COPYCAT

The world is changing everyday, so are the people in it. Right from our mother's wombs, we grow and change. The world is growing into a huge family with all the people in different countries, knowing about, sharing and caring for one another. This is all due to change, so change is very important to us. But how do people change?  One way is by copying what we see on television and films. We learn new things from the radio, especially from news, reports and stories. We also learn by traveling to other lands to see how the people there live. We imitate what we read in books, magazines and newspapers about other country that we think are more developed than ours.
    It is important to note that no country or group of people or even a person can live alone without others. We need to associate with people of other countries to share, borrow and exchange ideas and methods. However, being copy-cats can be both good and bad. In some countries you can see the benefits of copying some ideas, which includes education, health, housing, agriculture, trade and industries by ideas we borrowed from these countries.
     Just as we are quick in copying the good things foreign and developed countries, we are also quick in picking up some habits. This is true, especially in areas like their culture and way of life which are quite different from ours. Some adult females try to look like the whites by bleaching their skins to make them lighter. In most cities in the country, you will find mostly the young boys wearing ear-ring on one ear and having funny hair styles. They wear jeans and boots or even winter jackets, that are not suitable for our climate.
   Crime has greatly increased partly because of the influence of foreign films youths watch on television, such young people have little or no respect for their culture again and there elders.

However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

Housing Problems

Housing is certainly one of the basic necessities of man. However when rural dwellers migrated to the urban areas in very large numbers, housing has become a problem. This further exacerbate by the upsurge in the number of people coming to stay in a country, increasing the country's population in a manner that surpasses the rate at which houses are built, and the relative in cash flow which makes people desires better living conditions.    The importance of housing is so universally acknowledge that the United Nations declared 1986 international year of shelter. But so far, all efforts made, including building of housing estates by the government, have not solved the problem of inadequate housing. How could this be solved? The government should make provision of amenities to be getting in cheap rates, various building materials such as cement, roofing sheets, asbestos, as well as finishing materials such as paints and tiles. The government should build and sell the house at a...

Why women have sex

Why do women have sex? And why do women have sex without commitment? It might be easy to assume that a woman’s sexuality is like a man’s, but if that were true, why would so many men still believe that there are good girls for marrying and fun girls for, well, fun? (That double standard is a myth, by the way.) Before you label her one thing or the other, consider her motives for hooking up with you. We all love a good throw down every now and again because, let’s be real, it’s a great time. But guys, here’s a little secret: Sex is more than just an evening (or afternoon or morning) of fun. In fact, according to science, getting busy on the regular can benefit your overall health in some pretty major ways.   Below are some reasons women have sex: Sex lowers your blood pressure One study shows that sexual intercourse specifically—as opposed to masturbation or other forms of sex play—has a significant impact on lowering systolic blood pressure (the first number on your blood pre...
