Reflection #2

 

Everyone is ambitious, and ambition of human is positive to develop ourselves for the best, and must be responsible for ourselves and our business and our lives, so that we can begin to change must be our strength, determination and patience and we have to trust our abilities, and so that we can be changed writings for the better if we learn new skills to write in a good writing. In the LSC 1003 course the teacher helped us in a various ways to develop our writing skills where he sought to motivate in the easy ways to make it easier for us to write any topics. Through these methods, I was surprised of the great development and positive in my writing. We all know the importance of writing and it adds other experiments to us, and whatever was said that the writing process has evolved and turned into electronic form through modern appliances, including the Internet, the writing still retains its value and its relationship to own human beings, and it even if we turned to write into a second form that is in electronic writing. Therefore, writing is an important in our scientific and practical life now and in the future. I think what I have learned through LSC 1003 course is to improve my writing and also we can add other ways for the development of writing skills in the future such as to read newspaper, magazine or story on a daily basis as the practice of reading and the practice is very necessary not only to inspire what you want to type or are looking for, but in the learning and the search for ideas and the sources that you will use during the writing of the subject and other things. Read here as possible to be the source of your writing and determine which method that you will write it and see other writers in their writing also help to improve your style. Consequently, reading Principal Assistant enables you to write.

In conclusion, I really love LSC 1003 course and the most thing that l learn is when  we exchange of innovative ideas with my colleagues in the class this will lead to create a pool of talent in different idea ,especially with different gender  and this is my first experiment that I work with the boys.

Story Of Stuff Essay2#

1.     Introduction

Toxic pollution occurs when synthetic chemicals are discharged and this causing   to damage human health. To save our health from toxic pollution is too significant a role to be left to all people. The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard (2007) is an interesting story which tells us how the whole stuff system works through five processes which are extraction, production, distribution, consumption and disposed and what to do about this problem.

 

 

2.     Extraction

The first stage that mentioned in the Story of Stuff is extraction. Extraction means exploitation of natural resources such as wood, minerals, coal, fossil fuel, water, planets, animals, and soil  and taken out of the earth and starting their journey through the materials economy. According to studies by health organizations around the world, the proportion of disease increased in the people who living near the mining, oil and gas sites and these diseases are asthma, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases, liver failure, cancer and other diseases.

 

3.     Production

The second stage that mentioned in the Story of Stuff is production. In the production companies add energy and chemicals to natural resources to produce things. This will cause air pollution, which is harmful to human health and the environment. According to the statistic in USA, industry admits to releasing over 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals a years, pollution which disproportionately impacts low income communities and communities of colors. “With just 5 percent of the world’s population, we’re consuming 30 percent of the world’s resources and creating 30 percent of the world’s waste. If everyone consumed at U.S. rates, we would need three to five planets”. (Leonard, A, 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

4.     Distribution  

 

The third stage that mentioned in the Story of Staff is distribution. Distribution means the process of making the product, sale and transfer of all the products quickly and cheaply. The goal of this process is to keep the largest number of consumers in the commercial market. Distribution processes need energy to export products around the world. Energy that the transportation uses is fossil fuels. However, there are negative effects of using fossil fuels. The main issue of using fossil fuel is increasing greenhouse gases. This will cause the hole in the ozone layer. This means that will affect the environmental and human health. Consequently, government around the world should encourage people to use renewable energy to reduce to reduce co2 emissions, which is the main cause of increase gas on the air.

 

5.     Consumption

The fourth stage mentioned in the Story of Stuff is consumptions. Consumption is the heart of the system engine that drives it which is the foundation of the economy that represents the relationship between income and consumption.Consumption rates are increasing and with more people using more resources and energy, and creating more waste, consequently, this will lead to burning waste with more pollution in the air. As a result, release more gases which increase the temperature on the earth. Therefore, people who consume a lot must be changing their behavior to stop this issue.

 

6.     Disposed 

 

The fifth stage mentioned in the Story of Stuff is disposal. There are large pounds of garbage in all houses around the world. According to the statistics that Annie analyzes, (2008), the United States makes 4.5 pounds of garbage a day and all landfills eventually leak which is just a big hole in the ground to burn all these waste. Burning waste pollutes the air, land and water also releases potent greenhouse gases which lead to global warming on the Earth. So disposal means all materials economy that is disposed in the waste incinerators. One main solution that can be solved is recycling materials. This will reduce the emissions gases around the air.

 

 

7.     Consumerism in the UAE 

The UAE had the second-biggest jump among the 10 Middle-Eastern countries included in the survey to the research by firm YouGov and the jobs website Bayt.com, therefore, the cost of living increased and the consumers in the UAE are expected to spend more out of their pockets this year and in the next few years. (Ligaya, A, 2009)The electronics market is more consumed by the UAE’s consumer. According to the Dubai Chamber analysis, that UAE sales of consumer electronics are predicted to rise from US$ 3.14 billion in 2011 to US $3.97 billion by 2015.(UAE DEMAND FOR CONSUMER ELECTRONICS TO REMAIN ROBUST,2013)

 

 

8.     Conclusion   

 In conclusion, people now know what causes the effects on their planet through Story of Stuff video by Annie Leonard. Therefore, people and government should stop this issue from happening to the next generation. Therefore, with lower demand by the population, consumption will be less, resources will be used less too and toxics will lessen too. Finally, the planet can be safe.

