Cell Phone addiction


The cell phone addiction is the developing topic that needs to discussed and argued about.The addiction is called as "The new Smoking".The addiction is seen mainly among the teens.The technological inventions are used effectively but not by all.The use of cell phones has become common among school going students wherein they hardly have a need to possess a cell phone. The manufacturers argue that the phones are harmless but the studies of researchers say that extensive use of cell phones can cause cancer and can affect your brain.

I have seen a kid hearing ring tones in her father's cell phone and she is yet to begin her school life.Also the behavior tends to change where the people get engrossed in the cell phones and turn a deaf ear to the people around them.These are signs of bad behavior.The ads on the television showing the celebrities with great cell phones just acts like the ads for cigars.Possessing a cell phone is being cool and great is the misconception.

No deforestation please


Removing the trees and the vegetation have become very common nowadays.The cleared areas are converted into places for construction of gigantic industries.The industrial tycoons need to consider about clearing the vegetation for several reasons.Doing so not only affects humans badly but also the animals.This activity has stood among the reasons for the destruction of habitats of rare species.The intense heat and extreme climatic conditions are the effects of deforestation. The intolerable heat due to the famous green house effect can be accounted as occurred due to the deforestation activities.

With the major effects of deforestation being the Bio-diversity it also causes pollution that is increasing in a quick pace nowadays.The vegetation or trees can not only stop with providing shade but also maximize the very much needed oxygen content in air.It helps us in living a healthier life. The works of organizations that raise sounds against deforestation must be supported by everyone through various means.Plant a tree if possible but do not destroy on your part.

Rugby-a Game of Savage.


The game 'Rugby' originated in Rugby school England.The game is actually said to be derived from the game of Football or soccer.The game differs from soccer in its rules and the way the players play the game.In 1823 a man named William Webb Ellis took the ball in his hand and ran of to make the first try.This lead to the the new game called rugby.The people started playing rugby and the shape of the ball changed as the rules did.The ball was made oval and was made out of pig's bladders.
The game is called a game of savage because the players of a team just clash with their opponents to get the ball for a try.The pads and guards the players wear just show how badly they can get hurt without the pads.With so many injuries in the history rugby is one of the dangerous games of all times.
