resources. For example, there are two families. One family just has one car; the other family has two cars. They both live in the big city. The first family’s members sometimes use the car, but sometimes use public transportation. They might be very uncomfortable, but it can save good environment for their future generations. People should use more public transportation. In “Should roads have tolls to fight global warming?” the author said “Environmental groups consider the bills critical to a larger effort to get people out of their cars and into public transportation” (Garber, 2008, para.2). The other family is always using the car. In that family, the gas fee might be 200 dollars per month. It is very convenient, but it is very expensive and it is not good for the environment.
Third, people should stop using Freon gas. Now people are using a lot of heat in winter. We are using a lot of Freon gas in refrigerator. The Freon gas can make an ozone hole. In “Eliminating CFCs: It’s up to us” the author said, “Stratospheric chlorine and fluorine from the breakdown of CFCs is the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole” (Brownstein, 2000, para.3). So, the ozone cannot keep the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s UV immediateness reaches the earth’s surface. People might get skin cancer because of UV rays. In “Skin cancer”, “The most prominent cause of skin cancer is sun damage. This damage is caused by ultraviolet rays” (n.d. para.8) Also, it will make ice melt. It can raise the sea level. If the sea level increased, the natural disaster will happen, such as typhoons and floods.
Some people say global warming is not very serious and it is not a problem. They might think it is true. However I strongly disagree with them. Global warming is a big issue in the world. Global warming makes temperature increase. The high temperature makes North and South Pole ice collapse. It has caused sea level to increase. In “Global warming blamed for Antarctic Ice shelf collapse”, “Scientists say it is a sign of rapid climate change in a region that has experienced the greatest temperature increases on earth” (Skirble, 2008, para.1). If sea level still increases, it will be very dangerous for us. We should think about our future. Global warming is because of humans. Humans make environmental pollution. People throw away trash anywhere. When they do that, they never think about the end. They never think that the environment is very important. So, they just do everything they want, such as logging wood to earn money or polluting the environment.
In conclusion, now the sea level is increasing day by day. It is a serious problem for us. Most people do not know how serious this problem is. They think that as time passes all these things will be fine, but it is impossible, because we have already polluted the environment too deeply. We should find a solution to solve those problems. We should stop using plastic bags, we should stop using Freon gas, and we should use public transportation. If we do this, we might be able to improve the environment. However, if we still pollute the environment, it might give us no solutions to solve problems. We can improve the environment problems by our change. We can do it, and we must do it.

Global warming will become more and more serious. According to the article “Seattle's serious about global warming”, “The current trajectory of climate change, if continued over the next 50 years, will take untold lives and cause widespread human suffering, destruction of coastal cities, loss of species and destabilization of the world economy” (Steinbrueck, 2007, para.1). If we do not find ways to solve those problems, we might repent our behavior. There are some solutions to improve environment problems. One is to not use plastic bags, another is to use public transportation, and the other is to not use Freon gas.
First, we should stop using plastic bags. When we go to the market to buy something, they put products in a plastic bag. Then, we might throw away the plastic bag. In the article “Plastic at your peril”, “Plastic is one of the major toxic pollutants of our time” (Our pharma correspondent, 2007, para.1). If the plastic rots, it requires a long time. Many times we are burying the plastic bag under the ground. When the plastic bag rots, it might pollute the environment. Now we have no idea about how to solve the problem of plastic. Even if we do something to improve it, it cannot be solved at the root. For example, if we burn the plastic bags, bad ingredients will flow out. It will destroy the atmosphere. In article “Plastic at your peril”, “Plastic causes serious damage to environment both during its production and disposal. So the only way to reduce the hazards of plastic is to reduce the use of plastic and thereby force a reduction in its production” (Our pharma correspondent, 2007, para.4).
Second, people should use public transportation or a family should have just one car. For example, we should use the subway, because the subway uses electricity. It can improve the environment. Now in many families they average 2 cars. It wastes resources. For example, there are two families. One family just has one car; the other family has two cars. They both live in the big city. The first family’s members sometimes use the car, but sometimes use public transportation. They might be very uncomfortable, but it can save good environment for their future generations. People should use more public transportation. In “Should roads have tolls to fight global warming?” the author said “Environmental groups consider the bills critical to a larger effort to get people out of their cars and into public transportation” (Garber, 2008, para.2). The other family is always using the car. In that family, the gas fee might be 200 dollars per month. It is very convenient, but it is very expensive and it is not good for the environment.
Third, people should stop using Freon gas. Now people are using a lot of heat in winter. We are using a lot of Freon gas in refrigerator. The Freon gas can make an ozone hole. In “Eliminating CFCs: It’s up to us” the author said, “Stratospheric chlorine and fluorine from the breakdown of CFCs is the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole” (Brownstein, 2000, para.3). So, the ozone cannot keep the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s UV immediateness reaches the earth’s surface. People might get skin cancer because of UV rays. In “Skin cancer”, “The most prominent cause of skin cancer is sun damage. This damage is caused by ultraviolet rays” (n.d. para.8) Also, it will make ice melt. It can raise the sea level.

