Last week,  Alabama governor - Kay Ivy - signed a law that was passed by local legislature which would completely ban any abortion on the state, except the cases when it is necessary to save the mother's life. Abortion would be prohibited even if the pregnancy occurred in the case of rape or incest. Doctors who break the law would be sentenced to 99 years of prison. At the same time, women who break the law will not be prosecuted. The law is planned to come into force in six months. Democratic leaders reacted with outrage, and pledged to fight for abortion rights. The signing of this law can be considered both positively and negatively. First of all, abortion is immoral and cheapens the value of human life. Everyone has his or her right to  life. Abortion is the murder of an unborn child. The legalization of abortion promotes murder and gives irresponsible people an opportunity to kill a human life.  Moreover, abortions can actually cause women mental and physical he...

Kanye West followed his appearance on the 44th Saturday Night Live season premiere with rambling pro-Trump remarks that prompted boos in the studio. Rapper appeared on a scene wearing a red cap with the words “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”. Actually, many people do not like Trump because of his policy. And people usually say to Kanye: “Why do you like him? The blacks are always wanted Dempocrats… and there was a plan to enslave the blacks…” and etc. But he replies that if he was concerned about racism he would’ve moved out of the USA a long time ago. He also adds: “Now you got a situation where we need to have a dialogue, and not a diatribe.” He also posted on twitter a photo with that cap and said: “This represents good and America becoming whole again,” West wrote. “We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Mess...

Together with Azia Mamatova we write this story ____________ It was a hot day of 12 of July. People did not know where to hide from the heat in the stuffy city.  It was ordinary Monday. The day when all the clerks are getting ready to start a new working week.  And they were no exception… The young girl was heading for the lift, late for her workplace in the office. She pressed nervously   the elevator button, but it did not come. She heard footsteps behind her and saw a man’s hand approaching the button. She shot an irritated look at the man behind her back. It was him. Her boss. ‘Hello, Mr…’ she said   perplexedly. ‘Good morning, Christine!’ he answered mockingly glancing at his wrist watch. There was the sound and the doors of elevator opened. They went into the elevator. Christine started to tuck her hair behind her ears nervously. She was constantly looking at the changing numbers of floors passing by.   When suddenly the elevator stopped abru...

Nowadays, the situation on the world political arena is extremely ambiguous and complicated. Every day the news tabloids are full of headlines about political debates and scandals. Many are wondering how to improve the current situation and relations between different countries. There is an opinion that one of the possible ways to establish better connection and to strengthen the international relations is to have one language spoken worldwide. To my mind, with the help of one common language it will greatly simplify the situation and will give a chance to find a key to some international communication issues.  First of all, people are able to understand each other better if they speak the same language. For instance, youngsters all around the world would have an opportunity to study in international universities and communicate with others without fear of facing the language barrier. Moreover, it would become much easier to understand each other more accurate and always keep i...

In her article “What Would Cities Look Like if They Were Designed by Mothers?” Christine Murray, the founder of the “Women in Architecture Awards”, states that city appearance can mostly depend on three main factors: gender, age category and personal diversity, proving that the majority of architects is young and prosperous males. For instance, she marked the lack of female qualified architects in the UK based on statistics and different researches. That is why Christine suggests to imagine, how city designs would differ depending on needs of different categories of citizens.    There are three main categories chosen for the analysis: mothers, pensioners, and teenagers. According to mothers’ and pensioners’ needs, cities should provide so-called ‘accessible environment and reasonable accommodation’, such as ramps, seat places, public facilities, etc. Architects should take into account city convenience not only for usual citizens or disabled, but think wider about other ca...
