Online shopping

Shopping online gives you an easy way to browse, compare and search for the best price and products available all without having to leave your home. Many of the things you would purchase at a retailer is available online, along with reviews.

  If you see something at a department store that you like then you can just hop online, enter it into a shopping site like Overstock.com or Amazon.com and see if it's available at a cheaper price - and even see customer reviews.

  If you're planning on shopping online there are some things you should know, like how to find out if a website is secure, whether or not there are hidden shipping fees, and if you can find a discount code on another site. We'll be covering all this, and more in this series.

Furthermore,we also can buy things that we want and wa can see a lot of choice with the stuff that we want to see and buy.we cn buy whatever we like or our favaurite accesories and other stuff.We  can also buy our things anytime and anywhere means that even if we feel bored and we are oversea we also can do shopping online.Even if  the line is bad we can use broadband but if we can afford it.

There is advantages and disadvantages of online shopping.Firstly,online shopping is convinient.Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have Internet access both at work and at home. Other establishments such as internet cafes and schools provide access as well. A visit to a conventional retail store requires travel and must take place during business hours.

In the event of a problem with the item – it is not what the consumer ordered, or it is not what they expected – consumers are concerned with the ease with which they can return an item for the correct one or for a refund. Consumers may need to contact the retailer, visit the post office and pay return shipping, and then wait for a replacement or refund. Some online companies have more generous return policies to compensate for the traditional advantage of physical stores.

Secondly,it have informations and reviews.Online stores must describe products for sale with text, photos, and multimedia files, whereas in a physical retail store, the actual product and the manufacturer's packaging will be available for direct inspection (which might involve a test drive, fitting, or other experimentation).

Some online stores provide or link to supplemental product information, such as instructions, safety procedures, demonstrations, or manufacturer specifications. Some provide background information, advice, or how-to guides designed to help consumers decide which product to buy.

Some stores even allow customers to comment or rate their items.

Next,price and selection.Shipping a small number of items, especially from another country, is much more expensive than making the larger shipments bricks-and-mortar retailers order. Some retailers (especially those selling small, high-value items like electronics) offer free shipping on sufficiently large orders.

Another major advantage for retailers is the ability to rapidly switch suppliers and vendors without disrupting users' shopping experience.

Thus,the disadvantages of online shopping is privacy.Privacy of personal information is a significant issue for some consumers. Different legal jurisdictions have different laws concerning consumer privacy, and different levels of enforcement. Many consumers wish to avoid spam and telemarketing which could result from supplying contact information to an online merchant. In response, many merchants promise not to use consumer information for these purposes, or provide a mechanism to opt-out of such contacts.

Many websites keep track of consumers shopping habits in order to suggest items and other websites to view. Brick-and-mortar stores also collect consumer information. Some ask for address and phone number at checkout, though consumers may refuse to provide it. Many larger stores use the address information encoded on consumers' credit cards (often without their knowledge) to add them to a catalog mailing list. This information is obviously not accessible to the merchant when paying in cash.

Euthanasia.

“Euthanasia” is a broad term for mercy killing—taking the life of a hopelessly ill or injured individual in order to end his or her suffering. Mercy killing represents a serious ethical dilemma. People do not always die well. Some afflictions cause people to suffer through extreme physical pain in their last days, and euthanasia may seem like a compassionate way of ending this pain. Other patients may request euthanasia to avoid the weakness and loss of mental faculties that some diseases cause, and many feel these wishes should be respected.

But euthanasia also seems to contradict one of the most basic principles of morality, which is that killing is wrong. Viewed from a traditional Judeo-Christian point of view, euthanasia is murder and a blatant violation of the biblical commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” From a secular perspective, one of the principal purposes of law is to uphold the sanctity of human life. Euthanasia is so controversial because it pits the plight of suffering, dying individuals against religious beliefs, legal tradition, and, in the case of physician-assisted death, medical ethics.

This moral dilemma is not new. The term “euthanasia” is derived from ancient Greek, and means “good death.” But while the debate over mercy killing has ancient origins, many observers believe that it is harder today to achieve a good death than ever before. Advances in medicine have increased people’s health and life span, but they have also greatly affected the dying process. For example, in the early twentieth century the majority of Americans died at home, usually victims of pneumonia or influenza. Today most people die in the hospital, often from degenerative diseases like cancer that may cause a painful, lingering death.

