...to be cancer-related. Secondhand smoke has been linked to heart and respiratory disease; lung, breast, cervical, and nasal sinus cancers; strokes and miscarriages. In children, dangers include sudden infant death syndrome, fetal growth impairment, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and middle-ear disease. People who smoke subject themselves to deadly diseases, as well as long- and short-term health problems. Non-smokers should not have to live with the consequences of smokers' actions. http://www.publishyourarticles.net/knowledge-hub/essay/an-essay-on-should-smoking-be-banned-in-public-places.html Many surveys, studies and scientific research has proved that smoking is injurious to health. Smoke is unhealthy and suffocating. It pollutes the environment. There are two types of smokers - active and passive. The person who smokes is active and other who are near to him and inhale the smoke are passive smokers. Both are equally affected by the ill effects of smoking. Smokers and non-smokers meet at many places like offices, buses, hotels, etc. So, considering the bad effects of smoking on individual's health, environment as well as individual rights, it should be banned in public places. A person who wants to smoke can do so by keeping himself in isolation. The smoking of cigarette is glamorized through advertisements. More and more young boys and girls are attracted by this. Even the 'statutory warning' on the cigarette packets does not stop them. The young generation think that...

...Compare the methods the poets use to explore the connection between people and the places in which they live in ‘Hurricane Hits England’ and one other poem. In the two poems ‘Hurricane Hits England’ and ‘Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan’ both poets use a variety of literary techniques such as the setting style and themes to invoke within the reader a sense of the narrators nationality in the poem. The poem ‘Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan’ is set in England with a girl remembering her previous life in Pakistan. The poet Moniza Alvi depicts the dilemma of the young Asian girl who is growing up in England but family and relatives are strongly rooted in Pakistani culture and traditions. She feels lost, she’s confused about her identity and she feels ‘half-English.’ This indicates that she is not truly identifying with English cultures. The poem is written as a first person narrative to enable us to share her story, the reader can identify more easily with one person. Imagery is used throughout the poem, ‘Glistening like an orange split open.’ This enables the reader to visualise, hence become more involved and the poem becomes more alive. The conflict between her two cultures felt by this young girl is juxtaposed throughout the poem this reinforces the differences between the two nationalities. ‘My salwar kameez didn’t impress the school friend.’ Her friends did not like beautiful, top quality, traditional Pakistani clothes. The poet also makes a political comment by...

...society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values. Educating children to understand the need to obey rules and respect others always begins in the home and is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents. They will certainly be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world. However, learning to understand and share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. Once a child goes to school, they are entering a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home. At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole-variety of backgrounds from the wider society. This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community. But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill, it is something that an individual goes on learning throughout life and it is the responsibility of every member of a society to take responsibility for helping the younger generation to become active and able members of that...

...There is a story last month telling that an old lady was tricked into buying loads of dried abalone, thinking them to be from Japan worth thousands of dollars but in reality those are produced in mainland and hardly worth a few hundred bucks. They pretended to be mobile hawkers, selling dried abalone on the street. The victim approached and started to examine the goods, while the accomplice, disguised as passerby, also approached and made comments on the cheap dried abalones. She made statements such as how good quality the dried abalones were in, how cheap those were, and how profitable it would be to buy those here and sell it somewhere else. Believed that the accomplice was some random person who coincidentally passed by, the old lady, the victim was convinced that buying those in the given price was an good idea. However the old lady flinched upon hearing how much those costed. Now the accomplice said she would share the cost with the victim half-half, with intention to buy those dried abalones herself. Again, thinking the accomplice to be a benign, goodhearted woman, she thought it is the opportunity of the year to make a margin. With her guard down, the victim paid $3000, only to be told by her son that those abalones were available in proper stores for around $300. Scam? In my housing estate? It is more likely than you think! Now one may say that the old lady should share the responsibility of being gullible enough to be tricked, but that is an argument I do not agree...

...is the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household or an institution for people needing professional care or supervision. This definition describes home in the most basic form that truly has no other meaning. The first definition does not take into account the millions of people who possibly do not have a permanent residence or who has no family. It seems to suggest home is a place without personal value; well I think that the term home has a considerably large amount of personal significance that give it a different definition depending on each individual. Home is a place that one would want to go to. “I just want to go home”, clearly indicates a want to go to a certain place. This goes back into the notion that home does not specifically have to be a house. There are plenty of people who feel at home in places that are nowhere close to a permanent residence. There are some people who live in the city, but feel like they are at home when they visit the mountain side. To feel at home, I think, constitutes being at home no matter where it may be. It is a place where people can be content or possibly happy. Home is a place where one could live according to who they feel that they are. Home is a place of expression. It may seem like this is only true for those who own their own house and can decorate it according to their personal preference. This is true; however, the beginning statement could be true for people growing...

