Additional posting – Lebanon

When you need to know about a person or something, you have to look at his and its past and present.Lebanon is one example of how we can apply this concept. In this essay I will talk about the history of Lebanon and Lebanon at present.

Let’s now take a look at Lebanon’s history. A first point to consider is with regard to its location. To clarify, Lebanon is surrounded by five countries which are Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Cyprus and Israel. Another point is in term of past conflicts between Muslims and Christians. To elaborate, Christians held the balance of power and Muslims had little say of their country. In addition, in 1975 tensions reached their peak because the Phalanges attacked and killed a bus full of Palestinians in downtown Beirut. One notable concern is with regard to the economical losses. To illustrate, nearly a quarter of the population left the country and for many years Beirut’s economy was paralyzed (Eye in Lebanon 1).Last point to take note of is with respect to the peace between Muslims and Christians. For instance, in 1989 a peace deal was reached offering an equal balance between Christians and Muslims (Eye in Lebanon 1).

Having looked at Lebanon’s past, let now turn our attention to the present. One major point is regarding Social and economical recovery. To clarify, Lebanon is both oil rich, and high in demand because of its strategic geographical location within the Middle East. Another point worthy of mentioning is in terms of tourism. To make it clear, Lebanon has historical places as old as the earliest evidence of mankind. In addition, its geographic position as a crossroads linking the Mediterranean Basin with the great Asian hinterland has conferred on it a cosmopolitan character and a multicultural legacy.
Although the case of Lebanon has unique aspects, the problem of joining divergent sectors of society while repairing the built environment is not limited to Lebanon. Nowadays Lebanon is facing a lot of problems such as wine and weed spreading, poverty and the rapidly increase of unemployment rates.

Task 7 Problem solution of the global warming:-

Earth can be exaggerated by a wide range of natural events which affects our earth and natural habitat of the planet. I will focus on the subject of global warming which is now the most critical problem in the entire world. In my essay, I will examine some causes as well as consider some possible solutions regarding this issue and I will state my opinion regarding this issue.

Many problems could result from global warming; let’s now take a look at some of these problems. One notable concern is with regard to the greenhouse effect. For example, carbon dioxide emissions emitted from the burning of fossil fuels form Factories and cars. Furthermore, Human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, and coal for energy has magnified the greenhouse effect (Masibay 1).An additional factor to take into consideration is with respect to the deforestation of the green area. To illustrate, cutting down trees or burn it by natural which help to get fresh air and to prevent pollutions by sucking CO2 and producing oxygen. Yet another point worthy of mentioning is in terms of the effect on animals. To make it clear, the numbers of Polar bears is devastating due to loss of Arctic ice so these Bears have to sum long distance between ice floes (Nicklen 10).

Having looked at some causes, let’s now talk about some solution of this issue. One major solution is regarding gas emissions. For instance, as the number of car increases the gases emitted from these car increases. Mr.Wanger stated that using The Hybrid Phenomenon which is a new technology of cars that uses electrical energy instead of fuel considered being very important solution for the green house gases effect (Wagner 3). Another point worthy of mentioning is in terms of saving animals. To clarify, The “save the polar bear” campaign, which is being supported by WWF, is intended to highlight the threat global warming poses, using the

polar bear as an example - the polar bear is finding its natural habitat shrinking at an increasing rate. In addition, they implement a campaign to enhance the uptake of energy efficient MASTER TL5 fluorescent lighting solutions to reduce the consumption of energy which is one of the causes of climate change (Philips saves the polar bear 1). Yet a final result is to do with reducing the green areas. To illustrate, farms and green places should be spread all over the world because it will reduce the effects of the gases emission.

All in all, taking into account all that I have mentioned regarding this issue, there is no simple solution to this problem because it has many consequences. This issue affects both the nature and the people who live there. In my opinion I think people should change their life style to cut the consumption of energy as well as using other resources such as solar energy to reduce this problem. Also by implementing rules and regulations from Governments to reduce the gasses emissions of factories and cars can lessen the global warming issue.
