North America

The table shows information about North American countries; Canada, Mexico, and United States.  In this essay I will talk about some of similarities and differences between these countries.

The first similarity is religion.  They are almost the same, protestant and Roman Catholic.  Next similarity is the literacy rate; US and Canada have the same rate of 97% and Mexico is 92%.  One of the common factors between US and Canada is speaking English.  However in Canada they speak French too, but in Mexico they speak Spanish.  The land area is almost equal in US Canada; it is more than 9,200,000 Sqm for both countries.  The area of Mexico is less; about 1,900,000 Sqm.  Mexico has the lowest unemployment rate by 3.2%.  US also have the same problem by 5.5%.  But Canada is the highest in this rate with 7%.  The exports of each country are different.  In US they export automobiles, industrial supplies, and agricultural products.  In Canada they export motor vehicles and aircraft.   Silver and oil are exported from Mexico.  The population is very different in US; they have around 296 million people.  In Mexico they are 107 million people.  In Canada there are 33 million people live there.

In conclusion, it is not fact that countries with same geographic location have the same life style and features.  In the case of North America the religion was common but we see some differences in languages and other aspects.

The obesity in UAE

Obesity is one problem which faces the UAE people.  Around half of the Emirati people are overweight.  This is a big problem and has an effect on the country.

          We can divide the causes into three main parts; diet, education, and lifestyle.  A lot of people like to have fast food as a favorite meal forgetting that it is oily and it affects on them.  Also, the traditional food like “ Harees and Rice” has a lot of oil.  With the modern life and office work, people are moving less and becoming less active.  Many young people prefer to eat outside the home during the day and as we know the restaurant food is not healthy.  Another point is the lack of exercise because it’s not popular although we have nice weather in winter and modern gym halls in the UAE.  The education is one of the main causes.  In my country many people lack knowledge about good nutrition.  Also, we feed the children too much which is a problem for their health.

          If we want to solve these problems we must change our culture and we must take care of ourselves.  The minister of health must do awareness projects for people about fat and its effects on our life.  We must be aware about which kind of food we eat and avoid fast food restaurants.  Also, people must do exercises daily between 30 – 60 minutes. Young people shouldn’t eat from outside the home too much because the children will do the same in the future

          In conclusion, we must take care of our health because it is the most important thing in our life.  If it is gone, it will not come back again.  These solutions must be used to solve this problem.

UAE marriage fund

Marriage is one of the most important concepts in the United Arab Emirate’s society. Long time ago, the marriage did not face obstacles as the marriage nowadays. The marriage fund was established to help young people to get married. This is a complex problem with a lot of serious causes and effects.

There are many reasons why we have this fund. One of the most important thing, marriages are expensive. Nowadays, it costs 200 thousand Dhs at least, that’s a big number. Another thing facing the young man is the loan. If you want to marry you must connect with the bank and the life will be hard with the big bank interest. It’s a very big problem. The last important cause is men marry non-Emirati women so the number of unmarried Emirati woman will increase.

The UAE marriage fund does great work, has a good effect and one of these is to provide money to the man to help him with the wedding cost. They give you 70 thousand DHS. Another reason is that the number of weddings will grow. In last 10 years the average of age of marriage decreased from 26-30 to 22-27. The last effect is that more UAE women will marry and this helps to decrease the number of spinsters (with no husband).

In conclusion, although weddings are hard, it can be easier with the UAE marriage fund. There are no more big problems in the weddings with their loan.

Watching TV too much

The child today has many ways to have fun at home and enjoy their time. TV is one of the most popular for children, but how we can solve the negative points for watching TV a long time? I will outline some problems and solutions connected with seeing too much TV.

There are many problems facing parents in the home with children. One of the biggest problems of TV watching is the effect on eyesight. A lot of child These days wear glasses and have problems with their eyes. Another issue is the effect on studies. The child loses time watching TV so there are no time for study. A final difficult point that is the child will be alone and not be a communicative person. If the child does not play in the garden he will not have the basic skills in any sports and no hobbies to do, so they cannot make friends with others.

Now I will outline some possible solutions for this problem. One answer is that the parents can control the child, for example, it’s fair if they have 2 hours to study then one hour TV or play in a garden. Another solution is to limit access, not all of TV channel are good to watch, we should choose them.

In conclusion, I think we can control our child’s life by making a schedule and how to spend their time in a good way just by taking care of them. We can prepare our child to be something important in the future.
