The Asia-Pacific Partnership........More effective and efficient

By joining the Asia-Pacific partnership, Canada will become more effective in their fight to reduce pollution. The six partner countries represent about half of the world's economy and with their help, Canada will now be able to develop and share technologies that will reduce pollution. With those six powerful countries combining their resources together, it will only be a matter of time before we have a better and cleaner environment. The Kyoto-protocol has been there for a while but it hasn't been very effective and I think that it's now time to try something else. Another positive aspect of it is that Canada will be able to reduce pollution without harming its economy. Environment is very important but we need to know how to balance ourselves. We need to use strategies that are efficient and not spend all our money on one issue. Therefore, by joining the Asia-Pacific partnership, Canada will be able to help the environment without harming the country's economy.

HPV vaccine effective yet complicated

These videos talk about the HPV vaccine and how effective it is. For me, there is no doubt that young girls should take it but i still believe that the parents should be the ones who decide whether or not to have their daughters vaccinated.Let's face it, sooner or later these girls will become sexually active. It has even been statistically proven that most girls between the age of 14-19 are sexually active. Even though some religious groups might not accept this vaccine, being sexually active is not the only way of getting HPV.There are many other ways of getting the disease such as touching and having more than one partner.You might even get it after your wedding because you don't know if your partner has it or not. Evidence has even shown that some people have it in them at very young age and they don't even know how. Religious groups have also said that this vaccine could act as free pass for sex. Give me a break, surely if you educate the girls about the vaccine, they will understand that there are still risks involve. These girls are not stupid, I know that teenagers of nowadays do many stupid things but will they really go have sex with anyone just because they are protected against HPV. Therefore, in regard to the vaccine, i believe that it should be given to young girls but only if their parents accept. The vaccine should not become mandatory and the canadian government should not have control over it like the government of texas.

Hello world

Hey everyone,
This is my first blog so i'm not sure what to say. Communication seems to be a good class where we will develop a lot of skills that will help us in our daily lives. Communication is very important and not communicating with people for awhile can cause serious illness and it has been proven by social scientists.Nowadays,we see all kinds of communication everywhere. Even in sports, we see players from different countries play together and communicate with each other. They manage to transmit their messages through signs and gestures. For ex; in european soccer which is actually called football in all the other countries, we see players that come from different places play and somehow manage to communicate with each other. When we see people from different cultures who speak different languages communicate or when an animal tries to communicate to a human, that's the beauty of communication.
