Graph/ Workers coming to Dubai

The graph shows the fluctuation in the number of workers from the UK and Canada coming to work in Dubai between 1990 and 2006.

The biggest change was in the number of workers coming to Dubai from Canada. In 1990, there were only 10,000 workers coming from Canada to Dubai. This number remained fairly stable. For two years, rising only to about 15,000. In comparison the number of workers coming from UK to Dubai in 1990 was almost 50,000 workers. In 1990 to 1992, this number rising to about 55,000 workers. However, between 1994 and 2000 the number of workers coming from UK to Dubai plunged. It fell from 65,000 workers in 1996 to just over 60,000 in 2000. From Canada, between 2002 and 2004 the number of workers coming to Dubai also plunged. It fell from about 88,000 in 2002 to just over 80,000 in 2004 than in 2006 both amount converged at 90,000.

Overall, the number of workers coming from UK and Canada are the same in 1996 but the number fluctuated over the last (1 ½) decades.

Argument/Censorship

In many countries around the world, government censors restrict access to certain kinds of material for their citizens. Text books with political ideas, violent video games and all sorts of material can be blocked. Some people agree strongly with the need for censorship. They argue that it protects society. Others disagree, believing that they should be free to decide what they read, see or talk about.

This essay will describe the pros and cons of censorship. There are many arguments for censorship. The first argument is that censorship can be used to prevent politically motivated propaganda. There are many forms of propaganda that talk about politics in the wrong way. Another argument is that censorship can protect children from learning things that could harm them. There are many channels that destroy children’s thinking.

Also there are many arguments that disagree with censorship. The first argument is that it is used to control people. There are many people do not feel comfortable when you watching them. Another argument is that it can be used to distract facts or hide truths from the people. There are many news channels used this way to distract the people.

There are many good arguments for and against censorship. I agree that censorship is important for us, and protects us from anything that’s harmful. Hopefully this remains so.

Argument/Mobile phones

Mobile phones are popular in the world. Many people use phone in the wrong way and it causes many dangerous accidents; I think that there are points against and in favor of the statement.

Let us talk about people who agree with using phones while driving. If illegal then police can stop people on the road, if there is a law then police are able to enforce it and give people tickets. Another reason is that the accident percentage will go down. If people aren’t using their mobile phones then they will concentrate on their driving. Yet another reason is that the traffic fines will help pay for traffic safety programs.

Let us talk now about people who disagree about using phones while driving. If you have an important call and you don’t have your headphones you can answer the phones later. Another reason is that businessman needs to talk on their phones while going to an appointment and if you have an emergency call.

In conclusion, using phones while you driving is dangerous, you can stop and complete your call on the side of the road and I think that using phones while you driving is a big risk for you so be careful.