problem of writing ability
Most people use the Internet. Internet is very useful in our life. In Internet, we can do whatever we want to do, such as chatting, getting information, or playing games. Now, the high school students’ writing skill is very poor, because they use a lot of chatting words. “As more and more teenagers socialize online, middle school and high school teachers like Ms. Harding are increasingly seeing a breezy form of Internet English jump from e-mail into schoolwork” (Lee, 2002, paras.12-14). They are not using the academic language. It might decline people’s presentation ability. It is such a serious problem. How can we help them? We should find something to help them quit from the Internet.
Now the Internet has become an issue. The students are using a lot of Internet words in writing. So, their writing is very bad. We can make them do more outside activity and parents can put computers in the living room and make a time limit for computer.
First, parents can make them do more outside activity. Now, many students are using Internet to do chatting. They think Internet can teach them something. “In at least one central respect, proponents of technology in the classroom are on to something: Most students (60.9%) believe (the use of technology) improves their learning” (Guess, 2007, Para.17). They like chatting because they want to spend time with their friends. If they want talk about many things, they should type very quickly. So, they might shorten the words. If children do this a long time, parents should stop them. In America, parents want give their children more freedom, but they should be strict with their children. They can do some outside activity with their children, such as play soccer, play basketball, or go fishing. The children want to spend time with their friends, because they think parents do not have concern for them. So, if parents can spend a little time with their children, they might be able to shorten the time they use computer.
Second, parents can put the computer in the living room and make a time limit for the computer. For example, most teenagers have a computer in their own room. They can do everything they want. Nobody can control them. Parents do not know what their children do. If parents put a computer in the living room, parents can know what their children do when parents are in the living room. It might make the teenager use less Internet. If they are using less Internet, it might help them not have a writing problem. That is because too many students are writing short and they are using some little code, such as “I’m eat food”, “I’m study”. The students should be careful to write suitably and not use little code (Lee, 2002). Also, parents can set up a time limit on the computer. For example, before the teenager plays on the computer, parents can set up time that the computer is off.
In conclusion, both the middle school and high school students have writing problems, because they are using a lot of chatting words to write. It is a serious problem for us. We should help them. Parents should make their children do more outside activity and put computers in the living room. It might work for teenagers.

