Writing the papers on Alternative Fuels for Cars was interesting for me because I am interested on cars and also in the prices of oil at the present time. However, the work by itself was not easy. I had to learn so many new things and how to do them. I had never wrote this kind of work before. I know now that I have to site every idea that I borrow from other writers or I will be charged with plagiarism. I never knew this before. I also learned that doing this kind of work takes too much time. There is time for reading and taking notes and then the big time for writing the papers. In the end it appeared like my whole life was about alternative fuels for cars! When it was finished, I was so surprised at how small the project looked. I began with books and articles and research and notes but in the end the writing was just a few pages. It seems that these few pages do not really show all of the work behind them.
The presentation of this topic went very well. I was pleased with my control on myself. I think that I knew what I was talking about and this helped me a lot. When I know what I am talking about I am not so nervous. I think also that the class liked the presentation about fuel and cars. I know that most boys are always interested on cars so I hope that they were interested on my topic. I was also pleased with my power point presentation. It was the first time that I did this kind of work by myself. Before I always had to ask other people do the technical things for me but on this project I tried by myself and I am very satisfied with the result.

Discrimination
“Oh Great Spirit keeps me from ever judging a man until I have walked in his moccasins”. This means that I should try not to judge other people unless I have been experiencing their position. Or I am the same as them. I should not judge poor people because I do not know what it is like to be poor. I should not judge Christians because I am not one of them. I should not judge women because I am a man. I should not judge black people because I am white.
This is very easy to say. I cannot do it. I judge all the time and I think everyone does too. All people have ideas about others. This is a kind of discrimination because usually these ideas that they have are wrong. Many people think all Arabs are terrorists. Whites think that black people are criminals. We should know that this is not true. There are Arabs who are terrorists but there are Christians and Jews who are also terrorists. There are black people who are criminals but this is also true for whites , reds and yellows. There are jails everywhere in the world that is full of all kinds of people.
For me, I come from a culture that is very strict. We must marry Saudis, not even other Arabs. I know this is discrimination to some people but it is our traditional way. Is it wrong? I don’t know. Is it right? I also don’t know. It is just our way. We do not want to hurt other people but this the way it works.
I think this is really true for most people. A Christian family wants their children to marry Christians. Jews want to marry Jews. Blacks want to marry blacks. Is this discrimination? Some people would say so but I am not sure.

Animal testing
Animal experimentation is very essential for human sake. A lot of experiments that have been don, have leaded the scientists to discover new treatments for several diseases. And all of that have benefited many patients in curing their sickness. We have to use animals in experiment if it’s extremely necessary but at the same time we have to use them wisely. Animals have sprits and they can feel the pain.however, critics frequently say that animal testing is cruel and completely unnecessary but this is not true. It is the most necessary part on scientific search. Today all of these drugs are commonly used for people to make their lives better. None of them would have been possible without having been tested on animals first.Population Growth
Population Growth
There are too many people nowadays on the earth. There is not enough food to feed all of these people. More people are being born every day and old people are living longer than ever before. Medicine is keeping more and more people alive. The result is that not enough people are dying and too many people are living. The earth has a limit of space for people to live and also a limit of land to grow food. The problem is that more and more people are building houses and apartments on land that should be used for farmers to grow food. The problem is that too many people don’t want to live in places that are far from their home land such as desert. So people build their houses where the farmers need to grow the food. However, governments will need to make special rules to solve this problem. Countries will have to make laws like in China where families can only have one child. They will also have to make laws that people cannot make houses on farming land. That land must be used to grow food. This is a big problem in many countries because all of the people want to live in the most convenience weather and that is where the farm land is. farm land is begin to be used for houses, apartments and offices.
