FEAR



My choice of the theme " Fear" doesn't mean that I am afraid to know what is unknown, but it's more based on the experience of what has been called an advancement of science. There is always good reason for one to fear. It is unlikely to fear what we have today, but rather what science can do in the near future.
There is no doubt that some countries in the world practice brain-washing in jails, which are old techniques used by many countries and still even used today. Philip K. Dick presents a new perspective based on the science of the future: an electronic machine to clean the mind of a human being. Human beings will use trinkets to make their lives easier. This innovation will help people to know what will happen to them in the future.

The depletion of the ozone layer is a race between industrialized nations, and statistics speak for each country but some nations are still resilient for endorsing their responsibilities vis à vis to the planet. We are living in a box and one day all of humanity will wake and find that there is no longer a roof on top of that box. How are we going to protect our roof? Look here to grasp what is going on with the ozone layer.

Biodiversity is under threat in many areas of the world. Concern about global biodiversity loss has emerged as a prominent and widespread public issue. The depletion of the ozone layer will have potential damage to our biodiversity. Reuters said: "Rising temperatures could wipe out more than half of the earth's species in the next few centuries, according to researchers who published a study on Wednesday linking climate change to past mass extinctions."

Researchers at the University of NewYork said their study was the first to examine the relationship between climate, extinction rates and biodiversity over a long period.

  1. The topic of climate change in relation to extinction is an interesting topic. I am confident that we will hear more about it in the years to come.