Ice collapse
In article “ Low probability of ice collapse,” the author talks about how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will collapse. First, the WAIS can decide the sea level. There was an attempt at disintegration of a WAIS collapse. Second, researchers believe the WAIS is 13% of the ice in Antarctica has collapsed. Now the temperatures are increasing very quickly in parts of the West Antarctica. Next, Dr. David Vaughan said the ice sheet collapse’s probability is a low ratio. Finally, the Department for Environment said the sea level would be increased one meter per century.
Now the ice shelf collapse is very serious. If it still happens, it might give us a big disaster. There will be an unstable ecosystem, food resource war, and buried islands.
First, if ice shelf collapses still happen, it might make the ecosystem unstable. For example, when sea level increases by 10 meters, the animals and fish will follow the sea and move to another place. If they move to another place, they may affect human life. They might eat human food and hurt people. In Indonesia, there are many snacks that live with people. I hear this in Korean TV program. It is because of a broken ecosystem. They do not have place to live, so they move to the cities. It is very dangerous. If those things still happen, the tiger or lions will come to the city to hurt people.
Second, if the sea level still increases, a food resource war might happen. For example, when the sea level rises, the plain will be buried. If this thing happens, we will have no food to eat. If no ground can be given to us to grow, the food scramble might happen. When war happens, people will lose their home or die. Food is a very important thing in our life. If people cannot eat, it makes them crazy. When people’s minds are not clear, they can do any brutal things such as eat humans.
Finally, if the surface of the water rises, it can bury islands. For example, the sea’s surface increased day by day. The water could little by little bury an island. If this happened, people might lose their home, or might lose their families. It is very sad. Also, if people lose their home, they might move from islands to big cities. The big city’s population will increase to twice. The living place will be smaller and smaller. When you walk on the road, the people will encounter other people. It is a very uncomfortable life.
In conclusion, we should obstruct the ice collapse. If not, we might lose everything. If the surface of the water rises, an ecosystem will be unstable, there will be a food resources war, and island will be buried.

Ice Shelf Collapse
In the ScienceDaily (2008) article “Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Blamed On More Than Climate Change” the author talks about an Ice Shelf Collapse that is not because of climate. In the Journal of Glaciology it says before final summer comes the ice has already collapsed by itself. Before we thought the ice shelf collapsed because of the climate, but a new study showed us Ice Shelf collapse is not totally because of climate. The study is very important, because the ice shelf collapse can control the sea level. Professor Glasser recognized that global warming was a factor in the collapse, but it was just one factor in global warming. Also, he will show an important role in the future.
Now there are many reasons that cause environment problems. Many people do not care about environmental problem. They usually throw trash anywhere and clip the trees. We should solve the Ice Shelf collapse. We can do three things to solve the environmental problem. Those are do not use disposables, do not always use cleaners, and do not make noise.
First, we can stop using disposables. Most people use disposables, because disposables are very convenient. People do not know that disposables can pollute the environment. For example, when people finish using a disposable at a birthday party, they might throw away the disposable. We cannot degrade the disposable. If we burn the disposable, it might pollute the atmosphere. If we bury the disposable in the ground, they require 100 to 500 years to rot. It is bad for animals and plants. Finally it is bad for humans, because polluting hormones can make animals and plants mutate and people eat those animals and plants.
Second, we should not use more cleaner, because the cleaner can pollute water. When you wash your clothes, you might use a lot of cleaners. People want their clothes to be very clean, so they use a lot of cleaners. It is very bad for water. The cleaner can destroy the sea ecosystem, because in the cleaner is a chemical composition. After people use the cleaner, it will flow to the ocean.
Finally, we should stop making noise. It also can pollute the environment. The noise is from our life, such as cars, factories, and electric products, etc. For example, in the field of construction work they create many noises, because they use many tools, like chainsaws, and big rock drills. The chainsaw can make 100dB noise and big rock drill can make 130dB of noise. In the world, there may be many fields of construction work. They will make a lot of noise to pollute the environment. We should make as little noise as we can.
In conclusion, today there are many factors to pollute the environment. The Ice shelf collapse’s speed is very fast. This is all because of environmental pollution. We should do something we can do. We can stop using disposables, use less cleaner, and stop making noise. If we can do this, the environment might become normal.

