June 24, 2009RE Homework, I'm Pretty Proud Of It HaHaR.E - Aii: Explain why there is a need for world development.
World development is an effort to improve the world's economic and social position of the world.
Many countries in the world are poor for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are war, natural disasters and the issue of having clean water. The way that natural disasters affect poor countries is because it is more devastating for the countries which are poor because they wont have the money to restore the damage and if they borrow the money from other countries which are rich they will probably be only be able to pay of the interest of the money they owe, resulting in them going into even more debt. The way that war affects a countries economic position is because after a war the land that the country originally owned has been taken over by another country which is richer so then they will have to buy back the plot of land which they wont be able to afford. And the way that the issue of clean water affects poorer countries is because there is no clean water resulting in diseases and illnesses which will push the need and cost for medical services up; in the world there are about 1.4 billion people who don't have access to clean water.
Some of the reasons why world needs world development is because of the United Nations Declaration, this is the human rights act. Within this document it states "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services". This is stating that it is a basic human right to have a suitable standard of living.
Another reason is the issue of the poorer countries getting ripped off by the richer countries with the products that they make. A reason why the workers in the poorer countries should get a fair amount of money for their good is because this will lift their standard of living and will be a step closer to ending world poverty.
One more reason why there is a need for world development is that the planet can be seen as a "global village" meaning that we are all one big community and if one country is effected by poverty it will have a knock on effect with the countries which are richer, also the countries that are poor should be able to get help from the more richer countries seen as that's what a community does.

June 1, 2009The Art of Subconscious IllusionThe Art of Subconscious Illusion
Waking up the vampire slowly rose out of her bed after being woken by her human tenant. A low growl formed in her throat. Opening the room door she saw him grinning innocently. This instantly put her in a good mood. She brushed past him and went downstairs into the kitchen and started to make what was to her breakfast to make her look human. The food that she made tasted bland. All she wanted was blood. The tenant came bounding down the stairs like a five year old when it's Christmas eager to open the presents that have been laid under the Christmas tree. Jumping next to her he changed the channel on the TV. Slowly she breathed in his candy like sent. Temptation started to take over her body like a fire inside her. She could bite him within a second, taste his sweet blood and he wouldn't be able to stop her. Digging her nails into her arm trying to stop the temptation only made her lust for blood become more alive and thrive more inside. The time was coming to where she knew that she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Quickly she rushed out of the door before she could harm the tenant she cared so much about (who was left confused). It wasn't long until she laid her hands on a victim. The vampire couldn't help but let a smile spread across her face as the human tried to get away in a frenzied panic. Suddenly the vampire disappeared. The victim ran only stopping when the vampire appeared in front of him. Before the human knew what was happening, she sank her fangs deep into his neck and started to drink. The blood flowed into her mouth and trickled down her throat. A warm sensation developed in her stomach as she drank. The human's life was slowly slipping away from him as she drank. The heart beat slowed and gradually stopped, the vampire dropped him like a sack of rocks.
Walking through the door she was greeted by her tenant smiling. When he approached her he wrapped his arms gently around her forming a hug while pulling her into him slightly. Gently she rested her head on his chest. Guilt started to take over her mind. "He deserved to live" she kept thinking. Reaching up she gripped his top. Instantly he knew something was playing on her mind, knowing her as he did, he knew that she wouldn't tell him. While holding her he gently rested his chin on the top of her head and ran his fingers through her soft long hair. Heavily she sighed. She longed for the heartbeat that she once had, not to be her own enemy and to be able to be with the man she loved. Being in love with a human meant that if a vampire found out she would be condemned to hell and the one she loved would be tortured without and mercy right in front of her eyes. But what she didn't know was that one of the most feared gangs of vampires knew about her and wants to make her pay for the wrongs she has done in the past.
"Sorry love but I have to meet up with the guys for band practise." Simply she nodded and slowly pulled away from him. The vampire waited a few minutes before she took to the roof tops to follow him and make sure he gets to his destination safely.
It wasn't long till a vampire was hot on his heels. Swiftly she jumped down and landed on her feet like a cat in front of the other vampire. Matthew, the tenant heard and turned round to see what the commotion was. Both vampires had a defensive posture, before Matthew could blink twice they wee both fighting. As he approached the two fighting vampires another vampire grabbed him from behind and quickly sank his fangs into Matthew's neck. Struggling Matthew became dizzy as everything around him started to blur. Jade quickly killed the vampire she was fighting and ran over to Matthew. Looking up she saw the vampire who bit him standing there grinning at her. Dropping Matthew the vampire flitted into the night sky. Catching him, Jade saw Matthew's eyes slowly close. He'd already given up the fight and was ready to let death take him.
Soon she was rushing through the hospital doors screaming for somebody to save him. Hours passed while she waited for Matthew to come round. Even though she was outside the room which he was she could still hear his heartbeat, but this only calmed her down a bit. Stepping out the doctor nodded at Jade to let her know that she could see him. Sighing with relief she rose out of the chair and went into the room. When she saw Matthew lying on the hospital bed she instantly felt that there was a lump in her throat. If she could cry she would be crying her eyes out by now but with her being half dead this wasn't possible. Holding his hand she felt his fingers slowly close round her hand. When her eyes landed on his perfect face she saw that he was looking at her with a questioning look. She knew what he was thinking and knew that she wouldn't be able to disguise what she was any longer. Drawing his hand away from hers he rubbed his neck where he had been bit and winced slightly.
"Have they given you any painkillers?" He shook his head. Reaching over him Jade pressed the nurse button and waited for a nurse to arrive. While they were waiting there was absolute silence between them. When Matthew took the painkillers he laid back and looked at Jade trying to figure out why he had been bitten in the neck. He couldn't come up with anything that made sense to him.
"There's something weird going on and I need to know." Matthew said breaking the silence. There was a long awkward silence before Jade answered.
"I know you do but I don't know where to start."
"How about the beginning?"
"That still doesn't help me out." She said looking him in the eyes. "That helps. Ok then; why did that guy bite me?" Again there was a silence before jade spoke.
"He's a vampire; I don't think I need to explain any more." Matthew looked at her with a strange expression on his face, pondering whether she was actually telling the truth or making it all up.
"There's no such thing." He scoffed.
"There is Matthew, there really is." Jade said with a serious expression. The room started to fill with the sound of laughter from Matthew until he saw that she was still being serious.
"Come on Jade stop messing me about."
"Matthew I'm really not messing about, they are real." She insisted. He took a while to think about the different come backs he could say.
"If they are real then prove it to me."
