Rapid development


The UAE is one of the most highly developed countries in the world. Abu Dhabi city has a rapid development and that may cause some effect. This essay will examine the causes of rapid development in Abu Dhabi and look at some of the effects.

There are several causes for Abu Dhabi's rapid development. One of the main causes of rapid development is oil wealth and what it has brought. Because of Abu Dhabi wealth by the oil, the city infrastructure has developed. For instance, they can build the roads, park, and public transport. Another contributing factor is vision of the people and leader. The reason is there are a lot of educated people help to develop the city and we have a wise leader.

Rapid developments have some positive consequences for Abu Dhabi. The biggest effect is on the environment. For example, the government has built the hospitals and roads and they replaced the sands to a green city. Also they are interested in the agriculture. Another adverse effect is on the people. For instance, in Abu Dhabi they have increase the health care class by increase number of hospitals and the type of medicine. Furthermore the housing and education has increase too.

Rapid developments have some positive consequences but there are many negative outcomes. The major effect is on the environment. When the city has rapid development there are a lot of vehicles and factories and all pollute the air. Another adverse effect is the people. The foreigners vs. tradition and that cause our traditions to the lost.

Overall, Abu Dhabi is rapid development is caused by the oil and wise leaders. However, we can gain from the positive effect and I hope to solve the negative effect.

How to buy conflict-free diamond




Diamonds are most expensive stones in the world. Every one like to have diamonds but, have you think how to buy conflict-free diamonds. In this essay I will describe the steps to make sure that the diamonds are conflict-free.

There are some difference ways to have a guarantee about your diamonds. First, you have to ask your jeweler about diamonds and where it comes from. Second, if you have any doubts you should ask for a guarantee from your diamond suppliers stating that your diamonds are conflict-free. Third If I were I would ask for a copy of the company policy but if he refuses I am going to another jeweler shop. Fourth, if I know the jeweler I will ask him if the diamonds are smuggled. In addition I will not buy the conflict diamonds because I want to decrease those civil wars.

As you can see it easy to buy conflict free diamonds if follow this steps I mentioned above.

The World Diamond Trade

First of all what is the diamonds. The diamonds is very valuable stones made of carbon. It needs two conditions to transfer from carbon to diamond. One is an extreme pressure and the other is the high temperature. Most of the world diamonds are producing in Africa. There were a lot of mining companies in the world the biggest one is "De Beers Consolidated mines Ltd". This company does most of work in South Africa because the diamond is available in this place. In addition to this the company controls about two thirds of the world's rough diamonds.

However, 90 percent of the world rough diamonds are cut and polished in India. The reason of this high percent is the low price. It cost 40 cent for each gem and I think that is not fair. Furthermore, Dubai now is the diamonds hub and the reason is special deal that provides 50 years with zero tax. In the last the wealthy and stars like to buy the diamonds because they can pay for the expansive price.

As you can see it is amazing topic and I hope you are find something interesting in it.

POPULATION GROWTH



INTRODUCTION

Population is an important topic and I chose it because the people worry about it. In the past the number of people was small except in some places such as big cities. After that the population was continually increasing. In 1650 there was only 500 million on the world wide and this grew to 1 billion in 1840. Nowadays, however, the population on the earth has hit 6.5 billion. Some people are very worried about the ability of the world to sustain these huge numbers. Others are more optimistic and believe that humans will soon find ways to deal with this increase. This essay will talk about the problems of population increase and the ways to deal with it.



HISTORY OF POPULATION GROWTH

The population of country is the number of people living in a country. In 1840 there was only one billion on the earth. The population on the earth has now almost hit 6.5 billion. ("People's Daily Online"). In the past number of people was increasing and decreasing in different period because there were wars and epidemics. In 2025 the world population will rise to eight billion and it will be 9.3 billion in 2050. ("People's Daily Online ")


DEFINITION OF OVERPOPULATION



Overpopulation is Excessive population of an area to the point of overcrowding, depletion of natural resources, or environmental deterioration and when the density increase in random way. The quality of life drop and the population collapsed. ("Wikipedia"). Bangladesh has overpopulation because the high number of people and a few sources. In addition 1 million are added every year. (Lutton). Saudi Arabia is representing more than twice the combined population of the other Gulf countries. (Husain). In addition we have the population density. For example, the tiny country of Monaco has the world's highest population density. With an area of 1.2 of a square KM and a total population of 32,000, Monaco has a density of almost 27000 people per square KM. (Rosenberg). So this is too high number.



THE PROBLEM OF POPULATION INCREASES

There are a number of major problems For example, if the world population continued to grow at the current rate, the earth would not be able to sustain its population and the number of people will decrease. ("People's Daily Online"). In addition to this the population in the past wasn't a problem but now when it is growing rapidly it makes huge problem. Another problem is shortage of resources. Over 1.1 billion have no safe drinking water and 2.6 billion people have lack basic health care. On the other hand the reason for rapid growth of population is health care. Nowadays the health care has improved and scientists have found medicine for a lot of diseases. In the last 60 years population growth is putting a lot of pressure on health care systems in countries such as Namibia ("Population Growth").

Another thing is standard of living. For instance, if you have money you will not care about your children's future because you will have guarantee about their life. (Husain). A lot of African countries will lose their adult population to AIDS through the next 10 years. These huge growths of population make several problems. In India millions of adults are HIV positive, more than the other nation.



There is not enough land for farming cropland per person is shrinking. ("Our Demographically Divided World").Gulf countries will need five million new housing units in the next 10 years because they have a big increase in population. (Husain).







On the other hand there are some positive effects. First, the rapid population growth stimulates economic and technological developments. (Lutton). In addition to this the low population growth does not appear to have harmed productivity like UAE. Besides the low population such as in Australia are currently enjoying the greatest advanced and rises in living standards such as the health and education. Furthermore Africa can feed twice the world population. (Lutton).




UAE POPULATION

There is a huge difference between the populations in 1995-2005 in UAE. In 1995 it was 2,411,041 but in 2005 it was 4,104,695 and that is an increase of 74.8%. The national males are 50.7% and the national females account for 49.3% so that is almost same. ("UAE population"). In addition to this the illiteracy of the UAE is 9% for both nationals and non-nationals. Males make up 67.6% of the UAE population. On the other hand the females are 32.4% of the population. ("UAE population"). Dubai is already under pressure to meet a shortfall in housing that is pushing property rents higher. The Gulf countries companies have cash and expertise to make varied projects like emerging regional markets and International Finance Corporation like Dubai Financial Market and Abu Dhabi Securities Market. (Husain). The UAE until now is not overpopulated but, if the population growth is continue in the same ratio it could become a big problem.




SOLUTION

As you can see there are several problem but we have some solution. First, increase the standard of life. For example, if you have to pay for every thing such as education, health and another things maybe you will spend a lot of money. Besides this the people automatically decrease the number of children in the coming few year. ("Population Growth"). Countries with low populations are currently enjoying the greatest advanced and rises in living standards. (Lutton). The low population growth does not appear to have harmed productivity. Furthermore, we have to do birth control. In these ways we can control the increase of population. Finally the world agricultural resources can feed 40 billion people.




CONCLUSION

As we know population is an important topic and we have to worry about this rapid increase in it. In my opinion, people should not have more than two children. I believe that population growth will decrease if we follow these suggestion. The population growth is a huge problem and I hope we can solve it.
