WOMEN AND ENVIRONMENT

Environmental books have mostly focused on men’s roles, and generally women’s involvement with nature has been ignored. So, the result is that women’s role in environmental struggles and debates about nature has been hidden from history. However, we can see women of every social class, nation, or color raise their concerns about the environment more openly. Women want to prove to the world that they can be a powerful force for positive changes in the environment and the world around them.

Women are called the main responsible actors in environmental contexts. Technological rationalization has produced environmental problems such as heaps of packaging waste, nondegradable plastics, poisoned grounds and water, allergies through use of chemicals in cosmetics, food, detergents. The “ecologically responsible housewife”, thus, is a good economical manager. She economizes energy. She is to be an expert in waste reduction, in cultivating her own vegetables and fruits, of course without using pesticides.

Women in their roles as nurses, purchasers, houseworkers are especially confronted with environmental problems and communal politics. They have to overcome a lot of difficulties: bad connections with public transport services, no buses in evening and night hours.

Women want to be involved in planning processes and be taken seriously as experts with practical experience, not only at home and at their places of work but also in politics, administration, science and in the economy.

Men also consume. And men produce waste too, - frequently toxic waste such as paint, photo chemicals, car waste. Thus, men have to attend environmental education classes as well. They must also consider their environmental responsibility.

COMPUTERS IN THE MODERN WORLD

Nowadays, we cannot imagine our life without computers. They have become so important that nothing can replace them. They seem to be everywhere today. Since 1948 when the first real computer had been invented our life has changed so much that we can call it really a digital revolution. Computers can perform many complex operations simultaneously and scientists practically can't do without them.

Most of the jobs today require the use of computers. Thanks to them people have access to enormous amount of information. Diseases can be diagnosed faster and more thoroughly. Besides, we depend on computers in such a field as criminology, they helping police to solve crimes. These “mechanical brains” made a huge impact on our society. If there had been no computers, space exploration would have been impossible. Advantages of computers are numerous. School subjects become more interesting when presented on a computer screen. Another area computers impacted on is the entertainment area. Most of the movies today use computer graphics to make things more realistic. Computers are practically irreplaceable.

However, there is also a dark side of computer technology because every invention brings us not only benefits but also threats. One of them is that you can become a computer addict. If you spend most of your free time using computer, you should go to see a psychologist. The other threat to younger users is Internet bloody games in which your mission is to kill as many enemies as possible. The main threat to children is Internet pornography.
