Smoking

In the world there are many problems that are happening. Problems are happening in the societies affecting the people. Governments and authorities know about the problems that are happening in their own societies. Sometimes governments know what are the wrong things that are done by people in the society but they don’t do anything if they see they don’t need to take any action. Smoking is considered as a problem in many societies and it has the ability to cause many effects to people’s health and life.  (Culture, in many cases had already assimilated it into the native, both product, plant, and markets)

One of these problems it can be seen that is happening in many societies is smoking. Smoking began a long time ago which was during 5000Bc in shamanistic rituals. People not only smoke cigarettes they smoke different things like pipes and shisha.  In these days people are smoking for different reasons. The two types of people who are smoking are adults and teenagers. Adults usually are smoking because they have a lot of stress and are facing many problems which are financial, economic, unemployment and personal problems which are related to their marriage and other relationships. ("Why People Smoke." Health & Literacy Special Collection.  2013)

Usually, the general reasons that make the teenagers start smoking are they see it as a new thing to them so they feel very excited to try or they want to be like their friends and want to feel that they are welcome in their peer group at the same time. Also, teenagers in their homes when they watch adults who are their parents and other relatives smoking they think that smoking will make them mature. However, not all people are smoking because they have problems in their life or get affected by their friends. They believe that smoking makes them feel good. Others who are facing problems in their life think that smoking will make them relaxed and those who are working very hard think that if they smoke they will have more energy. (Cunningham, Matt. "Discovery Health "10 Reasons People Start Smoking"2013)

People who are not smokers must avoid smokers because it is dangerous for their health and they may get affected even if they don’t smoke. They may get affected because while they are sitting with smokers they will breathe the smoke that is coming out from the cigarettes which will have an effect on their health. Smoking is dangerous because it’s considered the main cause of lung cancer, diseases of the heart and respiratory system and it causes a premature death. In the United States there are more than 2.4 million deaths each year and 440,000 of these people died because of smoking. It is not necessary that all people will die because of smoking; there might be other reasons. ("Smoking & Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Disease).)

Smokers are facing health problems caused by smoking.These problems they are facing are related to their health. It lets the people feel that they are not able do many things. One of the things that people feel they are not able to do because of smoking is exercising. Each cigarette that people smoke includes many chemicals. Chemicals include many elements which have a serious effect on people’s bodies and health. There are two of these elements. They are called nicotine and tar. Nicotine is a drug that has the ability to affect the brain and other activities related to the muscles. It does not only affect brain and muscle. It has the ability to raise blood pressure and the heart. However, tar causes to have difficulty to breathe and it contains other chemicals that lead to cancer. ("Why Is Smoking Bad For You?." Medical News Today: Health News. 2013.)

Many people in the world want to avoid smoking. In the beginning as it is known people will face many difficulties to quit smoking. There are useful ways that if smokers do they will be able to get rid of smoking. Usually, people put off many things to smoke a cigarette. In this way they can delay smoking and be busy in doing other things until they get used to it. Another way it may be useful to quit smoking is putting a schedule to do activities or prepare a list to do things when they think to smoke. For example, they can visit their friends, drink tea and take a nap. These are the ways that if people apply it will help them to quit smoking and there are many other ways but it depends on people, which way they like or think it’s more useful for them.("Quitting smoking: 10 ways to ride out tobacco cravings”  2013.)

tea part 1,2,3

Tea is a drink that many people drink every day for different reasons. It’s a drink that has been spread in many places. Many people like to drink tea in the morning, afternoon, at work and sometimes it depends on their mood because not all people drink tea at the same time. In our home we like to drink tea in the morning and afternoon. Tea appeared a thousand years ago in some countries.  Tea history begins in many different countries which are Greece and China during these years (1500BC-1046BC) when the Shang family was there. Tea in the past had many benefits and it was very useful for people because it was used as a medicine which was called medical tea. The first people who drank tea were the traders who were from Portugal and merchants from China. Problems happened between countries because they were competing with each other to control or own the tea. Two of these countries were Britain and China because British people used to come to India trying to achieve their goals which was to own the tea.

