For and against essay: SHOULD PEOPLE BE ALLOWED TO HAVE COSMETICS SURGERY BEFORE THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN?

Between the years of 2000 thought 2008 cosmetic surgery has become one of the latest trends all around the world, nowadays cosmetics surgeries are so common in teenagers, some men are having this but it’s not that popular than it is in women. Actually there are a variety of cosmetics surgeries from bosom’s surgery to face’s reconstruction surgery. Some people have them just because vain, look better, participate in a beauty’s reign, but others have them not just for vain, instead because they must, maybe because they have an illness, problems in their faces, bodies, etc. It is certainly true that the press now has glorified the profession of being a model, consequently over the last few years, many young girls dream of becoming professional models even just like boys want to be soccer players.

One point in favour of having an early cosmetic surgery is that it can help young people feel and develop better when they have a terrible complex about certain parts of their body or they have suffered an accident. Another reason that people choose to have cosmetic surgery is that they feel that they are not in proportion with their body. Some women for example feel like their breasts are not in proportion with their bodies either too small or too big. Some men and women feel that their nose is too big, ears stick out too much, lips are too small and the list goes on. Feeling that one or more parts of your body is not quite right can be very uncomfortable and this is why many people have cosmetic surgery in order to feel right within themselves.

A point against having a cosmetic surgery before the age of eighteen it’s basically that a teenager's body is still undergoing development, and for any teenager to decide that something is not correct, even if it has not finished its growing, maybe an incorrect way to do things. Too many teenagers have chosen cosmetic surgery and in most cases like anything else associated with teenage life it comes down to socialized patterns. A teen who has plastic surgery done to look like a movie star, is only doing it in order to fit into a crowd that they would not have fit into to begin with. This may also lead to further emotional scars as that teenager grows older and wonders if the operation was a good choice. Teenagers are obsessed with how they look and how others perceive them. No matter how much they change, they will never be perfect in their own mind's eye. So what it really comes down to is that teenagers just may not be emotionally able to decide appropriately as to whether or not a procedure should take place. Also, deaths in cosmetic surgery have reached an all time high; for instance, complications in liposuction have recently taken the lives of different women around the world.

Cosmetic surgery has come a long way in this society and it has become a part of the American lifestyle. If it continues, not only will the deaths of innocent patients increase but also the money problems, infections and need for the surgeries. From my point of view, people shouldn’t be allowed to have cosmetic surgery before the age of eighteen, firstly at this age people are not mature enough to know what they really want to be and which the surgery consequences could be. Secondly aesthetics standards are created by fashion industry, for this reason, tens of girls die every year from anorexia or related causes. On the other hand pretending to be physically perfect according to fashionable standards, is really a goal for making people unhappy.

On the other hand, in my opinion cosmetic surgery on people underage who have an illness or have something wrong on their body should be allowed, should be a way to help people live or feel better, nevertheless it shouldn’t be a way to provide physical changes according to fashionable standards.

In conclusion people must take a decision about having cosmetic surgery after being eighteen. Getting a phycological balance and a mature personality are really more important things.

CAUSE - EFFECT ESSAY ::: REMARKABLE INVENTION

Fascinating facts about the invention of the INTERNET

The World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The Internet is a worldwide network of thousands of computers and computer networks. It is a public, voluntary, and cooperative effort between the connected institutions and is not owned or operated by any single organization. In early 1996, the Internet interconnected more than 25 million computers in over 180 countries and continues to grow at a dramatic rate.
Internets are formed by connecting local networks through special computers in each network known as gateways. Gateway interconnections are made through various communication paths, including telephone lines, optical fibers, and radio links. Additional networks can be added by linking to new gateways. Information to be delivered to a remote machine is tagged with the computerized address of that particular machine.
Once addressed, the information leaves its home network through a gateway. It is routed from gateway to gateway until it reaches the local network containing the destination machine. Internets have no central control, that is, no single computer directs the flow of information. This differentiates internets from other types of online computer services, such as CompuServe, America Online, and the Microsoft Network.


Causes:
After the Scientifics had finished this amazing invention they had to do a numbers of demonstrations made of the technology, such as the first three-network interconnection demonstrated in November 1977.
The Internet or the World Wide Web was made because everyone wanted an interconnection of computer networks that enables connected machines to communicate directly and available to the public. In the same way the goal of computer communications was to provide schools, libraries, businesses, and homes universal access to quality information that will educate, inform, and entertain.

Effects:
The Scientifics have done the Internet a simple way of communication; make much quickly the life in terms of business, friendships, culture’s share, study, learning, etc.
With the Internet you can communicate and know people all over the world just sitting in front of your screen and typing, immediately the letter or the message will given to the recipient computer and you could chat at the moment without interferences or delay.
Even though computer interaction is in its infancy, it has dramatically changed our world, bridging the barriers of time and distance, allowing people to share information and work together. Evolution toward the Information Superhighway will continue at an accelerating rate. Available content will grow rapidly, making it easier to find any information on the Internet. New applications will provide secure business transactions and new opportunities for commerce. New technologies will increase the speed of information transfer, allowing direct transfer of entertainment-on-demand.

VIDEO::: THE INTERNET, AN EXTRAORDINARY INVENTION

This is a video about the invention of world wide web by Tim Berners Lee. You can have a general idea of this extraordinay inventions that take place all over the world and hepl every single person to make the comunication, businnes and life easier to change the way we live now!!!

VIDEO: MARIE CURIE'S LIFE

I suggest you to whatch this 2 videos that you can find them in the video bar. The first video call "Biography of Marie Curie - Skladowska" this video show some interesting things of Marie Curie's life, we can do a general idea of what she did, and know a little bid of how was her husband death, what she did, how she went ahead... (The video doesn't have sound, so its only for reading!!)
The second one call "Marie Curie 1867 - 1934 and Radioactivity Research" is a very short video, you can see in it the moment when a man is given Marie a medal, or some recognition for her work, her discover (the radioactivity).

VIDEO: ALBERT EINSTEIN'S LIFE

Have a look at the video in the video bar call "LIFE OF ALBERT EINSTEIN - Part 1". This video is very interesting because is such a complement with Albert Einstein's biography. In it is showed his life since he was so young and every important part of it. Talks about everything he did, thought, created and invented, his family, and all he hate and love!

COMPARE - CONTRAST ESSAY

BIOGRAPHIES ALBERT EINSTEIN AND MARIE CURIE
















In this speech I’m going to talk about Albert Einstein’s and Marie Curie’s life. An extraordinary people who left a legacy that we should never forget.

As I can see, they have lots in common, they both were born more or less in the same century, the XVI century, they love science, they were interesting people around the world whom left a legacy although they were from a very poor families, they could grown up thanks of their intelligence and strong character. They were bound to all they did and never fell down.
At first some people were against of them but both based on their knowledge they achieve their gold’s. With a strong behaviour they never gave up, were absolutely brilliant people, both contributed with the world science thanks for their theories.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, while Marie Curie was born in Warsaw. Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. Marie Curie after her husband death, she took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences, was the first time a woman had held this position. Her early researches, together with her husband, were often performed under difficult conditions, laboratory arrangements were poor and both had to undertake much teaching to earn a livelihood. The discovery of radioactivity in 1896 inspired the Curies in their brilliant researches and analyses which led to the isolation of polonium Curie developed methods for the separation of radium from radioactive residues in sufficient quantities to allow for its characterization and the careful study of its properties, therapeutic properties in particular. In the other hand, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work. The importance of Marie Curie's work is reflected in the numerous awards bestowed on her. She received many honorary science, medicine and law degrees and honorary memberships of learned societies throughout the world. 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity.
