Drones 

 We are an advancing civilization, and new technology is part of our culture. The article "as police get drones, some get worried about privacy," Peter Finn, inform us that the drone technology which was invented for special missions such as warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, now drones are becomes a domestic law enforcement tool.  regarding the benefits of the drone technology, police should have drones as long as they are used for many peaceful and safe purposes such as hostages situations, smugglers pursuits and illegal immigration, also drones are under human control. 

  Drones are under human control. they are not free thinking robots; they are just advanced remote control planes, where you don't have to risk a pilot's life. just because drones usually carry cameras does not mean that planes cannot do the same. the old saying " Guns don't kill people, the man behind the gun does." this applies to drones just as much: " drones don't spy on people, the person controlling the drone does."

   

    

Health

     Since the beginning of time there is something that we are always needed; Food, sustainable foods are healthier than industrial food because it proves our quality of life, it tastes better and is more nutritious. Studies have shown that eating sustainable food improves our mood. Second, if people eat only industrially-produced food, they will be not healthy and they spend more money on medical fees.

   Increasing sustainable food production results from concerned consumers making informed, responsible choice. By purchasing sustainable foods from local farmer or grocery store, we support the farmers who are raising food responsibly and actively encourage growth of a more sustainable food system. In addition, instead of giving money to industrial agriculture, we should give it to a sustainable farmer by baying foods directly at farmer's markets. 

  we should care to help sustainable foods farmer to promote personal health, sustainable farmers focuses on raising food that is healthy for consumers. Also, to promote public health by supporting sustainable producers, we are promoting farming practices that do not endanger public health. 

Separating High School Students into Classes by Gender

        Our experiences in school teach us more than just information from books, they prepare us for life after school and how to function as a productive members of society. with this in mind, I believe that high school students should not be separated into classes by gender  because of the social and psychological problems it can cause.

       First, high school student should attend mixed classes because it helps girls and boys learn how to socialize with each other.In jobs men and women work together, without the experiences of studying together, they would not be productive. For example, I do not have any sisters so going to school gave me the opportunity to learn about communicating with them. I did projects and home work with them. As a result I  learned to respect girls and understanding our differences.This knowledge had benefited me in my working life., without the social experiences of studying in the same classes,I would be in a great disadvantages in the working world today.

     Second, high school student should attend mixed classes because of the psychological problems that can cause later in life. In fact, men and women who didn't interact with each other in a daily basis, suffer with their partner's after marriage which usually leads to divorce. As an example, I had a friend who went to an all boys school and he did not have a chance to interact with girls on a daily basis. consequently he is afraid of girls, they were always a mystery to him. Moreover, when he finished school he did not know how to talk with girls and he had a lot of trouble dating. If he had a chance to interact with girls in a daily basis, he could have seen them as  normal people.

    In conclusion, I think coeducational schools can help to prevent problems with man and woman later in life. the only way to develop understanding is to interact students not to separate them.

Truman Show Syndrome

         Since the beginning of time people imagine things that aren't real. In the article "why people think they're living in a reality show," Colin Lecher states that sufferers of the "Truman Show" syndrome imagine a world where everyone is watching them, and people are convinced they are stars of an imaginary reality show.  Truman show syndrome, is a story which reflect to our culture, technology and mind. with that in mind, people have always imagined things that aren't real and it helps them in the future because it is a good incentive for being creative and less stressful.

       I think that people have always dreamed and imagined things they aren't real. As a human being, our brains are fascinated with the artificial and the unknown. It is a part of our brain functionality. Moreover, imagining things helps people avoiding stress. A lot of artists were not trusted when the came out with some of their ideas, and years later, these idea came to be very interesting. for example, "allegory of the cave" which presented by Plato as imagination, but in fact it is a truth and useful theory.  If they had never imagined anything, there would be no scientist or technological advancements in this world.

     Imaginations leads to a technological advancements that we use nowadays. A lot of inventors were ignored when they told people or companies about their imagination or new ideas. As an example, humans have dreamed of flying and tried to imitate the motion of birds, and have attempted to achieve it. If no one had dreamed about flying, the air plain would never exist. As a result, most of advancements in technology came up with imagination.

     I think that people have always imagined things that are not real, and actually it is better as long as they don't exaggerate on it. however, i believe that people who have  those delusions might have better behavior in a society.  

     

1. The Perfect World

Cristof creates what he considers a “perfect world” for Truman to live “happily ever after” (or at least as happily as possible).

Paragraph 1: How does Seahaven compare to your world in terms of family life, neighborhood life, work life, and leisure time?

