Diamonds

We can find a lot of kinds of diamonds in the world. There are many locations in world that people can get diamond from it, but it's not easy to get it. In this essay, I’m going to write about diamond history, such as the important locations.
Now, I will highlight the diamonds history. First of all, one notable concern is with regard to its discovery. To instance, many companies started their mines in their own countries. An additional factor to take into consideration is with respect to the control of diamonds. To clarify, De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd controls 2 out of 3 world's rough diamond trade and in the early 20th century it turned into global giant so it keeps the diamond price the same. Final, another company which is in Antwerp in Belgium associated by Jewish society has almost 80% of the world's rough diamonds go through this city.
A several point to consider is to regard the route of the diamonds. Firstly, the cheapest diamonds could be found in India, because 90% of the world's rough diamonds are cut and polished there. The main problem that they don’t get them from their country, they import them from other countries like Belgium, South Africa and another countries. Furthermore, another Company has become popular for their diamond is located in UAE gave many new ideas and deals to get better their diamond trade.
To sum up, diamonds have been an internationally standard symbol of love, romance and marriage. However, diamonds come from areas where war so many companies were made just to get these rough diamonds and turn them to beautiful. Trading diamonds became popular than before, because nowadays many people buy diamonds to show their personality through them.

(Task 7) Problem and solution of the global warming

There are a lot of issues that concerns people all over the world, but they agreed that global warming has become one of the main problems in our societies. But are there any solutions? In this essay, I will examine the causes of global warming and the possible solutions. Also, I will show my point of view about this problem.

First of all, we have to look at some causes which are leading to increase global warming rates. The main cause of global warming is green house gases which are kept in our atmosphere and makes a layer that sends back the warm energy and don’t let it pass to the outer space. As a result, The EIA estimated in 2007 that the emission of CO2 from fossil fuels combustion will reach 27 billion tons by the year 2010(Nagel, 2009). Another cause of global warming is the bad habits or individual activities which means human activity. To instance, people are practicing traditional building and using traditional materials that can’t be recycled. Last point is that Governments don’t put environmental protocols which are making a big threat to our earth. For example, they know that they are damaging the environment but they are forced by their industrial quarter heads to increase their economies and obviously make more money.

Having looked at some causes, let’s now talk about some solution of this issue. First of all, renewable energy resources like solar energy, wind and other earth resources. To clarify, by using these renewable energies together, they will provide any country with five times more electricity than they need (UCSUSA, 2009). Secondly, vehicles in general like cars and trucks are contributing to emissions of CO2. For instance, it depends on the miles travelled and the amount of fuels used, to decrease the fuel used by increasing the efficiency of the engines or use hybrid cars that don’t use fossil fuels. Yet another major solution is by changing people’s style of life. To illustrate, they can reduce the electricity by concentrating on their basic needs and people should reduce their waste and use goods that can be recycled.

In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem that threatens humankind and other creatures. Now scientists are still trying to find more solutions for it. However, in my opinion, in the future, all peoples and governments have to work together to apply the solutions because the problem is not belong to scientists only.
