So,l can't stand many things in my life. For instance when I was in the metro last week, there were siting two boys. Suddenly old lady came, but boys didn't see her playing their computer games. I can't stand it. The worst human's trade of character is narcissism. This people use to think only about their selves. They don't see another people near them. I can't stand it. I love my country ,but I can't stand our politicians. They are bad workers, because of our situation in the country today. I can't stand our football. Because it's very disgraceful to play like this in our big country. So, sometimes people give up. They dreamed, even started to work with their dream. But they give up at last, because of one little thing called mistake.I can't stand it. And I think that human can achieve everything if he wants it very much. Often people take animals and later throw away it. So, I can't stand it. I think that such people must take care of their pets if they took it. I can't stand people who hurts their parents and don't help. It's immoral. So,as you see, I can't stand many things, but I think that I am not alone with These views.

I can't stand it! Or...
I
like my personal space; I like to sit in silence dealing with my affairs on my
own. And I don’t like people, who ruin my quiet idyll. Probably nobody likes
it. But amount of these “mustard plasters” is growing year by year (as it seem
to me). I understand, that sometimes problem is in my character and such
things, but really, what can happen to an ordinary person, that in one
beautiful day he starts talking all the time. They don’t need you to listen
their speech, they just want to talk. As for me, this kind of people is the
weirdest one.
This
problem seems really funny, because human is sort of social being. But this is
not communication, this is not a dialog, just uncomfortable situation, that
irritates me (all thoughts i have:“I don’t want to answer, I want to go home, please let me go”).
So,
confusing and stressful situations are quite personal things. I mean, people
are people, they are different and things, they can’t stand are different as
well. Things that I hate, another person can be obsessed with. And this is how we
live. We’re trying to find people, who will like the same things as we do, but before we will find them, there will
be a lot of stress and conflicts because of the phrase “I can’t stand it!”
And
as always, we need to find a
compromise. How will we live, if we don’t communicate with people, that don’t
like the same music for example? Will we find like-minded persons to hate another
like-minded persons together or something? Let’s don’t be rude, let’s be nice
and tolerant to each other (it’s rather difficult, but we shall try; at least
we shall try to express our opinion without aggression and everything will be fine).

Do we need to change our food?
In modern world, despite significant technical progress and highly developed computer technologies, hunger still remains a serious global problem. There are 805 million hungry people in the world, that's why scientists are trying to find solutions such as GM foods. The question is if it is what the humanity really needs.
Three-quarters of all hungry people live in rural-areas where farmers are surviving off marginal lands prone to natural disasters like drought or flood.
International society makes great efforts to come up with a solution. Oxfam- a large international charity has introduced an effective 3000 year old method to help develop agriculture of 3-rd world countries. The stone-lines stop the rain from running off the soil and also combat erosion. For example, in Somalia after a 2 year drought the next harvest is expected to be 50% of normal. Hunger result in high level of premature mortality in developing countries. Malnutrition is especially dangerous for children.
Another direction is the development of GMO, which means to produce plants with changed genetic structure. This method helps the plant resist different diseases and leads to much larger crops. Besides, GM foods are cheaper and have higher nutritional value.
However, many people are concerned about negative influence of GM food on their health because possible side effects of its use have not been studied yet. There is no scientific research to prove its safety for people or the environment.
In conclusion I'd like to say that global food shortage is a vital problem that effects lives of millions of people. I'm convinced that we must find a solution as fast as we can but it has to be safe for our health and the nature, while GMO doesn't seem like the right one as it may have negative consequences in the future.

