CULTURAL DIVERSITYLiving in a community where there are people of various races could be a rewarding and an exciting experience. Such a community is like a small world with many types and races of people in it. Everyone, young or old, enjoys listening to stories about people in other lands. We read books and newspapers to learn about the habits, customs and beliefs of people who do not belong to our race, but when we live in a community composed of many races or ethnicities, we have the opportunity to meet and talk with people or various races....

TOLERANCE
TOLERANCE The progress of any community or country depends largely on the conduct of the people who reside in it. Discontent, jealousies, prejudices, and intolerance among a few of the people can cause great damage to the whole community or country. Sociable by nature, men hate to live in isolation. The urge for association, therefore, enables men to tolerate the views and habits of others, to great extent. Most men have come to realise that the cohesionof society cannot be secured without the exercise of tolerance on the part of its members. A...
CITIZENSHIP
CITIZENSHIPGenerally speaking, citizenship means balancing rights and responsibilities. So, almost every modem state, especially a democracy, allows its citizens several rights ; but in return, it experts its citizens to perform certain duties. Among the rights enjoyed by the citizen in a democracy are the right to pursue his own affairs as he prefers; the right to express his views, however silly they may appear to others, and the right to move about as he pleases. The citizen is considered so important that his rights are protected by the law...
VOLUNTEERING AND CITIZENSHIP
VOLUNTEERING AND CITIZENSHIP Volunteering a few hours each week to some community activity is an important way of investing in the future of our society. I chose to spend my time working with elementary school children helping them to learn to read. Developing good reading skills will help these students keep up with their classmates, open new worlds to them, and help them succeed in life.Students who are not good readers cannot keep up with their studies. They will not understand the lessons; they will come to school unprepared; they will not...
SCIENCE AND LIVING LONGER

They have foods sufficient enough to keep them alive, clothes warm enough to protect them against cold, and houses strong enough...
IMMIGRANTS: INTEGRATION OR REFUSAL AND SEGREGATION
IMMIGRANTS: INTEGRATION OR REFUSAL AND SEGREGATIONNowadays it is quite common for people to move to other countries either for work or for study. When they move, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country, while others prefer to keep their own customs. If I were forced to choose one of the two positions, my choice would be the former.To illustrate my point, let us first take a look on why some people dislike the idea of following the new customs. First, people who have a strong religious background that are different from that...
HUMOUR
HUMOURIn my point of view, a sense of humour is as important as, if not more important than, other characteristics that a person can have to be successful in life. Firstly, humour helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is because that we are always reminded that tragedy is not really far from comedy, and then we never get a lop-sided view of things. A small example could get some light on this point. Once I failed an assignment again, and I told myself that God was on vacation these days. I did not feel frustrated, and I succeeded the...
