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.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

HERNIA

Hernia occurs in an individual when part of the intestine pushes through the wall of the abdomen and appears as a bulge at the site. There are many sites where hernia can occur, although the commonly encountered type is that found in the groin. This type of hernia is known as femoral or inguinal hernia. Hernia may occur on the navel or near it. The hernia which occurs on the navel is called umbilical hernia, while that which occurs close to it is known as paraumbilical hernia. These two types of hernia are less common than the femoral type.   Groin hernia occurs more commonly in males, but can also occur in females in a few cases. In this kind of hernia, there is a weakness in the abdominal wall in the groin region about midway across the groin. It may appear on either side or, sometimes on both sides. A good sign is that swelling increases, initially it can be pushed back manually into the body. Later on, it gets bigger still and lies almost permanently outside the body, especi...