Paragraph 2: Would you choose to live in Cristof’s world of Seahaven? Why or why not?

The Perfect World

Seahaven that Cristof has created for Truman is just a routine.I think it is similar to the life that i live in a daily basis. in term of family life when i use to live with them in my country, it was a routine, unless there were some exemptions such as sickness or something serious has occurred. But in case nothing happened to anyone in a family member, then we just continue living the same regular life every single day. also, neighborhood life is much more similar, I live in a building of three apartments occupied by three people whom i see every day or at least one of them and I ask the same question, "hello, how are you" then wish him to have a nice day, and he will answer the same"I am fine thanks", just like "the Truman show" when he tells his neighbors hello "In case that I don't see you..good afternoon, good evening, and good night."
In addition, concerning the work life is similar too. i wake up at 6 am in the morning, i take a train at 6:30 to be at work at 7 and start my daily routine. 

i don't think that i can live in Cristof's world because is full of lies, and it is all made up. if I chose to live in the Cristof's world, it means that i will have to live under his rules, and commandment by what he considered right and wrong for me, like "the Truman show." Moreover, choosing to live in Cristof's world means that I lose the right to get a job that i want, to love and marry a woman that i prefer, unless i get a permission from Cristof. In conclusion, I prefer to live in a real world by deciding on my own what is right and wrong for me, and assuming the consequences.

                                                               Individuals in Group


          According to Coral Tarris in  the article "Individuals in Group," individuals on their own think and act differently than they do in a group. In addition, there is a reason that influence the nature of group than the nature of individuals. Psychologists, by their experiment refer to this phenomenon as "diffusion of responsibility". the more people in a group, the less chances of help. people perform some tasks better when working on their own because they feel responsible and guilty  of what will happen, with uncomfortable conscience in the future. this essay will discuss the key reasons for my opinion in greater detail.

        First, the more people in a group the lazier each individual in it becomes. In another word, each individual in a group think the same way that other individuals think. As a result, no one can act or take a decision for help. For example, two years ago, my friend Said Kanoun, 25, was on his way to class at Long Island University when he saw a woman faint at the uptown R train platform at the Atlantic Ave. Many people saw her fall but no one had helped her he said. after a while he decided to jump down onto the tracks and help the unconscious woman. In addition, he added " In my head I am  thinking that someone will help her after I realize that I have to act ". 
      

    Second, Individuals on their own feels guilty or responsible of what will happen if they don't act. As the experiment states, students were seated in a room, as a staged emergency occurred: students on their own went out to report, but the students were sitting in a groups did not move. Furthermore, People who are alone when an accident occurs are more likely to depend on themselves, because they imagine if there is a victim they would be responsible or guilty for what happen. 

     In conclusion, people seems to disregard their own life from laziness. Even adults and professionals are guilty of this. this is the nature of human being, for that reason there are heroes in this world. however, i think that people should think and act the same way as in a group or by there own.

  

I Know the Truth, So Don't Bother me with Facts

According to the article "I know the truth, so don't bother me with facts" by Jeffrey Klugger which shows how human minds are changing regularly. also about a research made at "Ohio University", in which that study confirms that is easy to manage other point of view and what they believe in.I agree with Jeffrey Kluger about the idea that human being can change  

regularly. this essay will discuss the key reasons of my opinion in greater detail. 

      First, humans have a basic knowledge from their childhood which makes them reversing their opinion instead of thinking deeply. The media is one of the biggest issues and powerful instrument that can changes people's thinking. furthermore, the media can be in any place in the world that we can not be part of. For example, concerning the health of the president of my country "Algeria",I knew from the media that he doing well and he is capable to govern the country for another presidential term.Moreover, most of the people believe that the president is in full physical and mental health,in fact, people were deceived by the Algerian media, the president still sick. 

     second, most people deceive by rumors. rumors often grow because people want to know, so they make up some reasons according to their limited knowledge or benefits to spread rumors. Although, there are many proofs in front of us, we usually ignore to use our brains and to think deeply. As I mentioned before in the previous example about the Algerian president "Boutaflika", since the media confirm that he is in full physical and mental condition, however, I tried to convince my friends that he is still in a bad situation by the fact that he never show up in the TV about a year, after they realize by evidence that is truth, they change their minds.

     in conclusion, i feel that humans remain dupes and deceive by rumors and it will most likely intensify with the new advancements in media, however, we do have control over how to use our brains and establish a pattern of open communication that allows us to remain aware of what's being said.
