Corruption and Poverty
Corruption and poverty goes hand by hand sadly and many people across globe have to face this problem. But the truth is if we wanted to end poverty then we have to end corruption. In this age where people have to give bribe even for most essential things like health and education is just horrible.
Most of the people don’t get right treatment and right job just because of corruption. This is the corruption that has made most talented people unemployed and failures are sitting at managerial posts. Now think for a while if everything is so much messed up then how our country can grow.
Corruption is not only affecting professional life but personal too. When people don’t get right treatment then few of them also commit suicide. The unemployment results into poverty, stress, and crime. so it has become necessary to address the corruption problem that is not a problem but it has become a mission today for every Indian.
Save Cats and Dogs in South Korea from Brutal Deaths
Two million cats and dogs are being caught by slaughters and sold in public markets for people consumption. Dogs and cats experience an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury like dogs which are killed by electric shock, choked and cats which are beat repeatedly and burned alive. Even though few minority South Koreans consumes the meat of cats and dogs, the industry develop well because of the perpetuation of lies and the lack of interest and concern of government.
Many South Koreans believe that cats and dogs are the kind of animals with whom they could spend a lot of time or when travelling. In 1991, South Korea’s Animal Protection Law was implemented which recognizes them as “domestic pets.” With reference to past events, South Koreans have only consumed dogs during the times of extreme poverty, yet even before they were still considered as companion animals. However, few people still believed the folk tale that cat and dog meat have healing properties.
It is rated that there are about six thousand five hundred institutions in South Korea that market cats and dogs. Unauthorized and diseases-ridden dog farms exist all around rural areas of the country, where dogs are being kept and sold to slaughters. The officers of South Korea should make an effort to implement animal protection laws in order to rescue poor cats and dogs from hideous deaths.

Since the introduction of AI technology into China, the learning method is changed along with the education method in different school. Student are given tools to quickly ask for answer and process of question they encounter in the learning and teacher are given equipment that can help them to mark tests and come up with homework’s with an unprecedented efficacy. However, at the same time AI and technology are bring convivence to the public it is also reshaping the way of our life in a way that we couldn’t imagine.
The bad thing is AI can reduce some of the teacher student reaction, which are important to give motivation and social skill improvement. It can cause people to feel boring or sometime lack of motivation to continue to improve in a course. Usually, teacher is an important part of understanding of a topic especially on topic which focus on human reaction and mindsets. Teacher own written resource can explain it in a way which are more easily to understand for student. Teachers now is using ai for making ppt or resource for student. They are usually long and easily lost focus of student. If a resource is written by teacher himself, it is shorter and more paraphrased by the teacher.
The academic integrity is usually questioned by school which is now a common situation. Ai tools are given to student and using it to cheat is now a top worry of some topic. For example, math teacher is pretty concern of ai work because now ai can give out full process of a math question but there is limited way to know if it is done by ai. It can cause major impact on student because they might forget skill or doesn’t learn any skill at all. This question of integrity is still surrounding us now. It is an uncommon thing that we must found for an answer.
Overall, there are main two concern thought my experience. One is loss of human interaction of student and teacher. Student now are lacking motivation on improving. Teacher is also using ai tool which even decrease the interest of student more. It is harder for student now to understand a topic due to the lack of human involve. Second the integrity of work is now questioned like a normal event. Some subject are founding it hard to prove if it is ai work or not.

Ocean farming for fish was considered problematic in past but technology advancements and latest tools and equipments have made open sea farming more innovative and interesting today. Let us brief one technique how they do it? Fish are raised vertically with neutral impact on their lives and environment too. Whenever ocean farming is done by experts, there is need of 100 percent transparency and traceability at each stage. The fishes should be farmed with utmost care and under hygiene environment only.
During ocean farming, fishes should be kept away from sensitive ecosystems. They should be raised in clean, pure and hygiene water. If natural growing environment and hygiene surroundings are assured by the experts, then fishes can be protected against severe diseases without any harmful effect. Also, fishes should be stocked in low density water so that they can swim freely without any disturbances. Also, never use the same water again for natural growth of fish.
