FLOWERS
Amidst the garden’s verdant grace,
A symphony of blooms takes place.
Lilacs, roses, lilies fair,
Their fragrant scents perfuming the air.
Each petal, delicate and bright,
A testament to nature’s might.
The sun’s warm rays bring forth their hue,
A rainbow of colour, pure and true.
Their beauty, fleeting as it seems,
Remind us of life’s fleeting dreams.
But in their brief and wondrous time,
They bring such joy, so pure and fine.
So let us cherish every flower,
In every moment, every hour.
For in their loneliness, we find,
A glimpse of beauty, so divine.
ETHICS IN SPORTS
Sports
have long been a source of inspiration, motivation, and entertainment for
people around the world. Whether it’s watching a professional athlete break a
world record or cheering on a local team in a community league, sports can
bring people together and create a sense of community. However, with the high
stakes and intense competition that often accompany sports questions about
ethics and fair play arise. Here, we will explore the importance of ethics in
sports and some of the key ethical principles that should guide all athletes
and sports organizations.
One
of the most fundamental ethical principles in sports if fair play. Fair play
means treating opponents with respect and playing by the rules. It also means
recognizing that winning isn’t everything and that athletes should strive to
compete to the best of their ability while also demonstrating good
sportsmanship. Fair play is not just about winning, but about playing the game
with integrity and respect for the other players and the sport itself.
Another
important sports ethic is the idea of honesty. This means being truthful about
one’s abilities, accomplishments, and actions on and off the field. Athletes
should not cheat, lie or intentionally mislead others in order to gain an
advantage. Honesty also means being accountable for one’s mistakes and talking.
Cheating
in sports can take many different forms and can be done in various ways
depending on the sport and the situation. Some common ways that cheating can
occur in sports include:
1.
Performance-enhancing drugs: Athletes may use drugs or
other substances to enhance their performance, such as steroids or blood
doping.
2.
Match-fixing: This involves manipulating the outcome of a game or match in order to win a bet
or gain an advantage.
EE Equipment tampering: An athlete may tamper with their equipment or that of their opponent to gain an unfair advantage.
2.
Time-wasting: In some sports, like football (soccer),
a team may intentionally waste time in order to run out the clock and win the
game.
3.
Intentional fouls: An athlete may commit a foul on
purpose in order to prevent the other team from scoring or gaining an
advantage.
4.
Unsportsmanlike conduct: This can include taunting or
disrespecting the other team or officials, or intentionally injuring another
player.
Cheating in sports not only undermines the integrity of the sport but also puts the safety and well-being of athletes at risk. It is important for athletes, coaches, and sports organizations to prioritize fair play and ethical behaviour in sports and take measures to prevent cheating. This can clued drug testing, strict rules and regulations, and consequences for those who are caught cheating. It is also important for athletes to prioritize honesty and integrity and play to the best of their abilities without compromising the fairness of the game. – NARA (With the help of Chatbot GPT)
CLIMATE CHANGE
The call has come, the time is now
We must act, we must allow
Our planet to breathe free once more
Our future depends on what’s in store.
The air we breathe, the water we drink
Is being poisoned, pushed to the brink
The sun beats down, and the Earth grows hot
This cycle, we cannot let it not.
It’s time to plant and make amends
To clean the oceans make friends
With Earth, our home, our only source
Of life, of love, of peace of course.
Let’s green the Earth, let’s grow the trees
Let’s sing the songs of busy bees
For every step we take, a new path will form
A bright and hopeful future, a world reborn.
So join the fight, let’s change our fate
The time is now, it’s not too late
Let’s save the planet, our home is so true
Let’s make a difference, me and you.

IMPACT OF INTERNET ON OUR SOCIETY
The internet has had an immense impact on our society, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with one another. This technology has revolutionized communication, information sharing, and access to resources, and has opened up a new era of opportunities and challenges for people around the world.
Over the past few decades, the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, touching almost every aspect of modern society. It has enabled us to connect with people from across the globe in real-time, allowing us to build relationships, collaboration projects, and share ideas and knowledge. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have given us new ways to communicate and interact with others, leading to the emergence of online communities and social networks that transcend geographic, cultural, and political boundaries.
The internet has also transformed the way we access and consume information. With a few clicks of a button, we can now browse through millions of pieces of content on any topic of interest, including news, entertainment, education, and research. This has given rise to a new culture of self-education and informal learning, empowering people to learn new skills and pursue lifelong learning at their own pace and convenience.
The impact of the internet on the economy has been equally profound, with the emergence of new business models, industries, and job opportunities. E-commerce has become a major force in the retail industry, allowing consumers to purchase goods and services online from anywhere in the world. Digital marketing and advertising have become a major essential tools for businesses to reach their target audiences and promote their products and services, while the gig economy has created a living on-demand through platforms like Uber, Airbnb, and Upwork.
However, along with these positive developments, the internet has also brought about new challenges and risks for our society. One of the biggest concerns is the issue of privacy and security, as the vast amounts of personal data being shared online have made individuals vulnerable to identify theft, hacking and other cyber crimes. The rise of fake news and disinformation campaigns on social media has also raised concerns about the impact of the internet on our democracy and the public discourse.
Moreover, the internet has also had social and psychological impacts on individuals and societies. The constant stimulation and distraction of the internet can lead to addiction, social isolation, and mental health issues. The prevalence of online harassment and cyber bullying has also led to concerns about the negative impact of the internet on our social and emotional well being.
Despite these challenges, the internet remains an essential tool for modern society, offering a range of benefits and opportunities to people around the world. With the appropriate safeguards and regulations in place, the internet can continue to strengthen our social connections, enhance our knowledge and skills, and drive economic growth and innovation. It is up to us as individuals and as a society to harness the power of the internet responsibly and to mitigate its negative impacts on our lives and communities. – NARA (Written with the help of Chatbot GPT)