Do we really need to change it? (GMO)
Do we really need to change it?
Nowadays there are many different opinions about GM food. We eat it every day and sometimes it's even amazing to see organic food in our fridges. So do we really need to change it? Why we can't just leave everything as it is now? Let's think about it. What about advantages and disadvantages of GM food?
Infact many people nowadays suffer from famine. Population is growing so we need to increace amount of food. But because of lack of resourses and farmers, weather problems, insects it's hard to produce so much food as necessary. So we need a solution. And we found it. GM food- it grows fast, need less resources and it grows much more, than organic. So GM is not so bad.
But is it so healthy? Farmers use special seeds, grow food with special medicines. It kills insects and produce more food, but scientists say that it can be very harmful for our organism. Just look on labels on packets of food- it's full of strange names of non-organic substances. But what is really shoking- nobody cares! We even do'nt think about food we eat! Its really disappointing.
In conclusion I want to say that GM food is not so bad. Personally I think that sometimes it's really useful, especially in poor countries because of lack of food. But we really need to worry about what we are eatting every day. Some GM food can be dangerous, so we need to be more careful with it.

GMO as our bright future, or as a deadly weapon
Nowadays we
can’t imagine our daily ration without food without additives. Most of us do
not attach importance to it, but another people do not think so.
So, there are some positive things about GMO.
Firstly, using of GMO makes the process of growing go faster. It helps to use
less area to get the same harvest, so farmers do not have to occupy a lot of
place. It also helps to get more harvest in a short time. Using GMO helps to
grow seed even in a very hostile climate. So every country can cultivate their
own food, without importing from another countries. GMO also helps to reduce consequences
of droughts, or another cataclysm.
And of course there are facts against GMO.
First is allergic reaction, that can be caused by such products, for example implementation
of brazil nut in soy. It made to increase amount of protein, but people with
allergy do not know about that, so they have to suffer. Also GMO changes our microorganisms
and that affects our immunity. That is really bad thing about GMO. Another bad
consequences are not even explored by doctors. We know that they exist, but we
cannot describe them.
In
conclusion I would like to say, that I do not spend a lot of time in shop choosing
products without GMO, and even sellers do not say, that they used it. So we
only can believe that there is not too much GMO in our food.
Do we really need to change it?

Today the problem of famine is one of the most popular and one of the hardest problems in the world. Particularly it exists in a Third World countries. It's really hard to understand that there are some places where people don't have anything to eat.
Genetically modified food is very popular now. There are a lot of disadvantages in it. Some people believe that there is nothing natural in it. And that it's very unhealthy for people because of artificial substances created from chemicals. But in spite of this manufacture of genetically modified food is a good opportunity to feed people all over the world. Sometimes especially in summer there are some phenomenas like drought in Africa. Products with genetically modified organisms are protected from it. And sometimes that is the reason why starving people have an opportunity to eat.
Sometimes insects become a real problem too. For example in India harvest suffers because of insects. Genetically modified products are protected from them too.
Personally I think that there are some really terrible situation when the quality of products is not important for people. It's very stupid not to use the only one opportunity to destroy the famine.
Some people are unsatisfied the GM organisms are also added in products they buy in a supermarkets but no one bothers them to read the structure of products before you pay for them. So I don't think that it's a big problem despite the fact that they are much cheaper than others.
To sum it all up I think that our life would be harder and more severe without it. We don't need to destroy GM organisms but we need to use them to their destination.