Wilkins Ice Shelf
In P. Spotts's (2008) article, "Antarctica's Wilkins Ice Shelf Eroding at an Unforeseen Pace," he explains about how glaciers are dissolved by themselves. First, the U.S, Britain, and Taiwan researchers say ice is lost by itself. They say this erosion cannot hurt sea levels. A glaciologist says the mainland has started to warm up because of Wilkins ice. Actually Wilkins ice speed is more quick than research say. Second, the greatest concern of the region is West Antarctica. The West Antarctica ice sheet still has not changed. East Antarctica had no mass ice between 1992 and 2006. Scientists say all of the factors are because of warmer air and sea temperatures. Third, Dr. Vaughan says the Wilkins Ice Shelf is different from the other. He said, "It's kind of a come-and-go ice shelf." He said Wilkins was according to the season. Finally, Dr. Vaughan says scientists should be able to improve the machine to predict sea climate and conditions.
The global warming is big problem for now. Many people are warning of global warming, because global warming has made ice dissolve. Why is ice dissolving very quickly day by day? There are three reasons of Wilkins ice shelf.
First, Wilkins Ice Shelf is because of cars' wasted gas. Now people are using cars everyday. If we have no car, we cannot go anywhere in a small town, but those exhaust waste gas. In cars' waste gas there is CO2. Too much CO2 in the sky causes he green house effect. It makes global warm.
Second, electric products they can cause it's destruction. For example, in your house there is an air conditioner. When the air conditioner turns on, the air conditioner's fan puts hot air out. The hot air collects outside. In the sky, there will be hotter and hotter. The hot air will make air warm. Also, hair driers and a refrigerators make the air warm.
Third, factory contaminants destroy the Wilkins ice shelf. In all of the world there are many factories. The factory makes our needs in our life. But the factory contaminant makes environmental pollution, because the contaminants flow into the ocean. They did not manage the contaminants. They just put them into the ocean. It pollutes the ocean very seriously.
In conclusion, many reasons cause global warming. The car wastes gas, factories contaminate, and electric products pollute the environment. It makes global warming. The global warming is very serious. We should find solutions to solve these problems.

Pre-martial sex
1. Introduction
Do you had premartial sex? When was your first time? Should people have pre-martial sex? What do you think? Most people's first sex is when they are teenagers. It is a terrible thing. If they have sex early, it might affect their future. When people are teenagers, they are interested in sex. They have sex just because of curiosity. This problem will be with them forever. In "Parents Urged to Go Beyond 'Big Talk' About Sex" the author said, "The surveys looked at children's attitudes toward their parents over a one-year period and asked about how many of 22 sexual topics were discussed." (Stern, 2008, p.1). Adults also have this problem. When people have pre-martial sex, they cannot take responsibility for their lives. For girls it is a really bad thing. When the girl is with her boyfriend and has sex and they break up, the girl might have a new boyfriend, and he might care about whether his girlfriend had sex before. As a result, early indication about sex is bad for their body and mind.
2. Purpose
Our group, Erika, Jundong, Mondouh, and I, wanted to know how people feel about having pre-martial sex. I wanted to know what caused them to have sex. Also, I wanted to know when they first had sex, did they have a baby. We were going to ask only Americans.
3. Hypotheses
I had three hypotheses about having pre-martial sex. First, most males would say they had sex earlier than females. Next, people would say that when they have a child, they will control this. Third, many people would say if they have sadness and pregnancy, they will have a miscarriage.
4.Methods and Procedures
Each member in our group was to ask ten people who are different genders and ages in Carbondale to get a different opinion. We asked mostly SIUC students. We got 39 responses, 19 males and 20 females. We wanted to know how they feel about having pre-martial sex. Those questions were yes or no and short answer. It was easy for them to answer the questions.
5. Data
http://eap1.blogspot.com/2008/03/practice-survey-results.html
6. Results
Actually, women have sex earlier than men. Fifteen out of nineteen males (78%) have had pre-martial sex, and twelve out of twenty females (60%) had pre-martial sex. Eight out of nineteen, 42%, of males, and five out of twenty, 25%, of females had pre-martial sex before marriage is consideredimmoral or unethical. Twelve out of twenty females (60%) do not think that having sex before marriage is considered immoral or unethical. Seven out of nineteen (36%) males, and eight out of twenty (40%) females' friends had the most influence on their opinion about having sex before getting married. Nine out of nineteen, 47%, males disagreed with religions that ban sex before marriage. Nine out of nineteen females (47%) agree with religions that ban sex beforemarriage. Thirteen out of twenty females (65%) think premarital sex contradicts chastity. Eleven out of ninteen males (57%) do not think premarital sex contradicts chastity.
7. Conclusion and Discussion
I believed that generally men have sex earlier than women. It is not true, because our survey showed that women's age number is earlier than men's. I was surprised that women have sex at age 13. It is too early. I thought most men are interested in sex earlier than women. Also, I was surprised that if people have children they will control them in order to prevent them from having sex before marriage, but they do this at younger age. The survey showed 51% of people said if a couple has a baby before they get marriage, they should retain the baby without getting married.
Having sex early is not resnonsible behavior for life. Based on the results, people don't agree that having sex before marriage is a problem. If I do this survey next time, I will ask older people. I want to know how they feel, and how they think about having pre-martial sex. Some of our survey's results couldn't be used because some respondents did not have sex before. So, next time I would like to ask just those who have had sex.

