Essay Draft

In this essay I will discuss about wether we should combat Global Warming or learn to live with it. This is an important topic since global warming affects the whole world, so everyone should have his/her own opinion. I will look into arguments that are either for or against and get a conclusion based on this.
Firstly, some people argue that it isn't that big of a problem, and we should learn to live with it since carbon dioxide levels will rise anyway because of natural events, wether we want or not. They also state that no significant warming has occurred  since 1958. I'd like to counter this since even though those facts are true, Global Warming is still a fact and we should revert what we've done wrong. Also,  it doesn't really matter wether we caused carbon dioxide rises or not, it still is a fact and is damaging the environment. Scientists say that crops are being seriously damaged in some places, causing less production.

It's not worth combatting global warming, we should learn to live with it.


1st argument:
Suzanna Didier(UNKNOWN). General format. Retrieved from http://homeguides.sfgate.com/global-warming-affect-daily-life-78745.html

Global Warming is affecting everyone's lives, not only as a community but also as each person's daily routine. This article is an awesome example as how this happens in my opinion since you it explains the different areas where it affects.
For example, it affects the food price since global warming may damage crops sometimes, proceeding into less production. As another example we can see that fresh water is becoming scarcer in some regions. Scientists expect lake levels to drop as the climate continues to warm up, which also may affect it's price and availability.
As a conclusion, he believes the same that I do, it is clearly a big problem and we should not let it be, it's something worth combatting, he gives reasons and examples as how it could make our lives worse.

2nd argument(counter argument):

Dr. Ira Glickstein (2014, January 12). General format. Retrieved from http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/01/12/global-warming-is-real-but-not-a-big-deal-2/
I seem unable to understand his point of view. According to him(Anonymous), since global warming is mainly caused by natural events, global warming isn't that big of a problem.
Well, from what I can say it is our job to cover those problems. Imagine there is a forest fire. It may or may have not been caused by humanity, but that doesn't matter. Wether it is or isn't our cause it still affects our lives. Living with it by ignoring it will just end in worse. You can see how this is demonstrated by how crops price goes up because of global warming. Bad weather (caused by global warming) will result in less crops, less crops means higher prices and lower food.

Letter of protest

07 FiFi Alley

Valparaiso

H45SF4

Primer Minister David Cameron
Saint George David Cameron MP

JKT784

26 July 2014

Dear Mr. Cameron,

I am writing this to concern about what happened on 30 January 1972. Many peacefull protesters died that die, with no apparent reason. They weren't armed and we're shot with no apparent reason by civil officers.
I'd like to ask you to take action, since these civil officers were prosecuted and almost immediately left free.

Apparently, there were 26 civil right protesters who were shot, including teenagers. The public prosecution system stated that there needs to be more evidence(which is hard since this happened 38 years ago) but Lord Saville made a report about this, after a 12 year inquiry that was made public by 15 June 2010. This report contained information from more than 900 witnesses, 2500 written statements and 60 volumes of written evidence.

Another reason there is, is the fact that the soldiers started shooting giving no previous warning at all, they said nothing actually. They just shot. How can one not be aware that this is wrong?

It is because of these reasons that I'd like you to take legal acts and prosecute these soldiers. After all, we can't live peacefully in a world with people who abuse power by shooting on sight.

Your sincerely,

Christian Eilers

Technology Story

Sebastian always used his phone, no matter where he was neither what he had to do. One day he was in class and as always, using his phone. Sebastian never paid attention to class and had really bad grades.
One day, Sebastian was eating lunch with his family(while using his phone), and didn't listen to her mother tell him to either stop using the phone in class and get better grades or she would take away his phone, as everyone can tell, he just didn't listen.

After a couple weeks Sebastian grades weren't getting better and her mother went to talk to him and take away his phone. Sebastian had an impressed face after watching her mother taking away his phone from him and didn't quite understand the situation. His mother explained everything to him and he started crying out loud. After a couple of weeks Sebastian's grades started to get slightly better and her mother started thinking about giving him the phone back, though she wasn't so sure about it. Time passed and Sebastian became one of the best students in class, therefor his mother gave him his phone back, sadly this was her worst mistake. The story turned upside down.

Gladiator Screenplay

Commodus leaves the arena and goes inside to talk to one of his advisers. He is astonished after what happened.

Commodus: I can't believe what just happened! I have to do something about this.

Adviser: Sir, what you did was right. If you killed him they would've turned against you.

Commodus: But now they've noticed I'm no bigger than them! They'll soon turn against me anyway.

Adviser: You could kill him indirectly, pay someone to do the job.

Commodus: The information will leak after some time, but I like the idea of doing it indirectly.

Adviser: You could also make him fight 5 lions. There's no way he can get out of it alive.

Commodus: Awesome idea! I'll try that.

Commodus and Adviser leave the room.
