Which is better, private school, public school or homeschooling? As John F. Kennedy said, "a child miseducated is a child lost". Each family wants to make their children well educated. One of the important steps on the way to high-level of education is the choice of school. Whether it is public or private, here are the good and bad of both. Also, some parents preferred to teach their children by themselves, which calls "homeschooling". Let us talk about all of these ways. Private schools, also known to many as independent schools, are fully supported by the payment of fees. There are a lot of distinguished leaders in politics, business and society, who finished a private school. These schools have a lot of advantages: individualised attention for the students due to smaller classes; better access to learning resources; a wide range of specialisations such as arts, athletics and science; more strict discipline and promotion of learning. One of the main drawbacks is a cost: few can afford this type of education. Also, private schools increase inequality and cultivate elitism. Public schools, as opposed to private schools, usually are far more affordable to attend, because these school are funded by local government. Public schools may also provide a lot of free activities for a students such as sports, arts and swimming pools. Another advantage is children learn how to be a part of a big and diverse social community. One the other hand, one of the main issues of government schools is overcrowding, thereby leading to a lack of discipline and individual attention for each student. Also, some public schools have a poor access to learning resources. Some parents also choose homeschooling for their children. One of the main benefits is parent can be satisfied that his child is learning in a proper way. It gives more educational freedom and flexibility. Also, homeschooling is safeguarding children from school bullying. On the other hand, it forces parents to be more responsible, because they have to plan school-time and activities and handle the administrative work of being a teacher. Also, homeschoolers have less communication with peers, which can make a negative impact to their socialisation. As stated above, each of these variants has negative and positive sides. First of all, family's choice should be based on individual characteristics of the child and family. As for me, private schools have more advantages then public schools or homeschooling, but I agree that there are many types and many various wonderful schools.

Is prom worth the cost? A promenade dance, most commonly called a prom, is a semi-formal dance of high school students. This tradition is widely distributed all over the world, but it is the most popular in the United States. Prom has advantages, as well as disadvantages. According to those, an every student should decide for himself about participation in such kind of events. It depends on many personal factors, but, in my opinion, it doesn't worth it. One the one hand, there are many positive reasons for prom. Basically, for many students high school is a place, where they spent four years of their lives. In most cases, people get used to school during this time. In some sense, it is the high point of student's life and a ritualised transition from childhood to adulthood. Also, it is a great opportunity for students to relax and spend time with friends after hard work for months of study. For many people it could be the last event they attend with their high school friends. One the other hand, proms have lots of disadvantages. First of all, it is very expensive. According to statistics, the average household spend about $1,100 on prom-related experience. The major reason for that is the popularity of social media. That is why every student wants to look perfect. Another negative consequence is teens more likely to be involved in a car accident, during the prom season. A third of alcohol-related teen traffic fatalities occur between April and June, which is considered the peak of prom season. Those reasons incline me to a negative perception of prom. It worth mentioning a few things that have an impact on popularity of prom. First, popular movies and novels attest to the importance of prom themes. Then, an impact of previous generations to current generation. According to the tradition, this generation will tell the next generation about importance of prom. Also, prom important for economy, because there is an entire industry based of renting formal costumes to prom attendees, renting limousines or buses. Many historians believe that proms may have existed at colleges as early as the late 19th century. In spite of the long history, prom does not lost its popularity and continues to be a notable celebration in the social climate of high schools. Moreover, year by year it becomes more common. There are pros and cons of attending proms. As I said early, I don't think that it worth it. You can have a good time with company of close friends or family.

How can we make football safer? Football is one of the most popular sport games in the world. About 1.04 million American boys participated in a high school football program. The game requires conditioning and strength training. It also teaches the value of teamwork, leadership and having a good work ethic. However, despite all benefits, there are lots of dangerous consequence including concussions, fractures and meniscus tears. These injuries can sometimes be fatal. How can we make football safer? First, we must to ensure that at least one doctor attends on the sidelines in each game. Some schools do not have a trainer and they can not evaluate players immediately. The presence of a doctor helps to provide medical care expeditiously and may help to prevent fatal cases. Moreover, according to a new safety rule of NFL, an injury spotter can stop the game if a player appears to have suffered from a brain injury. Second, we have to strengthen a medical examination during a gap between seasons. It is very important to detect health problems at an earlier stage. In most cases initial diagnostics is the key to prevention of serious problems. If we had located such kind of problems early, we would have prevented many deaths. Third, in my personal opinion, we must prohibit children below 12 years old to play football at all. The negative impacts of the sport are growing exponentially for young people. According to a study published in the journal Nature’s Translational Psychiatry, injuries in that age are more dangerous and may have more adverse effects for their future lives. There are lots of other ways to keep yourself in fit and develop your strengths. In conclusion, then, one thing is clear: even though football has lots of indisputable benefits, we can not ignore its disadvantages. Huge popularity of football involves more and more young players. So, if we can not give up playing such kind of dangerous game, we should take care of that safety.

