        Everyone always puts the question: why  wear uniforms? Uniforms are old and outdated ... and if we still have brand clothes to wear,  why shouldn't we wear them? The people who think like this are the students of today. They must look their best at school, to wear more elegant  and if possible expensive clothes, otherwise they wouldn’t  be stars. This is the mentality of many students, even many parents I could say. There are four good reasons to wear school uniform.
         First , a uniform is a type of clothing designed to distinguish members of certain institutions. Thus we can see who is the teacher and who is the student in that institution. Studies have shown that students who wear school uniforms,  behave properly in that environment , unlike those who wear the clothes they want. With uniforms requiring a strict atmosphere, and students are more willing to follow school rules, I think the mandatory use of standardized uniform has the power to reduce violence in school.
       Second,  the students’  time is optimized. Many students are late to class because they spend too much time deciding what to wear, how to match the colors. A school uniform will exempt students from these troubles, and they will be able to get to class on time. In this way, school results will also be better. Not only before schoole they are concerned about their look but even in their break, they are going in the bathroom to fix their make-up and hair and maybe to change some ideas about the style.
      Third, I support the idea that school uniform is a good factor to be kept in schools because it leads to better socialization between students. If normal, casual  clothes  push students to discriminate and separate from each other, with their uniforms they  will be on par in this regard. Unfortunately, the exclusion of certain children because the clothes they wear is very common in schools around the world. Uniform will greatly reduce this habit, and groups of friends will form due to common passions and other important factors, not the clothes that are brands  or not. By introducing school uniforms all students will become equal, at least in terms of clothing, which will lead to a better understanding and collaboration between students and make the situation less tense. In addition, teachers say that school uniform stimulates positive feelings of belonging  to a group.
        Finally, this uniform would save parents money .Schools say that uniforms are cheaper than most clothes, especially the brand clothes. The fact that the uniforms are very strong and were made
​​to be worn and washed frequently has led parents to think twice before they give up this alternative.
       One of the biggest arguments against school uniform as that restricts individuality and freedom of expression. I believe that there is a solution to this problem: Both parents and school management, even some students think that  a different uniform should be designed for every school. In this way is a difference of belonging and does not create the impression of "flock".

Some say uniforms inhibit creativity and force students to follow the rules. I believe that there are many curricular activities which concern students more than coming to school dressed in fashionable clothes. The clothes that students want to expose to public can be worn outside of the classroom.

               Should be smoking made illegal? I am totally disagreeing with this statement because as long as something is forbidden, human intention is to find another replacement. Those who are addicted to nicotine cannot just stop to use that substance in their body. They can find other substances which made them feel good. Others can refer to suicidal gesture. People are able to think what or what not is better for their life. We cannot just to take away their wishes and to limit their possibilities’ in choosing what we want for them or what some of us think is better for society. Suppose that somking will be banned what about the coffe, coke, drugs or even some kindes of food which conteins unhealthy ingrediends?  This should not be prohibided on the market? We can't limit people's desire and perheps causing an chaos in the world.

Car accidents


    Why do so many accidents occur? Car accidents can happen to drivers anytime and anywhere.  In general, about twenty million people die or become injured because of car accidents each year nationwide. Even with the technology that society has today, and with new safety advances for vehicles, millions of people lose their lives.  People should understand that they have to take extra precautions when they drive, especially knowing that the main reasons why people get in car accidents are: human error, climate and mechanical failure.

     Some of the most important factors the human error and about violation of the rules can be exceeding the speed limit, using alcohol or using cell phones. Exceeding the speed limit can be considered one of the the top causes off all car accidents because all humans want to get to places quicker. Because drivers lose control of their driving, accidents occur, which even results in deaths. The other important factor in the violation of rules can be with using alcohol before driving. Although there are punishments about this issue, drivers keep doing. While using alcohol, your brain stops working signifianthy and that’s why drivers can not focus on the road and their reflexes deviate from reacting normally. Another distraction which takes drivers' attention and is very common today, is when people use their cell phones while driving. Texting and speaking on the phone requires one hand and it distracts the attention of the driver.  Even though the driver is looking on the road, he/she can be easily distracted by the conversation. This can result in fatal accidents.
      The other important factor in traffic accidents is climate. Snow, rain and fog can aggravate the hazards and cause car accidents. When the road is  in a very bad condition especially when the weather is bad, it is covered with snow and under some ice, the vehicles slip on the road and accidents occur.  Rain also can cause traffic accidents because of the dense rain drops and poor visibility. The road can be slippery and also on the sides of the road it can form water puddles which can result in aquaplaning. The third factor about car accidents is the fog because when it is foggy outside you have poor visibility and you can’t see if an obstacle is in front of the car.

      The last category that can lead to car accidents is mechanical failure. This could be brakes, tire explosion and engine on fire. In this case only the first two can be prevented from happening an accident, by checking the car regularly.  The third case, when the engine is on fire you cannot do anything to avoid this happening. Is good to go with the car to the machanic regulary and in this way he can tell us how is the car working and he can advise what to change on that. In this way we can readuce the risk of car accidents.
      Driver distraction, climate and mechanical failure are the leading causes of car accidents. In order to safely drive a car, we must give the road our full attention. If everybody tries to eliminate these problems by following the rules of the road, driving can be less dangerous. The only thing you can do in other cases is to be cautious and try to react as well as you can.Even if you drive extremely carefuly, you can still get into an accident, but hopefully it wouldn’t be something serious. As long as you keep your distance and drive with reduced speed, you should be fine.

     There are many differences between Romania and US. OF course this differences are because US is a bigger country than mine, with a very good economy. This doesn't mine that US has only positive sides... There are so many negative that I don't know which wich I can began. First of all is about their lifestyle.... because are too busy with work they don't think about their eating. They prefer to eat something that they can make very easy, preferably fastfood...which has two advantages: less time and less money. In my country is very different....we have our lunch time doesn't matter if

Halloween.....

      
Halloween is a holiday celebrated in USA on the 31th October every year.  In America children celebrate this day by buying costumes, make-up their faces or wearing masks.  After all this they go to trick or treat at each lighted house for Halloween treats. In the city people and children’s will parade in their favorite costumes.  In Romania we do not have this kind of holiday because of our religion beliefs. The Christian people belief that Halloween is a holiday that’s created as a day to worship Satan and celebrate evil.  We do make jack-o-lantern and we put them outside to celebrate the harvest day…
