I belive that beeing a vegetarian becouse of the way someone sees the world and wants to protect animals is a very nobal thing to do. However I don't think I could ever become one. At least not for now. I am growing up in a very meat-eating familly. They have always told me that meat is good for me and that it provides a lot of protein as well as many important minerals. I have tried to turn vegetarian a couple of times though. Unfortunately it never stuck to me. I guess the habbit of eating meat is just ingrained too deeply in me. Also the fact that meatless foods are not so easily available in our country does not help eather. Luckily I am not one of those people who despise vegtarians or vegans. I have met some of those people and I have to say I am not sure what is their motivation to do that really. After all if you think that something is right for you and for the environment than you should go ahead and do it.

Through out the years a vision of a real man has changed drasticly. In past centurys men have beed portrayed as the ones who hunt, fight or protect familys in general. Times have changed, people have changed. We no longer have to hunt, we have become much more civilized. What we now need is for men to respect us women. There has been enough violence and assoults against women. This is the time when we raise our voices and let everyone know that we have had enough. A real man schould never raise his hand on a woman. He should never think that there is something that could possibly make him more privileged to contravene someone elses space in any way without that person's consent. All we want right now from man is consideration for us and our right to own our dignity. There is still a long way ahead of us, but I do believe that with time and devotion we will achive our goal even though it is something that should have been obvious for a long time now.

While school has many advantages and surely is servicable, unfortuntely it will not fully prepare us for life. It does give us the knowlage that we will need for college and we do learn the basic rules of interpresonal relations as well as savoir vivre but it does not teach us about important aspects of life that we will need for our future. Contrary to the rules valid in school we do not always need to be obedient. We do not always need to raise our hands when we want to say something. Outside of school we are allowed to express ourselves. Our future employers will not want us to do something only when they ask for it, they will expect us to have our own inovative ideas. We should be allowed to be creative. We schould be allowed to work with an open mind. After all the greatest inventions were not created by people who blindly followed the crowd.

 £600 seems like quite an absurd price to pay for a night at a hotel. Many people work incredibly hard to make that amount of money. However at the same time there are people who wouldn't even hesitate before spending a night at the Mandarin Oriental for even more money. The salary that people earn all over the world is very diverse. A difference in worth of each currency all across the world is also quite significant. For example most of Americans wouldn't care much for a dollar when in some other country one dollar is worth quite a lot. Despite that, the fact that £600 per night at a hotel is quite much is undeniable.

Putting an end to being a throwaway society would be hard, but not impossible. People nowadays hardly ever think about the cosequences of living a not eco friendly life. We should try to raise awarness around the topic of protecting our environment and the threats that come with living a wasteful lifestyle. In order to do that we could organise events promoting environment friendly activities such as recycling. We should try to be better to our surrounding. With hard work and patience we might actually see positive changes in the society. After all, Earth is our only home and it should be crucial for us to protect it.