Educate children
In "Our view on corporal punishment: To spank or not to spank?" the author said many years ago many parents spanked their children, when their children made a mistake. Now parents have found better ways to control their children. Sally Lieber thinks parents who use corporal punishment for children three years old and under are crimirals, but it is not good. Abuse is truly a thing that should be illegal. In half of states, government has made a restraint afainst spanking in public schools. Governments consider that parents should find a new plan to educate their children.
When children make a mistake, their parents spank them generally. It is bad for educating children, because when you spank them, it will make them scared, it is not good for children's health, and their personality will change.
First, if you spank them, it will make them scared. When they make a little mistake, you might just spank them. It can make them always scared of you . For example, when I was a little girl, my parents were spanking me. It made me scared to do everything. I just made a little mistake, but my father spanked me. It hurt my heart. If parents spank their children, children will have a wounded mind. It might affect their lives.
Second, parents' spanking children is not good for their health. When parents hit their children, it is dangerous for children. For example, a four-year-old boy is hit by his parents. If his parents do not knowthe extent and hit his head by error, it might kill the little boy. Parents' spanking children may make them die or be damaged.
Third, children's personality might change, when they are always spanked by their parents. For example, a little boy, he did not know many things. Parents should tell him what is true, and what is wrong, not just hit him. He is a very spirited boy, but one day he and his friends play in his home. He breaks the vase. His father liked this vase cey much. When his father learned about that, his fathr got very angry and hit him. From that day he did not talk any more.
In conclusion, many families use violence to educate their children. It is not a good plan to educate, because spanking children can make them live in fear, it t is not good for children's health, and their personality might be changed. It is a serious thing. Just because of parents' action, children's life will change. So, parents should find a new plan to educate their children.