Most observers trace the modern euthanasia debate back to the court case of Karen Ann Quinlan, and her story is a poignant example of medical technology’s ability to prolong life. In 1975, after consuming alcohol and tranquilizers at a party, Quinlan collapsed into an irreversible coma that left her unable to breathe without a respirator or eat without a feeding tube. Her parents asked that she be removed from the respirator, but her doctors objected. The New Jersey Supreme Court case that followed was the first to bring the issue of euthanasia into the public eye. In 1976 the court allowed Quinlan’s parents to have the respirator removed. Although Quinlan lived for another nine years (her parents did not want her feeding tube removed), the case set a precedent for a patient’s right to refuse unwanted medical treatment.

In 1990, this right was further expanded in the case of Nancy Cruzan. Cruzan had gone into an irreversible coma in 1983 after a severe car crash, and her parents wanted the machine that was keeping her alive removed. However, in this case the machine consisted of intravenous feeding tubes that provided Cruzan with hydration and nutrition. Her parents viewed the removal of the machine as the termination of unwanted treatment. However, the state of Missouri argued that to remove the feeding tubes would be to intentionally kill Cruzan through starvation. In a controversial vote, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the provision of artificially delivered food and water is a treatment which patients may legally refuse, even if doing so will result in death.

The cases of Quinlan and Cruzan helped develop a social policy that recognizes that some lifesaving treatments are not always appropriate, and permits the removal of these treatments as a form of “passive” euthanasia. But shortly after the Cruzan case more active forms of euthanasia became the focus of public attention. One of the persons most responsible for this is Timothy E. Quill, a physician who in 1991 described in the New England Journal of Medicine the case of “Diane,” a longtime patient of his who was suffering from acute leukemia. She asked Quill for the means to end her life should she find it intolerable, and, unable to dissuade her, he prescribed sleeping pills, telling her how many were necessary to cure insomnia and how many were necessary to commit suicide. Four months later Diane killed herself.

Quill’s article provoked immediate and heated discussion over the legality of physicians’ assisting in suicide. Quill’s selfproclaimed goal is to improve the care dying people receive rather than to legalize any form of euthanasia. Nevertheless, he became a central figure in a court case that challenged the constitutionality of state bans on assisted suicide—Quill and other right-to-die advocates essentially argued that terminally ill patients have a constitutional right to assisted suicide. In 1997, however, the Supreme Court disagreed, ruling that states may legislate for or against physician-assisted suicide as they see fit. (Currently, over 35 states have laws against assisted suicide; only Oregon has legalized the practice.)

Ironically, however, the person most responsible for bringing euthanasia into the public eye is one from whom most right-todie activists have tried to distance themselves: former pathologist Jack Kevorkian, who has admitted helping over 130 people die since 1990. Whereas Quill is regarded as a reasoned, thoughtful spokesman for the terminally ill, Kevorkian is seen as a renegade. Many of the people he has helped to die were not terminally ill, and he did not know them before they requested his assistance in suicide. He holds some bizarre opinions: In his book Prescription: Medicide, Kevorkian advocates experimentation on patients before they die and nonvoluntary euthanasia for anyone whom physicians deem to have an extremely low quality of life. Many of his views and methods have been condemned by right-to-die leaders, yet Kevorkian is the name people most associate with euthanasia.

Prior to 1998, Kevorkian only assisted in suicides. He rigged so-called suicide machines that allowed patients to self-administer a lethal dose of drugs. However, on November 23, 1998, 60 Minutes aired a videotape of Kevorkian participating in a more active form of euthanasia. For the first time, he administered the fatal injection himself, ending the life of Thomas Youk, a fifty-twoyear- old who suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease. On March 26, 1999, a Michigan jury, faced with this videotape evidence, found Kevorkian guilty of murder. The judge in the case did not allow the defense to present testimony about Youk’s pain and suffering, and emphasized that whether the victim consents is legally irrelevant in murder cases. Kevorkian plans to appeal the verdict.

Kevorkian’s is the latest in a series of contentious euthanasia cases that have challenged and, in some cases, changed Americans’ beliefs about death, mercy, and killing. Less than three decades ago, many people considered the removal of a comatose patient’s respirator a shocking act of passive euthanasia. Today, the most divisive euthanasia cases concern physician-assisted suicide and Kevorkian’s direct mercy killing. The authors in Euthanasia: Opposing Viewpoints debate these increasingly complex topics in the following chapters: Is Euthanasia Ethical? Should Voluntary Euthanasia Be Legalized? Would Legalizing Euthanasia Lead to Involuntary Killing? Should Physicians Assist in Suicide? The viewpoints in this book help shed light on the legal and ethical problems that Americans continue to face in their quest for a “good death.”

