Introduction-Nero
Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Recently, increasing global warming news have been reported, causing the government and public concern enormously. In the meantime, whether taking more action on Global Warming has sparked much debate. Some people assert that Global Warming is a absolutely serious problem, the government should spend more money and resources on solving this problem while the others argue that Global Warming is not true, spending plenty of money on it is not worthwhile. In this essay, I will discuss some arguments both for and against taking more action on solving Global Worming. Furthermore, comparing both of them, I will give my personal view: We should not focus on Global Warming excessively, there are a vast number of other serious problem in our life, such as environmental pollution, unemployment and so on, the government should take step to solve these problem primarily.

Introduction- Shantanu
Topic: Advertising should be an important consideration of ethical business.
Introduction:
We are totally surrounded with advertisements. Now if we can see in an advertisement that someone is drinking some kind of energy drink and doing crazy things all day with a lot of energy then what will be the impact on consumers? The impact will be if any one drinks that energy drink then that person would be able to be that much energetic. But in the real life is it true? May be or maybe not. But the question is showing this kind of advert is how ethical? Now a day’s ethics had being a big issue in the business world. Everybody is talking about doing ethical business. Business ethics means what is right and wrong in the business. Though it has been still a vague definition of business ethics that what is right or wrong but it is vey much clear to all that no one can show wrong, puffed up or unclear information in their advertisement. If any one does so then it would be nothing but a deceitful doing with the consumers. Now people are talking about environment friendly product, donation or other kind of social welfare jobs by the companies as the ethical business. But advertising is the most common and efficient way to communicate with the consumers. Advertisements represent a company. So that should be the most ethical part of the business. But still we don’t relate advertisements and ethics together. In the essay it will be discussed both for and against arguments of that how important is this to take advertisements under consideration of doing ethical business.

Is globalization good or bad?
Nowadays the word, “globalization”, is being talked about by everyone, also you can hear it from everywhere. Actually, it came from the two phrases “global tribe” and “global village” introduced first by Marshall McLuhan in his book “the Gutenberg Galaxy” in 1962. Since the high-speed and continuous development of communication technologies in the world, the geographic restrictions have been gradually reduced, the whole earth is just like a “classroom without walls” (McLuhan 1960, pp. 1-3). Especially, in recent years, there is an obvious rise in the level of interdependence between districts, cities and countries that contributes to the human increasing awareness of globalization (Robertson 1992). Such a word seems to already have become a dominant part of our social lives (Hirst & Grahame 1996) and hugely influenced on economy, culture and even politics. Meanwhile, it has evoked a sweeping and fierce controversy in every aspect. This essay attempts to analyze positive and negative effects impacted by globalization on three main fields mentioned above.