Do we need to change our food?
It's widely known that by 2050 the world's population will grow up to 9 billion people. We will need to grow twice as much food as we do today, which means the world's food system will definitely be going through some changes.
Genetically modified crops seem to be a good solution: we can make as many sorts of fruits and vegetables as we want in a laboratory and supply people with them. This idea scares people, they say GM products aren't natural and therefore can be harmful but these are just theories. While it's not proven that genetically modified food is a threat to our health, scientists claim it has the potential to create an essential way to feed the world.
In my opinion, changing our food is an inevitable step to create a better world for all the people.
Do we need to change our food?
Throughout the history there always were cases of fearful reception of the revolutionary inventions of all kinds. The railway was once seen as 'a devil serpent'. The microchips are still considered a secret project against humanity by numerous people and, for example, sects claiming that the people are being microchipped and tracked for evil purposes. To say more, even the vaccines were nearly abandoned in days of their invention, and the anti-vaccine societies still exist; the Edward Jenner's invention was said to have a wide range of various, sometimes just opposite hazardous effects, being even claimed to produce deformities on human beings. Doesn't this recall anything from the modern day? Ah, the GMOs.
![]() |
| A famous sarcastic drawing depicting the fear of vaccination, 1802 |
/One of the non-sarcastic agitational drawings against the GMOs, 20XX/
There are already a lot of entries on this blog (but not in the rest of Internet) supporting this invention, so I'm going to concentrate on the opponents of genetical modification. Let's examine the GMO counterarguments and learn something about the counterarguments supporters.
Scientific studies
One of the popular trends is to publish a research proving that GMO has negative effects on the nature. The most famous one was done by Á. Pusztai and then G. E. Séralini, accusing GM maize and potatoes of producing problems with healts or even causing cancer on rats. Both works were examined and there were serious errors found in the scientific study procedure.
Despite all of this, the most famous 'scientific' GMO-protester in Russia is D.Sc Irina Ermakova can be seen nearly on all TV channels supporting the anti-GM movements proving the harm of the new invention by the studies mentioned above lots of similar ones including her own. In this study I. Ermakova says that GM soya has proven to have all the kinds of bad effects on mice, including reproduction system diseases and 52% death rate. Surely this job was carefully examined by the scientific society and some obvious mistakes were found. And surely Irina Ermakova keeps up neglecting all these counterarguments, just as Pusztai, Séralini and all the 'anti-GM scientifics' do. Nevertheless, the European Commission after a 10-year research has stated that
The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies.
| This statement clearly has no effect on Irina Ermakova (and russian TV companies) who is continuing appearing on TV screens protesting against GM alongside with supporting her theory of men being ancestors of hermaphodite amazonites |
Do we need to change our food?
Do we have to change our food?
What does the food mean for people now and how did affected the life of people long time ago? In the premedical society people used to survive mainly with the aid of food, but now it is not only something necessary but a kind of art, creativity like "stromato" we have heard about.
Nowadays in average supermarket we can find so much different types of food, started to be available since people discovered vast and various manufactory. But do we really need such a wide range of products.
Besides knowing that most of them are genetically modified we might have an idea that the majority doesn't have any nutritious quality in them being gust taste sense "satisfactors".
We all know that marketing business moves forward new products to advertise, to make money on that new alimentary sector. But at the time we go out of the supermarkets with far more stuff that we need other people are suffering and dying of famine. While we continue to dye of obesity, heard attacks, diabetes, stomach and liver cancer caused by the newfound products we consume.
If we will rely on natural crops and not on chemical production of alimentary goods we will give a chance to poor countries to upgrade their economic situation by giving them a place in international trade system and at the same time give up with products that we don't need to survive.
To conclude I would like to say that making fashion of food industry, other words creating benefit-free but interesting types of food creates inequality in the international trade and agricultural system.

Do we need to change our food?
Nowadays there is a common phenomenon as a "famine". In the world more than 805 million hungry people and 98 percent from them are in developing countries. For example,
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me.
526 million: people from Asia and the Pacific.
237 million: people from Africa.
37 million: people from Latin America
And last 15 million contain developed countries.
Mostly all hungry people live in rural areas. The number of poor and hungry people are rising rapidly and , of course, it has a great influence on development of these countries.
They are more vulnerable to crises , they can easily suffer from disasters as flooding of torrential falls and e.t.c.
For developed countries the phenomenon of hunger and malnutrition is not typical. These countries now produce and consume more than 3/4 of the world's food, although they account for less than 15% of the population. In most of these countries the average calorie content is more than 3000 kcal per day. In this regard, recently in the literature, special attention is drawn to the things of the world more and more people are overweight and this increases their susceptibility to disease, reduced efficiency and reduced life expectancy. The total number of overweight people estimated at 600 million people, most of whom live in the US, UK and some other European countries.
So , the is a question: Do we need to change our food?
Of course!! At first we need to change the way of food consumption: it means to avoid eating fast food and fat food . At second , to do sport , at least 3 times a week and you won't have any problems with metobolism.
We should consume fresh fruits and vegetables.
People must understand the situation in the world and try to help hungry people ( 146 million children are underweight. It is the result of acute hunger) .
We are the world
We are the childrenWe are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me.