Lower the drinking age survey
1. Introduction
Do you drink? When did you start to drink? Should people who are under 18 years old drink alcohol? What do you think? Alcohol is not good for our bodies. It can cause some diseases such as liver cancer and gastric cancer. Teenagers know these facts, but they still drink. This problem is very serious in the society because drinking has a bad effect on not only drinkers but on those around them. In "Alcohol use by persons under the legal drinking age of 21" the author states that boys are mostly drinking more than girls, and the 12 to 21 age group had the highest rate of past month alcohol use(2008). Therefore, many teenagers drink a lot of alcohol, and boys generally drink more. For teenaers, drinking is bad for them; also, it is bad for the neighborhood. When their mind is not clear, they cannot control themselves. As a result, they could lose their health, friends, or studies.
2. Purpose
Our group wanted to know how people feel about under-age drinking. I wanted to know when people started drinking. Also, I wanted to know when teenager drink, what would happen, and whether it is dangerous. Moreover, I wanted to know how internationals feel about drinking, but we deuded only to ask Americans.
3. Hypotheses
I had three hypotheses about drinking. First, most males will say they drink more than females. Next, people will say that too much drinking is a problem in Carbondale. Third, many people will say they think that the drinking age should be lowered.
4. Methods and Procedures
Each member in our group was to ask six people who are different genders, and ages in Carbondale to get a different opinion. We asked mostly SIUC students. We got 49 responses, 25 males and 24 females. We wanted to know how they feel about drinking. We had a survey paper. It had 9 questions about drinking. Those questions were yes or no and short answer. It was easy for them to answer the questions.
5. Data
http://eap1.blogspot.com/2008/02/practice-survey-results_27.html
6. Results
Actually, eight out of twelve(67%) started drinking at 18-20 years old, and thirty-two out of thirty-six (88%) started drinking at over 20 years old. Twenty-two out of twenty-five males (88%) drink, and nineteen out of twenty four females (79%) drink. At age 13 to 15, 12% of males started drinking, and 16% of females started drinking. At age 16 to 18, 36% of males started drinkig, and 45% of females started drinking. At age 19 to 20, 44% of men and 25% of women started drinking. As a result, women started earlier than men. Four out of twenty (12%) people who are over 20 said that too much drinking is problem in Carbondale. 33% of 18 to 20 year olds and 30% of people who are over 20 said he drinking age should be lowered.
7. Conclusion and Discussion
I believed that men drank more than women. It is true, because our survey showed that men's number is higher than women's. I was surprised that 16% of females started drinking at age 13 to 15. Also, I was surprised that females begin drinking earlier than males, because I thought boys were more interested in drinking than girls. Many people said too much drinking is not a problem in Carbondale. The sunvey showed 84% of people said too much drinking is not problem. I believed that many people say they think that there should be a lowered age for drinking, but it is not true, because 69% of people said the age should not be lowered.
Drinking is a problem for teenagers. Based on the results, people don't agree with lowering the drinking age. Younger people will do some crazy things. If I do this survey next time, I will ask more teenagers. I want to know how they feel, and how they think about drinking. Some of our survey's results could not be used because some respondents are mot drinkers. So, next time I would like to ask just drinkers.

Drinking age
Many people have different opinions about what age is approprate for drinking. Some people say people who are under 21 years old also can drink. Some people say no, it is terrible. As American citizens, they can do everything at age 18, but just cannot drink (Clesen, 2002). When 18-year-olds drink, it might be very dangerous for everybody, because they cannot control themselves (Mulcaney, 2002). At this age, they should study hard. They cannot think clearly when they play.
When people can drink at 21 years old, it is good for everybody. When 18-year-olds drink, it is dangerous to them and we also are in danger. At that age, people often drive after drinking and alcohol is very unhealthy for people under 21 years old.
First, younger people always drive when they are drinking. For example, when a teenager goes to a party, he finishes the party and should go home. He was drinking a lot of alcohol. His head is not clear. So, while he is going home, he might have a traffic accident, because he was drinking, and could feel sleepy. His concentration will go down. He may be sleeping, when he drives. Those are big problems. Drinking can kill him; it also can kill other people. A 19-year-old girl, according to the Daily Herald, drank about 21 beers. She collided with two people (Mulcahey, 2002). After drinking, driving is dangerous for the person himself and others.
Second, alcohol is very unhealthy for people who are under 21 years old. Teenagers have not finished growing. For example, there are teenagers. One is never drinking, and the other is sometimes drunk. Now they may not be different, but they might have some difference in a few years, for example, one is short, and the other is tall. One's memory is bad, another's is good. If you drink early,, it could make your growth late. Alcohol can demolish your growth hormone.
Opponents say that people who are under 21 years old should be able to drink. It is wrong, because teenagers drive after drinking and it is very unhealthy for them. People in this age group think they can decide about their lives. When their mind is clear, they can decide about their lives. If their mind is not clear, they do not know what are they doing. The U.S.A. and my country have some difference. For example, in my country 18-year-old teenagers can drink, because if they are drinking, they can use public transportation. American people mostly drink outside. In my country, they should drink inside. Nobody goes outside, but here it is free. No one cares about it. Why in my country does no one say they should stop selling alcohol to teenagers? The answer is, they do not have their own car. They should use bus or taxi. So, they cannot make accidents. My country is safer than here. If American teenagers want to drink, they can go to China to drink, because they should use public transportation in China.
In conclusion, today we have a dispute about what age is fit to drink. Drinking is not bad, but for teenagers it is not good. They do not know how to control how much they drink, or what quantity is fit. If teenagers drink beer, then they drive. It can take their life. Their growth is not finished. So, if they drink a lot of alcohol, it will make a disease. Not drinking is good for them. We should think about this problem.

