Task 6

Introduction

In the past there were few number of people continuing their education in the UAE, because they was a small population and also there were not a range of courses and available at universities. But these days the number of people who are continuing their education has increased because the population increase and the range of courses increased. In this essay I will discuss the positives and negatives of this development.

In the past people had a good health life because they ate healthy foods like fish met and vehtables and also they did a lot of work, but in these day people had a lot of heath problems because they don’t eats fresh food they eat from canteens. In this essay I will discuss whether I will aree or disagree with this problem

Some people think the universities should teach graduates only the skills needed in the workplace, but other people think universities should be to increase knowledge for its own sake. In this essay I will talk about this problems and I will give my opinion.

Task 4

Before there was no media but now there is media like TV, radio and newspapers. The media has shaped some people’s ideas. In this essay I will give my opinion about whether the media have a great influence or not.

        Some people agree that the media influences them by shaping ideas. For example by giving information. Also the health. For example, in TV it shows some doctor to speak about heath and what should people do for their health. The second thing is media gives more ideas about other counties. For example eg pollution for all countries and also in TV it has pictures about some countries and it speaks about some countries and this is good for people who want to travel to this country. Finally, it gives warnings about dangers. For example, dangerous driving.

                  Other people disagree that the media influences them for shaping idea. They think the great influence will be from the community like through work. Mixing with people from other countries and learning their customs and traditions. The second from home. For example, their family will give them advice for studying and also the religion will be from their imam. The final advice is from the college. For example, they will study different things in the college.

                 In conclusion I think the media don’t have a great influence because there are some thing media cannot give advice on because sometime it give a wrong idea

task3

The graph shows the population change of the largest cities in the world between 1950 to 2015. Overall, there is an increasing population trend in all major cities except London.

            The largest change in the population number is Lagos Nigeria. In 1950 Lagos had only one million people but in 2015 it will increase to 22 million. However London had a drop in population number between 1950 to 2015. It is fell from 8 million to 7 million. The largest city in 2000 was Tokyo which had 26 million. Also, the two largest cities will be Bombay and Tokyo with a population of 26 million. Between 1950 to 2015 New York increased by only one million. London had a same population between 1950 to 1970 with 8 million and between 2000 to 2015 fell to 7 million. Also, Tokyo had the same population between 2000 to 2015 at 26 million.

            In conclusion, the future population will have the largest increase in South Africa and Asia. However, there will be a drop in London.

Task 2

             People today more to new cities move than ever before. Some of them go to study and when they go there it will be different rules from their country. I will talk about problems and solutions in this essay.

            First let us look at why they will have problems when they move to new cities. The first problem is the language. For example if one person goes from UAE to England it will be a problem for them if they don’t know English. The second problem is the food. For example, there will be different food from their cities and maybe they want Muslim restaurants. Third their life style will change. For example, the culture and different traditions. For example, dress. The last problem is the driving. It may be on a different side. For example from UAE to England.

              Now let us look at solutions for the problem. The first solution is to learn the basic language. For example, they should go to learn their language before they go and then they can estimate to speak with people there. The second solution is they ask other Arabs for restaurant. For example, look for someone who came before him and know some Arab restaurant. The third solution is ask other Muslims for life style in there cities. For example, if they want the mosque they should ask Muslims people about it. The last solution is rule of driving is different from country to another country and they should know the rules.

              There are problems for and solutions to the statements they should know about the country before they go to it. They must respect the laws of the state.

Task 1

                  The graphs shows the percent of films show in Britain and Australia by origin in 2000 and cinema attendance in Britain and Australia from 1980 to 2000 by millions.

                    Graph one show the percentage of films shown in Britain and Australia in 2000. The most popular films in Britain is US films by just under 80%. There were no Australian films shown in Britain, just in Australia. The Britain films shown in Britain were 20%of films shown. The lowest films shown in Britain were others.

                   Graph two  shows cinema attendance in Britain and Australia from 1980 to 2000. The attendance in Australia dropped sharply by 20 million from 1980 to 1982. The attendance in Australia remained the same from 1984 to 1990 by 40 millions. Than it increased slightly from 40 to 90 million between 1990 to 2000. The cinema attendance in Britain is highest than in Australia. The cinema attendance in Britain fluctuated from 1980 to 2000. In the first two years it has dropped sharply by 50 millions in Britain. Than from 1982 to 1986 is increased slightly from 50 million to nearly 120 millions.