What causes the break-up of marriages? According to statistics from sociologists, the world divorce rate has increased by 251.8% since 1960. Moreover, this number is rising exponentially. There are a lot of reasons why people decide to break up their marriage, but the most popular are infidelity, money problems and lack of communication. Infidelity is one of the most common causes of divorces. Studies have found that men are inclined to infidelity due to sexual relations, while women often could cheating for lack of emotional closeness. The couples who separate concepts of sex and love are more likely accept situations when infidelity occurs, but in most cases it leads to divorce. Many partners are also face the challenge in a way of family finances. Spouses often have different level of income, financial goals or money habits. Money and stress do seem to go hand in hand for many pairs, which causing a power struggle and can strain a marriage to the breaking point. Communication is an extremely crucial process in marriage as well. Lack of contact leads to resentment and frustration for both, that impacting all aspects of marriage. Spouses, who yelling at each other, not talking enough through out the day or trying to prove yourself, are at risk their relations. On the other hand, good communication is the key to strong marriage. No marriage is easy. Many couples end up in courtrooms, even if they had the best intentions. That's why it's so important to detect problems early on. Only together spouses can overcome the challenges and preserve their marriage.

What research offers the most promising help for disabled people? According to statistic of the World Health Organisation, around a billion people have a disability worldwide. Disabled people have difficulties in many parts of the live. In the meantime, modern technologies can help them to improve their quality of life to the extent possible. About 39 million people in the world are blind. There are many technologies that can help them to interact with the world nowadays. Let's take, by way of example, an a smartphone application which called "AIPOLY Vision". It helps to recognise products on shelves in a supermarket or read pointers. One of the main benefit of the application is the ability to work without an Internet connection. In addition, it actually learns from what it sees and it sends its newly objects up to the cloud, wich could help to make the application smarter in the future. Modern research in bio-electronics and 3d printing are helping to people with amputated limbs and give them extra functionality. For example, in 2014 Ontario-based Thalmic Labs released an armband called Myo. It can control computer devices by reading the electricity, wich produced by user's muscles. Then these signals are sending wirelessly via Bluetooth to the device. Year by year, these and similar technologies are becoming more perfect and cheaper. Virtual Reality also has a lot of potential for disabled people. One example is a virtual reality system, developed by a team of researchers at The University of Haifa, Israel. The system trains children with autism how to cross the road. It simulates a street with traffic signals and cars, which children can interact with. It allows to teach children safely and without danger. Another example is using Virtual Reality simulators to try out-of-reach experience such as climbing, diving or skateboarding. Thera are a lot of disabled people in the world. Even though technologies allow them to interact with the world in more and more comfortable way year by year, it doesn't change the fact that we must keep on supporting them. Only by that way we can help them to live a full life.

How is the Internet affecting our intelligence? According to statistic, over 55% of the world's population use the Internet every day. Moreover, this number is rising exponentially, and it will increase to 70% by 2025. We can't deny the Internet's impact on our life. But how does it impact on our intelligence? In my opinion, it could be good, as well as bad. On the one hand, we can use the Internet in more positive ways than one. Let's take, by way of example, education. The Internet allows us to learn all new sort of things. There are a lot of educational resources available online, for almost every topic. Moreover, million of books, journals and other materials are accessible through the Internet. We can use them to improve our knowledge in those areas that interest us. On the other hand, there are a lot of negative impacts of the Internet too. Let's take an information overload, for instance. There is too many information which we consume every day. When we are dealing with too much information, it is impact to our ability to make decisions, contemplate and communicate with other people. It can adversely affect our work, school and personal life. Moreover, it can lead to depression, lack of concentration and loss of ability to achieve goals. As shown above, the effects of the Internet to people can be both positive and negative. Bearing in mind the rate of growing up the global web, there is a need to manage this technology for man’s overall benefit. Using the Internet, we can improve our intelligence, but first we have to learn how to deal with those disadvantages.

The negative impacts of advertising in the fashion industry on our life Many companies use advertising to promote they products nowadays. Main objectives of advertising are to inform customers about products, to catch the consumer’s attention to the products and to force consumers to buy the products. I would like to discuss about the advertisings in the fashion industry - one of the most profitable industry in the world. Today a lot of consumers are overwhelmed by advertising. The effect that advertisements have on the customers is change everything from their fashion to their lifestyle in the society. The advertising dictates our every step - how should we look, what should we feel or what should we buy. Eventually it make us try to be fashionable and "normal". We spend a lot of time and money for things that we don't need, but we should have because of society. We hurt our health and change our perception about yourself. What should we do to change it? In my opinion, though we can't change the industry at this moment completely, we can adjust yourself. There are a few steps which we can use to become more happy and independent. First of all, we should reduce the information noise. There are a lot useless information that we consume every day. We can make our mind more calmer if we do reduce the most part of the information noise to the extent possible. Advertising can't impact you if you do not consume it. Then, we should work with the idea of accepting yourself. In my opinion, it's one of the hardest step. The fashion industry makes us obsessed with perfect body image. Women want to be thinner; men want to be more muscular. Our dependence on social approval making a lot of money for the industry. Third, we can discourage the fashion industry. Most of us don't need to change clothes from season to season to feel good. The less money you spend, the more loss it will take for the industry. Some people might say that these steps are too simple and they won't impact to the fashion industry at all. Well, in my opinion, the more people engaged in it, the strongest effect it will make. You should decide for yourself - either you want to live obsessed by the fake values or you want to have more control on your life, your mental health and your money. We are beautiful just the way we are. Make the first step and share it with your friends. We simply cannot live without ads if we want to be a part of modern society, but a significant reduction is possible using the aforementioned methods.