Traffic accidents
Many people use a car every day. A car gives us convenience in our lives, but it also makes us dangerous. Traffic accidents make many people die. It is very sad. Just because of accidents, many families lose their loved family members. If they take care a little bit, they maybe can survive. Three causes of accidents are young people want high speed, people drink before driving, and they make a telephone call while driving.
First, young people want high speed. In the United States, 16-year-old teen can get driver's licenses. The young people do not know what is dangerous. They want to do everything at their own pleasure. For example, when a teen drives a car with his friends, another car may go faster than them. They do not want to lose, so they have a car race. It can cause an accident.
Second, people drink before driving. Many people have more stress, so they find a solution to deal with stress. For example, now we have more chances go to parties. Parties are good, but at the party we might drink a lot of alcohol. After the party, people go home driving their cars. Their head is not clear. It could be very dangerous.
Finally, they make telephone calls. Many people think they are skilled in driving, so they make a telephone call when they drive. When they talk with other people on the telephone, it could break up their concentration. If a driver is distracted, and suddenly a deer comes into the road, he might be unable to react.
In conclusion, many accidents are caused by young people who want high speed, and before they drive, they drink alcohol. Also they make a telephone calls when they drive. We should find a solution to this. We should follow traffic morality.

Parties are good, but at the party we might drink a lot of alcohol. After the party, people go home driving their cars. Their head is not clear. It could be very dangerous.
Finally, they make telephone calls. Many people think they are skilled in driving, so they make a telephone call when they drive. When they talk with other people on the telephone, it could break up their concentration. If a driver is distracted, and suddenly a deer comes into the road, he might be unable to react.
In conclusion, many accidents are caused by young people who want high speed, and before they drive, they drink alcohol. Also they make a telephone calls when they drive. We should find a solution to this. We should follow traffic morality.

screaming for stress relief
The Associated press (2007, Dec 12) in this article, "College students screaming for stress relief," explains how the university students fight with stress. At Northwestern University they have a tradition about in the cold night wearing jeans and sweats and standing outside. Other school also do this. In Boston they have an annual nude run. At Santa Clara University in California, when students are on break time, they go to a warehouse to jump on trampolines or play dodge ball with kids. Evan Sarkisian said, when she goes back, she should type a paper, but it makes her relax. NYU offers midnight breakfast to students. It is not just a game or fun, it can help students deal with stress. The experts agree that taking a little time to have a fun game is healthy.

CASH FLOW
In Ed Ewing and Rachel Jasper’s (2005) article, “Cash flow not debt causes student stress, scientists told,” they explain that university students worry about day-to-day money. Dr. Scott presents students' loan, and stress every year. He asked 268 students about how much they borrow. The result is that it is not because of a dull market or their loans. He proposed that students should understand how to control their own money before going to school, and tutors should teach students how to use the university’s money management services. Helen Crevel agreed that university’s money management services is a problem and you spend money every day. Laura Whelan also said it is bad thing and it was a progress from her life.
