Poverty from MY View

Many people believe that poverty means lack of money. In one hand it looks correct. On the other hand it could be appeared in different ways. In recently years many countries have found different solutions against poverty, and the meaning of poverty has been changed. It is not limited to lack of money; it could be demonstrated itself in another form. Today, many people around the world are being deprived from fresh air, sanitary drinking water, beautiful landscapes, clean soil, and biodiversity. We can call it environmental poverty. Sometimes, it could be more harmful in comparison with financial poverty. In a big city with heavy air pollution it does not matter you are rich, or you are poor; everyone has to breathe poisonous air and involves to its consequences. I saw many people in such a big and polluted city who envy poor people in villages with fresh air and beautiful landscapes. As a matter of fact, it is being happened not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. In my opinion, environmental poverty is more intolerable than financial poverty. It can involve more people than financial poverty.

Nature Day

Ancient Iranian believed nature is the source of life; hence, they respected it all the time. Now, Iranian have dedicated one day to this matter in the name of nature day or sizdahbedar. It is on April 2th. According to the ancient custom, people go out and spent their time in nature. It is an opportunity that whole family get together and enjoy .they tie little grass because they believe thir wishes will come true. On the other hand, New Year ceremony is finished in this day and Nouroz will be ended.

Language Ability

A lot of researches have been conducted to show what determines our character, personality or our behavior. For instance, most people believe that women talk more than men. As a matter of fact women are more verbal in private situation; meanwhile, men talk more in public situation. It can be seen these differences in children. Little girls like to play with their best friend with a lot of conversation; while, little boys often play games in group. Recently, researches show that not only nature can influence on language ability, but also nurture does. There is some evidence that parents talk to their daughters more than their sons. Also, when they talk to their daughters, they talk about their emotions with details. It begins from the newborn age, because the boys are less developed than girls, so they respond to their parents more. Consequently, parents begin to talk more to their daughters. This topic was very interesting to me. Before reading this topic, I never thought that parent’s behavior can make difference on their daughter and sons language ability. As a mother, I try to speak with my children more and more, because I know it’s the best way to develop their language ability.

Spring in Vancouver

Spring season has been begun in Vancouver since one month ago. I think, in compare with the other seasons, spring is the best. You can see changing in everything. You can feel the breathing of nature. As if, it is being awoken from a long asleep or like a dead body which is being alive. It is the best time for changing. Getting rid of bad habit and acquiring good habit.

Education system in Iran and Canada

There are alot of similarity and diffrences between Education system in Iran and Canada. In Iran there is more discipline in class in all stages. As a matter of fact, students are not free to eat or drink at class or talk to each other. All of student girls have to wear specific uniform with scarf. Education system in Iran from elementary till high school is not easy. Students are given a lot of assignments every day and they have to study hard. Education system in Iran is free; although, there are nonprofit schools who charge parents annually, and they are very expensive. Continuing education in university is very challengeable. After graduation from high school, students must be take part in university entrance exam. For many of students it is the biggest competition of their life, and it is very stressful exam. Furthermore, for many of them their fate is related to the result of this exam.
However, education system in Canada is different. In contrast of Iran, there is not restricted discipline in Canadian schools; student feels free and comfortable in schools. Students are free to wear any cloths who would like. Education in elementary schools is full of fun and entertainment programs. Although, education in Canada is free as same as Iran; but , there are no nonprofit schools. Enter to university is easier than Iran. There are on stressfully entrance exam. Annually, many students come to Canada, and continue their education in Canadian university.
