Are US foreign policies good or bad?

Everyone of us can express their thoughts regarding this topic, despite of the fact we’re not expert, but some opinions we can give. First of all, America is a superpower compare to some other countries in the world. From this point of view US of America play a great role on all over in the world. Let’s remember what happened in Balkans’ country like Albania known as the most dictatorial communist country in the world, where the people had not the right to express what they thought against communist regime otherwise they would end up in jail or death penalty. Also in Kosovo,BosnjaHercegovina under domination of the Serbia, which killed thousands of innocent people, for the same reasons and in the Iraq people under Saddam regime. So, it was just America the one, which with its own foreign policies enable those countries to enjoy the freedom to day. Second is America the one which recently helped the country in need like Haiti, some African countries, because most of them live in poverty and misery. Another, America is the one that attempt to stop tendency of the Iran and North Korea about the production of the nuclear weapon. Finally, America is on top compare to all countries in the world which is taking measure for preventing as called global warm. So all of those indicate that if US foreign policies are good or bad, I say the mostly are good.

A true friend is someone who sees and encourages the best in us

Everyone needs a true friend in their lifetime, because in throughout our life we face with lot of issues, so at that time a good friend is very important when somebody is in need.
A true friend that has always been there for me, who has supported, and encouraged me, is my wife’s cousin, who has helped me in many ways and I am happy to have him in my life.
Once when I was in a car accident and my car was totaled, he has stood by me and has helped me to fix my car.
I remember that for me that time has been very difficult, because my wife was sick and I had no car to go at hospital and care for her, so his help at that time was much appreciated.
I never thought that my car could be fixed so I decided to give it up; I would have left the vehicle in the junk yard, if he did not help fixing it. He insisted and encouraged me, saying, “We can do it,” and then working together, it did get fixed.
It is because of him, that today I am still driving that car. His help and support always is present to my family, so we stay together, help and advice each other out also, do the best job we can.
As a conclusion, due to a saying which, immediately comes into my mind, states, “A friend in need, is a good friend indeed.”

Today except the Irish people, it is celebrated in America, Argentina, Australia, Canada etc. This holiday is associated with a number of activities. At first the people go to the church and pray for that day, and in afternoon the people participate in multi-day celebration, they go to the restaurant drink and feast on a traditional meal like Irish bacon, cabbage, and drink green beer.

Tahiti 3D

Tahiti 3D
The views in the movie and from the way that those was introduced have been very impressive to me, because for me was the first time to watch this type of movie. The interesting thing was that during the watching movie was the using 3D glasses, which enable us to experience an amazing understanding and feeling way of the movie. We noticed that due to the high technique of the montage of the shots, of course, with the aid of the3D glasses showed in front of us that every breaking waves’motion and skill of the surfers swimming on top of them, was described in detail, and very clear. Some fantastic views, for example, when the fishes looked like they swim almost very closer in the front of my face, and the other when the waves flap our faces and it looked like we were under water.

Justice or in-justice

Tell a story of Justice or in-justice
Throughout our lifetime we encounter justice or in-justice, this is life.
Let me tell a story that describes justice and in-justice, which has remained in my mind for a long time.
Many years ago my family decided to move to a new apartment building, of course it’s been recommended by our relatives, because they wanted us to be closer to them.
As soon as we agreed, my son and I went to check the place out. At first the building manager appeared to be “very polite” and “helpful”. Anyway, she showed us a model of the apartment, we were soon to get. So far, we were very pleased and very excited to make the move.
So, based on rule and policy, we had to complete an application process, and un-refundable security deposit was to be paid.
A couple of days later, I went to pick up the keys and take a look at our new apartment. I locked the apartment door and to my astonishment, a mess appeared in front of my eyes. The ceiling had cracks, the walls chipped paint, the carpet had cigarette burns, stains all over, a foul smell came from the kitchen.
I notified the building manager what found out, but I wondered, her response revolted me. She used an excuse that she was aware that the conditions of the apartment was an "as is" rent.
As I realized, she was literally a cheater, because she deliberately misrepresent the conditions of the apartment we would live, taking advantage by the fact, that we had to paid un-refundable security deposit earlier to the amount of $250. This was unacceptable for me,even though,I suggested her for another apartment, but she did not take it in consideration.
Finally we really got upset, and felt robbed of the way she behaved towards us.
Certainly, the court resolved the whole story, and we got the money back, but the important thing is that,there are such sort of people somewhere around us,who have defects inside their own character. Episodes like these there are everywhere, but I just tried to tell one of theme, which contains the concept of justice and in-justice, we sometimes deal with.