Do we need to change our food?
Nowadays most everybody knows about genetically modified products, but not all think that they do not harm our health. A lot of people try to avoid GMO because of it's threaten.
In shops people usually buy products that look better than others. However, the taste of those 'beautiful' products can be much worse than of the 'ugly' ones. And it is not so easy to decide what do you prefer: appearance or taste and health with it. To be fair it needs to be said that the influence of GMO is not completely studied yet and we do not know wether it is bad or good or neutral for our health.
Besides those genetically modified technologies can be used not only like a caprice, but like a real need. The population nowadays is growing very fast and not all people have enough to eat in their countries. In this way GMO can be very helpful. For example, those products can grow in such conditions in that normal products can not. Or GMO can be saved for much more time than normal food.
So, as we see, there are two sides of consuming genetically modified products. No one can make you to eat what they want, it is always you to choose. You need to decide firstly for yourself either you like it and you are 'for' GMO or not.

Do we need to change our food?
Nowadays people are getting more and more concerned about the food they eat as it is closely connected with the way they look and feel. So, let's discuss if GM food is dangerous to our health or not.
What does genetically modified food mean? Genetically modified crops have been developed by changing the plant's genetic structure in order to help the plant resist against different diseases or produce larger crops. Undoubtedly, GM food has negative influence on our health because it isn't grown in a natural way. Furthermore, possible side effects connected with the use of GM products have not been studied yet and that is why we can't judge about the safety of these products.
However, a lot of people are not worried about the negative influence of GM food on their health. Besides, producers of this food say that it has a number of advantages in terms of price, durability and nutritional value. They also persuade people that there is no risk to human health and many of them believe to producers. Other reason of using GM food is that sometimes harvest doesn't successful and that is why there is less food. And so people are forced to use GM food as there is a little amount of food.
In conclusion I would like to say that we have compared two aspects of genetically modified food. We have discussed all advantages and disadvantages. From my point of view, every person should decide it for himself whether to buy genetically modified food or not.

Do we really need to change it?
On Earth today there
are about 7 billion people. Therefore, in the world there is a
problem of food shortages in some regions. Scientists are trying to
solve this problem by creating transgenic organisms. Genetic
engineering makes it possible to introduce genes into a plant of any
organism.
GM-products have
disadvantages and advantages.
Supporters of GMOs
say that we can invent the plants that are resistant to drought in
Africa as well as resistant to various diseases of plants, so we can
abandon using of chemicals in agriculture.
But in many
countries today grow GMO plants. And this hasn't yet led to the
problem of hunger in Africa. It became clear, that GMO products are
almost thirty percent more expensive than natural. Also another
significant disadvantage is that genetically modified plants don't
produce viable seeds. It is very disadvantageously to farmers. Also,
in the fields of GMO herbicides and pesticides used on average per
hectare more than in fields with normal products. And, the most
frightening, that GMO plants produce hybrids with wild plants in the
fields. Maybe in a few decades, our planet will inhabit products —
mutants.
I am against GMOs - products, because it is still unknown their effect on the
human organism.
Scientists can't say
the answer, because GM foods have been invented a little more than 20
years ago, and it's too little time.
Some experts believe
that the simulated genes can cause genetic mutations in human cells.
Therefore GMO — products may have a negative effect on the human
organism. Every day there are new scientific findings that confirm
the facts of the negative impact of GMOs in experimental animals in
which all processes in the body are faster than humans.
Do we need to change our food
Nowadays we can see an enormous variety of food products in our supermarkets. It's easy to find anything you want. But apart from usual products there're some exotic ones. In some supermarkets you can find purple carrots, round courgettes, white cucumbers, square watermelons and etc. The questions are: Do we really need it? Do we really need to modify some goods genetically?
I think, yes! Firstly, it's always interesting and exciting to try out some new kinds of food. You can vary your life with such things like kumatoes (black tomatoes) and strawmatoes (the hybrids of strawberries and tomatoes).
Secondly, people can modify food genetically and look for some new combinations which will feed big amount of people in poor countries. What if scientists, for example, will find out such a great kind of fruit that will be having a big amount of calories and will be costing cheap, so, you will be able to deal this fruit to some days. Also, scientists need to create something that will help to grow all the goods everywhere, even in places where are no water and no sun.
Actually, there is also bad side in creating GM products. Scientists can make a mistake and we may have some really dangerous products.
So, all in all, I would say that GM products can exist but everyone should understand what they're eating.

