How to improve your academic performance? How to get good grades? How to forget about C, D, and F during a semester? Here are the main questions that simply needed to be answered. And the interesting thing is there is the answers. There are plenty of white, grey, and black tricks using which you can fix your grades and that’s not counting the diligent learning. But I must say that I will divide all the questions in two groups: “how to learn better” and “how to get good grades or even fix bad ones without putting too much efforts.” Of course, I strongly recommend the first option, it works perfectly and you will benefit from the knowledge you will get from learning. That is why you came to college, right? On this, I’ll write here. Oh, and how to fix your grade, using all sorts of tricks we’ll talk in another essay on getting good grades, without putting too much efforts.”

Learning is a skill. First, we must learn how to learn, and only then learn the rest. Here are the rules following which you will be able to do all your (of course not all, but some) homework, understand given material (well again, at a level it should be understood, but not too deep), pass all the tests with at least B in your pocket, and generally learn better.

What are the advantages of University education?

People often ask me the question, starting from the beginning of the September. Indeed, what it is like to study here? Of course, I cannot answer that question until I have experienced all the nuances of the first session, but some changes are already visible in comparison with high school. After asking some fellow students and putting their views and feelings together, I have highlighted the following points:

Our University teachers’ attitude is completely different from those from my high school. Each of them has different approach to engage us in his subject. You are treated as an entirely adult, responsible person, which is something I always wanted so much and had not enough at school. No teacher will spoon-feed you material or care if your work-book is in a proper condition. All these are your problems and yours only. You can chose the class to attend and you can even miss it deliberately. However, you have to remember that when you are dropped after could not pass an examination at the end of the semester because you missed some lectures it as well is only your problem. At the University, they treat us as adults, so it is for us to make adult decisions whether we need all these lectures or not. Continue reading “Essay on Advantages of University Education”

Belligerents are in a state of war when the political and military leadership of the armed confrontation participants remove the limits for using its armed forces and suitable weapons. Generally, the armed forces receive an order to start fighting.

State of war entails a number of legal consequences, an end to diplomatic and other relations between the warring states, the termination of treaties, etc. For example, all treaties between Japan and Russia on the delimitation of the Islands (Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands), in the 19th century, lost power in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905, so any references to them in our time are not proper.

The war can end with unconditional surrender of one of the warring parties or by peace agreement partially satisfying the parties involved. In any case, the war ends with peace, which is usually defined as the absence of war or removed contradictions between warring states.

Up until the 19th century, wars had relatively narrow economic base and were made, as a rule, by few professional armies. From the second half of the 19th century and especially from the twentieth century war requires enormous exertion of the warring parties and involving multimillion-dollar mass of people in the long fighting. If a military conflict involves many countries, the conflict is called the world war. In the First World War, more than 70 million people were involved. In the World War II, it was about 110 million.

The global economy annually loses about two trillion dollars, or 4.3 % of GDP because of poor working conditions. How much it is in human lives, it is almost impossible to estimate.

Occupational safety and health situation in developing countries is still sad. Poor working conditions are the norm for 29% of the working population of the planet, although in 2006, the figure was 23.4%.

The worst-case scenario is in the extractive minerals industry. Two-thirds of the industry workers, which is 69%, are working in poor conditions. The transport industry with 34%, the heavy industry with 31%, and the construction industry with 18% follow it.

In the regional context, residents of the African region are the most vulnerable – 38.5% of local workers are employed in the jobs with poor working conditions. Slightly better situation is in Asia with 36.5 per cent in and South America with 35.6. Continue reading “Essay on Poor Working Conditions”

It is no secret how many victims the terrorist acts claim. However, it is not exactly calculated, what damage terrorism does to economy. One thing is clear: terrorism has an extremely negative impact on the economic situation, but its negative impact lasts a relatively short time.

Rare individual terrorist attacks, such as bombings or murders, can have a long-term and very serious effects on the economy. The long-term effect is due to the so-called terrorist campaign, continuing for a long time, or especially large and bloody attacks, which have a significant psychological effect. The unprecedented terrorist attacks in the United States, September 11, 2001 have caused enormous damage to the economy of the United States and around the world, but the negative trend caused by the terrorist attacks lasted no more than two or three months. Terrorists have slowed economic recovery in the United States, but their actions were not the cause of the economic problems.

The terrorist attacks caused damage similar to that caused by “ordinary” criminals, natural disasters, man-made catastrophes and epidemics. Mankind has long learned to cope with their effects. Continue reading “Essay on Terrorism and Economy”

Strengthening human rights abroad is in the best interests of the United States, believes the Director of the Washington Office of the Human Rights Watch Tom Malinowski.

“In most cases, there is no difference between American national interests and human rights,” said Malinowski 20 June at Hudson Institute in Washington during the political discussion titled “The mission of America: discussion on the strategies of promotion of democracy and human rights”.

He noted that, in his view, the main problem facing the United States is a common trust. He recommended that the US President Administration “be a voice for all dissidents, and not just those who like United States” and called on it to support all those who expressed peacefully.

Under-Secretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky gave details on the efforts the United States exerted to promote democracy abroad. She said: “democracy is the cornerstone of the US President Administration’s foreign policy.” Continue reading “Essay on Awareness of Human Rights”

For over 50 years of work, school and adult support services the National Autism Society (United Kingdom) have developed their own strategy for understanding and responding to the needs of children and adults with autism. This strategy can be useful to identify hidden problems and reduce disability caused by autism; it can also be the basis for the development of communication skills. All the training of the Society stuff is built on this strategy, which is also used as the basis of the ethical code of the organization.

The strategy recognizes the unique and individual needs of each child and adult, and stresses that they should be the focus for the planning and organization of any interventions. The National Autism Society believes that several related approaches can help children and adults with autism, and that the focus on their strengths and minimizing effects caused by the disease, may lead to personal growth and development, and allow them to live life to the full.

In the case of problematic behavior, it is important to start working on it as soon as possible, because usually such behavior of autistic children is very quickly established as habits, gaining intensity, and it becomes extremely difficult to change it.

Many believe that meditation is akin to dreams. My advice to those who thinks so: try and see whether it is or not. It is not so simple to meditate, at least at first. When I did this for the first time, instead of focusing on the breath and get away from all that comes to mind, as my Tibetan mentors advised to me, I succumbed to a flood of anxious thoughts and fell asleep. This happens with all noobies.

“Do not give up. Be persistent,” would be an advice from people who practice meditation for a long time. “During the process of trying your consciousness is being transformed and you can overcome your destructive emotions that are bothering you, as well as your pain and suffering, are the word by Buddhist monk Matthew Rickard. It is a centuries-old legacy of Buddhism available to everyone. To use it, you just need a desire and tenacity. Sounds tempting, but what science does think about this?
