COMPLAINS OF:WHY MUST WE WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORMS: Allowing students to wear their own choice of clothing makes life easier for low-income families who may not be able to afford uniforms, and for the schools who might be required to provide financial assistance to such families. ... Keeping non-uniform clothing choices prevents such cuts.
TAKING THE STAIRS EXCUSE :So, while taking the stairs is undoubtedly a great exercise for your overall health, it does put a lot of stress on the knees—especially when going down. So, although walking up and down stairs can have benefits, if it causes knee pain, it may be time to consult with your physician 

EXTINCT ANIMALS-

PETS-
some of us have pets but even if you don't, you probably know someone who does. If you have a pet, you probably have a cat, dog, fish, hamster or something like that. but there are pretty strange pets out there. you may have heard of them, but probably not as pets:

There are many different animals in the world, some wild, some domestic and some that don't even exist anymore. just remember that any animal, even dogs or cats may go extinct. we should take care of all animals so that they will still be around.

The anime industry consists of over 430 production companies, including major studios like Studio Ghibli, Sunrise, and Toei Animation. Since the 1980s, the medium has also seen international success with the rise of foreign dubbed and subtitled programming. As of 2016, Japanese anime accounted for 60% of the world's animated television shows.    
Anime differs greatly from other forms of animation by its diverse art styles, methods of animation, its production, and its process. Visually, anime works exhibit a wide variety of art styles, differing between creators, artists, and studios. While no single art style predominates anime as a whole, they do share some similar attributes in terms of animation technique and character design.      
Watching anime has a lot of benefits. Anime is suitable for all ages. Young or old, you will definitely enjoy some part of it. Anime will also teach you a lot about Japanese culture. Instead of reading off of textbooks, watching anime is probably going to be a better way to engage pupils during class. Japanese culture is fascinating and learning about it through anime is not only fun, it will definitely teach you a thing or two about Japanese culture. Anime is more than entertainment. It becomes a hobby. Anime also has its own global community. If you do fall in love with it, you can gain access to a much wider community via the Internet. Also dubbed ‘Otaku,’ the online world wide anime community is great. You will get to know others who love anime, and the bond is pretty strong to say the least. Another reason for why most people like anime is because of its interesting and unique characters. Anime provides a massive catalog of characters because of the ability to perform in any fictional setting. Characters can vary from high school student and space cowboys to demons, samurais, ninjas, pirates, detectives, ghosts, and gods. There are no limits with regards to what characters can be. each character has their own unique weaknesses, strengths, motivation, and other traits, as well as unique hairstyles too! One of the great things about anime is the plethora of strong female characters that are featured throughout. Women are not portrayed as weak or damsels in distress. Rather, they are formidable, strong and powerful, and they have the ability to go toe-to-toe with any man. In fact, you will often find the female characters beating the male characters. Anime is also incredibly relatable. ust because it is an animation does not mean that you cannot relate to it. Most of the series deal with moral dilemmas and serious issues. While the stories may be fictional, the scenarios very much  apply to real life. You will be surprised by how many life lessons you can learn by watching anime.

A few anime worth watching are:
- My hero academia
- Haikyuu!!
- Demon Slayer
- Seven Deadly Sins
- A Whisker Away
- Spirited Away
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Castle in the Sky
- Kiki's Delivery Service

Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are  with the term.
Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

·      Deforestation

Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate.

·      Covid-19

COVID-19 has been spreading rapidly over the past several months, and the U.S. death toll has now reached 400,000. As evident from the age distribution of those fatalities, COVID-19 is dangerous not only for the elderly but for middle-aged adults, according to a new study.

COVID-19 is often more severe in people 60+yrs or with health conditions like lung or heart disease, diabetes or conditions that affect their immune system.​

Face masks are recommended to prevent onward transmission in the general population in public areas, particularly where distancing is not possible, and in areas of community transmission. This could include the school grounds in some situations. Masks may help to protect others, because wearers may be infected before symptoms of illness appear. The policy on wearing a mask or face covering should be in line with national or local guidelines. Where used, masks should be worn, cared for and disposed of properly. 

·         Global warming

Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. We can prevent global warming by taking public transport instead of cars and we should use electricity only when needed; do not waste electricity.

There are many types of music such as,

Kpop ,Jass ,Pop ,Hip hop ,Folk music ,Electronic music and many more!

Music is alsoan art that, in one guise or another, permeates every human society. Modern music is heard in a bewildering profusion of styles, many of them contemporary, others engendered in past eras. Music is a protean art; it lends itself easily to alliances with words, as in song, and with physical movement, as in dance. Throughout history, music has been an important adjunct to ritual and drama and has been credited with the capacity to reflect and influence human emotion. Popular culture has consistently exploited these possibilities, most conspicuously today by means of radio, film, television, musical theatre, and the Internet. The implications of the uses of music in psychotherapy, geriatrics, and advertising testify to a faith in its power to affect human behaviour. Publications and recordings have effectively internationalized music in its most significant, as well as its most trivial, manifestations. Beyond all this, the teaching of music in primary and secondary schools has now attained virtually worldwide acceptance.

 

But the prevalence of music is nothing new, and its human importance has often been acknowledged. What seems curious is that, despite the universality of the art, no one until recent times has argued for its necessity. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus explicitly denied any fundamental need for music: “For it was not necessity that separated it off, but it arose from the existing superfluity.” The view that music and the other arts are mere graces is still widespread, although the growth of psychological understanding of play and other symbolic activities has begun to weaken this tenacious belief.
