Laws and order in the society

To live and function in a society, we must have rules we mostly all agree upon. Sometimes these rules are informal rules, like the ones we have at home and in the classroom. Breaking these rules may have consequences, but breaking them usually doesn't mean you're going to jail. Social Norms are unwritten rules about how to behave. They provide us with an expected idea of how to behave in a particular social group or culture. For example we expect students to arrive to lesson on time and complete their work.

Sociologists speak of four types of norms: folkways, mores, taboos, and laws. Folkways, sometimes known as “customs,” are standards of behavior that are socially approved but not morally significant. For example, belching loudly after eating dinner at someone else's home breaks an American folkway. Mores are norms of morality. Breaking mores, like attending church in the nude, will offend most people of a culture. Certain behaviors are considered taboo, meaning a culture absolutely forbids them, like incest in U.S. culture. Finally, laws are a formal body of rules which are codified and applied to everyone in a particular community. Breaking them can have more serious consequences, such as going to jail or paying a fine. Virtually all taboos, like child abuse, are enacted into law, although not all mores are. For example, wearing a bikini to church may be offensive, but it is not against the law.

If one does not follow social rules and do whatever he wishes to do then there will be a chaos all around.

Energy problems in the world

This is my favorite theme. Because I am interested in ecology. Once I visited exhibition expo. The main theme was alternative energy sources. And energy sources that we use now are not really good for atmosphere.

Now after all, the production of energy for heating a house or oil for driving a car becomes the cause of air pollution.

In my hometown, for example, because of the vast number of cars smog hangs above the city and a clear sky can be seen only in the mountains.

UNESCO has been sounding global warming concerns for years now. last year, even children who read out their fears about nature in the future received the Nobel Prize.

there are not so many reasons why people are not yet concerned about the problems of pollution, modern human being has more opportunities to help nature and prevent a catastrophe. everything depends on money.

An excellent solution, for example, would be the recycling of plastic, paper and plastic. but this requires expensive factories. deforestation could be stopped, but cities continue to grow due to the fact that developers need profit thereby depriving animals of their natural habitat.

but after all, in fact, alternative forms of energy are much more efficient than oil of gas. This kind of power is renewable. It means that it will never ended.

while we can only be proud of those people who have abandoned plastic or are using biomass.

Biomass is a renewable plant source that can be used to produce heat electricity or biofuel. Some countries like Brazil for example produce bio fuel for cars from sugar cane.

Some countries even making energy from human movement cheap and abundant energy source.

and as a promoter of going to the supermarket with your own package, I hope that people will think about leaving a clean planet to their descendants.
