Mobile Phone Good or Bad Everywhere you go nowdays, you see people using mobile phones, From school children re-

tired people, you see them talking in the supermarket, or trains, in the street,everywhere! So what are the advantages of mobile phones? First of all, they are very convenied because you can phone from nearly anywhere. Another

advantage is that they are really useful in emergency situations. For example, if you are alone in your car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In addi-

tion, you can also use your mobile yo text your friends or connecr to the Net. However, there are disadvantages such as the cost. Mobile phone calls cost more than normal

calls. Furthermore, it can be annoying if you are on a train or a bus and you have to listen to someone else’s boring conversation. Finally, people can contact you anywhere, at any time, unless you switch your phone off!

In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I feel mobile phones are a good thing because they give us more freedom and make communicatin easier.

Abbortion A Controversial Issue For years, abortion has been an extremely controversial subject. One important aspect of the

controversy is wheter a woman should be permitted by law to have an abortion and, if so, under what circumstances. Another is wheter, and to what extent laws should protect the unborn, People who wish to legally limit of forbid abortions describe themselves as pro-life.Those who believe that a woman should have the right to have an abortion may refer to themselves as pro-choice

Arguments against abortion are based on the belief that an abortion is the unjustified killing of an unborn child. Most people who oppose abortion believe that human life begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg. Another argument against abortion is that laws allowing it on demand will increase irresponsible pregnancies and lead to disrespect for human life. The Roman Catholic Church is a chief opponent of abortion, Conservative branches of other religions also oppose abortion.

Many People approve of abortion under certain circumstance, Some approve of abortion if a woman’s life or health is endangered by her pregnancy. Other recommend abortion when there is danger that the child will be born with a serios mental of physical defect. They also approve of abortion when pregnancy has resulted from rape or incest.

Many people who think that a woman should have an abortion distinguish between human life and person hood. They argue that person implies both the capacity for self-conscious thought and acceptance as a member of a social community. These people believe a fetus is not a person and is thus not entitled to right normally given to a person. Such pro-choice supporters agree with the view that birth represent the beginning

Another pro-choice arguments is that legalisting abortion has eliminated many illegal abor-tions performed by unskilled practioners under unsanitary conditions. These abortion often cause deaths and permanent reproductive injuries. Abortion on demand also perevents many unwated births and may thus be a factor in lowering infant and child abuse, neglect, and death rates, Also some argue that women should not have to bear unwanted children in a world with a growing population and diminishing natural resources.

As a result of this controversy, abortion laws vary from contry to contry. In Russia, where abortion has been legal since 1920, it is allowed up to about the fourth month of pregnancy, purely on request, and is commonly used as a method of birth control. In some countries, such as Philippines, Indonesia, and Banglades, abortion is only allowed when pregnancy threaters the mother’s life. South Africa, New Zealand, and Hong Kong allow abortion when the fetus is se-verely damaged. In the Republic of Ireland, the operation may only be performed when either the mother’s or baby’s life is in danger