Solar Energy Essay#1

Introduction

The sun is the main source of energy on the planet earth and it can be found everywhere on earth. From this source human created the fire a thousand years ago. However, now there are many things that people uses from this source such as electricity. In this day there are many source that people use today to generate electricity, but many people feel that when others forms of energy are exhausted or become too environmentally costly, solar power will replace them. Solar power or solar energy is the transformation of sunlight into electricity. Therefore, solar power is the most important source of renewable energy that the people use today. As a result of this, there are many countries that went for the exploitation of solar energy as one of the most important sources of alternative energy than oil and gas. There are two ways to convert solar energy into electrical either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power. For example the countries which are using concentrated power are Spain and United States. While the other country which is using photovoltaic is India.

History

The first person who discovered the idea to create electricity from solar energy was Alexandre Edmond Becquerel. In 1839 this French scientist built the world’s first photovoltaic panel at the young age of 19.

 

Development

There are many countries that faced difficulties of using traditional energy sources from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas and the most important problems they faced from using fossil fuel are increasing prices of fossil fuel and the worst effects of global climate change like increased average temperatures. As a consequence, there are many countries and companies developing renewable energy sources and new technologies to generate electricity as opposed to fossil fuel; for example, renewable energy sources such as solar power, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric. Despite the diversity of renewable energy sources, the most important source is solar energy for generating electricity. There are many benefits of using solar power. One of the main advantages of solar energy is environment friendly energy because the lack of pollution and clean renewable when generating electricity. Moreover, solar energy can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the importance of preserving future generations. Also it can be used every day and everywhere in world and the Arab region has the highest solar radiation in the world.

Modern developments

The Shams site is the world’s largest solar power plant to generate electricity and the price of this is $ 600 million to generate electricity in more than 20,000 houses in the UAE (wam. 2013). Shams is located in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi and it will produce 100 MW of power to generate electricity to all houses on the United Arab Emirates. His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan said during his inauguration at Shams 1 concentrated solar power plant in Western Region Abu Dhabi, “An outstanding achievement’ in terms of the UAE’s vision to diversify its economy and sources of energy” (wam. 2013). In addition the President said, “Expanding our leadership into renewable sources of power demonstrates the commitment of the United Arab Emirates to maintaining its position as a major provider of energy” (ibid.). The idea for ​​the development of this project is to reduce the CO2 emissions and to diversify the economy and energy sources.

Conclusion

In conclusion, however, the cost of production of kilos / h from using solar energy is still high but this type of electrical power is the candidate is one of the most important sources of relatively cheap energy in the future. We should not be surprised in the future if we saw Shams Abu Dhabi illuminate many cities and occupy public facilities and economic institutions in other countries.

Reflection#1

I enjoy in the course when the teacher discusses on the subject and he tries to help us to understand what we need to understand. Firstly, I like the way that teacher gives us in summarize the topic and how we can write about this topic in an easy way .This way helping us to know a new word and easy to write any subject in the future. Through this experience, the most obvious thing that I discovered was my writing improved drastically. Second, on my feeling I think the most boring is when I read, because I hate reading I know reading is very useful to pick information and improve my knowledge but finally that I was feeling. The only thing that it was difficult at first is work in new technology because I don’t have any idea about how I will work in website like Gmail. But from this point I challenged myself to work hard and used Gmail in daily. From this experience will help me without any difficulties when my teacher requests us to put my writing in Blogger. I like this idea when work in new technology. I hope to use this way in the future.

In conclusion, I love this course also I learned a lot of things like new words and new information from reading topic. I really want this teacher to teach us in next semester. Thanks to the teacher for helping us in this course.

Summary2-Final

Houbara Bustards

There are many kind of birds but in the Atlas Mountains  of Morocco they have a lot of Houbara Bustards. Also Houbara Bustards live in North Africa but these numbers of the birds have degreed .The reason of that is over hunting and destruction of the dry grasslands where the birds live. Abu Dhabi government is the center to produce more than 60,000 of the birds, starting 2006. When we see in Moracco there are many plans for future that they need to increase the number of the birds from 12,000 to 15,000 of birds per season. Birds like humans when use destined for breeding. The best time for Houbara Bustard to breed is spring and at the two centers is a busy time for staff. On spring or autumn the birds live in stretches of land. Because of this land is used for hunting so they should to protect breeding birds. 65% of the birds remained after one year. Technology like radio and satellite transmitters that the scientists using for birds to see what happen to the birds after they are released. If we measured the density in the wild and observing the number of nets then programme is working.

Summary 1 -Final

Preserving Emirate Traditions

Many of the traditional Emirate sports are being ignored by inhabitants and awareness must be supported to preserve such sports like falconry, Arabian Saluki hunting, dhow racing and others in Bedouin culture. Emirates national identity must be shown to all people coming to the country. Airports are good places to start to reflect the Emirati heritage and culture. Educational methods, schools and universities are part of the problem as most instructors are expatriate and do not care about Emirates traditions. The traditional sports came in the old days, all animals are still exist and the new generation must get benefits of them in order to keep the past alive for the future. Because of technology and internet, young people are not aware of their tradition, and in order to keep them aware we need to teach them from birth. Traditional practices can be merged in the recreational sports like beauty contests and racing competitions.