                      In conclusion, people in Britain have attended cinema more than Australia people and also the US films shown in Britain more than in Australia.

Robotics Report

Robotics has undergone a major transformation in the last decade and is accepted by industry and a variety of public institutions to improve factory efficiency and augment human performance, and a variety of public institutions. Advanced research in the new generation of robots focuses on flexible engineering design and intelligent software, combined with the revolutionary changes in micro and nano technologies in computer-assisted surgery. Robotics is the engineering science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition. Robotics is related to electronics, mechanics, and software.  Movable statues were the beginnings of what we would call robots. Today robot means any man-made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed by humans. (http://ftp.wtec.loyola.edu/robotics/welcome.htm)

In the early 1800’s mechanical puppets were first built in Europe, just for entertainment value. And these were called robots since their parts were driven by linkage and cams and controlled by rotating drum selectors. In 1801 Joseph Maria Jacquard made the next great change and invented the automatic draw loom. The draw loom would punch cards and was used to control the lifting of thread in fabric factories. This was the first to be able to store a program and control a machine. After that there were many small changes in robotics but we were slowly moving forward. In 1950 Isaac Asimov came up with laws for robots and these were: firstly a robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm. Secondly the robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the first law. Thirdly a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law. The mobile Robotics moved into its own in 1983 when Odetics introduced this six-legged vehicle which was capable of climbing over objects. This robot could lift over 5.6 times its own weight parked and 2.3 times its weight moving.  (http://www.bsu.edu/web/mawilliams/history.html )

There are 3 main components to make robots. A computer program acts as the brain of the robot. Other components are actuators and mechanical parts with motors, pistons, grippers, wheels, gears and all of them are should have a program. Yet more components are called sensors - vision, sound, temperature, motion, light, touch, and with these three components, robots can interact and affect their environment to become useful. The impact of robotics on society is mainly in manufacturing. Robots are also used in cases where they can do a better job than a human such as surgery where high precision is a benefit. And robots are used in exploration in dangerous places such as in volcanoes which allows us to learn without endangering ourselves. (http://www.arrickrobotics.com/report.html)

There are advantages and disadvantages for the robotics, as with any machine. The advantage is that the robots can do things we humans just don't want to do, and usually do it cheaper. Also, robots can do unsafe jobs like monitor a nuclear power plant or explore a volcano. Robots can do things more precisely than humans and allow progress in medical science and other useful advances. The disadvantage is that the robots are especially good at boring, repetitive tasks such as making circuit boards or dispensing glue on parts. Robots can break and even cause disaster. They are powerful machines that we allow to control certain things. When something goes wrong, terrible things can happen. Luckily, this is rare because robotic systems are designed with many safety features that limit the harm they can do. (http://www.arrickrobotics.com/report.html)

The similarities and differences between Oman, UAE and Qatar

               In the Middle East there are many different countries. There are poor and rich countries and there are countries which have a  small area and population, like Qatar and Bahrain, and  countries which have a  big area and population, like Saudi and Oman. Muscat is the capital of Oman, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and Doha is the capital of Qatar. I am going to write about the similarities and differences between these countries.                    ( http://0-online.culturegrams.com.library.hct.ac.ae/world/world_country=Oman)

               There are some distinct similarities between Oman, UAE and Qatar. The first similarity is that all of them take the coffee and tea before and after meals. Another similarity is that you should not use the left hand for shaking hands. You should use the right hand. Yet another similarity is that all of them are worried about Iran's nuclear program.                                                      (http://0-online.culturegrams.com.library.hct.ac.ae/world/world_country=United_Arab_Emirates)

                Although there are some similarities, there are also some differences. The first difference is the area. Oman has a big area, it is 309,500km2 and the UAE has a smaller area, it is 83,600km2, but Qatar is the smallest one and it is 11,586km2. Another difference is the currency. In Oman they use the Omani rial, in the UAE they use the Emirati dirham and in Qatar they use the Qatari rial. Yet another difference is the flag. The flag of Oman features three horizontal stripes of white, red, and green and one vertical stripe of red on the left-hand side, the flag of the United Arab Emirates features three horizontal stripes—green, white, and black—and one vertical stripe of red on the left side, and the flag of Qatar is dark red with a white jagged panel on the left side.                                                                         (http://0-online.culturegrams.com.library.hct.ac.ae/world/world_country=Qatar)

                 Overall the similarities outweigh the differences. All these countries are good places and have very friendly relations.