...keeping authority on those spaces, accessibility to public spaces usually is liable to some restrictions and regulations. In that point, public spaces are more public for some people, while they are less public to others. That can lead to the emergence of ‘moral geographies’ or ‘the idea that certain people, things and practices belong in certain spaces, places and landscapes and not in others. 1 Private space can be basically defined opposite of public spaces. That is to say, those places are not welcomed for everyone and accessing those places requires some necessities. In that periphery, my report is aiming to introduce some facts and publicness of Helsinki Railway Station. I approach the case in terms of diversity, physical design and accessibility of station. In the end, I tried to put Helsinki Railway Station in a model of public space with the help of my research on Station. Addition to that, I discuss what can be done to provide more access and public station. Firstly, we can start with history of Helsinki Railway Station. It’s in 1862 that we had a the first railway line Finland, while the first railway station was built a year earlier.2 The building inaugurated in 1919 just after the First World War, was actually a complex, main station with halls catering to the circulation of large number of people an office building and the accentuated monumental clock tower.3 In many European States the railways cut through pre-industrial often medieval city cores, while...

People can find places where the environment is enriched with nature or some other places where the center of attention is when the sun goes down and the incredible illuminations get all over the streets.

...the making of a place often involves identity and that the role of place is important in creating identity specially when we examine the making of a sexual orientation identity such as gay people. This article shows how the elements of identity or I should say the characteristics of identity define the gay community of West Hollywood. West Hollywood in California has become one of the largest gay communities in the world. The people living in this outlined community are defined as gay people because they have been or identify themselves with the seven elements that identify gay people. These characteristics are defined in creativity, aesthetic sensibility, orientation towards entertainment or consumption, progressiveness, responsibility, maturity, and centrality. West Hollywood reinforces and welcomes individuals with these characteristics in lifestyle. I am not saying every gay person possesses these seven elements, however West Hollywood has become the one place where persons who have some or all of these characteristics seem to roam or go to this particular area because it has defined itself as a gay community. Many gay men have moved here specifically as it has been defined as a place where they can actually, "come out" without being ridiculed. They can be accepted here for who they are and what they have been defined as because they were born with these elements. They can use this place because it has been defined by the same elements that define gay people. The media in West...

...Contextualisation of study: Sense of place is a complex (Kaltenborn, 1998:185; Jivén & Larkham, 2003:67 & Malpas, 2008:200), elusive and vague (Williams & Stewart, 1998:18; Shamai & Ilatov, 2005:467) concept in academic literature. Authors such as Schofield and Szymanski (2011:3) and Nanzer (2004:363) regard sense of place as a subjective and personal feeling towards a place. Stedman (2003:673) and Relph (2001) on the other hand, view sense of place as incorporating the objectively shared attributes of the environment and the subjectively distinctive experiences of it. Different authors conceptualised sense of place as either physical constructions (Cullen, 1964; Lynch, 1960; Norberg-Schultz, 1980 & Steele, 1981), individual experiences (Jivén...

...Beach: The Definitive Place of Los Angeles When many people think of Los Angeles, they have these preconceptions that Los Angeles is associated with shopping, entertainment, art, the beach, and its well-known sense of escapism it offers many people who live there. Considering this is how most of the world views Los Angeles, these are their preconceptions when they come here to visit. When foreigners come here, they tend to believe that Los Angeles is a place that is stricken with glamor and elegance. This ideology is attributed to the modern Hollywood film culture that Los Angeles is closely associated with. However, once they come here they realize that, just like most cities, Los Angeles has an upper class suburban area that is very enjoyable for those who live there, and a sketchy urban area which is not as pleasant as the well-kept suburban areas. Unfortunately, there are very few places where you can experience all of these aspects of Los Angeles. This is due to the fact that Los Angeles is a very fast paced city, which sometimes makes it difficult to experience the city the way you intended. However, Venice Beach is a place where you can experience everything Los Angeles is associated with: its shopping, entertainment, art, and the beach. Unlike most places, Venice Beach is very rare in the sense that is offers the more sophisticated side of Los Angeles, while also capturing the city’s more sketchy side as well. Venice Beach is a very attractive place for many tourists...
