Recently the world was shocked to learn that millions of people were starving to death in some parts of Africa. It was a tragedy indeed. In response many people contributed what they could do to alleviate the situation. Donations of food and money came from all parts of the world. A group of popular singers got together and raised a big sum of money to help these unfortunate populace. Yet, there are people dying of starvation in some parts of the world. It is an evil, there is no doubt about that, but there is not much an ordinary person can do about it except hope that countries involved and the other developed countries do something positive to stop it. A lot of the 'powers that be' are too involved in their power struggle and bickerings to care about what happens to their starving citizens. Just take a look at more...

By prizes I mean the book prizes or book token given by some schools at their annual prize-giving day. Most schools have an annual prize-giving day. As far as I am concerned, this promise of prizes once a year does not inspire the pupils in general to perform better. My reasons are as below : Normally, only one prize is given for each subject in a form. The students know very well beforehand who would win a particular prize. In any case, they can pick out a handful of students—maybe three or four, who might stand a chance to receive a prize, so the desire to improve is present only in those few students. The rest of the class is not bothered because they know they have no chance. This lack of interest is shown even by the best class. As for the poorer classes, the students would not even more...

Globalization is denned as "the development of an increasingly integrated global economy through reduction of barriers to international trade and is marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets," This means globalization is a process by which regional and local economies,   societies,   and   cultures   integrate   through communication, transportation and trade- The term also refers to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through music or films. However, globalization is largely associated with its economic sense i.e. the integration of national economies through free flow of trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, spread of technology and military equipments.

I was on my way back home on my motorcycle after exercising in a nearby park when I saw thick black smoke billowing upwards at some distance from me- It was twilight time and the dirty black smoke rising against a brilliant red western sky presented quite a spectacle. I knew that a fire was raging and judging by the colour and the fury of smoke I reasoned that it was probably caused by the burning of rubber and diesel oil. I continued home and I noticed that the smoke was getting closer. The column of black smoke was both horrifying and ominous- Then as I approached a bend along the road, I saw the fire. The glow of fifty foot flames shooting upwards was blinding. I blinked my eyes to let it adjust to the sudden brightness. After a while I could see that a row of shops were more...
