body2 for economy

Body2:


Our environment worldwide is being damaged every day so that gets problems to the environment. There are many bad of actions people have done that has huge destruction on the environment. For example, pollution and acid rain. As we know ,the most consumptive in the world is human .As a result, that means too much rubbish absolutely will affect on the nature . According to the young people, each household in Britain produce 1 tons of rubbish every day.Therefore,most of these craps is taken away by buried and this can be dangerous for the natural environment .in addition, the people from different country think about this problem and try to solve by recycling the rubbish to use it again. According to the students at the zayed university s ,many students prefer recycle than brined the rubbish at (18,2 students respectively) because they think the recycle reduce our rubbish and gets benefits from it by made up a new large resources after we will not use it again. Also, the people usually increase the amount of pollution when the use car. In my own experience, the developed country has more than three private cars in the one house so that mean the surrounding of this house or the area will be more polluted and spread unclear air. people should use 1 car instead of 3 cars because the people will be more healthy without illnesses and smoke ;on the other hand, the people have to use public transport either walk in the short place to conserve the environment(8,8 students in order).that means they try to use transport has few impact on the environment.However,when people affect on the environment they also impact on the animals such as extinction of thousands of species animals,.Accoding to the http://www.endangeredspecie.com/, The blue whale is classified as an endangered species due to a reduction of at least 50% of the blue whale population over the last three generations. On the other word, there are dramatically decrease in the number of blue whale. Reaction of people about what are they actually doing become dangerous because they hurt themselves firstly, by getting illness then animals suffer from it Intel they become extinct .

after edit introduction of ecology

introduction of ecology



When we think about ecology, the first thing we consider about it is people. People consume more than what they actually need. Nowadays, The ecology is one of the most important part of life and it studies life whatever the details. For example ,how does people, animals and plants affect each other with their environment. Also, the ecology constitutes the main thing to keep our life, such as food and different relationship in the habitat. The major points that I will discuss about are firstly, what does the ecological footprints mean. Secondly, how people are judged and think about environment problems. Thirdly, I will discuss the acts of people in their environment and what are they actually doing in their real environment. Before we discuss about these points will explain what does footprint mean? .According to the Schaller, the footprint means The amount of productive land and water needed to support the production of resources we consume and absorb the wastes we create can be considered our ecological footprint. That means all resources when we consume or use thing led to make ecological footprint .while, “The ecological footprint define as a resource accounting tool that helps countries understand their ecological balance sheet and gives them the data necessary to manage their resources and secure their future” (Global Footprint Network).that means it is very significant because it makes our life easier and reaches us to high standard life.

body 2 ecology

Body 1:

There are many views of writers who are believe the developed countries or rich country are responsible about affect on the environment footprint in; On the other hand, the other authors consider the poorer countries or developing countries are caused about what does happen in the environment. As we live, Many people are consumed a lot of resources to keep going in their lifestyle even they developed country. People in America and other developed nations have a much larger impact on the environment than people in developing nations such as India (Schaller).on the other word, the number of the factors and smoke car increase in the rich countries so that will contribute to affect on the environment or nature. in fact, when the developed counties such as (western Europe, Canada and Japan) consume many resources more than what they require that thing. As the result, the waste or crap in these countries becomes more than in poorer nations. According to the Schaller, The average North American lifestyle requires almost 10 acres of ecologically productive lands to supply its resources and absorb its wastes. That means, the ecological demand large land to put their craps and it is a huge rubbish which may affect seriously on the environment. In addition, the population in American is 5% but the Americans consume 20% to 40% recourses(huber). .they use too much resources so they are polluted their environment ;however, another writer believe that the main factor which affects on the environment is poorer nation. It is obvious that rich country is affected on the environment whereas the poorer country has the same effection. In the developing area of the world, the people use resources as much as they have .moreover, they consume little while they are destructive and wasteful. According to the Huber says ,poor nation produce more pollution and use up more land. That happens in this nation because they a lack of the protection place to reduce the pollution. The developing countries depend on the wood as main fire while this wood has enormous impact on the nature and led to make bad habitat.

final essay2

1-Define what is meant by ‘national identity’ and discuss how the media may contribute to both the preservation and the destruction of national identity. Give examples from at least three countries that you have read about.




