On the TV, on the radio, in the newspapers, every day we can hear and read that old, traditional values have devaluated, that they are able to bring nothing good to modern world. But is it really so? In my opinion the nowadays, modern society cannot afford to reject the traditional values. Any society at any time will need some universal and never changing values and rules to provide basement for functioning and development.
First of all there are some values which will never devaluate. The set of them is called natural law - some believe they had been given to human by God, the others that they come from the "inside" of the man; the feeling, that one cannot do to somebody else what would be bad for himself. This law is a basic ground for all codes of "formal" law produced ever since by any human civilisation in any part of the world. And it"s surprising how much they all agree about these natural laws.
Furthermore every society will need the values which must not change throughout the centuries to support its own functioning and development. The values which will bring order and safety enabling the society to develop and rise. In all known civilisations these values are: family, rejecting killing, murder and theft, honesty, modesty, freedom and religion. The set of these values is present in every religion and belief, every law code and it has been taught to youngsters at all times.
In the army there is a saying that the code of regulations had been written with the blood of these who did not comply with it. It can quite as well be said about the traditional values in the modern society (they are actually some kind of "code of regulations" for life) - they contain the knowledge and experiences of the past generations which are priceless.
There are of course the opponents of this view. In their opinion the modern society has to develop new values and new rules, since the old ones are no more useful.

В топике Общество автор представляет свои взгляды на общество. Проблемы нашего общества – это преступления, торговля наркотиками, алкогольная зависимость. Эти проблемы напрямую связаны с безработицей и бездомными людьми. Но с другой стороны, кроме проблем, в нашем обществе есть люди, стремящиеся улучшить наш мир. Каким будет наше общество в будущем, зависит только от нас.

I’d like to tell you a couple of words about our modern society.
So I want to speak about pros and cons in our community. In my opinion the biggest problem we have it is crime. For example drug dealing. Nowadays many young people are under the influence of drugs and it is sad. Drugs can lead to serious problems such as poor schoolwork, loss of friends, problems at home, and lasting legal problems. Alcohol is not gone away from drugs. It is also a huge problem. Unfortunately there are a lot of different problems with crime like burglary, mugging or shoplifting. Most of these problems come about because the homeless. Despite the fact that we have many new and useful technologies we still can’t provide all people with jobs.

But on the other hand, people in modern society have done a lot of good things. I’m talking about Art. Today, art continues to play a major role in society like it did in the past. Until now, art still provokes awareness as contemporary artists use different media in order to share to everyone their view of the world. Artworks are open to different interpretations by its viewers, and although their message appears vague, they remain able to communicate something to the audience.

In our society there are both good and bad aspects. Fortunately there are people who want to make the world better. Such as Greenpeace, who protect our nature or different charitable companies which help people with their problems.

Summing up all the above, I would like to say that only we can change our life for the better.

Our society and its problems

We live in the twenty first century, it is the era of computers, robots and machines which are able to make our life easier. It seems that people of our time should have no problems of any kind at all. Computers do the biggest part of our work, modern gadgets help us at home. However, nowadays we have much more problems than our grandparents had when they were young. I cannot say that their life was perfect, of course not, it was really very difficult, but in that time there were absolutely different problems. Problems of modern society can lead to hard consequences for our lives. They are able to kill everyone and everything in the world.

All the problems can be divided into three groups: problems between countries, between a person and society and between society and nature.

The first group of problems is connected with disagreements between different countries. The main problem I want to tell you about is danger of beginning the World War III, in other words, nuclear war. I am sure that this war will be the last in the world. It will put an end to everything. Now practically every country has nuclear bombs. Unfortunately there is such a possibility that terrorists may have this weapon. Correspondingly, here is another problem - world terrorism. I think all the countries have suffered from it. Common people die because somebody wants to prove something to the government or just to punish it. This kind of war is becoming widely-spread throughout the world. Several times a month we can hear bad news about death of people. Inhabitants of big cities are afraid to appear in public places as they are a great target for terrorists. The other problem is globalization. On the one hand, this phenomenon has a lot of advantages, it helps to get people united. But on the other hand, we forget our culture, traditions and become like others.

The next is the group of problems between society and a person. The most important problem is demographic. The amount of people are becoming less every year, the cause is that nowadays more people die. It happens because we value money and a good job much more than family, children. The average amount of people get married at the age of 30-35. In the modern family there is just one or two children. So we do not have people to replace us in the future. Another problem is unemployment. Many people are unemployed today. To find a job is very difficult for young graduates. In most cases they have to work in another sphere not connected with their education. Right now, there is also a big gap between the low-income people and the high income people and this is becoming a problem. Low-income people are starting to get lower wages and higher income people are starting to get higher wages.

The third group is problems between society and nature, ecological problems. The progress causes pollution. Everything, our society has, leads to destruction of the environment: cars, air conditioners, refrigerators, factories, cans influence the nature badly. Our planet is in serious danger. Global warming, water and air pollution are not all the problems we may have in the future. Most of us do not realize that we can destroy the Earth leaving our children without a place to live. In my opinion, this is the problem which we are able to solve. People need to care about the environment more, not only use it, but also try to help it. We should not only take, but give back, too.

