Mesopotamia And Egypt Civilization

Ancient civilization has been carrying tons of history. It has been always curiosity to us that how we started to civilize and what leaded us till this stage. Scientists, historians and lots of researches agreed that human civilization started between 3500 and 3200 B.C.E. in Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. On the other hand, Egyptian civilization also started almost at the same time as Mesopotamian civilization. Around 3200 BCE, Egypt was brought together under one ruler—King Narmer. This is recognized as the beginning of the Egyptian civilization. In this essay, I am going to explain and compare between Mesopotamian and Egyptian's inventions and innovations.

Mesopotamian contributes a lot to accelerate the civilization process. They invented many important things, which we are still using and also, we are following their innovations. Mesopotamian's most remarkable invention was wheel transport. It was really tough and vital invention at that time. Another great invention of them was the calendar. They set the time, days, months based in twelve and its multiplication. We couldn't imagine how they invented such kind of things. Writing was also invented in Mesopotamia; actually writing was not invented, it evolved gradually over the course of a millennium. At the starting point, they used pictographic writing and it's developed by time. They also innovated basic concepts and formulas of Mathematics. History shows that they were especially focused in arithmetical and algebraic concepts.

Egyptian civilization has also contributed in many major inventions. Their emphasis was in the field of architecture and engineering. The engineering used in the construction of great pyramids by them has dazzled the world. Archeologists say that the construction of these monuments took a period of 20 years and the labor of thousands of men. The pyramid of Khufu at Giza has been such a remarkable achievement from ancient era that the modern world considers them as one of the seven wonders created by mankind in the past. Egyptian's next creation was a writing material similar to paper called papyrus from reeds found in the Nile. They developed a writing system called hieroglyphs that combined pictures and symbols. Eventually, they created an alphabet from their symbols. They also created calendar that was based on ten instead of twelve.

In my view, invention of calendar and wheels can be considered the most valuable invention of the Mesopotamian civilization. Because of Calendar, we are able to mark the important moments of the history. Wheels made it possible to travel around the world revealing great mysteries and bonding with other civilizations. Similarly, Ancient Egyptians are widely appreciated for their invention of paper and writing system. Invention of the writing system has indeed helped us document the historical achievements. Because of the writing system, we are able to study about the past.

Inventions are always precious to human civilization. Inventions show the creativity and logical reasoning possessed by humans of past and present. Human beings have always been indulged in finding solutions to simplify the ways of doing things. Humans also posses desire to leave behind them something remarkable to be cherished by future generations. As a result, great achievements are born. The pace of civilization begun from our ancestors has brought us to this modern age. It’s a dynamic world where nothing is constant. Each day presents us a new invention. It wonders me when I think of how our civilizations have developed till today and how there are still many wonders to come.

People have become overly dependent on technology.

We use technology on a daily basis every single day. Sometimes we don’t even realize it. We can’t imagine our day without technology. Mobile, laptop, computer, TV, car and so many other stuffs play the main role in our life to make perfect. But can you imagine what about few decades before? People survived their life without technology; however, they were living happily and creative too. Present days, people have become overly dependent on technology.

Now days, most of the students don’t know how to use a physical dictionary because of the internet sources and online dictionaries. Without thinking much, in one click people can get all the information whatever they want. For the small mathematics problems people use the calculator, so their mind becomes inactive in time. This kind of technology makes our life easier, but kills our creativity. People are becoming lazy day-by-day and expecting easier way than today’s technology.

Another huge impact technology has on our society is communication and social media. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google have all contributed to the advance of technological advancement over the internet. News can be spread in all over the world within a second. People talk, chat, introduce with another people, and find the favorite music, movies and all the information from the internet; in result, the earlier technology; such as, gramophone, radio, CDs, DVDs and many more disappearing slowly.

People get lots of facilities because of the new invention; on the other hand, people are getting lots of trouble too. Many records show that most accidents are caused by people using their phones while driving. People use to text and talk while travelling so they could distract easily. Technology is a big help and a big problem.

People are totally dependent with technology in present days. What would be happening, if all the technology disappeared suddenly? Can we survive or not? Even we can’t imagine the world without technology. We need technology and inventions, but we don’t have to fully dependent with it. It creates lots of problems and gradually our new generation might be less creative human. Some of the technology really helps us in our daily life, but we keep little bit distance with it and don’t be addicted to mobile and internet.

The Causes of Stress In College Students

Now days every college provides a free consultantion to the students for their problems. Many researches show that in America, about 30 percent of university students left the college before completing their degree. Students discontinue their studies because of stresses. Students may get stressed because of different reasons. I am going to write some of the major reasons why students getting stressed in their life.

One of the main reasons to get stress is not being organized. Many college students is not able to organize their work and priorities. New students in college get difficult to manage their classes, documents, assignment and all the paperwork without teachers and parents guidance.

Competition is another cause to get stressed. There are many talented students come from different area and its tougher competition than high school level. Students' career depends on their grade so to gain the better grade students might feel more pressure.

The next possible reason for the stress is workload. Many college students don't realize that this is not high school. Students have to work for their bills, food, apartment rent, car installment, and stationary, also they have to maintain their study. Lots of assignments, presentation, and tests along with job create so much stress. It is very hard to manage their workload smoothly.

Not being organized, tough competition, and workload are the three major cases for the stress. It's right time to solve these cases, also at least we have to try to find out the solution by any alternate ways; otherwise, it is very critical situation if students keep dropping their classes because of stress. In the future, the country could be in trouble because of illiterate citizens. We have to discover the way to rid off the stress and ideas to encourage students for continuing their study such as more flexible financial aid and scholarship.

