Media and the great influence in shaping people's ideas.

   In our new century, if we look at the mass media including television, radio and newspapers we will find great influence in shaping people's ideas. This is because of the development in the technology and so the demand for the knowledge. Here I will go through the issue in depth.

   First of all if we take look at our life we can see the great developments which have happened in the technology. This causes increasing in the sources of knowledge which make us thirst for them. 
Therefore the variety in the mass media has increased knowledge in recent times.

   Another reason why people need the mass media is that people are looking for a fast source of knowledge like television, radio and maybe newspapers. A further reason involved universities, colleges and institutes where students need information to do their projects and research.

   Although some people still find the information and news through the old ways, others use the Internet which is the easy way to do that. In addition, there are many sites for connection like face book, twitter and google which are better than in the past.

   In conclusion, I agree with the statement which tells us the mass media, including television, radio and newspapers have great influence in shaping people's ideas. 

Fishermen in millions 1970, 1980, 2000 & top ten fish exporters 2000.

   This bar graph shows the number of fishermen in millions for different regions in the years 1970, 1980 and 2000.

   In 1970, the highest number of fishermen was in Europe with a number of 12M and the lowest number was in North America with 5M. In 1980, the highest number of fishermen was in North America with a number of 15M and about 7M in South America and Europe. In 2000, the highest number was in Asia, about 25M approximately and the lowest in Africa which was about 3M.

   In contrast, the table illustrates the world's top ten exporters of fish in the year 2000. Thailand has the biggest exports of fish. Norway comes in the second position. Canada comes in the sixth position. Taiwan comes in the seventh position. Finally, South Korea comes in the last position offering fish products.

   In conclusion, it's clear from the bar chart and from the table that there are variations in the demand for fish products which is obviously good.

Positive and negative developments for students continuing their higher education

   Nowadays many countries offer programs to let students continue their education after school. There is a big number of high school students who want to continue their advanced education. That is why the number of universities and colleges has increased in recent times. Some people agree with these developments and the others are against them. Here I will show you my opinion concerning what is going on in this issue.

   Going back to the issue, a few people think that advanced education is rubbish and no longer important. They think that going to build new colleges and institutes is wasting of time and effort.
They believe that getting a high school certificate and going straight away to the work sector is much easier.

   Other people believe that going to higher education is more positive. On the other hand students who graduate from universities and colleges will have a big opporitunity to have high positions at work. So the increase in the number of colleges and universities and the increase in the number of students is a positive indicator.

   The situation is clear enough that can make us able to extract the right argument. So the conclusion shows that going to higher education through colleges and universities is more posititive and also has benefits for the country.

   The pie charts show the results of an air line survey in 2002 of economy class and business class travelers. The numbers indicate the percentage of male or female passengers who rated a particular feature as the most popular in-flight consideration.