It is said that there is no bad society, there is only bad people. In other words, the problem is in ourselves. Most of problems can be solved. Not only the government, but also all people are in charge. People and the government should get together and try to solve these problems in order to make this planet a safe and good place to live. If these problems are not solved, there might not even be the Earth in the future to live on.

Мы живем в двадцать первом веке, это время компьютеров, роботов и машин способных делать нашу жизнь проще. Казалось бы, у людей нашего времени не должно быть проблем вообще. Компьютеры делают большую часть работы за нас, современные приспособления помогаю нам дома. Однако, сейчас у нас намного больше проблем, чем у наших бабушек и дедушек, когда они были молодыми. Я не могу сказать, что их жизнь была идеальна, конечно же нет, она была очень тяжелой, но проблемы того времени были абсолютно другими. Проблемы современного общества могут привести к тяжелым последствиям в нашей жизни. Они способны убить всех и всё в мире.

Все проблемы можно поделить на тригруппы: проблемы между странами, между человеком и обществом, и между обществом и природой.

Первая группа проблем связана с разногласиями между странами. Главная проблема, о которой я хочу вам рассказать, это угроза начала третьей мировой войны, другими словами, ядерной войны. Я уверена, что эта война будет последней в мире. Она положит конец всему. Сейчас практически в каждой стране есть ядерные бомбы. К сожалению, существует такая возможность, что это оружие попадет в руки к террористам. Соответственно, отсюда вытекает другая проблема - мировой терроризм. Я думаю, каждая страна уже пострадала от него. Простые люди умирают, потому что кто-то хочет доказать что-то правительству или просто наказать его. Этот тип войны очень распространился по всему миру. Несколько раз в месяц мы слышим плохие новости о смерти людей. Жители больших городов боятся появляться в общественных местах, так как они отличная цель для террористов. Другая проблема - глобализация. С одной стороны, у этого явления много плюсов: глобализация объединяет людей. Но, с другой стороны, мы забываем свою культуру, традиции и становимся как все.

Следующая группа проблем между обществом и человеком. Главная проблема - демографическая. С каждым годом людей становится меньше, причина в том, что больше людей умирает. Это происходит из-за того, что мы ценим деньги и хорошую работу больше, чем семью и детей. Среднее число людей женится в возрасте 30-35 лет. В современной семье рождается только один - два ребенка. Таким образом, в будущем нас некому будет заменить. Другая проблема - безработица. Сегодня многие люди не работают.Для выпускников найти работу очень сложно. В большинстве случаев они работают не по профессии. Сейчас очень большая разница между людьми с низким доходом и людьми с высоким заработком и это становится проблемой. Люди с маленьким заработком получают меньше зарплаты, а люди с большим заработком стали получать больше.

Третья группа - проблемымежду обществом и природой, экологические проблемы. Прогресс является причиной загрязнения. Всё, что есть у общества, приводит к разрушению окружающей среды: машины, кондиционеры, холодильники, заводы, жестяные банки плохо влияют на природу. Наша планета в серьезной опасности. Глобальное потепление, загрязнение воды и воздуха не все проблемы, с которыми мы можем столкнутся в будущем. Многие из нас не представляют, что мы можем уничтожить землю, оставив наших детей без места для жизни. По моему мнению, эту проблему можно решить. Людям надо больше заботиться об окружающей среде, не только пользоваться ей, но и помогать тоже. Мы должны не только брать, но и отдавать.

Говорят, нет плохого общества, есть плохие люди. Другими словами, проблема в нас. Большинство проблем может быть разрешено. Не только правительство, но и все люди в ответе за это. Люди и власть должны объединиться и попытаться решить проблемы, чтобы сделать нашу планету безопасным и хорошим местом для жизни. Если эти проблемы не будут решены, то возможно в будущем не будет Земли

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!

The writer basically talks about the conditions, events, problems, and trends of the larger regions as well as the individual nations. The writer basically uses a cross-disciplinary approach and talks about the physical landscapes and the culture that is being followed in the Asian-Pacific countries where most of the people live, mainly China and Japan. Moreover, some of the highest mountains and longest rivers are also found in Asia. These populated countries consist of many people belonging to various ethnic groups who follow different cultures, religions and speak different languages.

(Weightman, 2001).

The chapters that I would be mainly focusing are based on the aspects of people and society in Pacific Asia. The people of Japan mostly reside in Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku. The two terms that means people of Japan are Nipponjin and Nihonjin and they basically resemble the Tibetans. Japan has a very high population and in 2002 it was declared to be the 10th most populous countries; however the Japanese population has been facing a decline due to the western influence because of which small household have become a trend.

Japan has a homogenous culture, tradition and language and the main religions are Buddhism and Shinto.

Most of the people in Japan live in the urban areas than in cities. (Maps of the world. com, n. d.). Like Japan, China is also one of the populous countries in the world. China is a multi ethnic country and majority of the population speak Chinese. (Welcome to China, n. d.). Most of the people in China grow rice, ride bicycles and fewer cars can be seen only in cities. They Chinese people prefer doing things in the old ways their ancestors used to. The Chinese people use the decimal system as their currency that consists of paper money as well as the coins.(Ebrey, n. d.).
