Example of persuasion essay To a great extent, donating blood is regarded as a gift of life since giving our blood to other people we often save their lives. Therefore, every healthy individual should be ready to donate his/her blood in case of necessity or urgency. Donating blood is a safe process while sterile needles and bags are applied to collect blood and therefore the infection spread to the donor impossible. The US regulations, for instance, allow donating blood once per 56 days. A donor must be at least 17 years old and in good health, and weigh at least 110 pounds. Furthermore prior to donating, a donor is obliged to pass health history and physical history reviews.
Blood donation is a voluntary process wherein volunteers provide their blood for a community supply. “ it is crucially important for any country to advance its blood transfusion system to ensure regular, safe and sustainable blood supply”. It is rather important therefore that every individual is aware of blood donation basics and fully comprehends the vital importance of the whole process. Often, the amount of donate blood, even few milliliters, can save other person’s life, therefore appropriate donors are always at hand in case of emergency.
The process is entirely bona fide in most countries assuming that donors are willing to help others. “ it is important that the voluntary, unpaid blood donation become part of our culture – that’s why more people should join the donor actions”. Due to blood donation therefore, millions of people worldwide owe their lives to people they will never meet to talk to – people who freely donate their blood without asking for any reward. “ the blood donation approach and the legislation have to be changed in all countries to unpaid ones”. Donors’ blood is always needed despite the newest medical and surgical advancements. Mere 400 ml. of donates blood can save three people’s lives. The practice of blood donation is widespread worldwide, and the 14th of June is acclaimed and support the global movement that encourages regular blood donations, UN and WHO members donate their blood in various cities of the world.
blood is perceived as the most precious gift under certain situations, and therefore blood donation is certainly an act of human dignity. However, there are too many people unaware of the blood donation procedure and therefore cannot help others even if they can. This indicates that large international organizations should mainly emphasize on the awareness rising initiatives to encourage people 17up to facilitate their communities as donors. Regrettably, in most cases we do care when the disaster is near. Then we urge from outside help and seek the ways out of situation. Unfortunately, too often it is late to change something or save someone’s life. one day we need the precious outsider to help us while the other day the person unknown to us will need our help. Blood donation should therefore be perceived as mutually supportive process everyone should be aware of. Our knowledge and spreading it to others can reap many benefits in the long run. Most importantly, we should never remain indifferent to others needs. And if we won’t that someone helps us when the black days comes, we should help first ourselves.
Example of argumentation essay Educational system all over the world are based on the idea that students get and remember information from teacher and book. These systems test this knowledge with standardized tests which compare students to each-other. They only test the kind of information which is possible to measure in tests. The goal is gaining information, not developing skills by which to use and make information. Unlike the old style of education where people remembered things in order to pass tests and get higher scores than other students, the modern world calls for a new kind s of education in which the focus is deep understanding, creativity, and information management skills.
Most education system in the world are designed to make students remember things. One reason is that school feel the need to compare students. They do this by giving tests. They want to be able to give grades and decided which students are smart and which are not. They function as a sorting mechanism for society . From the earliest grades, students are put on track s that will decided their futures. Another reason schools like to make students remember things is that by doing so they will be able to test their knowledge and determine if their remember or not. They believe that if students remember things it is the same as understanding those things. Schools also like impart knowledge because in this way, although students can have different individual skills, they can all have the same knowledge.
Einstein said” imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world” (Needle, 2007). All the knowledge in the world is useless unless you are able to use information in creative ways. Knowledge is what other people have created. Understanding is all about what you think about something . Everybody sees, hears, feels, and thinks differently. No two people in the world have the same understanding of the same thing. It is impossible to give tests on point of view. Because of this, tests are illogical. The only reason tests exist is to label students as “smart” or “stupid”. There are many kinds of intelligence, however. One of the most famous researchers in the field of intelligence, Gardner, found at least seven different kinds of intelligence (Gardner, 1999). Intelligence and understanding are related. Unfortunately, test only measure one type of intelligence.
In the modern world skills are more important than knowledge. If a person knows many facts, it is impressive, but not very useful. It is of much greater importance to be able to find information quickly, organize that information, analyze and understand the main ideas, put different pieces of information together (synthesize) and create new information. Together these skills make what we call information management and innovation, the skills which are most desired in the business world. Most people in the world believe that education is about remembering things to take tests which measure one’s performance against other people who have studied the same information. However , this idea no longer matches the reality of the modern world in which knowledge is less important than creativity and deep understanding. To be successful in the age of technology, education must focus on helping students gain information management and innovation skills.
