Effects of Palestine terrorist attacks on the Israeli civilian population
As we all know, the conflict between Palestinian and Israeli people look that have no solution and the effects of if are too many. Palestinian groups as: “Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Abu Nidal Organization”(terrorist against Isrrael,wikipedia) take violent actions that have effects on the civilians, the economy and the international investment of the Israeli people.
As an effect of the attacks, a lot of innocent people die cause of the methods that use to strike some as: car bombing, qassam rockets, aircraft hijacking. As we all know, all these things bring unnecessary death and fear in the innocent Israeli civilians. “821 Israeli civilians have been killed in acts of political violence carried out by Palestinians since the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, 553 of whom were killed within the 1949 Armistice lines, mainly by suicide bombers. Targets of attacks included buses, restaurants, discotheques, shopping malls, a university, and civilian homes in Israeli settlements within the West Bank and Gaza Strip” (terrorist against Israel, Wikipedia).
“There have been instances where Palestinians have exploited children for attacks, as bomb transporters and suicide bombers. On March 16, 2005, an Israeli border guard found a bomb in the school bag of 12-year-old Abdullah Quran at a military checkpoint near Nablus. His life was saved only because a cell phone rigged to detonate the 13-pound bomb failed to set off the explosive at the checkpoint as it had been designed to do” (terrorist against Israel, Wikipedia).
These attacks also have effects on the economy of Israel, these explosions make a lot of damage on the infrastructure and broke all the business that destroy because of it, at the same time they a lot of manage business centers slowing down making difficult to everybody make money.
In the same way, because of all the instability that all these represent, international invertors do not even think about doing business in Israel because is too risky. Over all, the kind of place that represent congregation of people such as movie theatres, and malls because there are the kinds of places that the Palestine groups use to strike.
In conclusion, these attacks do more than put pressure on the Israeli government to put Palestine people in to freedom--they destroy a lot of lives, deteriorate the economy and decrease international investment. We all see that killing people has no work, so you should ask to yourself how many lives it will take to free Palestine people. Or how many they need to kill to realize that they are not going to get their land acting this way.

Tattoos and body piercing common perspective

There is a lot of people think that tattoos and body piercing are just for drugs problems persons or criminal but the truth is that both tattoos and piercing are a form of art that reflects the personality and individuality of the person that wear them, now we are going to know the real reasons of how a person get a tattoo a piercing and most important of all that all the taboos that involve them.

Is very common that a person associate a tattoo or a person with some kind of body perforation for a bad but the truth is that there is nothing different or bad about these person just because they have something draw in the skin or a hole in some part of the body or because you draw something with a marker in your arm you start to thick in make a crime or consume drugs. Other wrong idea about these thins is that if you get a piercing done you are going to get AIDS but the truth is that these can happens if you do it without the proper health conditions, normally the needle is new and sterilize before use it and you must take care of if after is done to avoid infections. If all these aspects are take care of you don’t have to be worry about any heath complications.

Other important point is that these persons don’t do this type of thins because they are crazy or something many people do it to remember somebody that is gone or very far away, to calm the pain or just because they appreciate the art and there is no better way to admire something that you very like that carry it with you in your own skin.

Other thin that people don’t know is that tattoos have a very antic and extend history for example the Maori people in “New Zeeland develop a technique to tattooing name Moko and consist in wood cancels with little points on the end an a lithe hammer” (http://www.tattooarchive.com/tattoo_history.htm), like these culture many others use this form of art to express themselves and their believes, the same thin goes to de body piercing in fact even now there are aborigines tribes that use body perforations. “Nose piercing was first recorded in the Middle East aproximately 4,000 years ago, it is mentioned in The Bible in Genesis 24:22 Abraham requested his oldest servant to find a wife for his son Isaac, the servant found Rebekah, and one of the gifts he gave her was a "golden earring" the original Hebrew word used was Shanf, which also translates as "nose-ring".”(http://www.painfulpleasures.com/piercing_history.htm)
In conclusion the tattoos and piercing are a form of expression and all the real reasons behind them and the taboos and wrong ides that the people have about them were nothing but that wrong ideas, and the truth is that there are more and more acceptable in society as the person are informed about the real facts of tattoos and body piercing.

Improving proofreading skills

There were also several differences between Washington and Lincoln. Washington came from a wealthy aristocratic background, he had several years of schooling and Lincoln came from a poor background and had very little schooling. Another difference between the two involved their military roles. Washington was a general, he was a military leader became president. Lincoln never served in the military, he was a lawyer who early on became a politician, when he became president he took on the role of commander in chief as all U.S. presidents do. Despite his lack of military background or training, lincoln made several strategic decisions that enabled the U.S. military leaders to win the Civil War. Finally, Washington served for two terms and therefore had eight years to accomplish his policies. Lincoln, on the other hand, was assasinated. While in office and was not able to finish some of the things that he wanted for the country.

the movie talk about the life of the palistan people that live in Isrrael, we can see how these people and particulary a litle boy live between violence an cross fire an tey are use to be in dese stuation in the way that they are not afray of listen gun shoots just wen they lool that the bullets are hiting near them the moove and take precautions about it. the siuating that they are living is so hard that in most of the images there is an ambulance carreing hurt people. I think that that all dese are the one of the ugly faces of a war that have a very hi cos but is no havin nothing but death and tears.

but in the other han I thik that the movio just show the side of the palestanie and left behind the israeli people that die and sufer fo the actions of the palestanie terrorist groups like suicide boomers and man oher was and methods that they use to strike back.

Writing gudenlines

These text talk about how in the with de unprompted use of the language you can refer o say something that you don’t mean to.

- The biased language refers to people in a non specific way, in that matter if you say: all the class room is invited to a party them thick that they can’t brig they friends or family because they are no part of the class room even if you don’t mean to exclude them.
- Inclusive language include everybody so in expressions like man kind or human beings they talk about all of us like humans that we are of for example if you say the zoo animals you refer to all the animals of all the sepses that live on a zoo.
- Sexist languages promote stereotypes and remarks the differences for example say that women’s can’t do some activities because they are women an they are mans job or that man can’t do some activity because that is not he’s job.
- Nonsexist language treats man and women equally.
- Gender free terms that not indicates sex and can be use in both cases man or woman.
- Gender-fair language look that the gender-specific words are use in a equally and non sexist way.
- Gender-specific words are words that take a root and apply the gender to specify for example businessman, show girl…
- Generic are words that include everybody and can be use in all purpose for example: workers, students, or generic pronouns like he she they.
- Pseudo generic is a word that try to include everybody but it doesn’t for example: we want to help all the Indian communities that live on the town area.
- Sex, talk about biological differences so if you have male genitals are males and the ones ho have female genitals are female.
- Gender: is cultural so it depends of how is suppose to act a masculine person and if concedes with you way of act you are consider a masculine person and is the same way with feminine.
- Pseudo generic man someone thin that man includes the entire person so some women fell offended and say that the word man is very ambiguous.
- Parallel treatment of terms is basically when two people talk about two completely different topics.
- Gender role words meanings depend of the cultural approach to them so girlish have different meanings depend of the culture that surround it.

I thin that all dose words and rules make u think about if se don’t know well the language that we are talking can be offensive for other person if there is a sexist commentaries or the exclusion of some person without you know so.