Do we need to change our food?
I think that everybody loves food, especially when it's tasty and looks like a picture from a magazine and we don't usually think about how healthy it is or what's in it. I'm not saying it's bad because most of us don't even know where this or that product is from.
But now we should care about it more because with the increasing of Earths population the amount of natural and healthy food decreases.
Soon we will be eating only genetically modified foods. And until no one can say if it's good or bad scientists won't stop inventing new methods of changing food.
Without knowing anything about GMO people are sure that there is nothing good in it. But they don't say anything about starving people in Africa who can be saved by GMO products because it grows in severe conditions.

Do we need to change our food?
At present, as science is moving forward, new types of food producing appear, for example genetic modification. However, most people prefer natural products, and they are against any artificial ingredients, preservatives, etc. But do we really have choice and do we need to change our food?
As for me, I prefer natural products too, as they are usually more delicious and more healthy. Actually, I believe that overwhelming majority of people accept this point of view, but we should think about our future. These days world population grows rapidly, and the bigger population is, the more food it contributes. So in the near future our planet won't be able to provide everybody with natural products. That is the main reason for the search of alternative ways of producing food. As the result, we won't be able to choose, we will have to change our food. Although some people may be afraid of it or may dislike it, I don't think that it is so scary. Scientists are likely to invent GM products that won't affect our health and our life at all, may be they will be even better than natural ones.
So, to sum up, I'd like to say that in the near future, due to the growing population, we will be forced to change our food, but it's not as scary as it seems, and the solution is sure to be found.

Do we need to change our food?
I suppose that everyone has ever been in the situation like this. Imagine, you're looking for apples in the supermarket, because your mom told you to buy green ones. As soon as you found the right section you're supefied by the amount of different kinds of apples. You recovered your temper and started looking for the kind of apples you need. Well done! You could distinguish red apples from green. And so, the hardest part began. You had to choose what to buy : big, juicy, shining apples or little, uninviting, wrinkled kind of apples. It goes without saying, you chose the first option, but suddenly your mom's words came to mind "Don't judge the book by it's cover. Buy apples, which looks not like they're printed on the magazine's page but like they're trampled by elephants."
As you came home you decided to find out why couldn't you buy these masterpieces. Here's what you've got :
Genetically modified food. Sounds terrifying. But in practice it's just "food produced from organisms that had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering."
Still horrific?
So, I'm not going to tell you why GM food is bad, I'll tells why it's good.
I - resistant to diseases
II - more env friendly as they require less pesticides
III - crops have a larger yield
IV - offers more nutrition and flavour
V - capable of thriving in regions with poor soil
VI - insect resistant
VII - lasts longer than not GM food
It also can help to solve the problem with famine in the world. If it's easier and more profitable to grow GM food, why not to do this? Just because it has some side effects? I don't think that it a big problem, the side effects are becoming more and more seldom, and food itself more and more delicious.