 

The tea can be found in many places in the world. In the UAE tea is available everywhere and anytime. People who are UAE locals or who are living in the UAE drink tea at many different times. In the UAE tea is available in many places. Also, tea is considered one of the hospitality drinks in the UAE in places like homes, companies and shops. Usually, I visit people who are my relatives and friends in their homes. During my visit in their home they provide me with a cup of tea to drink and I must accept to drink. In our society it’s not polite to say no for someone offers us a tea to drink. For example, Dubai is an international city where we can see many different nationalities that are from Asia, Europe, America and other countries. Some of them came to Dubai through many airlines. One of these airlines is Emirates Airlines. Emirates airlines informs people about the tea hospitality in Dubai while they are visiting their website to book tickets from their country to Dubai. However, tea helps our health to be better and avoid many diseases. It helps the people who are having problems with their weight like the fat people to burn their fats and reduces the risk of serious diseases like heart diseases or attacks.

 

Tea has many benefits to the people health and societies in many different ways. Many countries are producing tea because of if its benefits. One of these countries is India. India is one of the countries to produce tea drink and consume it at the same time. India is a big tea producer. It consumes 70% of what it produces and exports the rest. It’s considered in India as a national drink because it has existed in India from 750-500 BC.

 

One of the important benefits that tea can provide to people is improvements that are related to their health. Most of the people are doing their best to maintain their health because without it there will happen many problems like their weight will increase and there will be more heart diseases. Many studies show that tea can help the health and avoid many diseases. Dr. Carrie Ruxton and her friends proved on BBC news that tea can prevent many diseases like cancer and it can make our bones strong. Also, she said drinking tea is better than drinking water because it replaces fluids and contains antioxidants.

Accidents

Accidents are happening everyday all overs the UAE.  Vechiles are one of the causes of accidents. Adults and children after the accidents get injured or die. These accidents are considered one of the big problems in UAE society. Different places in the UAE are seeking for solutions to reduce the number and percentages which are related to accidents. Authorities in the UAE are their best for child safety through producing car seats and giving instructions their parents. The reason that accidents happen in the UAE is that many are careless or they don’t work with it in the right way. If people are serious about the child safety the accidents and deaths will decrease. Seating in the back is right for children who are above 4 years. Booster seats are a good solution for children because they have benefits like reducing injuries. Some people don’t take care about this problem because their children are crying or think if someone is holding them is a better solution. Programs are available to teach the children how to be safe, like RTA. Organizations and companies like Chevrolet are helping hospitals through producing child seats. 

Desert horsemen keep the pace

The police department in RAK which is located in UAE has a way to avoid problems in deserts. They send people who are working with them to the desert keep the peace. Usually, during their work they wear traditional clothes called kandura and they use a headgear to protect them from weather and other changes. Their work is to reach places silently to find problems that are happening in deserts and villages because people think in these places nobody knows what is happening. During the work they ride horses quietly to check what people are doing or if there is some is happening. One of the disadvantages of the people who ride horses is that horses get frightened by engine voices but these horses are trained not to be afraid of anything. There are two types of horses Arabian and Indian. The Arabian is more powerful and Indian didn’t succeed which means the Arabian is better. Horses are used during the winter more than the summer. They can easily get rid of problems happening like removing trouble makers.  Horses are used only for 4 hours so they don’t get tired remain useful.

Reflection

In the beginning, we started writing a summary about the desert horsemen who keep the peace. It was about the people who are working in the RAK police department. Their nature of work was to make the desert safe through reaching places silently to get rid of troubles that are happening in deserts. They used to train the people and horses how to solve these problems or get rid of them.

The second summary was about the reasons of the accidents that are happening in the UAE. They happen because people didn’t care about this problem which causes a lot of injuries and deaths. However, there are solutions like the availability of programs that are teaching kids how to be safe and organizations which are producing child seats. I think people must take care of their children through buying child seats so they can avoid accidents.

Our third summary was about the pearl divers in the UAE in the past. Seeking for pearls was considered as a livelihood and they used to spend weeks at sea. In my opinion, a pear diver does not exist in the UAE these days but we can know about them from different resources.