Euthanasia.

---

Euthanasia is defined as an easy, painless death. In regard to animals, euthanasia is the act of killing an animal in a humane manner. The primary objectives of animal euthanasia are: 1) relieving pain and suffering of the animal(s) to be euthanized, 2) minimizing the pain, anxiety, distress, and fear the animal experiences before consciousness is lost, and 3) inducing a painless and distress-free death.

Observing the behavioral and physiologic responses of animals is beneficial in assessing whether the objectives of euthanasia are being met. A variety of behaviors and physiologic responses may be demonstrated by animals experiencing pain and/or fear, including (but not limited to) distress vocalizations, struggling, escape attempts, agitation, freezing, aggression, fearful postures or facial expressions, trembling, salivating, urinating, defecating, evacuation of anal sacs, pupillary dilation, panting, tachycardia, and sweating. Response to euthanasia procedures (handling, restraint, confinement, venipuncture, gas odors, etc) varies among species and among individuals, necessitating careful monitoring of every euthanasia.

Loss of physiologic function during euthanasia should occur in the following order to help prevent fear and distress: 1) rapid loss of consciousness, 2) loss of motor function, 3) arrest of respiratory and cardiac function, and finally, 4) permanent loss of brain function. If loss of motor or respiratory and cardiac function precedes loss of consciousness, animals become fearful and experience distress. In some species, particularly rabbits and chickens, tonic immobility may be induced by fear, and care must be taken to not confuse this behavioral response with loss of consciousness.

Before the carcass is disposed of, death must be verified by a means appropriate to the species and the method of euthanasia. Care must be taken not to confuse narcosis with death. Determination of death in ectothermic animals may be more difficult due to differences in their physiology.

Euthanasia frequently results in chemical tissue residues, necessitating proper disposal to prevent contamination of the environment or other animals (eg, scavengers, predators).

The methods used for euthanasia of animals intended for consumption by humans or other animals in the USA must meet the requirements of the USDA; chemical agents that result in chemical tissue residues cannot be used unless approved by the FDA.

Other factors that must be taken into account in animal euthanasias include the safety of operators, observers, and other animals; human psychological responses to euthanasia, eg, sadness and grief; and fear and anxiety of other animals exposed to the behaviors, vocalizations, and pheromones of animals being euthanized. Counseling services and pet loss support hotlines are available for grieving pet owners in some communities and veterinary colleges. Personnel involved in euthanasias or animal slaughter may also experience negative psychological consequences. Workplace support programs and accessibility to counseling may help alleviate the stress felt by euthanasia personnel.

The operator must be knowledgeable regarding the agent, method, equipment, and behavior and physiology of the species and individual animal(s) to be euthanized; be trained in the technique; and have demonstrated skill in the euthanasia operation to be performed.

Selection of an appropriate method and agent of euthanasia is paramount in assuring a humane death. Selection is based on the behavior, physiology, and metabolism of the species, as well as any particular characteristics of the individual animal(s) that would influence the ability to use a particular method. The setting, the available means of animal restraint, the skill and knowledge of the operator, the number of animals to be euthanized, and the purpose for which the animal(s) is to be used are also determining factors in selection of the methods and the agent. Euthanasia in circumstances other than the clinical veterinary setting, eg, wildlife in the field, may limit the euthanasia options. However, in all circumstances, humaneness to the animal should be a prevailing concern. Slaughter of animals for food, fur, or fiber, and euthanasia of wildlife and feral animals should all adhere to the same humane standards for euthanasia.

Acceptable methods and agents for euthanasia of different species of animals are listed in Table: Agents and Methods of Euthanasia by Species. It is the obligation of the operator to know the physiology and behavior of the species to be euthanized, and the specific technical information and safety precautions for the method and agent selected. The 2000 report of the American Veterinary Medical Association panel on euthanasia provides additional details, as well as references for specific technical and safety information.

Inhalant agents should not be used alone in animals <16 wk old because neonatal animals are more resistant to hypoxia and it takes longer for them to die. Reptiles, amphibians, diving birds, and diving and burrowing mammals may have a prolonged time to loss of consciousness with inhalant gases. Inhalant anesthetics are useful for small animals (<7 kg) in which injections are difficult. The order of preference of inhalant anesthetics for euthanasia is halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, methoxyflurane, and desflurane, with or without nitrous oxide.