I can't stand it!
Everyone faces some situations, that provide high level of aggression or sadness. So it is quite simple, that each person has his own uncomfortable occasions, when it is hard for him to react normally and calmly.
As for me, I always get angry and even can start arguing, when the them is around importance of school education. I know too much people, who can't see the point in learning chemistry or fisics for so long just because they don't need it. And what?! I don't need history, for example, in my future profession too, but school things and subjects are needed basically. Just to be well-educated and developed person, to be able to understand all processes happening around you. So refusing utility or any subject you are saying: "I don't want to be educated". And it scares me a lot, it makes me feel really worried about our worlds future, that is why I can't just keep calm during such conversations.
Also some people who are EVERYWHERE make me irritated. They are trying to know everything about everyone just to retell it then to other persons. And the worst thing is that they often behave like your real friends, but you can't be sure, that you can lean on such person.
So, from my point of view, it is absolutely OK to find some things "out of norms", it happens because each person has his own rooms and limits of permitted, his own vision of life. For sure, it forms for person some stereotypes and beliefs, in which he is extremely convinced. So it is rather hard to start a dialog about such problematic themes with those persons. Try just to avoid this themes to get rid of arguments and conflicts with your surroundings.

Just to be well-educated and developed person, to be able to understand all processes happening around you. So refusing utility or any subject you are saying: "I don't want to be educated". And it scares me a lot, it makes me feel really worried about our worlds future, that is why I can't just keep calm during such conversations.
Also some people who are EVERYWHERE make me irritated. They are trying to know everything about everyone just to retell it then to other persons. And the worst thing is that they often behave like your real friends, but you can't be sure, that you can lean on such person.
So, from my point of view, it is absolutely OK to find some things "out of norms", it happens because each person has his own rooms and limits of permitted, his own vision of life. For sure, it forms for person some stereotypes and beliefs, in which he is extremely convinced. So it is rather hard to start a dialog about such problematic themes with those persons. Try just to avoid this themes to get rid of arguments and conflicts with your surroundings.

How safe are we?
My friend is on the internet often. He loves to DL
application files, productive programs, some
not so productive (just for fun), he loves games and so on. With so many security
programs to choose from and the many feature of each, I am not sure if he is
being as safe as can be. Nowadays people are dependent on social network sites,
they spend much of their time in the internet. In addition, in the internet
they show their phone numbers, address, photos. Moreover, they talk with
unknown people. It is dangerous. All of it because people forgot about their
safety in the internet. There are very many stories about hackers, especially
in Russia. In instance women meet boys in the social network site and begin
talking. It always has very bad consciences. We see username
and not more.
However, the course of using the internet and your
computer, you may have come in to contact with computer viruses. Many computer
viruses are stopped before they can start. Computer viruses are often spread by
attachments in email messages or instant messaging messages. That is why it is
essential that you never open email attachments unless you know whom it is from
and you are expecting it.
To help avoid computer viruses, it is essential that
you keep your computer current with the antivirus tools. Also, try not to talk
with unknown people. You should not watch strange videos and play not official games.
Remember that internet is an illusion, try live right now in real life reading
books traveling and talking with people))

Nowhere to hide
It's not a good day for your privacy – just sit down and relax as they tend to track you more and more
Nowadays there are lots of serious discussions on violation of civil rights, and the consequences of these arguments remain very unclear. The question of privacy, especially the privacy in the Internet is one of the most important and heavily discussed ones among them.
The problems appear the very moment you've gone online. First you just surf the Net, navigating through numerous websites. Although the sites don't know your name at this point, they still try to collect the possible information about you, and what is seen in their databases really excites. For example, it is possible to obtain the specifications of your computer and your web browser as well as your current location. To say more, they can even know something about your personality by, for example, tracking your search requests.
Then it turns out that a plenty of the useful services on the Internet require the users to be registered, so you're made to tell not only your name (which is possible to invent if you don't want your real name to be known), but often also your e-mail address and your mobile phone number. Now all your online activity is linked to your actual data. Obviously, the privacy policies of the majority of such services assure us that the personal information of this kind is used only in users' favour etc. However, judging by several cases we can say that when it comes down to a government request, the information on you is easily given and the conditions of use allow the services to act in this way. Finally, if you have some personal files, such as your photos, online, you've got to be prepared to find out that you're actually not the only owner because generally the government and the hackers can simply access it, and the more information you share on social networks, the more aspects of your life the world knows.
So I believe that as for today, the best way to protect your privacy and prevent lack of your personal data is not to use Internet. We can try our best to reduce the privacy issues, but no one who uses the Net is really anonymous and safe at this point.

THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, AREN'T THEM?
Nowadays a lot of stereotypes exists all over the world. Everyone uses stereotypes on a daily basis. Some of the stereotypes show good qualities of a person, for example, a common stereotype about Asian people is that they are good at math and science, but the other are offensive and humiliating. Majority of them are patently offensive for people which they treat. Also not all of them are true. We have to exclude this stereotypes from our life and to live in a consent with all people on our planet. We have to stop judging people on their nationality, race or gender. Unfortunately, stereotypes can lead to prejudice and discrimination (racism - believing that one race is better than other and sexism - believing that one gender is better than other). Stereotypically thinking can also lead to genocide. Stereotypes are one of the most important problems in our world because we use them to give an identity to people with whom we have never had meaningful contact and stereotypes harm the people they describe. We need to realize that all people are different and unique and we need to learn how to appreciate it. It is in everyone's best interest to avoid thinking in stereotypes because no one wants to be judged based on superficial characteristics and there is no such thing as a "good" stereotype. People should be defined by a combination of their personality, abilities and actions - not by group identities.

Am I Safe at my computer?
I’ve posed that question and others to myself many times. Are the e-mail’s I send truly secure? Who else can see what I see? Sure in a perfect world we all would like to believe we‘re safe but the simple fact is that we are not safe all the time and the world is not perfect. Nowadays it's really easy to “hack” somebody's computer or account on the social network.
Everyone can be hacked from regular user to government. Your personal data can be stolen and hackers will use it for there own interests. They can blackmail you or if it's a bank account they will just stole your money. With the government situation is much more serious because hackers can steal some really important information and it can cause serious problems. If you are a celebrity hackers can steal your personal photos or just any personal information about you and blackmail you to get money sometimes this information can damage your reputation or even ruin your career. The same can happen with ordinary people.
So how to be safe? Here are some tips that can help.Do not open any e-mail massages or files if you're unsure or suspicious about who sent them. If you do not have anti-virus software, it is highly recommended that you obtain and install anti-virus software on your computer and set it to check all files as they come into your computer.

Personally, I don't think that I'm in some kind of danger while I'm using my computer because I have nothing important on it so even if my computer will be hacked they won't get anything important.

Nowhere to hide
Nowadays problem of privacy
takes place in life of each person. We all know that most of the time we are
watched by cameras on the streets, in cafés or cinemas. We even are controlled
on the Internet, some robots scan our messages or listen to our phone calls and
keep this information for some reason.
Of course, one of the most
unpredictable things is the Internet. To be truthful there is no one who knows
what information of him is online and which isn’t.
Actually, there is no one
who will be totally private and it worries everyone a lot. People of course
don’t want their private information, photos to be kept ‘somewhere’. But there
are citizens who are not against of cameras because it can save us from thefts
or vandalism on the streets, in shops.
I am totally sure that the
government has all information about every person but I hope that it will be
used just in useful cases or danger of someone. Now most part of people is
against cameras but when something is happening to them everything they can do
– go to police office or check some cameras near the place of incident. This is
strange when people trying to protect their privacy impair their lives, put it
in danger.
In my opinion, nowadays private
life doesn’t exist in social world but it may be in the mind. I think people
are to submit it because there is no way to change this enormous system.
