Gun control - Argumentative Essay

Guns – Are they a weapon or safety tools? Should Guns be banned?
According to some people the world is peaceful compare to ancient times. However, nowadays life is worse than before due to the fact that deadly technologies such as guns are spreading rapidly in the society. Even though people are granted freedom in our society, it does not mean use of guns is not limited. There are many countries which will not allow the use or selling of guns in their society. The topic of gun control is debated lately everyday in our government body, to oppose it or to support the sale of guns in our society. Even though both sides have their strong arguments in order to support their statements, I truly believe in the ban of guns due to many reasons.

 First of all, people, especially the ones who own at least one gun, say that the use of guns actually decreases the number of crimes. Based on some statistics, this statement is true, however what we should see is the number of victims not the number of the crimes. The number of crimes is decreasing, but the crimes that are still spreading are consuming many victims for example accidental gun shots. In fact, the increasing ease to guns actually brings many victims, more teens and children die from gun wounds. We can see from some statistic that the number of victims are influenced by the use of gun, and we can conclude that the spreading use of guns actually brings more victims.

 

 Secondly, as we all know, guns are designed to shoot whether it is to shoot a living thing or a non-living thing does not matter, but it surely is a tool to destroy something. Well, yes it is true that the one that kills is the user and guns do not kill people, because guns are just inanimate tools, however, guns are the tools that triggers people to kill. Firearms also allow people to kill from a certain distance and it enable to kill more than one living thing at a time. Whenever people see a gun, they think that this is the tool to defend themselves, which is true but on the other hand defending ourselves can be done other ways also.

 Finally, guns are not primary needs for people who do not have any relation to the military. Guns are not made for the hands of a normal person, because if they fall in to the wrong hands, unnecessary things could happen. From my point of view, the ones that need to use guns are people who are already trained and they use it for something with a good aim such as the military. In unwanted situations people do not think clearly, panic,and get frighten, and in this kind of situation, people with a gun will surely pull the trigger. For people like ourselves it is better to learn something else, there are many better ways to defend ourselves like using martial arts and we do not need to 'kill' the threat.

 In conclusion, people only see the decreasing number of crimes, while what they really need to see is the increasing number of victims. Although the number of crimes is reducing with more access to guns, but the number of victims that died because of gun wounds is increasing. Guns are also a tool to 'destroy' something, and even though people who are killing people, guns are the ones which allow people to kill by using them. Guns are not a primary need for us, so it does not matter even if they are banned and we can live without them. To sum up, it is better to ban guns because they are not necessary and guns only bring more victims.

Causes of Terrorism - Cause & Effect Essay

Terrorism has become a systematic weapon of a war that knows no borders. Terrorism is a major threat we have in our society today. We must first understand the causes of terrorism to prevent such acts of danger from occurring. Religious, ethnic, and political issues are the three main causes of terrorism in the society in which we live in today.



Firstly, te majority of terrorism is caused by religious beliefs in which people formulate an idea of how the world and everyone in it should be. These terrorists religions are determined to destroy anything that stands between them and their so called ideal world. One mans vision can change an entire religion. Mental disorder is a prime factor that occurs in the mind of a terrorist leader.  After the terrorist has taken control of a religion, he or she then convince the followers that those who oppose their beliefs are enemies. In the past, Osama Bin Laden had used his power of manipulation in an attempt to turn the Islamic world against the United States.


Secondly, Ethnic terrorism occurs when a person's culture is being threatened by outside forces. These terrorists see the evidence of foreign cultures everywhere in their country. They worry that the way they believe and think is being erased. Ethnic terrorists often seek to influence their own communities more than the country as a whole. They frequently seek to foster communal identity, in contrast to an identity proposed by the state. A secondary goal of the attacks is to create a climate of fear among a rival group's population.

Thirdly, the concept of terrorism may itself be controversial as it is often used by state authorities to delegitimize political or other opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of armed force against opponents such as use of force may itself be described as "terror" by opponents of the state. Terrorism has been an integral part of politics. Dealing with terrorism is therefore not a new challenge, despite the various claims to such effect by resourceful political leaders or those in the modern fear industry.

  Terrorism creates a difficult problem for the state. It need not to be the fear inspiring that it has become. In conclusion, I believe we must recognize terrorism as a new type of military aggression which requires governmental action. We must work to deter further terrorist aggression in this decade.

This week i started looking for a pre school for my son. I didn't have any idea about how to look for a pre school. I was looking online about all the pre schools, then one of my friends told me that i have to look for a pre school in the same county I live. I got relaxed to find one in my county.I was looking for the requirenments the school needed before giving admission to a child. They need the parents to be there in school while the child is there. As of now i don know driving so it is a tough time for me as i have to drive my child there to school. So, before doing registration in school for my child I have to learn driving and should have to be a good driver.

What is the Homework???

Hey Al,,,, What is the homework for this week?

This week

My week started with a tiring day as it was not good. I had a severe pain in my neck. I wanted to take rest but one of my cousin asked me if i could take care of her 7 months daughter as she had some emergency to go out. I was not able to say no to her because it was an emergency. So i believe everyone is aware that to take care of 7 months old is much more tiring. I had 2 kids to take care of that day. One is my 2 yrs old and other is 7 months old. I was in pain and wanted to take rest but kids never let me take rest. I took medicine and applied pain reliever cream on my neck but it never worked. In the after noon when both kids fell asleep, I tried to take a nap but at that time I was not able to sleep. I was lying in the bed for an hour and that worked and was relaxing. In the evening, I made a cup of tea with some snacks. At 5:30 pm my cousin came back and she was very happy looking at her daughter very happy. She thanked me and appreciated me for taking care of her daughter. I got surprised when she gave a thank you gift. I never wanted to take that gift but she insisted me to take that. So i accepted that gift. At the end of the day i felt relaxed and my pain was also very less.

My week started with a very good news that my mother in law is coming to US in April last week. She is planning to stay here for atleast 3 months. I was very happy to know about this and i gave her a list of my shopping from India. I was checking online some very pretty indian-western jewellery and I am very glad my mother in law is coming and she is bringing that for me from India. Thenlater next day i talk to my father after such a long time. He was so happy to talk to me as i am happy here with my family. My father was always worried about me when he came to know that I will be in US for a long time. After my mother passed away, he was the only one who took care of us (siblings) and was caring about us. He told me over the phone that he is planning to visit us in US. I was so happy to hear this that my father always wanted to see America even though before i came here. This was his dream and now his dream will be coming true very soon. He was nervous as well as happy and excited about this. I am very eager to see him here and will be waiting for that day to come soon. I will be counting days in reverse now.
