Teenagers smoke because actors do!!!

I got this article from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6625753.stm

“Did you even know that by smoking you will die earlier than what you were supposed to?” I was trying to console my friend who was only one year elder. Feeling that it looks cool to hold the cigarette in two fingers and elegantly lighting it using your swanky lighter would neither attract good girls
and most importantly good health. Smoking teenagers under the influence of Hollywood stars has become a major drift as well as a distress in the contemporary society. This affects the teen generation all over the globe, the Hollywood stars and the mortified parents of the smokers (teenagers).
In commonplace life we see scores of teens, standing or sitting on bikes stylishly smoking to act cool. However then do not know the future cost of such things which may possibly result in an “untimely death”. Thus the objective of the article is completely vindicated from the real life evidences and thus it is reasonable. We see boys getting addict to such things by the negative influences one of which being the actors in Hollywood. If this goes on then we are never going to see any more Einsteins or Newtons as this is widespread all over the world.
This is a shocking condition and I feel that action should be taken without more ado. Even though it is my personal opinion I am quite sure that the unfortunate parents of these trendy teens will be having the same thoughts. Considering the point of view of the manufacturers and film directors it is solely in their own private interest that they want to expose these products. They cannot just blight the teen for their prosperity! I know this situation as a very close friend of mine was trapped by this vicious net of smoking teenagers. I have seen his parents crying, scolding him but he won’t budge. I don’t want to be in his position. Even though I was not in his position it has had an equal effect on me as his parents. Being neutral also would give us the same feelings as those of these unlucky parents. The publisher clearly expresses his criticism of these stars, manufacturers and also the crew.
The solution mentioned in the article to ban smoking or to rate the films is perfectly suitable but as I am considering the perspective of the teenagers and as I am completely in support of it. I am a teenager who hates smoking and has seen no one smoking in his family. Maybe I have not considered the point of view of the film crew but still it is influential as I can hear my friends talking about how the actor looked “damn cool” while smoking. So I can firmly state that if smoking is not good for teenagers and thus all the sources of such negative influences must be banned as it affects the family greatly apart from the teens who turn about to be the scapegoats.

Racial bomb about to explode on children!!!

I got this article from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6594911.stm




Did you know that you cannot differentiate between Europeans, Americans and Africans by just looking at them? Then why is there racism? And why against children? You never know the intelligence of a boy by his skin colour! It is the thing that lies within which determines his ingenuity!!! Regrettably, it happens in schools in UK. This will have serious effects on the students who are not accepted, which may lead to their criminalizing or to serious conflicts in the world and even the world may lose some very brilliant young people who would have been present in them.
As it is said “Appearances may be deceiving”. I came to Singapore recently and being an Indian, I was vexed about racism and thus I have an idea how it would be like. But my qualms were inept. Racism reminds us of the great leaders in the past like Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Junior. Even though they were dark they made great things in the world and thus their name is a permanently lies in our memories.
I think that racism should be abolished and serious action must be taken against people who are trying to be racist. We have seen many leaders in the past who were ‘black’. The students who do not get education can be seen as criminals a few years later. I may lead to further conflicts in the world which is just what had happened in Germany. I am considering that only the whites are racist but there are also cases in which whites are discriminated against. Both should be stopped so that the earth will be the heaven that we dreamt of.
This is from the point of view of the black people only as it is one of my blind spots that I have not heard of much discrimination against the whites. There is enough evidence in our contemporary society and in the article and thus the stand is completely justifies. Even though the middle class whites are smarter; I believe that if some incentive is given to the blacks even they will work. Thus there should not be ethnic discrimination.
I know what racism is like because I have seen in it many places I know; to get the complete feeling of it you should be in their places. The author has tried to bring forward the problem of the blacks in UK. We can say that it is not their fault that they are black? They have the same body structure as the whites. I am an Indian who was afraid about racism while coming to Singapore. So, probably I understand the tribulations of he darker people thus I need to put myself in the place of a white guy who is discriminated against. But the article awakens us about the seriousness of the issue of racism and encourages us to deactivate the time bomb which may most likely explode if nothing is done against it. (498 words)