Injectable agents are the most rapid and reliable and are preferred when venipuncture can be accomplished without causing fear to the animal or unnecessary risk to the operator. All barbituric acid derivatives are acceptable IV euthanasia agents. Certain injectable agents (eg, strychnine, nicotine, caffeine, magnesium sulfate, cleaning agents, solvents, disinfectants, other toxins or salts, potassium chloride as a sole agent, and all neuromuscular blocking agents) are absolutely not acceptable and are condemned as agents of euthanasia.

Physical methods of euthanasia, including captive bolt, gunshot, cervical dislocation, decapitation, microwave irradiation, and thoracic compression can be humane methods of euthanasia when used properly by skilled operators with well-maintained equipment and when other means of euthanasia are impractical or contraindicated by the intended use of the animal. Exsanguination, stunning, and pithing should not be used as sole methods of euthanasia but as adjuncts to other methods.

acedemic excellent guarantees a sucessful life

Is success in life determined by academic excellence?

In order for us to debate this, we would have to define what "success" means. It is important to clarify or state the meaning of the word because you don't want it to be left at the interpretation of others.

According to the Merriam- Webster dictionary "success" means: 2 a: to turn out well b: to attain a desired object or end <students who succeed in college>

Having clarified the meaning of the word "success", we can now move on to the next word in your question “determined”.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary “determine” means: 2 a: to fix the form, position, or character of beforehand: ORDAIN <two points determine a straight line> b: to bring about as a result: REGULATE <demand determines the price>

The next step is the implications made by these two words:
1) Is attaining a desired object or end regulated by academic excellence? In other words, this says that if we attained academic excellence, then we will be successful in life.

It’s been the belief that if you are responsible in school and work hard, you show that you are someone responsible. Thus people who are responsible, attain their desired goals.
But what happens when no matter what you do you are not able to change the course of your life? Or what happens when your academic excellence isn’t available to you? May be your parents don’t have the means to provide you with the basic needs and you need to work and can’t make it to school or be the best student you could be. Does this mean your life will be doomed to be unsuccessful?

Who do we consider to be successful people?

Don’t we consider actors/actresses/singers/ athletes/ presidents/CEO’s people who have a successful life? Is their success correlated to their academic scores? We’ve read in the news that our current president George W. Bush was a C student. We’ve also read how many “successful” actors/actresses/singers/athletes had to drop out of school in pursue of their careers.

If success in life were to be determined by academic excellence, does that mean that geeks and nerds are the most successful people out there? They should be the happiest people on earth and the ones most admired- right?

If you were not satisfied with your accomplishments, what would be the purpose of academic excellence?

What does it mean to be successful in life if you aren’t happy? What does it mean to be successful if after you’ve attained every one of your objectives/goals you don’t feel satisfied? What does it mean to be successful in life if the people you love hate you? What does it mean to be successful in life if you keep making poor judgments? What does it mean to be successful if what you studied in school is a career you hate, and the career you love you’re not even average?

people commit crime for selfish reason

Crime is a very dangerous and harmful to everyone.It can happen anywhere.Some people have selfish atitude in themselves and being selfish in this context refers to the feeling of being inconsiderate and think mainly for one' sself pleasure of interest is not a good feeling for individual because it's one of the factor why crime happen.So it is agreed that people commit crime for selfish reason.There are three reasons why being selfish is the cause for people to commit crime.

Firstly,influence by the feeling.Sometimes people have the feeling of envy.They jealous on what others have.For example,new handphone with a modern technology and have a things with a percious stuff until then they feel desperate because they cant afford it just because they poor or no money.Thus,some of them are too greedy because of their family inheritance.Next,self-dianity and avoid responsibilities in cases of abotion and baby dumping.


Secondly,I heard a lot of story that they also will revenge of anything to get what they want or they feel disatisfied with someone that they hate so much old story.My self and I also will do the same thing because I can't control my own feeling of revengeful.I will do anything to get my right and what I disatisfied with someone and whatever I like.



Lastly, they are peer preasure they being too girly until if their friends tell them to do anything they will do without thinking.For example,their friends challenges them to do anything that they dont want to do.Next,about their schools they build a gang bang and they will do whatever they like such as they hit people and bully them.Thus,it also because of their teachers make them stress give them a lot of homeworks and too much extra class in the evening and night.


Based on the point given,I strongly agree that being selfish is the main reason why people commit crime with selfish reason.

online shopping

Online shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the internet. It is a form of electronic commerce. An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, webshop, webstore or services, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products at a bricks and mortal retailer or in a shopping mall.