Have you ever been asked by someone “what is your identity”?!. The answer absolutely “yes” and you are very proud because of your national identity. In these days, we hear many people say “we have to keep our identity” or “developing our identity is developing our country”. However, we have never asked ourselves why do we stick to our identity. Unquestionably, identity has been the most significant thing in tribes’ lives either in the past or these days. In addition, there are many things that affects identity positively or negatively such as media that may preserve or destroy the national identity . Thus, the main questions I have to argue in this essay are, what is the meaning of identity and how the media can impact on the identity positively or negatively.




What does identity mean?.In the past, Stalin has five definitions for a nation that can explain something about identity(Stalin, 2006).First of all, he admitted that the nation is a historical group of people who live together, and it is not depend on tribal or racial factors(Stalin, 2006). However, he said that even if there are people came from different groups of people, This doesn’t mean they are a nation because they have to be a stable group of people. Secondly, he also, said the language that is very common could be one of the nation’s features. On the other hand, it could be there two or more nations speak the same language, but they are not considered as one nation. So, there is should be another factor beside the language, and it is the common territory. A nation will not be a nation unless the people have the same territory and live on it generation after generation. The forth definition was about “ economic life” and how it is important. Finally, he added that “psychological make-up” or “national character” is something that we cannot ignore even if it is intangible because it is obvious in the common culture. These five definitions give us more details about what is identity. “It is only when all these characteristics are together that we have a nation”(Stalin, 2006). Finally, I could say that many people believe that when we have these characteristic we’ll have identity, when we have a nation we’ll have national identity.




After giving the definition of identity we should recognize what are the things that affect this identity. As we all know, media has been the main effective and serious factor in our life. There are positive contributions of media for national identity as there are negative contributions. In positive way, the media can save or protect our tradition. In fact, we can keep it by having traditional media. For example, “T.V programs” can protect our tradition by traditional programs such as “nostalgia for a bygone series” – series that show people pre-oil when their lives were hard but they worked together and supported each other–(Holes, 2005) . This kind of series gives us traditional values that make us behave well and endure our hard life as our grandparents did. Moreover, we have “traditional magazines” that also contribute positively to our tradition. The second good contribution of media is protecting our language or traditional dialect. There has been many Gulf musalsalat ( series ) since 1980s(Holes, 2005). The language of those series were in a local dialect such as in Kuwaiti soaps that were imported in Oman in 1980s(Holes, 2005) . This local dialect is the protector of our traditional language. Until now, we still have these musalsalat that speak our traditional language. For instance, “musalsal FREEJ” that launched in September 2006 ( About FREEJ )(Al Mahmoud, 2006). many young and old people like this 3D animation which makes them try to imitate the characters especially young children. By this imitation, people can strengthen their language and this is what we mean by protecting our traditional language. These are some of media’s benefits for our identity.





Essentially, the media can give us many benefits. However, there are many negative contributions of it. This contribution includes both behavior and language. Initially, although we said that we can keep our tradition behavior by media, it can also destroy it. For instance, the big effect of western media on Arab countries. Nowadays, the Arabian people have started to behave like western people with a immense ignorance of their traditional life. They say it is globalization. However, it is not. We can say it is a destruction of identity. Additionally, some bad media leads to having a lot of bad people in the country .For example, increasing the number of smokers in Egypt(Islam SM, Johnson CA., 2007). Also, media can increase the violence among young Canadian children(Public Health Agency of Canada).Secondly, the language also could be damaged by media. For instance, because of the addiction to watch USA or foreign movies including young Emirati people, their language has been changed such as using English words in their own speech like “yes”, “no”, “please” and “thanks”. This means we lose our identity language whereas we have to keep it. Finally, it is very important to keep our behavior and language to save our identity.




In conclusion, national identity is that thing which requires many things to be defined. According to the five nation definitions that stalin put, we could understand something about national identity. Without a historically constituted, stable group of people, common language, territory, economic life and common national character, we will not have a nation and a national identity. At the side of this, there are many influences of media in national identity whether positively or negatively. Positively, it can save our traditional behavior and language. Negatively, it could destroy the identity by rising the bad behavior or spreading foreign language in our culture. In my opinion, identity is something we have to be aware about it, and we must protect it from any danger.