Nepalese and American Societies

There are many differences and similarities between American and Nepalese societies. Both societies have lots of similarities, which help us to adjust in each other's culture. Many major festivals, geographical structure, education system and cultural diversity are the some common factors among American and Nepalese societies. On the other hand, there are many differences between these two societies. Marriage concept, parenting and generation handover are the major contrast parts between American and Nepalese societies.

Both Nepalese and American societies celebrate the most common festivals; such as, New Year, Christmas, Valentine Day etc. Gathering friends and family, arranging parties and outing are the celebrating styles how both societies do in the festivals. Another similar thing between these societies is the geographical structure of the country and diversity of people. Both has mountains, hills and flat lands, also lots of different culture and religion groups combine together. Another, the education system is same in both societies. Classification of the levels and grading systems are the same process in the both societies.

Marriage concept between American and Nepalese societies is totally different. In Nepalese society, if a couple marriages once they have to spend their whole life together, even there is unhappy relation, unmatched the ideas and thought or not satisfied with the partner. Mostly women are sacrificing life thinking that their life style already fixed by God or their Karma. On the other hand, in American society, people don't want to do compromise in their life. If they are not happy with their partner, they might separate immediately. The next big difference is parenting and generation handover tradition. In the Nepalese society, parents take care their son and daughter for the whole life and they hand over all the property to their kids before they die, but in contrast, American society force to leave parents shelter when kids reach eighteen years old. After teenager, American struggle and become independent themselves, also they don't expect their parents money and property.

In my point of view, I like an American society. Even though they divorced many times in their life, they are free and independent. They don't have to sacrifice their whole life in unsatisfied matters. Also, kids learn to struggle and they get a chance to understand the value of life.

The Effect Of Job Loss On Mental Health

A good job is very important to human for maintain and organize their life perfectly. When one has a job, you make money that can sustain your needs or wants and provide everything the person and whole family’s desire. Job plays vital role in our life to make happy or satisfied, but suddenly loosing a job is not a pretty thing in our life. Losing a job unexpectedly might bring lots of problems in our life. The effects of losing a job can affect the whole family a lot. It can make harder our life and might effect in our psychological health.

Losing job creates financial problems in the family. Lacking of regular income can bring lots of problems. It is hard to pay apartment rent, insurance, groceries and most initial things in our daily life because of job loss. Most families have no emergency savings to use if they become jobless. As a result, many families turn to food storerooms or state assistance programs just so that they can eat. It is this struggle for the simple essentials in life that leads to added worries.

Losing job can experience different kinds of psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, fear and many more. It makes so complicated to our life if we couldn't handle unemployment time in the right way. Depression and anxiety can cause a person to change emotions and behavior. It can lead to the end of a marriage or changes in the relationships between people. As a consequence worse mental health might ruin your life.

Losing job is a big problem in our life and it's not easy to face in unemployment period. We might lose our social status and reputation along with losing jobs. Society can change their prospect of view in our life when we lose jobs. Most of the jobless people involved in alcohol and drugs to skip their mental torture; in addition, they may involve in criminal activities to get easy money. In conclusion, losing job creates many problems in mental health and it leads to ruin our life.

Qualities Of A Successful Student

A country became more capable if there are educated citizens. Today's students are tomorrow educated citizens, yet more than fifty percent of students can't get their goal. Students discontinue their education for many reasons and most of them have a lack of effective qualities. In my opinion and many researches indicates that successful students should have at least these qualities: attitude, ability, and self-discipline.

Student's attitude is the most important quality to become a success. Who give more attention in class, even there is not interested topics can be a successful student; furthermore, successful students always eager to learn something new. If we give attention and interest on something, it is very easy to understand and retain in mind for a long period.

Ability is another factor, which is required for successful students. Ability gives a variety of meanings, but in this case learning capacity, creativity, and knowledge implement known as ability. Students should be competent for the critical analysis and creative thoughts. However, a student has a lot of knowledge and creative ideas, it is useless unless he/she is learning how to use his expertise.

It's not easy to be a successful student. Successful students obviously linked to career and life, so successful in students never fails in the rest of the life. Self-discipline is the main key to become lucrative. Student's life most initial part is organizing their time. Effective time management skills lead to a fruitful way of life. In addition, students should give attention to assignment due dates and should contribute extra time for revision course contents.

In my opinion, most of the students became a failure on the way because they don't get the main point. One of the famous quotes, "Students are the pillar of the nation", shows that how much critical students are. But I want to add only the wealthiest students are essential, not all the students. To sum up, students could make their life worthwhile and prosperous if they adopt these foremost qualities.

Changes in Men's and Women's Roles

Changes in men's and women's roles seem awkward and intolerable, but it helps us to learn each others responsibilities and complications. Women's main role is to take care the children and house management. When men start babysitting, women can go outside for the work; men change the baby diaper, do the shower for baby, feed them and play with them whole days. We can imagine that one of the bore things is to play with different kinds of toys and watch the cartoon movies with kids; on the other hand, military and hard labor work may be difficult for the women, too. Men should clean the house and cook the food when women go out to the job; furthermore, men should do the shop, grocery, wash, iron and perhaps mend the family's clothes. Women also have lots of responsibilities if they act as men; for example, women have to arrange all the family expenses, rebuild the broken house, organize the summer vacation plan and manage the debt and future security deposit, yet it is the interesting part that they could go bar and casino or a strip dance where men show the erotic performance. As the same way, few neighbor men meet together and backbiting others and talk about the TV serial, also they exchange the clothes and foods. We always think and complain that our opposite gender has less responsibilities and easy life, but when we change the roles each other we may realize that others roles and importance.
