The mass media have great influence in shaping peoples idea

Today the media play a big role in our daily lives; there is no one who can deny the media brought the good things and sometimes brought bad things. From this point I will explain the positives and negatives. 

First of all, let me start with the positive aspect ; there is  no doubt the media in all types provide a great service ; for example the media connect us with each other all over the world easily and quickly ; we can know about what happens in the US or UK within seconds by watching the television  or listening to the radio. In fact the media help people broaden their ideas by providing them which good and useful information submitted by great people who have experience and knowledge in various fields; for example in the UAE the majority of people don’t know about the diabetes but through the newspapers and other media the people get good awareness about this and knew that this disease came in first in disease in the UAE and the second country in the world. Another important thing the media are good at is helping the society especially the parents in the UAE to send their children to school specially  the girls and also give good example in how the media play a great role in raising awareness and encouraging the society to learn . Moreover the media help travelers by providing them with good information about the other countries.

If you turn to the negative aspects you will see there is a lot of information which is not true and real and you should be more careful about what you read or hear for example what happened in Iraq ; then media played a bad role by sending wrong messages for the receivers in both sides Iraq or US people .

In conclusion, there are many things positive; as well there are many things negative but I believe the media provide us with the great services that help the society in all aspects.

Arguments about people continuing higher education and the increase in universities as a whole.

Nowadays in many countries the number of people who continue their education after school has increased and the range of courses available at universities and colleges has also increased . So from this point let me illustrate the positive and negative aspects of the development and through my report I will give my opinion about that.

First of all, let me illustrate the negative side. In fact increased numbers of people joining universities or colleges leads to inflation in the number of graduates which causes difficulties in finding a job for all these people because they want suitable jobs with a high salary. Another problem for both government and graduated people is some places need to fill the small jobs such as soldiers in the military. The last thing is the number of the unemployed will increase which will affect the GDPof the country. After all these things let me turn to the positive things.

I believe the education is needed for everyone in the countries and there is no limit to stop. So as long as the community is continuing the education the country will get good benefits in different fields. And with more knowledge in the community the country will develop fast and handle the difficulties such as economic, policy, and social problems.

In conclusion, I believe both have the right to their opinion but in my opinion the education is very important for the nation to increase their awareness in any sector. Education helps the country avoid the difficulties.

The survey in 2002 of economy and business class travellers.

The four pie charts show the the results of an airline survey in 2002 of economy and business class travelers .The numbers indicate the percentage of male and female passengers who rated a particular feature.

First of all, let me illustrate the economy class features for both sexes. The most popular flight features for females was the service; this was about 45% whereas it was 25% for males. Males rated space at 49% while the females just have half of that percentage 25%. Also there are common features between both sexes. About movies, food and drink it's almost the same percentage

If you go to the other side for business class you can see the space feature has half of the percentage for both males and females. Another point you can observe is that the service parts have the same percentage 28% for females and 30% for males. In the last point the movies are more popular for females; the percentage is 9% whereas it's 3% for males.

In conclusion, the most similar feature between business and economy class is the food and drink.

The graph and Table about Fishermen and Exports

The graph and table show the number of fishermen for different regions in 1970, 1980 and 2000. In addition the table shows the exports of fish in 2000.

First of all I will illustrate in my writing the graph which represents the fishermen by region in millions. The graph shows the Asian continent come the first between continents in 2000; it contains almost 27M fishermen whereas Africa comes at the bottom; it represents about 3M fishermen. In fact Africa starts strongly in the year 1970 and exceeded Asia but as you see Africa dropped from 9M to 3M between 1970 to 2000. Another important point is South America remained the same between 1970 and 2000. Also comparing South and North America the number of fishermen in the North grew from 1970 to 2000 and it passed the South American figure. In the table as you see Thailand comes at the top of the table whereas South-Korea came at the bottom. Also Norway has the largest exports in Europe.

In conclusion, the fishing industry in Asia grew fast from 1970 to 2000 whereas there was slow growth in some continents and it decreased or stayed the same in the other continents. Thailand has an important figure of exports whereas South-Korea comes bottom

Information Society 1999-2000

This table and the two bar charts show the numbers and percentage about the Personal Computers users, Internet users, and Mobile phones users in the USA, Japan, EU-15 and the other countries in the world.

First of all, you can see from the information in the table that the USA has the largest number of PCs users which is 141 M. Also, you will find the largest numbers of internet users are in the USA and they are 154 M.  EU-15 is the top of countries which are using the mobile phones.

Then, the first bar chart shows the proportions of people using a personal computer in % in the year 1999 in EU-15.  The Scandinavian countries  obtain the highest % of using the personal computers whereas Greece is the lowest % of using the personal computers.

Finally, the second bar chart shows the proportions of people using the internet in % in the same year. Sweden comes the top of using the internet. Luxembourg and the UK have a similar  % of using the internet , that  is 22%.  Also, Spain and France have similar % of using the internet that is 8%.  Denmark is the second largest country that  is using the internet.

In conclusion, the table shows that the using of mobile phones is common and the charts show that Scandinavian countries use the personal computers and the internet  more than others.

The challenges you face in other countries

People in the past or today travel to overseas countries for different reasons such as study, work, treatment and so on. Of course the traveler faces big challenges during  his stay in an overseas country , for instance culture , law , food .

First of all everyone knows that there are too many challenges for those who are searching for traveling overseas to other countries. These challenges might be difficult because they involve a different culture. For example the person who looks to complete his/her study in overseas countries or the worker who looks for a better job, the patient who seeks for treatment and off course other causes . So how do we overcome these difficulties? Today life has become easier than before to know about  the other countries  ; for example you can use your laptop or computer and open the internet  in Google  then put the country name you will  find all information  about this country .

From this point you can avoid too many things. Maybe the greatest problem is law; for example when I was in the United States I took my friend's car without checking the car insurance. That was a great big problem for me until my friends came with the insurance paper; otherwise I could be in prison so this is one of the things the traveler must take care about in the United States and even in other countries .Another thing may face you in overseas countries is the home food and you can overcome this problem by living in a city or downtown area where there are suitable restaurants.

In conclusion, the traveler can face difficulties in overseas countries such as culture; to avoid these things the traveler needs to know more information about the new country.

USA and EEC unemployment levels

The bar chart shows movies shown in Britain and Australia, by country of origin, in 2000. The line graph shows cinema attendances in the same countries, 1980-2000.

US films were by far the most popular. Nearly 80% of films shown in Britain, and nearly 70% in Australia were US movies. The remaining 20% in Britain were almost entirely British. In Australia, 10% were Australian, 5% British and just over 15% from other countries. Cinema attendances were predictably higher in Britain throughout the period 1980-2000. The figure in 1980, 100M, fell sharply by half in 1982. There was then a dramatic rise to 120M in 1986. After another drip in 1988, attendances climbed steadily to over 140M in 2000. In Australia also attendance halved from 40M in 1980 to 20M in 1982. The figure then increased to 40M again in 1984 and remained steady until 1990, after which it rose steadily to 90M in 2000.

US films were most popular in both countries and cinema attendances higher throughout in Britain.

For example you can see that the percentage reaches up to almost 80% in Britain where as it is 68% in Australia. Also you can see the British films have a 20% share of the market while the Australia has a negligible share.

The line shows that the attendances in Britain always comes above the Australian attendance. Both countries dropped in attendance; in Britain from 100 M to almost 50M and in Australian from 40M to 20M.
